I think you are ignoring the fact that we can produce extraordinary amounts of electricity from sources that were not available at economic scale 10 years ago.

A solar farm is capable of producing 350 Mwh per year/per acre and it takes 18 kwh to power a Tesla for a 100km ride [1], so a single acre of solar power can produce enough energy for 19,000 of those rides, or power 190 cars (10.000 km per year) just by putting a bit more than the roof of their parking lots in solar cells.

Furthermore, people do want to have their own car, and they are going to become the more affordable than their ICE counterparts and the polluting and flammable oil they need.

Not sure why you are downvoted, IMO this can really help with security in server environments -- or help some companies close down their kernel even more (like Google's Android closed-source extensions).

I love the direction! Wouldn't it be amazing to have services exposed through secure APIs so that we can create a number of tools around the services, instead of using a single wallet?
They pretty much have to keep this short. Anything more permanent and you open up the risk of "alternative" databases being build by nefarious third parties.
But isn’t that a niche case? I’d have thought the vast majority of car usage is short local trips and regular commutes, not road trips. If you’re able to charge the car at home that should cover most usage.
That is also true of a gas vehicle.
> It will be interesting to see what the solutions to this are.

I imagine that battery prices are going to be driven down by the cars, and come into their own in terms of supporting old grids
Why is Arduino technologically obselete?
Isn't arduino supposed to be a framework on which you build various applications using wide range of microcontrollers?
> Do you really think we can cover our far-future energy needs with renewables alone?

No, but they don't need to. Nearly all of today's technologies are incredibly wasteful as they are black box and produced within a system that seeks infinite growth.

Just look at the corporate-product produced e-waste [1], the corporate move against 'right-to-repair', and the relentless corporate walling off of the knowledge commons (scientific research) [2]. The effects of black box technologies on the education and knowledge commons are harrowing on their own.

Instead we can have an open source society that doesn't block people from learning, re-using and repairing the tech in our daily lives (and make it all modular). That means we won't use all the bloated technology we use today (goodbye archaic Intellectual Property system):

"The current political economy is based on a false idea of “immaterial scarcity.”

It believes that an exaggerated set of intellectual property monopolies – for copyrights, trademarks and patents – should restrain the sharing of scientific, social and economic innovations.3 Hence the system discourages human cooperation, excludes many people from benefiting from innovation and slows the collective learning of humanity. In an age of grave global challenges, the political economy keeps many practical alternatives sequestered behind private firewalls or unfunded if they cannot generate adequate profits." [3]

The way to get there is a better and more open quantification of the material flows/throughputs in society. The breakthroughs behind Valueflo.ws and Holo-REA (Holo-REA is a combination of http://valueflo.ws and http://holochain.org) make this possible. Together these projects enable a fully distributed Network Resource Planning software (in contrast to today's Enterprise Resource Planning systems/software that walls of the material accounting of planetary resources).

"The current political economy is based on a false idea of material abundance.

We call it pseudo-abundance. It is based on a commitment to permanent growth, the infinite accumulation of capital and debt-driven dynamics through compound interest. This is unsustainable, of course, because infinite growth is logically and physically impossible in any physically constrained, finite system." [4]

I'm curious how NVMe-oF compares to iSER?

From a quick search it seems that NVMe-oF is still early days with limited implementations, where iSER is more established. Both rely on RDMA.

I could not find any performance comparisons. Any insight here?

No. The federal council has stated in multiple press conferences that the 6 month period is solely because we only have good data about vaccine protection for this time period.

Your comment kind of assumes that tomorrow every car in existence will turn into an EV. If you realize that it will actually be a more gradual process, the question actually becomes "but who will provide supply for a thing that is in such demand?!", and then, well, you know.

This is an SSO for ID purposes. (passport/national ID).

Central repository won't store anything, the same as google SSO doesn't store your data if you sign in to third party sites. (it just authenticates you).

Maybe this is what you are misunderstanding?

Also, government already has your data, so that 1 central repository for IDs already exists.

As for hacking... going after any one of those 3000 is less likely to get you in trouble then going after a government (as incompetent as they are). See oil pipeline hack to understand consequences.

It's a combination of both. You can think that the bottom price of every cycle is the actual non-hype price for Bitcoin. Hype drives adoption and when the hype dies, there's always people who want to be in it for the long run.

We already have capacity for that much electricity generation. We'll have to be careful about managing the peak usage - smart chargers which can be remotely cut off will probably be mandatory.

As an example, the UK grid yesterday saw a peak of about 30 GW, but was sitting at 20 GW for most of the night. (https://gridwatch.co.uk/). That's about 70 GWh of overnight capacity that could have been used (the grid has to be sized for peak loads).

The average car in the UK drives about 7000 miles a year (https://www.bymiles.co.uk/insure/magazine/mot-data-research-...). An average EV might get 3 miles per kWh.

