Not to say that modern IC engines are any sort of "simple"...but there appear to be a lot more high-precision moving parts, under load, in their clever new crankshaft assembly. (Vs. traditional 4-cycle IC engines.)

Obviously, Porche's target market isn't likely to care about that.

But for possible down-market uses of this technology - are there any mechanical engineers in the house, to comment?
Others have described the how part if you do need truly zero downtime deployments, but I think it's worth pointing out that for most organisations, and most migrations, the amount of downtime due to a db migration is virtually indistinguishable from zero, particularly if you have a regional audience, and can aim for "quiet" hours to perform deployments.

> in my experience in the US, charging away from home is far more expensive

We have lots of free charging points in the UK. Or at least they do around me.

> Your statement about your cost comparison doesn't mention maintenance, which is a significant savings. No oil changes, no rusted exhaust pipes, no spark plugs, etc. Over the life of the car, that's tens of thousands of dollars unspent.

In my experience the maintenance costs is usually more tyres, suspension, breaks, and other similar things that would equally need to be maintained on EVs.

Oil changes and spark plugs are cheap. Never had an issue with my exhaust pipe but I’m sure that’s a thing. Have had clutches burn out but that’s always been more specific to manual shifts rather than ICEs. Cam belts is definitely one big ICE consumable that EVs wouldn’t require though.

I’m sure EVs will have their own specific areas of maintenance as well, but I’ll admit I haven’t done much research in that specific area.

> People build bonds in person in a different way than online. I can give reasons why that helps with work, but also it’s nice to be around humans?

Completely agree on people building bonds in person, hard disagree that you need people in the office most of the time for it.

My employer went full onboard with allowing people to choose if they want to work from home or in an office, we're very distributed (offices in many European cities, in the USA, Japan, etc.) with thousands of employees, having 1-2 events a year where we gather together has already been enough to develop bonds that we maintain remotely.

I live in a city with amazing public transportation but I would not choose to commute again for work in my life, I prefer working from home and doing the odd trip to the office when I feel like it, it's enough to personally connect with people while also avoiding a lot of the pitfalls of office life.
That would be fine for second car. I need form time to time visit family that is about 270km one way mosty on a highway

The 500km mark is calculated in ideal conditions, flat street at 60km/h or something like that in more realistic highway conditions it's about 300km

That's why plugins have so much sense even when they cost about the same that EV would. I can drive fully electric on everyday short distances (my car is rated for 33km of electric range, but I'm able to squeeze about 40 by careful eco driving)
That usually covers my city driving and at the same time I have 700-1000km backup of ICE/hybrid range

In my observation hybrid approach have about 30% better fuel efficiency than pure petrol.

I agree that having 22kW charger nearby that is affordable could solve all of that. But for many people that is not the case and if so they are so expensive.

In my case petrol costs me about $0.12/km and electric from supercharger would be $0.14/km (assuming 19kW/100km). Why would I want to switch to more expensive car to pay more per driven distance?

Of course everything changes when you have solar installation and you have basically free electricity (of course I omit here installation cost that would make if free after about 10years or so) then driving basically everyday for free and paying for fast charging few times a year when doing very long distance trip makes is fine.

But again, not everyone can have solar installation.

I have high hopes for new sodium batteries, give them 2 more generations and we could afford ev cars with 1000km of range in cars less expensive than ice and that would be very compelling.

> Apples customer demand GPU power for Image and Video editing, for the retina display and they pay a big price for these chips.

I know “too pricey” has been a telling point for Mac forum threads since the turn of the century but you really should check the numbers before saying things like this. The M series chips meant Apple had a multiyear period of being notably cheaper because an integrated chip saves money - the correct angle for criticism is limited customization options.

Your pricing for the Mac Studio is high by 50% but also misses the point: that’s not competing with gaming rigs or home PCs (the $600 Mac Mini is that market) while the Mac Studio is aimed at people who need expansion options like video editors - note how it had hardware acceleration for the ProRes codec they use, support for 8 displays, double or triple the Thunderbolt and USB ports, etc.? You’re not buying that to play Call of Duty, you’re buying it to connect 8K cameras. The Mac Pro is even more of a specialist design with the PCI-X slots.

My take.

The current sense of a plastic waste crisis is that a certain fraction of plastic gets chucked outside and will find its way to the ocean where it will be mechanically broken down in harmful ‘microplastic’ and ‘nanoplastic’ particles. No form of recycling will work if people don’t use the bin.

