The thing is with EVs, you don't need a range the same as ICE. I'm not sure if you've ever owned an EV, but the vast majority of trips are done relatively locally and with a home charger, you're pretty much always "full" after you plug in overnight. The nicest thing is that I never have to worry about going to a gas station.

For longer trips the range sort-of matters, but at least with Tesla, the Supercharger density makes most road trips not only possible but perfectly comfortable. I happen to enjoy the regular 15-20 minute stops, which is enough to go to the bathroom or stretch. I've heard the same from others who swore they'd hate the forced stops. Sure, some may want to bee-line it, but I don't believe that's true for most.

The only other place having slightly longer range would be nice is for cold (going into the mountains to ski in my Y is fine based on where I live, but uses a good chunk of range and much more than the actual driving distance would imply, but it's cold, up a mountain, and with a ski rack on top) or towing (which I don't do, but in generally even a light trailer will halve your range).

I'm no expert on education, but having been a TA and helped out a few people since, I repeatedly see text getting in the way of everything else.

Beginners often find both the things you are saying some what hard.

First, note that there is reading vs editing. Perhaps in grade school people learn to parse large expressions (though I find that people generally are not prepared well, because grade school expressions are too small). But editing code and keeping track of what changes you made --- essential to debug your first programs --- is much more new to people who are used to just rewriting a few short algebra expresions with pencils. It's then, when the beginner is most mentally taxed, that the syntax errors creep in --- and further interrupt their thinking process.

Hopefully we can agree the second challenge is completely fundamental to the field, while the first however is just an artifact of the way things are implemented today. Well, based on the above scenario and others I repeated see the cognitive burden of the first interrupting the second, and so student waste effort and loose focus over "easy stupid text syntax", and therefore long delay mastery of trees, term rewriting and substitution in particular, etc.

Not the OP but in a sense that's what happens, yes, even though I wouldn't use that "invisible hand" metaphor (which I personally find it a little over-used) but more like the "BS-jobs class system" (composed of most of the C-execs, of most middle-managers, of some HR and marketing people) making sure it is successful at reproducing itself.

That doesn't exactly support your claims for most of forensics. If you read/skim the NAS report these articles are based on, you will see that much of the issue is not with the underlying science, but rather in the "interpretation" part. Yes, the odontology seems to be unsupported. But even the fire analysis that you list as an example is said to have a scientific basis like chemistry, but that the interpretation part has issues.

How to deliver constructive feedback in difficult situations (2019)
I think a healthcare system based on the following model could work great:

* Federal government provides public health insurance to all taxpayers.
* Every healthcare provider submits a list of tests/procedures they offer, and the price that they charge for each test/procedure. The prices are public data. Providers can charge whatever price they want.
* When you need a test/procedure, you use a website provided by the public insurance system which looks up all providers within a reasonable distance (search radius would be algorithmically determined so that at least 3-5 providers are included in the comparison). The public insurance program covers the price of the cheapest option. Patients are free to choose any provider they want, but if they don't choose the cheapest, they need to pay the difference out of pocket.
>But for a person capable enough to become a surgeon, there very well may be decent odds of success via a different route

There's a few issues here. First, surgery can have bad work life balance depending on the subspecialty. Some spend a lot of time on call, some basically work 9-5 or less.

Second, unlike basically every other very high paying profession, surgery requires working with your hands, and physical and mental stamina to endure hours of operating. Just getting through med school requires above average intelligence and hard work, but you don't need to be a super genius. The abilities that make someone a good surgeon don't necessarily translate to any other profession that is that highly paid.

Third, surgery is a very direct path to what most people would consider serious wealth for someone who is smart enough/hardworking enough to get into med school, but didn't necessarily get into one of the top tier schools that some of the other very high paying careers recruit from.

All that aside, surgery isn't the only specialty that is very highly paid.

> that allows them to work a Mon to Fri 8 to 5 job

Many very highly paid subspecialties work Mon to Fri 9-5 and some even less.

>maybe even work from home

Radiologists routinely work from home, and there are remote opportunities for other doctors as well.

>and live in a popular city as opposed to living in a less popular area (many doctor's get paid more for living in less popular areas, for obvious reasons).

That is only true for certain specialties and subspecialties. My wife's sub speciality requires her to live in cities with a population of at least 500k or so. Many of the very highly paid subspecialties are similar.

