I've wanted one of these for years but can't justify the cost. Pretty sure they used to be quite a bit cheaper too and price increased on later production runs. Maybe now the original model will go down in price on the used market.

EVs generate a bunch more carbon during their manufacturing process.

> As of 2022, Woodley's research showed that aggregate use of EVs below 55,749 miles may — in the U.S., at least — fail to generate any emissions benefit over gas-powered vehicles.

https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2023/08/when-buying-a...

Also, If we end up using coal to charge an electric vehicle, its carbon emissions are actually higher than that of can you an ICE vehicle.

Then if you have to replace the battery on your EV, that will reset some of that carbon offset.
A modern combined cycle power plant is significantly more efficient than a typical internal combustion engine, even when taking into account transmission losses. So, an EV is going to use less fossil fuel per mile, even if the power plant is fully fossil fuel based.

On top of that, per megawatt, building out new solar is cheaper than keeping existing coal plants running. The solar transition is largely constrained by the duck curve, which can be mitigated using v2g technology, so as time passes, the power sources get greener out of purely economic considerations.

As long as you're not throwing out brand new ICE vehicles and just replacing worn out ones, both the TCO and the total carbon footprint goes down when switching to EVs.
eBikes are limited to 25km/h on the motor I believe. But given how many people cycle in Amsterdam, I'd be surprised if you'd get much chance to actually get to that speed (on an eBike or legBike) very often.

But even so, the problem is not speed but momentum. A typical car+driver weighs at least 10x (actually, with modern cars it's more like 20x) a bike+rider. So at the same speed, a car will impart 10x the damage/force than a bicycle will. But cyclists are more careful as they don't have a protective metal box around them - if a cyclist collides with a pedestrian, the cyclist is almost certainly going down and getting injured, compared to a car, where the car occupant has zero consequences.

This makes me irate, in a way that’s hard to express.

They are not doing it wrong. What’s the threat model you’re saying people are not accounting for? eu-west-1 getting nuked?

“AWS” also isn’t a monolithic entity: for all intents and purposes AWS Backup is a separate vendor from AWS RDS, just with a unified billing and management pane.

I’d rather use that vendor, integrated with my AWS resources and managed with the same access controls, encryption, billing, etc that I use for everything else than ship it off to a random third party and maintain that connection.

Because the risk factor of multiple, isolated and separate AWS teams running different products with different infra having simultaneous large data loss incidents boils down to “nukes”.

So maybe people get irate in the same way as they might do with people who say stuff like “the cloud is a scam, why use it when you can host things on servers in a closet?”

> At $38,990, the base Model 3 sedan now costs $8,700 less than the average amount paid for a car or truck in the US. The starting price for a Model Y SUV is $3,700 below the average auto price of roughly $48,000, according to an analysis by Bloomberg Green. Tesla started cutting prices at the start of the year, twisting the screws on legacy automakers that were already struggling to make electric vehicles profitably.

> “Now the fun part of cost declines ... life after price parity,” said Sam Korus, an analyst at Ark Investment Management, which manages funds with approximately $1.27 billion in Tesla stock. “There is no reason why battery costs or EVs should halt their price declines at price parity. The product can continue to cost less, or it continues to sit in the same price segment and performance improves.”
You also need all powers of primes.
>And more EVs does not mean more power plants turning on per se. Most EVs are charged at night when power usage drops dramatically

Consider:

Scenario A: 1,000,000 EVs are put on the road.
Scenario B: 1,000,000 gas cars are put on the road.

Scenario A: 100% of zero carbon energy is consumed by existing demand. Remaining demand is met by fossil fuels including the energy needed to power the 1,000,000 EVs.
Scenario B: 100% of zero carbon energy is consumed by existing demand. Remaining demand is met by fossil fuels, not including the energy to power additional EVs.

