It isn't. In about 5-10 years we will see a big push to delay that deadline, or even quietly shelve it. The industrial sector in particular is nowhere near switching, and they are critical - by and large, distribution relies on rubber, and that rubber is not going to be electric in 10 years time.

Me too, not sure if I should be worried or if the algorithm is a bit wonky. I am in my mid-30s, graduated with university degree in a STEM field, and have been continuously employed since I left university but filled it out as if I had just quit. The summary after I entered everything showed the following decision tree:

How quickly do you believe you will get a job: "Don't know" (I've enough savings to carry me a couple of years, no rush)

Origin: "Western immigrant"

Verdict: high risk of long-term unemployment.

If the little summary is to be believed, there are no other important factors. Changing my "Don't know" to 3 months reduced me to "low risk of long-term unemployment". So if I’m not mistaken, the main factor for their estimate for how long you will be unemployed … is your estimate on how long you’ll be unemployed?
> He was non-violent, and conscientious, and principled, and enforced the law with unusual accuracy and precision [...] I'm inclined to imagine that they found his resistance to what he saw as bad, stupid, or unethical policies inconvenient [...] Are we really sure that it's unreasonable to reject an applicant because he is too smart, if it creates a dissatisfied officer and dissatisfied superiors?

You summarized in a short number of lines why I left the United States, and why I think it's unsalvageable. "This man was smart and ethical, and thus was a bad police officer, because this was inconvenient to his superiors, and that all makes sense to me."

What's particularly morally empty about your argument is that the rights and needs of the citizens are completely ignored - not even mentioned. In this world, the only people who need satisfying are his "superiors".

I think you've been watching too much Fox. The EU is almost totally within NATO, so when you're using the word 'deterrence', and 'near abroad', you're not talking about defensive deterrence. You're talking about the ability to project hard power. That's something most EU citizens have no interest in.

When you're talking about 'policing external borders', you're both ignorant of the reality (EU power projection in the 'near abroad' has led to the non-EU states in the periphery stemming migrant flows), and you're again, arguing the EU is lacking something most of its citizens do not want. The vast majority of arrivals in the EU have legitimate claims to asylum, and human rights are a more important value than having proper paperwork.

The regulation stuff is what the EU is supposed to do. The whole elevator pitch of the EU is you get all the economic integration without the political integration. So banning IC engines, establishing standards, that kind of stuff, is part of the program. That's why a disparate set of nations that often hate eachother all want to be part of the same union.

The savings depend on what you benchmark against. But energy savings between 50-75% for a new house compared to an old one, seems realistic. And maybe older houses could be modernized in ways that would save 25%-50% in many cases.

Tearing down all old houses and building new ones is obviously not an alternative, so a transition to new standards is likely to take 50 years or more, even though some of the benefit can be realized by modernizing existing housing.

But even $30000-€50000 euros to lower energy consumption is also a big investment for many families, and even WITH that investment, heating prices in Norway and Sweden will be 2-3x historic prices if prices stabilize at current levels, especially if the governments stop subsidies.

I think every country will have trouble bringing their population to accept having to use electricity at prices about €0.1/kwh, even if over a very long term, it is possible to build houses (at extra costs) that bring the consumption down a bit. At such prices, people in Germany, Denmark, Poland, Hungary etc will simply continue burning natural gas indefinitely.
EU doesn’t use oil to run it’s electric grid.

There is enough Natural Gas production in the EU + UK to cover electricity production. It’s home heating that needs imported gas.

There is no way to do that because the v8 engine interprets and compiles JavaScript, not TypeScript. You can use esbuild, which is much faster than webpack. Deno uses swc, which is faster than webpack as well. You don't need to use deno to get that experience though.

> The Western European cities that are oftentimes given as positive examples (I’m thinking about Copenhagen and Amsterdam most)

Cycling in these cities are probably related to tourism more than anything else. When you have time and you are flexible, sure cycling works well. If you are pressed for time and you need to be places regardless of weather, not so great.

I'm from a northern european country, have cycled in all weathers, winter etc, and I think it's one of the most pointless wastes of tax money and inducing unnecessary hardships on people with problems that are already solved much better. All for virtue signalling.

Do you have details for this claim? Is their needs anything more than what their supplier Zenlabs claims to have developed?

If so, it doesn't seem to me that they require anything more than what has already been proven in the lab, and is somewhere in the stages of late lab development to early pilot production by several companies (Zenlab, SES, QuantumScape, Sila, etc)

Nothing is guaranteed until one of these companies have actually started shipping massive amount of batteries to a finished commercial product. But seems almost inevitable now that a step improvement in energy density will be achieved in a shipping product in the next 5-10 years.

You have to fight again and again to enforce GDPR. GDPR certainly did not make ISPs more honest. In fact, Vodafone (in Europe) has just announced that they will track all connections, assign each customer a supercookie (on their side) and sell out the paying customer to advertisers.

I don't think this would have happened in Europe in 2005.

Somewhat ironically, that's also the basic principle enshrining the primacy of the US federal government - rules for interstate commerce.

