I am not sure what's your point? There's far less EVs now, and a negligible percentage of them are over 10 years and badly maintained. Also, the nature of fires is still very different.

With gasoline you can put it off using water, while for EVs water will actually make the fire worse and you'll need special compounds to turn it off.
Snow tires are great but they really don't help with ice. The only reliable ice traction in my experience are tire chains or studs.

Stop making a 25/7, 99.99% SLA homelab. Nobody needs HA in a homelab anyway. FO - sure, why not, especially if you have a spare hardware and spare money for the electricity.

Overall, a NAS/DAS/SAN with a RAID5/6/10 is more than enough to serve a multiple servers with the loads. You need a proper backup sooner than a HA storage. RAID10 on 4 HDDs was enough in 2012 for almost everything. RAID1 from 2 SSDs, even TLC/QLC/xLC - would be enough in 2022/2023 for almost everything, while not quite costly. Pair it with a RAID1 from a 2 4TB+ HDDs and you covered 99% of needs.

Forget Ceph and any other vSAN-like/distributed FS - they are for work, not for hosting your 3 Docker containers.
I remember a few years ago reading a article that promised a liquid 'fuel' that would recharge batteries. The idea being that you would pull into a gas station and expel your uncharged liquid and refill with charged liquid.

The liquid stuff might be a pipe dream, but I think the goal should be for electric cars to have a 'instant' fill up option shortly. Having a network of such stations greatly aleviates issues of trying to squeeze every last watt hour out of every battery and lets range anxiety be less important. I dont really care as much if my car only gets 200 miles range if I can fill up in 2 minutes at any existing gas station.

Filling up of course can mean anything from the liquid fuel meme idea above to a fast battery-swap to some megawatt based 'super fast' charger. It really doesnt matter

I will note that they do have multiple, redundant CPUs... they just aren't all active at once.

> Just like Curiosity, Perseverance has two main computers, or “brains”: One is active at any given time, while the other serves as a backup. Both use radiation-hardened RAD750 computers, and together, they’re referred to as Rover Compute Element A and B.

> Another RAD750 serves as a third “brain,” on Perseverance. Called the Vision Compute Element, it is equipped with a special card for analyzing images. This card has a Virtex-5 field programmable gate array (FPGA) and is the driving force behind Terrain-Relative Navigation and the Lander Vision System, which analyzes images of the landing site during descent and compares them to an onboard map to determine the rover’s position relative to the ground.

That "Virtex-5 FPGA" is an interesting one too...

The really big, splashy papers like the Stanford Prison Experiment and Milgram are partly well-known because of what bad science they are.

They're also 50 years old.

If that's your idea of what most of psychology is like, then I imagine you think 90% physics is all about things like phlogiston.

Just because there are some very well-known experiments that were very poorly conceived and conducted does not say anything about the field as a whole.

As someone who works in tech for a psychology department, I can tell you from a decade's experience that a) the people there care very deeply about performing good science, including replicating results, pre-registering papers, and doing good statistics (not p-hacking), b) there's a lot of psychological research that's decidedly unsexy, very much about things like proving what we already intuitively know to be true or sussing out small nuances between X and Y, and c) while they teach about Milgram and his ilk, it's almost entirely in a "What Not To Do" type of way.

Generally speaking the type of nickel Indonesia produces is not suitable for EV batteries. From my understanding they mainly have laterite deposits which do not produce class-1 nickel, which is the purity required for most EV batteries. For that you're generally looking for nickel sulphide deposits.
Quick google search mostly shows low effort articles citing one paper from 2021. Here’s to hoping, but manufacturing has always been the main obstacle in the path to any graphene based technology.
Tesla was incorporated in 2003 after years of engineering research and experimentation. Musk first got involved in 2004 by becoming the largest shareholder. He became CEO in 2008 and in 2009 he settled a lawsuit that allowed him to be legally called a "cofounder" of the company and has liberally used the title ever since
As always with the EV industry the non-Tesla entities are following such a weird strategy it almost seems like fraud.

GM sells two EVs, one that spontaneously combusts (bolt) and one that is the least efficient EV sold (hummer).

How about they fix their efficiency and reliability before trying to make a different battery chemistry work.

Likewise the new EV credit prioritizes inefficient vehicles by having a higher limit for large suvs and trucks.

We should just stick to technology that works, and focus on efficiency and scaling. Any new chemistry will still be a science experiment in 2030 (when allegedly gas vehicles will stop being produced)

That being said, it really sucks the hypocrisy of sport business now, world cup, F1, Olympics, they are all claiming that sport help all the world to gather in peace and being good to humanity, when in reality it is like everyone shut up to our dictature to ensure we can make the most possible money by having the smoothest contradiction possible.