In Scenario A, more energy is generated by fossil fuels by exactly the amount of energy used to charge the EVs. In the US, at no point in time, day or night, summer or winter does any zero carbon energy go to waste. So increasing demand means more fossil fuels being burned.
2 million / year is 5500 euros / day or about 100 infractions. On a city of 100k I'd say they missed a couple ;)
You can install Tailscale on a Chromebook[0], you can also install it in the linux environment, and you can even get an SSH console from a browser that uses WASM to spin up an ephemeral node[1].

I used to have open ports publicly, but have since closed everything down and set up tailscale. Got tired of having to manage a firewall, religiously keeping everything up to date, and script kiddies trying to get in.

Tailscale reduces management to near zero, or as close to zero as you can probably get. Even family members can use it, and without my help.

On Android I don't want Tailscale connected all the time, so I have Tasker auto-connect whenever I open an app that needs LAN access. It's pretty convenient, but I'd still say it's the most inconvenient part of my current setup.

> orders of magnitude more efficient

This is simply not true. It's more efficient, but a typical gasoline car gets around 20% efficiency (large diesel trucks can be significantly greater).

A modern, state of the art combined cycle natural gas fired power plant is only up to around 60% efficient. There's some additional loss for distribution, charging the EV battery, and in the electric motor, but it's not large and you're probably about 50% efficient overall.

Another win is that natural gas emits around 25% less CO2 than gasoline per unit of energy. And of course if you're powering your car with solar, then that's much better.

Anyway, thermal efficiency is on the order of 2.5x better, not "orders of magnitude".
For one, your car's speedometer will underreport actual driving speed, then there's also around 10% tolerance usually. So if you go "35"kmh, you're still below limit.
By conflating pro-palestine protests with pro-hamas you're no different from the anti-semitic assholes who use Israel's apartheid regime and their current genocide as a reason to hate all Jews.

It is in fact possible to say "Hamas is bad" while still believing Palestinians are humans with the same rights the UN brought in as a result of things like the holocaust. It's also possible to go "given the decades of colonial abuse by Israel the actions of Hamas are an entirely predictable outcome", much like the myriad terrorist attacks against English civilians by the IRA (that large swathes of America were 100% in support of).

Terrorism is objectively wrong, but it is a predictable outcome of abusive and dehumanizing colonial behavior.
The reasonable and prudent thing sounds like one of those myths to me. Like people saying they get out of a ticket on some technicality like a misspelling of the car brand. That doesnt happen unless you have a lawyer who is golf buddies with the judge.
30km/h makes sense on urban roads. If you need to go 15-30km to get to your grocery store you probably live a lifestyle where you plan that trip, use a freezer and so on. Unless that trip happens to be a motorway/freeway.

Fast motorways are incredibly safe because no pedestrians and energy absorbing crash barriers and traffic control/monitoring. There are exceptions e.g. where there is fog for example.

Fast roads in cities should ideally be designed so it is really hard for pedestrians to get on them except at the intersections.

Amsterdam is roughly 25km across, so less than an hour on surface streets (which this is about).

You’ve just compared a densely populated city with a sparsely populated state that’s several times the size of the country the aforementioned city is located in. And then started talking about highways.

Amsterdam won't have just 30 km/h roads. Those are just for the last mile.

On the other hand, in Amsterdam there's usually going to be some sort of grocery store somewhere in walking or biking distance; and a lot of train stations have grocery stores too, so you can just pick up some last minute shopping on the way back from work for instance.
Ask HN: Help me name my startup
Hi! I am launching a new eco-friendly and sustainable company and I need your help! Our mission is to reduce CO2 by cutting out unnecessary water from personal care and household products. We all have tap water at home, why don't we just cut shipping costs and pollution with a "Bring your own water" solution where you can use tap water to dissolve the products at home!

Our first product will be toothpaste and mouthwash tablets which are infinitely refillable and come in zero waste and zero plastic packaging.

However, we are in a dilemma about choosing a name that fits. We have the necessary domains with both options. These are the options:

1. Earthbound or Earthbound Society.
We like this name because it associates with sustainability and community. We can drop the society if only earthbound is better.