The main difference between the US system and EU system is that one was effectively built top-down, and the other bottom-up. At some point, they will likely reach a similar equilibrium, with US states becoming more and more independent and EU states less and less so.
You better not know what else scientists do to rats. And please, don't even start on the argument that they do it for science and not for entertainment. Entertainment in the form of science fiction is crucial for inspiring new generations of scientists.
That's a strawman. Intense weather like a flooded city that would stop a car would of course stop a bike, but you're either stuck at home or stuck outside regardless of what you do. The only relevant weather is common weather you would have no issue with in a car (or would not allow you to do remote work that day).

It should also be noted that many Europeans have cars but bike in medium to good weather. I take the car in hail or snow for example, but bike as much as a car otherwise as I physically and mentally feel better after biking, I reduce pollution and I save money. Wins all around.
Built this little tool as a weekend project and was pleasantly surprised that it lived up to the name (only took a weekend). Planning on keeping it free for the current core functionality and adding a paid sub level for ease-of-life features (keeping track of your surveys, integration with newsletter products for specifics on who said what, etc) if there's demand for it. I'm open to all feedback! This is the first of several little projects I'm making with the goal of monetization.

PS. if you're going to say something about the design, or lack thereof, the motivation is utility first, pretty later. If I can't get one user to use it as is, polishing won't improve the value prop.

I already have a 2000W inverter wired to my Prius' 12v battery. Pop the car in ready mode and I can run things off it for ages, and then unplug them and go refuel the car if needed.

Having the extra storage battery mounted at my house would be cool and all I guess, but you don't need this to back up your house's power supply with a Prius.

(I live in a small, simple house and only run the blower fan for my propane heating system, my refrigerator, my freezer, and a lamp off the inverter. I suppose if you had much more complex power needs, the battery would be a larger advantage, but for emergency power outages, it keeps me from freezing or losing all my food.)

If you have a combustion engine and want to change to electric, who will buy it from you? Or how do you get rid of your old car? There will be basically no demand in Europe.

Just wondering what will happen to all these existing cars, it’s nice to know new cars will be electric but what are people supposed to do with their current ones? Lot of them won’t be usable in cities due to low-emission zoning policies.

Edit: it’s a genuine question, I don’t understand the logistic behind it, other than driving your old car to Turkey and sell it there, which isn’t realistic for the millions of existing cars. I asked it a few times in the past but didn’t get satisfying answers.
> If anything, using older planes improved the movie by raising the stakes when they went up against the Su-57s.

Though it made that scene where the characters are in an outdated and badly maintained F-14 slightly less believable. Like in the briefings, going up against the Su-57 with F-18 was seen as a dubious proposition, so with the F-14, the only way they'd survive was with their super-power of being main characters in a modern movie.
>in 2015 it was agreed to let people in

There was no common EU agreement to do that though. It was mostly Germany posturing for good PR and to try to save their ageing demographics and supplement their manufacturing sector which is dependent on imported cheap labor to stay competitive, as the cheap labor from the Eastern Block dried up.

Denmark and other EU members chose to opt out from the refugee sharing scheme back then, denying to take them in, and this was also one of the main factors that violently triggered Brexit as lots of brits feared the idea of having to be obliged to take in unwanted people just because that's what Germany was suggesting to other members.

All it did was create dissident among EU members and help break up the EU.

It didn't specifically cause the issues you mention, but it sure caused some.
This seems a little pedantic. The contrast I'm trying to draw here is the steep drop off from the golden ages of ~2010 where you couldn't move for RSS symbols, aggregators, browsers that would suggest what to do with a RSS if they noticed one in the head, or loaded one directly.

Like most of HN, I've been using it daily for decades, but it's nowhere near as available as it used to be. Neither Firefox or Chrome seem to treat it as content worth looking at, but they used to. Look at the HN RSS feed in your browser for fun: https://news.ycombinator.com/rss

Anyone who has ever spoken to a small child knows they often “think” in the same way. They are likely to answer a who question with a name, sometimes laughably made up, because this is what they think they’re supposed to do and they lack the higher order reasoning to think it through. They also will continually forget things they already know when it suits their purpose. But nobody would say a toddler is not sentient.

In Europe, I would bet on centralized solutions because the underground power lines rarely fail. But anywhere with above-ground power delivery, having a battery per household makes a lot of sense.

You must be thinking that automotive will suffer from this, this leaves France and Germany on the table. Arguably, a lot of the sector is spread across the EU, but this spread is facilitated by the common market itself.

Since France has basically endless opportunities arising from its "carbon neutral" power generation, are you thinking of Germany?

Yeah and how much is this exactly? Even with perfect cycling infrastructure it's something like 12% of trips. Go to finland or sweden in the middle of the winter, observe the bike lanes and see for yourself how much they are used. Hint, they are largely empty, which comes as no surprise considering how obviously impractical and uncomfortable it is. And they cost a ton of money in maintenance.

A 22 year old van is already too old to be driven in many European cities.

For example, vans must be manufactured on 1 January 2007 or later to be used in Copenhagen. In July the date will become 1 January 2012 [1].

That doesn't yet apply to cars, and I think the truck counts as a car. It does apply in some cities in Germany, where the limit depends on the fuel -- petrol cars are often limited to 30 years (1992), diesel to 2007.

I expect these regulations to tighten as electric cars become widespread, and the various exemptions to become more stringent.