If, in the other hand, people throw the plastic in the trash bin it will be buried and spend a long time (100-10,000 years?) underground and will at least somewhat decompose. Any environmental threat is kicked far into the future.

The trouble with chemical recycling is that it produces the kind of chemicals that come out of an oil refinery/petrochemical complex (which are used to make plastics) and those are all worth about 50 cents a pound.

My friend bought an android phone from AT&T. Recently she unlocked it, and she was able to use other sim cards, but the phone was still branded with the AT&T logo and loaded with its software. The phone can’t make any over the air updates because it relies in AT&T to fetch carrier specific updates… which fails when she switches providers.

I’m torn because it’s either flash unofficial firmware from the internet or live without security updates until she buys a new phone, both of these undesirable from a security perspective. The phone was just released 4 years ago and it is in good shape; but all that flies out the window because of this and related stupid practices.

I’m not sure if that is also addressed.
Two good support resources are insurance and investment. You may not be around to help your son grow up and at some point he'll have lived longer than you. Insurance, both medical and life insurance as well as long term care, could help a lot when/if you're not around. A source of income is needed to pay for the insurance and the necessities of life, so starting a trust with some investments to help fund your sons later life could give him a great advantage.

Even 2035 is not happening. Politically, parties that are not enthusiastic about climate change mitigation are gaining ground in Europe. A lot of western car companies are scaling back their ev targets, and announcing more ICE car research (like this article we are discussing). Those bans will keep getting postponed/cancelled the closer they come.
Among other things, now you have to maintain a set of dummy targets. If you have a variable (possibly generated) that is basically

A_MESS_OF_FILES := foo bar zot

You now have to create dummy targets for bar, baz, and zot and not forget to add them. Or maybe break it into

MAIN_FILE := foo
SUBORDINATE_FILES := bar zot

foo: baz
sudo make me a foo

Is it just the nature of singleton entities such as government agencies?

When NASA was first spun up in the late 1950s, there were no career NASA people. The people were hired from private industry. Nobody had heard of it, and it had no track record, so people probably did not join it for the prestige.

These days I feel like there is a lot of prestige associated with working for NASA. Everyday people think you are a genius for working there.

There are likely a lot of clout chasing bureaucrat types gumming up the works these days. And there is no competitor currently with the potential for a government money hose.

US government should probably have at least two competing space agencies, preferably more.

Also the field of software engineering has brain drained physical sciences and engineering for the last several decades. If you glance at salaries before choosing a major you are probably not going to do many of the disciplines related to rocketry.
Yes, they also use that sniffer wand over the keyboard. And some airports use dogs. Some rely on Xray and similar scans.

Not every airport does exactly the same thing. Some do multiple things. I don't think it was even implied that all airports are exactly the same. My point was about density of battery and explosive material, and not about these "other ways."

For that matter, the xrays and other visualization scans also show the density similarities between batteries and explosives. And that density was the entirety of my point.
Serious question: What to make of "crazy" folk's research?
Greg J Marchand, MD has co-authored Systematic review and meta-analysis of vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery vs laparoscopic hysterectomy https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10910317/.

I have no way to tell if there are any problems with the methodology, conclusions, etc. I know nothing about the topic or how to assess sciency stuff.

BUT, I can say that based on his response to a Kamala Harris tweet that women are not receiving the care they need and deserve, in which he called the VP a "lying piece of sh!t", that I question his research. (https://bsky.app/profile/mollyknight.bsky.social/post/3l4nckbgsly2g).

So, serious question: Should the MD's research be taken seriously based on his socials, this response in particular, his reviews, etc.?

> jump to another carrier and abandon the one with the finance plan. What’s the recourse for the carrier?

Subprime auto lenders use “electronic devices to remotely shut down vehicles” [1].

Carriers could install remote management profiles on phones financed for subprime borrowers. If a borrower defaults, the loan is sold to a collector and phone erased and put in lost mode.

It isn’t pleasant. But neither is being locked into a phone plan you don’t want.

[1] https://www.bostonglobe.com/business/2017/03/14/car-lenders-...
That’s how it should work. My understanding is that the carriers (probably correctly) assume that there are more people who will buy a cool phone if they don’t think about it as a short term loan – and then keep paying the same price after the phone is paid off. If they had to say “$900 in 24 payments of $50” more people would decide they don’t need the “Pro” model and the carriers would be forced to compete with the banks on financing terms.
I like to compare this to SSD vs HDD.
Why even invest in HDD development when SSDs are so much better?