So the average car, on an average night, needs 20 miles of range - which is about 6.4kWh. Our grid excess capacity of 70 GWh means we can charge just under 11 million cars before we're using more than our current peak electricity demand.

The UK grid is designed for more capacity than todays peak, though. The maximum delivered power in the last year was 47.275 GW. If we maximised the grid at that level all year we'd be adding an additional 17 GW compared to yesterday. That's 408 GWh, or enough power for an additional 63.7 million cars (on top of our 11 million) - a total of 74.7 million average cars. The UK currently has around 32.9 million registered cars.

There is undoubtedly going to be hotspots which need more work, but overall the additional load of electric cars (with smart chargers which can shed load if needed) is within the limits of the current grid and generation capacity.
To address your 3rd point (can't talk about the first 2 ones), it seems very Western-centric. If you go to a poorer countries you'd see old cars imported from Europe (or Japan - in the eastern parts of Russia you see a lot of right hand drive cars!) which are there because they're no longer economical to run in their home countries. Also trucks and buses.

Without regulations or any sort of push, these vehicles will probably keep chugging along for another few decades. A benevolent leading country like the USA that seem to only exist in myths and legends of the past would probably push the poor countries by coupling economic aid with environmental regulations, and then selling them "new and clean" vehicles made in Detroit.

Maybe China will step up, although of course we in the West attribute their actions to wanting something in return, unlike the benevolent USA. ;) Let's not talk about the EU government, which is just a stupid club of paper pushers...
I already know Python, Java, Java for Android, Neoxam script, scripts (bash, bat), and Angular to some degree. I've also used JS, AngularJS, C++, C#, powershell, assembly (Intel), and COBOL in the past. So yeah, stuff translates and it isn't that hard to learn a new language (neoxam is probably the hardest since there is limited documentation and examples).

I don't have any interests in games or drivers. Those aren't applicable in my company either. I am currently working on an Angular site. I will host it on S3 with a Lambda and maybe SQS for a marketing email list. This is tech that we use at my job, and many other places.
Pick any random apartment complex in the US and pretend 80% of the residents there own an EV, not a hybrid, but a fully electric vehicle.

Where and how do they charge it?

If you've lived in an apartment complex, think how often they upgrade anything, much less something they may not be able to charge (financially) residents appropriately.
People expect vehicle to work even in the one-off cases like long trips. You can't just design for the median trip.
Last mile infrastructure can be upgraded incrementally. It doesn't have to be upgraded immediately. The cost won't be unmanageable when it does get upgraded.

In addition, solar panels are localizing production and already taking load off the grid. Smart charging is already here and can be adjusted to charge when the sun is shining and wind is blowing hardest.

The future is here already it's just not widely distributed, but the capital to do all of these things is cheap and readily available.

I don't see any insurmountable challenges here.

> US government proposals to reform the global tax system by imposing a minimum 15% corporation tax rate

Is this even remotely plausible and useful, or are we just fooling ourselves? It seems to me that the winner of the digital economy will be the country with the lowest tax burden, not just in rates, but mostly cost and complication of financial compliance. It’s very telling when CFOs become more than a minor accessory to a business. That means that the business is thinking about taxes more than they think about delivering value. Imagine the growth advantage that a simplified tax country would have.
I live in a pretty big city. I can't remember ever actually seeing a charging station for electric cars.

They're probably around. But I don't see them, so I don't know that they're around. This definitely makes me more cautious about getting an electric car.

We own a house, so we can put in an electric charger, but that would mean parking inside our garage. The problem is that our garage has been taken over by storage (working on that problem) and my woodworking. And when we do park the car in the garage, it's hard to get around the washer/dryer to get into the house.

We've already decided not to park the car in the garage except during big storms.

So even though we should be able to charge at home, we couldn't really do it well.

There are a ton of problems with how things are set up for the majority of people in regards to charging EVs. There's a lot of momentum to overcome.
You have the choice to both adaway and firefox with the usual addons. You can also choose to not have google on your phone.
In aggregate total energy generation needs to increase, but last mile delivery simply isn’t a major issue. EV’s don’t need that much energy daily and they can charge at night when residential use is low. Assuming ~100% home charging, 1kW per car * 10 hours ~= 40 miles per day ~= 15,000 miles per year.

Drop that to 80% home charging and you’re at 8 hours x 1kW per car.

However, even if car sales go 100% electric it would take ~15 years before 99% of cars in use are electric. That’s a lot of time to ramp up a measly 1-2 kW of load at most houses.
Destination chargers seem a key point. If I could reliably add significant charge while spending time in a store/restaurant I’d probably never worry about range.
Flimsy planes don't sunk battleships, torpedoes do and this was proven in WW1. By the time of WW2, torpedoes were even better, also the planes carrying it. If you include bombers, it was obvious that planes can sink battleships and destroyers.

