There are studies that suggest it's not the absolute range per charge of an electric vehicle that matters, it's how quickly you can extend that range. If you look at ICE cars nobody worries about range despite some of them having abysmal fuel consumption and range. But with a refill taking minutes, and gas pumps being ubiquitous and able to serve a large amount of customers simultaneously without interfering with the capacity of nearby stations, this is never a real issue.

Battery energy density is increasing and that's great. But if I were to venture a guess this mostly benefits people who can spend several hours to fully charge them, like at home. A battery that can add 200-300Km of range in 10-15 minutes would probably do a lot for the people who can't charge at home.

But this also introduces the next issue: large scale quick charging. Being able to quick charge a substantial number of cars simultaneously takes a lot of power. Having quick charge and a big battery on the car doesn't help at scale unless all charging stations are prepared to deliver the same (maybe giant banks of batteries taking the role of the underground fuel tank).

There's no silver bullet when it comes to clean driving. It's a lot of incremental advancements mixed in with some revolutionary ones which need both time and investment. And perhaps a bit of change in human psychology.
Often, explaining/teaching has only short term value in terms of the product. The code will outlive the team; I try to factor the knowledge into the code, making the code easy to deal with.

I also spend a lot of time explaining and teaching, as it is necessary, but it's really a stopgap measure. Give it a few years and there's mostly new people.

I was surprised to see, in the 1999 email you linked, that NSA mass surveillance was already widely known, before the NSA ramp up from 9/11 and before the Snowden disclosures.

Exactly. But before the Snowden leaks hardly anyone in the mainstream believed or listened to these "conspiracist" hacker/cypherpunk dudes.
They are not healthier in terms of fat/protein/nutrients. They do lack some of the cancerous elements of meat production (nitrates). But the big win is that they are made from plants and cost far less to produce while removing the animal cruelty and greatly reducing the risk for disease spread (because of not using animals). Seeing as we are in the midst of a pandemic caused by meat eating and we’ve had several other smaller pandemics we believe were caused by meat eating that seems like a big win for the future (hiv originated with bushmeat, h1n1, mad cow disease).
For me LearnObit is an outliner that helps you quickly study and memorize anything. It's a flashcard app that helps you memorize, an outline tool that helps you understand and helps you prepare. It's a go-to tool for all my study and planning needs. It helps me study with no distractions, and no interruptions. It creates and helps in studying using digital flashcards for me. Using spaced repetition it helps me remember things for longer. I honestly would like to say it’s a spaced repetition flashcard app, but it’s more than that. Honestly I would say to give it a try. I am sure you folks too will be impressed by it.

Connecting to others is simple. What's more difficult is getting inbound connections, ie. others connecting to you. Historically you asked people to connect to you but recently you have https://pool.lightning.engineering/ (integrated into Raspiblitz) with which you can buy incoming connections easily.

> do you make any money from lighting fees?

In short no. I made ~$30 from routing fees in 6 months and spent around the same on on-chain fees (opening/closing channels). It's just an experiment for me (same with bitcoin itself) to see how it all works not something i expect to generate money.
I think it's partly that but it is also a matter of timing.

Imputed rent tax and mortgage tax deduction make sense together but not separately in my opinion.

Mortgage tax deduction without tax on imputed rent (as in Norway, Sweden and the US) is a subsidy to those who are rich enough to own their own homes. It is also a perverse incentive in that if you pay off your mortgage, you lose the tax benefit. So people take larger mortgages than makes sense, and invest their spare cash in risky assets rather than paying their mortgages down.

An imputed rent tax without a deduction for mortgage interest would be grossly unfair to borrowers, but does not exist anywhere as far as I know.

An imputed rent tax with a deduction lightly taxes mortgage borrowers against the benefits they receive from owning not renting. It has a bigger effect on owner occupiers without mortgages - they pay the full tax without any deduction. So it is progressive. It also levels the playing field between landlords and owner-occupiers - both are taxed on the rental value of their property and receive (roughly similar) deductions. So neither form of ownership has a built-in advantage.

(Probably the right wing parties want to remove the tax deduction because they also want to get rid of the tax on imputed rent?) As pointed out in the reply, this was a misunderstanding.

A couple of additions on why people graduate from uni so late here.

First, it often takes multiple attempts to get into one. The most popular programs have admission rates of around 10%, but since "it defines the rest of your life", why not try at least once? Then the next year, or year after that, if you're still not in, you can try something more realistic.

Second, (my experience, 15 years ago, your mileage may vary), the whole thing is just inefficiently organized. Where I went, there was 4 six week lecture periods per year, each followed by a week or two of exams. Many courses would have mandatory coursework you can only do during the lecture periods. In the end you're left with 28 weeks of crunch time per year, and the remaining 24 weeks to just fill with whatever.