Right now almost all consumers use SSDs because they are affordable for space most people need.

And I remember how we were transitioning where I bought 128gb drive for cost of 4TB HDD to have super snappy system and I had to manage system much more to not burn writes too quickly (ram drives for logs and temp etc)

That where I believe we are right now with EVs. But they are more affordable and have better range every year.

But to go further with this comparison we still develop new generations of HDDs even after all that time, even when everyone believe that at some point in the future we will abandon that technology completely
I appreciate this theory, but even from the top 4 management consultant firms I've found that many consultants I've met have fairly surface level understanding of things.

Yes you often here this with nuclear advocates. Saying that grid scale battery storage is a pipe dream.

The real defining fact about solar and battery storage is that it is very amenable to mass production and scaling. Small modular components that can be produced in a factory and require minimal maintenance.

One way of looking at it is how you assess yourself in things and take pride in or feel regret about that.

For example, you wrote this comment. It is a well written comment. You likely have some belief roughly along the lines of "I write reasonably well". You have probably received feedback along those lines throughout life, and that reinforces that belief. This is perhaps mildly pleasing or at least seems correct.

Now suppose instead that whenever you wrote things people replied:

"Huh?"

"What? This makes no sense"

"Good god what led you to think that? That's so stupid!"

And so on. And you even reread some of your own writings that you thought were good and they seem to strike you as not good. The view that your writing is not good comes to strike you as correct. You aim to improve but continue to receive negative feedback. The view that you are genuinely not good at writing seems to be correct and you come to believe you cannot ever be good at writing.

That would be negative self worth. Does this example line up at all with any internal thought processed you have? Are you pleased by praise or hurt by criticism? Even to the level of thinking the judgements are correct or incorrect.

(To be clear you are good at writing)

> but clearly that's not necessary

You are both wrong and contradicting yourself. If it isn't necessary, then complaining about the tools is moot since as you wrote yourself, it's not necessary.

But, if you design a portable consumer device and you know to what tolerance you need a battery to be adhered to the case to make it not come loose, you know what pressure, movement, adhesive etc. are needed to make that happen for the form factor the battery is going to fit in. You know who doesn't know that? Pretty much everyone who isn't an engineer, and for most people who are an engineer, they might know that these are parameters that exist, but they aren't going to know every variation for every device ever produced. So now that nonsense about it being "clearly" is not so clear anymore.

Engineering things to be safe and reliable is pretty difficult. Add in batteries and it's suddenly one or more orders of magnitudes more difficult. That much is definitely clear, because when you cut corners, just guess or think to yourself "it is just a battery and some adhesive, how hard can this be" you get phones self-igniting on airplanes.

If we take your full line as a quote:

> It's like they just copy-pasted their production line processes, but clearly that's not necessary.

Do you really think there are a bunch of people using manual hand tools mass producing every aspect of a phone? Sure, there might be a bunch of steps where manual labour was effective and efficient, but it's not like you show up at the factory with your suitcase of tools and go to work at your desk.

What they reproduced is the parameters. And that is exactly what you want. A repaired product should be as close to a freshly manufactured product as possible if you're going to be liable for it.

Call me unempathetic, but how would this be any different in a non-digital era? You’ll still have a market (albeit significantly smaller, IE: lets say a small locale or village). But you could have easily said the same thing in a non-digital age, with just more rudimentary metrics and a market that is a community that either values or doesn’t value your work. Much like the proverbial school playground (which could also be analogous to a market).

What I love about these types of articles is it reminds me how fortunate I am to live in the wealthiest and most comfortable time Earth has ever seen and it’s very likely to get better. These types of existential panics aren’t possible when you’re sustenance farming as nearly every human that has existed was forced by nature to endure until a painful, horrifying death from disease or illness perished them.

In order to access our hyper modern comfort you’re only asked to contribute something frivolous like clocking in at a record store or writing something that will entertain some people as they enjoy their morning tea. That we increasingly measure contribution, although terrifying in many ways, is also a more just way to compensate contributions. This article seems to yearn for a more political system that would allow her to indulge her creative passion at her whimsy without accountability to the reality of if anyone wants those outputs. A very self serving system indeed.

But again what great fortune to be alive today in a wealthy western political zone. To be able to entertain this fantasy.