The article is about dismissing proven danger as being unrealistic. All you need to do is to have some radar stations (and not to ignore it) and patrol aircrafts and a good alerting system so you can raise your planes in the air. It is that simple.
People without a ton of disposable income who can’t afford to rent a car for fun don’t want a car that only fits _most_ of their use cases.
This argument seems exactly backwards to me. If working abroad or using foreign services is difficult due to bureaucratic incompatibilities, then of course less people will do it. Anecdotally, I've certainly used foreign services where I had to ID myself and happily welcome any change that makes movement easier.

There will always be irreconcilable language differences and people do have a preference for staying in their birthplace, but that is no reason to not improve things.

I'm more worried about the EU actually implementing this well, but time will tell.
There is this other school of thought where you actively embrace rejection. Quotes like the following (paraphrased) show this:

- If you have no enemies, you're not doing something important

- If you don't fail 90% of the time, you're not pushing your boundaries hard enough

The idea being that once you get rejected often enough, you lose your fear of it and you start becoming authentic and true to yourself.

> No employee ever genuflected to me

You're arguing in bad faith by making a caricature out of my argument. Please don't. I meant there is a clear dependency, like in software. Your app isn't free of dependencies if it imports other packages. It needs them to function. There's vendor lock-in.

> Either party could walk away

This might have been true for you, but doesn't generalise well. Yes, in theory people can walk away. In practice, they're dependent on their employer for healthcare coverage, survival, general life stability... etc.

It's not because you or I currently have a financial buffer and can survive stretches of unemployment that this is the case for the entire population. In case you missed it, a majority of Americans cannot afford a $500 dollar surprise expense out of pocket (0).

Imagine you're a millennial with college debt in an area without a lot of jobs and analyse how free you really are to leave the one job you managed to get. How likely are you to get funding for a business? What's the tensile strength of your bootstraps?

You're entitled to look at it as a simple transaction, but the distribution of leverage for most people is distinctly asymmetrical, especially in anti-union countries like the US. So are the legal advantages, political influence, legal accountability, etc when comparing companies to individuals.

I can think of many application with no need for wireless backhaul, or where wireless becomes a liability. It boils down to cost, power, noise, security, frequency used, and complexity. LoRa or similar is probably better than Wifi for many applications. I like that it isn't opinionated about the wireless stack.

I'm guessing that lots of Picos will see use as enhanced GPIOs for Pi "motherships," which provide backhaul to multiple wired-in Picos.

In fact I have a project which could use a decidedly non-wireless USB GPIO, for use on an airplane imaging system.
It's been clear the whole ICE chain is full of tipping points and hidden boosters that we have been seriously starting to accelerate towards for at least a decade now. This article actually doesn't even touch on many of the most important ones. Vehicles aren't just about the vehicle themselves, they include the whole chain needed to supply them with whatever energy they need and all the consequences said chain entails. For ICE, that means gasoline or diesel, and in turn a massive global supply chain with unavoidable geopolitical implications. Much the supply chain has the property of extremely high capex and fairly fixed by significant capex working upon a fairly cheap input.

A modern refinery for example costs billions of dollars and then huge amounts more to keep running. What makes it all work is that it can be amortized with great reliability (demand for personal mechanized transportation isn't going anyway) across tremendous numbers of people. This shows up in how the industry itself tends to calculate the costs of refineries, which isn't in straight price but rather capex outlay per barrel of oil. For a long time refineries tended to be around $10-15k/barrel outlay, though that has gone up, and then operating cost. It's most efficient to run it at max capacity all the time.

But if a critical mass of people switch to electric, suddenly the same fixed costs have to be spread out across a group that's shrunk enough that they see a significant cost increase at the pump. This shifts the economics against it further, and also begins to shift the economics for ships, pipelines and gas stations themselves, which encourages more BEV usage, which then repeats and boom we've got a driver for a classic equilibrium shift which makes for the steep part of an S-curve.

And I think this sort of thing is rife through the industry. There are lots of hidden subsidies that are politically viable because the industry is necessary and in turn rich/powerful which it uses to entrench itself further. But as the bottom falls out those will get questioned more too. For a lot of countries they could get rid of significant externalities, geopolitical risk/unpleasantness, as well as explicit subsidies if they no longer depended on oil for transportation.

BEVs also tie in nicely with a host of other positive spirals, like plummeting renewables driving demand for batteries both for vehicles and the grid (and vehicles indeed could play a major part in that creating genuine new economic value out of a time period when current vehicles are just sitting around depreciating). Enhancements to the grid also enhance every single electric user on the grid, so the amortization and ROI there can be fantastic too.

So yeah, as well the vehicles themselves seeing a mass production rocket, there's a ton of other drivers pushing for a relatively sudden phase change. It'll be an interesting decade.