If it would help them get more money from advisers, they would not care having someone executing in backstage...
You're more right than wrong in that thinking. Usually land area correlates well to mineral wealth. But without a lot of knowledge of the situation, Indonesia's islands probably exist because of volcanism and plate tectonics and that makes a difference in having unusual geology.
I feel like this should be titled “why NASA should not go to Mars.” I would be astounded if SpaceX makes it there within 5 years of their original timeline, but even more astounded if they don’t have a crew within 10 years. I don’t see procrastinating with bone density studies etc. either - they treat it as a commercial venture, not an exercise in basic research.
There isn't any scientific controversy about climate change. There is made-up politically motivated obfuscation in service of certain industries, which is controversial.

"Intrigued by Garfield's reaction, Roosevelt finished reading the novel and invited the author to the White House during the first week in April. Although he proceeded to disparage the socialist diatribe tacked on to the conclusion, Roosevelt assured Sinclair that "all this has nothing to do with the fact that the specific evils you point out shall, if their existence be proved, and if I have power, be eradicated." By the time Sinclair arrived for lunch on April 4, a Department of Agriculture investigator was en route to the stockyards with an order from the White House to evaluate the novelist's charges. Sending a representative of the very agency that had failed properly to inspect the plants, Sinclair objected, "was like asking a burglar to determine his own guilt." His objections prompted Roosevelt to dispatch two additional investigators with no official ties to the department. He chose two well-respected men: Commissioner of Labor Charles P. Neill and Assistant Secretary of the Treasury James Bronson Reynolds."

Sure I can elaborate.

I'm not saying to disrespect boundaries. I'm saying "norms" are different for each person. What we call "personality" could be described as an accumulation of errors in communicating norms resulting in some amount of uniqueness.

There's no choice but to use your intuition. Being "distracted or careless" and defaulting to a set of rules would probably offend most people and make them lose trust. The best conversations and fastest friendships I've ever had got started by skipping the small talk and making a correct guess about their interests or opinions. This is unsettling for some because it's remarkably close to prejudice, but it's just how people are.
> edit: I'm aware of the statistics about gasoline vehicle fires, guys.

It doesn't matter. You'll be lectured none the less.

I had someone ask me about electric vehicle fires just before the holiday. She is worried because her son has a preorder deposit on a Tesla Cybertruck. I told her they were safe; fires are unlikely, and ICE cars burn too. That won't stop the worry; you can't tell people anything.

Bottom line is people believe they're dangerous. I knew that would happen and said so: Telsa et al. needed to do the necessary education before the inevitable headlines hit. They didn't, so here we are. Got modded into the dirt for predicting this.

Go ahead, smash that down button. You can't tell people anything.

Might that be related to the fact that the average ICE vehicle is much older than the average EV? What if you compared ICE vehicles of similar age and price to EVs? Do late-model ICE Mercedes catch fire as often as Teslas, for example?

Technology is inversely proportional to resources. If we can't get to Mars yet, that just means our technology isn't there. We need to work on that.

Just like working a few days at a job can afford may people a magical global communications device. That's technology so advanced it requires little resources to obtain. Mars can be the same, our tech just isn't there yet.
Two questions: severity of fire and ease of putting out. Are those measured as well? Because, yeah, actually 100% of gas cars catch fire, given that there is active combustion in the engine. 'Catching fire' (i.e., the fire escaping from the gas engine) is a common cause of breakdown for a gas car, but the fire is easy to put out. Electric battery fires are more difficult from my understanding.

Moreover, in the data you cited, of the nine recalls listed, only 1/9 is caused by a part of the gasoline system, and 8/9 are caused by batteries. Thus, all the fires in gas cars that are cited here are caused by the electrical components, which are scaled up in EVs.
I think it's interesting that Rust is so rarely used among this list of security related projects.

> But in the long term, any centralization of systems such as the EU, or NATO, is dangerous. Because if you consider that everything in the world is a system, and all systems have flaws, then global systems have global flaws and will be exploited on a global level.

I mean things weren't exactly great before the EU and NATO tied Europe together - 10s of millions killed in two world wars in just 30 years.

> We peasants just don't have the resources to monitor how the plutocrats of the world exploit the world's systems to remain in power over us.

This is an understandable concern but on their own small countries struggle to effectively regulate large multinational corporations with revenues comparable to a country's GDP. I fear our only real hope of keeping the plutocrats in check is to band together.

