Getting 50 extra miles in your garage or a 15 minute pitstop is a lot easier than charging an EV to full. Each 50 mile charge is about 2 gallon saved, and people like to save $10 every few days if possible.

PHEVs are lighter than full EVs, and incentivize the manufacturer to build a smaller car. (EVs are longer because the batteries take up lots of horizontal space). If Mazda's experiments pay off, then a wankel [1] engine PHEV will be space efficient and sustainable. Now not everyone needs to tow, but EVs are horrible at towing. A PHEV is an ideal long-term alternative to petrol for heavy-hauling use cases.

I firmly believe fully emissions-free vehicles will be the future. But the powergrid & charging infrastructure for 100% EV are at least 10-20 years away. Until then, PHEVs should be encouraged as a stopgap, especially for countries without easy ways to generate renewable energy.

There are a lot of professors out there, so "some" doesn't really mean much by itself.

Tenure allows lazy to be lazy, perhaps, but 'most' are not lazy by any reasonable standard. Tenure does allow tackling harder, more risky or non-normative research programs, which is probably a huge net positive
I think the A and the N nix this theory. It’s almost more like the Quake font designer saw this font, remembered the concept of hairlines reduced to nothing, but when they applied the concept they made different choices on which hairlines to apply it to.
Nice to see Cartman get some credit here. (ref: cartmanland 2001)
What you write applies nicely to most large corporations, especially the CEO caste and the incestuous board of directors community. These bogons tell the corporations the "run" to print money in the form of stock, which they issue to themselves. They reject any substantive performance-based compensation for their members. Someone is funding all those dark money campaigns. How could this setup possibly not cause corruption and incompetence?
> banned single serving plastic usage

This is not sensible and has a negligible impact on the environment - it almost always is worse, actually.

Kinda like how single use plastic bags are better for the environment than a single reusable cotton bag purely because reusable bags would need to be used for a decade to break even with 10,000 single use plastic bags, which almost never happens.
>So political change in russia is literally impossible

Precisely. It's basically impossible. There has to be at least be a generational change, or a severe economic / military loss if we are talking about this decade, but even that isn't a guarantee since the system is perpetuating itself with force, with economic self-interest to continue doing so. Isolating Russian citizens from western sources of information (in addition to what the Russian government is already doing by itself) is not only not helping, it's counterproductive, since rejection engenders a rejection in return, lowering the probability that an inflection point in the Russian history would result in anything western.

>countries change

Authoritarian countries change when their enforcement class relaxes and loses control. It takes decades for it to occur. If there is no relaxation, then no change occurs, as demonstrated by numerous countries, not only Russia. Right now the control and propaganda are very tight. "Wanting to make change" publicly is literally a life-threatening activity.
Sorry, I think comments like your root post make the internet a strictly worse place.

There is no one who has created anything for which there isn’t some detractor who has deemed the creator to have bad ideas or communicate in an unacceptable way. Literally every single HN post ever could have someone reply with “this person said an unrelated bad thing and therefore should be ignored”.

Comments like yours simply aren’t helpful and make HN worse. IMHO.
Even when the wife is driving?
Fair; though I didn't say it's impossible, just unlikely :)

Japanese words starting with "p" still exist, but they tend to be loanwords
(pokemon = pocket + monster) or onomatopoeia (pachinko = pachin + ko).
Thinking of it now, pokapoka is also a word, but again, an onomatopoeia.