Even for family medicine the difference is only 5-10%.

Funny I was born pretty much at the date of the Triple Revolution.

I've noticed increasing productivity leading to unemployment hasn't happened it seems to me because people like to be gainfully employed rather than doing so because the work is essential. Even if they make the same money as being unemployed. Hence my friends have occupations like social media promoter or yoga teacher that mostly didn't exist 50 years ago. Maybe when the robots do all the essential work we shall teach each other yoga and influence each other with beach selfies.

Re the other two revolutions I'm glad MAD (mutually assured destruction) is no longer talked about and think we are making slow progress on human rights, some places more than others.

> to accelerate the access to relevant information so that the world can move forward faster.

While I would love this to be true, we have to remember that so much of the internet is a business in our capitalist economy. To many YouTube channels (especially the big ones), the primary purpose of the title is to get someone to watch the video to make money. Sharing information is only a secondary purpose.

This is true across basically every business. The primary purpose of anything is profit, and every other thing is secondary. This is why health care is difficult to privatize, as the primary purpose of profit is very easily at odds with the secondary purpose of health outcomes.

I feel like I see this purpose thing come up all the time in different parts of businesses, and it really makes me wonder whether this system is sustainable. The YouTube channel is justified in writing a clickbait title, because other types of titles reduce profit. And because of the way our society and economy works, reducing profit is always a “bad” thing. You could say that with more profit, the creators could expand the business and provide even more value to their viewers. Maybe that’s true in this case, but that’s basically the whole reason clickbait exists. I’m not sure we should be that happy about it.
This kind of collusion is shown to occur regularly in every industry eventually, every single time. History repeats itself over and over again.

Yet tons of people continue to believe in and join the chorus about the wonders of capitalism, the free market and competition whenever any sort of government antitrust intervention or regulations are proposed. Its easy to defend capitalism in black and white terms as opposed to communism/socialism while completely ignoring the vast middle ground between 0 government oversight and total control. I hope these stupid tactics are one day broadly recognized by voters..

We often exhort the public to “follow the science” — but provide no tools to distinguish between good science and bad science. Heck, it looks like even journals and expert reviewers can’t differentiate any more!

The average person is as likely to be convinced by this as any IPCC report. Since the “science” seems “equally strong” on “both sides”, people will just end up picking whatever resonates with their tribe.

See https://slatestarcodex.com/2019/06/03/repost-epistemic-learn...

Is there a way forward, other than telling people to trust certain experts and distrust others? That fundamentally reduces all debate to a mud fight.

...so the probability of a fire in an ICE car is about 0.04% per year? Assuming fires are randomly distributed (which is a bad assumption, granted) then over a lifetime of car ownership, the average individual has about a one in fifty chance of experiencing a vehicle fire. That is very much higher than I would have expected.

I'm also searching a replacement for my T430, battery is dead, and I still have the factory display. I'm looking for a modded x230,

So, if the market doesn't change soon, I'm going to upgrade the display, buy a new battery, change some stickers and go on with my tank.

As you say, newer machines are let's say...different.

I’ve often heard people say about range/charging anxiety: “just use your electric car for your commute around town and for long trips keep your gasoline car or rent one”

PHEVs do that all in the same car. Since much of the charging stations have been monopolized by Tesla in the US, I think PHEVs are the solution to infrastructure growing pains.

I agree with your distress at the state of the justice system, but it doesn’t make sense to say that someone was on death row without having been convicted.

There was a small rent price drop during Covid in some hot property markets that were popular as being the country's cultural / tourist capital (e.g. New York or Amsterdam). When the lockdowns it's hard to sell a $200 a night hotel or a $2000 a month rent to people who can't even go to a restaurant or museum.

But even with the modest drops, rental prices in such cities are still waaaaaay above anywhere else, and the prices are already on the rise again.

Apart from that I have no clue what you're referring to.

>the vast majority of trips are done relatively locally and with a home charger

Surely this depends on your use case. This is likely true if you use your car to commute, or you live in a rural area so you need to use a car to go shopping. But not everybody uses a car for those things, and you've just listed a bunch of use-cases where the range would be useful. This an option that those who do need it can opt into, which makes perfect sense to me.