[deleted]>>>> This tradeoff seems common in fringe libertarian groups. There's always one guy in the group who wants to overthrow the government solely to be able to marry his cousins, and the larger group accepts it because they're not in a position to turn down his assistance.

theskepticalheretic>>> Yeah but that's one hell of a faustian bargain. It wouldn't be too difficult to get a new developer up to speed, or find an equally talented developer who isn't batshit crazy. His craziness drives people away from any project he works on.

Hodldown>> I think you are wrong, I think bitcoin has been looking for real programmers for years but this poor quality of losers, weirdos and vrml dropouts is the best that showed up. I think this is the highest quality a project like this gets.

theskepticalheretic> Well the confounding factor would probably be that experienced high quality programmers have some historical understanding of distributed systems.

> Landing on Mars with existing technology would be a destructive, wasteful stunt whose only legacy would be to ruin the greatest natural history experiment in the Solar System. It would no more open a new era of spaceflight than a Phoenician sailor crossing the Atlantic in 500 B.C. would have opened up the New World. And it wouldn’t even be that much fun.

Without going full "We choose to go to the Moon", I disagree with these points. It would be fun. It would open a new era of spaceflight. It is no more destructive or wasteful than most anything else humanity decides to put resources into.

Mars is a whetstone against which humanity sharpens itself against.
As a Christian, I find Elon to be an immoral man, but I still think that he is an objectively successful entrepreneur and an engineer who's extremely skilled in execution. Why does his viewpoint on things irrelevant to business and engineering matter in this discussion?
SPE is still written about uncritically in psychology textbooks. If there are any criticisms, they're ethical criticisms rather than the fact that SPE was scientifically garbage. If physics textbooks still spoke uncritically about phlogiston theory, you'd have a point.
Purification Rundown
I store my credentials in plain text files on an encrypted disk image, and I back them up onto an ironkey. Secure and easy to use? Seems so! But it's not especially easy to access on multiple devices, and that's by design. As a rule I don't want my personal data living on hardware which belongs to my employer, and phones are too easily lost or stolen. For everything else, there's scp or thumb drives.

Online password managers never made much sense to me; one by one, they eventually all get hacked. And why not? A centralized service storing thousands of people's credentials makes a great big juicy target. Their security is undoubtedly better than mine, but my personal laptop is not likely to be worth anyone's time.

For the same reason, I don't let browsers store passwords either.

They do help even on ice compared to all seasons or summer tires: https://youtu.be/GlYEMH10Z4s?t=39. Studs definitely are better on ice, but cause issues on dry pavement and may be illegal to use depending on the state and time of year.
They are still very difficult to put out. I've been to several vehicle fires (I'm on the volunteer fire department here) and they burn very thoroughly and quickly and hot. And if the magnesium catches on fire you can't use water on it.
U.S. Inflation: How Much Have Prices Increased?
The wisdom of crowds is a well known principle, used in engineering to overcome something that is extremely difficult to measure (noisy data for instance), considering only one single measurement would be very dangerous, since it might be extremely imprecise.

A hundred years ago, there were service stations that would swap out your electric car or truck's battery in a couple minutes so you could keep driving without recharging. Essential at the time because the range was far lower than today. Those companies lasted for about two decades. Eventually the price/performance of gas vehicles won out, and we know the story from there.

I think it's a balancing act between labeling and mislabeling. Some things are so hard to name that naming them actually hurts. Also sometimes you don't want to pin down what it actually is; naming restricts the concept.

I was a fan of Musk until only recently with the dealings with Twitter. Right off the bat treating peoples livelihoods as a joke was wrong and cruel. This isn't some sensationalized political story, he literally started off the acquisition carrying a sink into the Twitter HQ and thought it was hilarious.

But I still totally agree, arguments to downplay his role in Tesla are totally illogical. Founder or whatever, he took control of a company that was totally irrelevant and led it to 1+ million vehicle per year, 10s of billion revenue, and pretty undeniably caused a huge momentum shift in the industry.
Ancient Brew Has Retro Appeal in South Korea
Our models and explanations of the world are dependent on our belief system and the framework through which we look at. For example, a marxist's explanation of the economic system is very different from that of a neo-liberal. The two would not even agree on an ontology, yet alone the mechanism.

Graeber was a self-proclaimed anarachist. His books indeed have a different description of reality than the orthodox description of reality. If you don't agree with his description, then it will indeed look outlandish - the same way an atheist's and religious person's descriptions sound outlandish to each other. If you do agree with his descriptions, or at least that there are many different conceptions of the world, then his views are more reasonable.

Harari is not making scholarly arguments at all, so we cant even say much about his books.