Most choose to work that almost half an year, some lucky ones actually find something from their own field, though the odds go up as you're getting more years in. Then at some point you find the job more satisfying (because it's nice to actually get paid) than completing your MSc, which you then finally scrape together before having children at 30-something (if even then; I know I didn't).

On topic: I think most people on this trajectory wouldn't settle in the NEET column anyway, at least for extended periods of time.
Just as a point, I wouldn’t give you credit card details to try a demo. I don’t think many people would - hard enough to get people to give them for a trial, nevermind to try uploading a file.

Of course because it's absolute nonsense. We spent the last several decades trying to make vehicles lighter for their size, and nobody loads their car with bricks and sandbags to get that "heavier feeling". Lower center of gravity is great but completely decoupled from the overall mass of the vehicle. The fact that the comment came back from downvote graveyard is a testament that not only will people say anything to support even a ludicrous claim, many others will support it without batting an eye.

That's the best part. Junior hires think their code review went horribly because they had to fix a lot of things. And then their performance review says that they are doing a great job.

>If you don't have any guarantees about the data in the first place then static typing ends up being a lot of pain without much benefit.

Uh huh. Are you trying to come up with scenarios that you think a typed language wouldn't be useful ... because you don't understand typed languages?

If you have to work with crap JSON blobs with arbitrary and inconsistent typing, static typing doesn't prevent you from treating it as a 'dynamic' untyped map. That's true of pretty much every typed language there is, from TypeScript, to Dart, to Java, to C#. I do a lot of JSON consuming in Java and Dart. My preference is to enforce a schema on the incoming JSON blob and parse it into a typed object automatically, but if I can't, then I just parse it to Map<?,?> OR List<?> and work on that level.

At some point you're going to have to write code to figure out the type of whatever property you're interested in because it may be important to know whether the property is a string, an int, a float, an array, or whatever.

>But when you're in that situation static typing isn't solving your first problems.

Neither is dynamic typing. You're in the exact same boat in that case ... except you get the benefit of typing in the rest of your app.

As I said, 10-15 minutes seems completely realistic when talking about the sensor stabilized and comparatively slow flight modes.

Most FPV channels that were reporting on the DJI FPV drone and actually tested the completely manual flight mode (which is the only one that really compares to the FPV flying you see in many videos) got around 3-5 minutes out of the battery.

And again, it makes sense when looking at freestyle maneuvers and how much power they require.

I think that still leaves open the issue of humans hunting animals for sport. For example, if someone enjoys hunting lions, is that "a good reason", in the same way that someone enjoying torturing a house cat is "not a good reason"?

Fortunately I think there is a simple resolution to this question, in that torturing animals is heavily associated with (if not predictive or causative of) a tendency to harm humans too, and so it should be forbidden for that reason alone.

Similarly, it is justified to ban specifically hunting which leads to extinction of rare animals on the basis that the existence of these animals is part of the common cultural heritage of humanity and therefore no one has a right to prevent future generations from enjoying it.

Syntax cleanliness is ultimately subjective, so if you don't see a problem with that then I don't think I can persuade you. To me, it just seems obvious that it's more painful than what I wrote. But I'll mention a couple of specific reasons anyway:

* The most concerning thing is knowing to write that in the first place. I think that if the ? syntax were the real one then you'd soon get used to writing a snippet like in my comment, but with the current syntax it's always going to take a bit of mental mind bending to come up with what you've written.

* Even if you get it right when writing it, what you've written is vastly more verbose, and adding that redundant variable name (twice!) is just going to be distracting when reading it back.

By the way, what you wrote is not equivalent to what I wrote (I wonder if that means your snippet is not as obvious as you're suggesting): you've matched against "something" rather than "x". Instead you'd need to do:

case Point(also_x, y) if also_x == x:

That's the thing though: someone who has bought their car and their home in cash isn't a high-risk borrower, rather, he or she is someone who is able to save in order to do that, so he or she should be considered a low-risk borrower. I'm not going to acquiesce to the contrary.
It's probably psychology.

This used to be true, but you are now required to pay down the loan by law. Restrictions are the following:

- Maximum loan is 85% of property value (min down payment 15%)
- Annual pay down 2% until at 75% of property value
- Annual pay down 1% until at 50% of property value
- An additional 1% annual pay down if you have borrowed more than a multiple of your annual income (either 4.5x or 5.5x, can't remember exactly)

Used to be that you just borrowed 100% and paid down nothing, kind of absurd to be honest.
On the contrary, this enables poor people to go to university and stop being poor. As another person noted, where the money is coming from is a separate issue, namely your tax policies.

In Sweden the more you earn, the higher percentage of your wages goes to taxes, so at least here it's subsidised by the upper and middle classes more than the lower classes(under a certain wage there is no tax at all, though I can't recall the number right now)