2. Lavabo.
We like this name because it means "washbasin" in almost all of European languages. Its also short and sweet.

Whats your opinion? Every single answer helps, also I can send you free samples once the first batch arrives if interested!
Besides this hang on until the sale. If this thing is a moneymaker, then the new company is going to need to keep you, and you’ll have even more leverage then.
It also happened in Portland in 2018, and it sucks, and makes me avoid Portland.

The speed limit is 20mph on most roads, no matter how many lanes of empty tarmac there is, what time of day it is, with how much visibility, how straight the road is, etc. It's a blind political statement with no regard to the actual roads and their circumstances.
One local government in Melbourne AU (very close to the city) announced they were doing this for a section of their roads (not including arterial roads). The head of the police force said it was ridiculous (so presumably they probably won't enforce it). Despite numerous studies showing the difference in safety for pedestrians, and the fact that most of these streets rarely go above that speed anyway, either due to traffic or physical constraints. But that's car culture for you.
I sympathize with your sentiment if not with your method. I've lived on an intersection of two large roads in Riga, LV and in the summer you couldn't sleep with the windows open (and with the windows closed you couldn't sleep either). Ditto on Overtoom in Amsterdam. Loud bikes in cities are extremely aggravating.
https://mastodon.social/explore Looks pretty algorithmic to me!
> To keep public transport running smoothly, in some places we are constructing separate lanes for public transport. Public transport is allowed to continue travelling at 50km/h on these lanes.

So even more incentive to use public transportation.
A lot are actually missed by not getting a good photo and probably other reasons. I've seen the flashing light around 4 to 5 times already, but have only ever gotten 1 ticket (where they changed the speed from 50 to 30 and immediately put up a camera - bastards.)
I probably missed that in the GP comment.

I don't think invoking a higher power necessarily makes it not a coup. To me, a coup is when you angle to relieve someone from office above you by any means. But reasonable people can disagree on that, I suppose.
A Tesla Model 3 has a lower carbon footprint than an Toyota Corolla after 13,500 miles per Argonne National Labs (vs a Harvard puff piece).

If those are the two choices, then I say "Earthbound", hands down. I don't see anything even remotely evocative or appealing about "Lavabo". Even if you see a large portion of your target market as people who speak the "half of European languages" where it's a real word, what positive connotations does "wash-basin" have? I mean, as an English speaker I wouldn't be particularly predisposed to buy something from a company named "Sink".

New Digital Competition Laws for Australia
The Australian government has agreed to new competition laws for digital platforms!

This is excellent news and will pave the way for fair and effective browser competition on all operating systems & allow Web Apps to compete on an equal footing with Native Apps.

The new laws will be based on the ACCC's recomendations in their Digital platform services inquiry - Interim report No. 5 which includes:

* The code of conduct for mobile OS services could require Designated Digital Platforms to allow third-party browser engines to be used on their mobile OS. This could allow third-party providers of browsers and web apps to compete on their merits.

* We also consider that the additional competition measures should include the ability to provide third-party providers of apps and services with reasonable and equivalent access to hardware, software and functionality through their mobile OS.

"Just" is doing an awful lot of work in that sentence.

Yes, moving from 12v to 48v reduces the current. That means you can have much smaller gauge wires, it means you lose a lot less power ( powerloss = (II)R ), it means you use a lot less copper and it means you save a lot of weight on wiring and connectors.

That is literally the point.

As for Amsterdam - it's a tiny city area wise, 30 km/h is mostly core. All highway limits stays the same.
Map they provided show 50 km/h outside of the very centre. I'm glad for them if that make a difference. As a side note I didn't enjoy Amsterdam public transport (again comparing with Montreal).

As a related fact in Montreal that stretch of the road https://maps.app.goo.gl/dgG8avYABUgbZ7BTA
was switched from 50km/h to 40km/h. As you can see it has fences on both sides, so it's hard to justify safety reasons here.
