Err… Censored, or because it isn’t possible to deduce any information from it. It contains words and some of them are big words, the biggest words. And let me tell you I know some big words, but for the life of me, I can’t decipher much meaning from them.
Not touching AI, but for transport having 1 furnace will be more efficient than having 3000, so even in the US it would be a net positive.
As for China? They are installing more renewables than the rest of the world together atm. Sure, that can be said about any type of electricity generation idea, but they install more renewables than non-renewables too. I’d say they seem to be on target…
This is no seven graders perspective. This is an adult lamenting what he believes is the seven graders only interest in life.
An article about how tech has failed students to learn or not fulfilled its promise of instant knowledge and automation for all would be interesting. Which parts of learning does tech actually cater to and make it easier? What role should it have in a classroom and what are the keys to making it successful in learning?
None of that was part of this article, though.
Thanks. I’m saving that one for a rainy day when I need a pick-me-up.
Err… Not that i condone censorship (as long as it isn’t about hurting others), but for me the thought corridor and censorship situation in the US erodes the soap box this grand stand is made from. Add to this that the reason for the grand stand is because it is American companies being censored, rather than the fact that companies are being censored it further tarnish position of the ranter.
I don’t know, I feel like there are no right choices here. Regardless of your position it is open for attack, and as that, taking a position at all is admirable. I just wish it was more clear that free speech was the sole issue.
It must be a question of what “mass market” mean? I’ve been to sodium battery installations using CATL batteries and I’m rather far from any of the markets that are hot spots…
Aye, and it’s not limited to software development either. I’ve always seen generative AI as a way of augmenting knowledge, not replacing it.
Well, its basically why range is still an issue. Winter range, not summer range. Buuuut it’s still planable, so it’s not much of an issue. As the Nordics show. Oslo, Stockholm and Helsinki are all as far north as anchorage. Doesn’t stop the Norwegians from going almost all electric. 95%+ of all new cars are fully electric in Norway and pure ICE is at about 33% in Sweden. Personally I prefer electric in the cold.
Most of all jobs. If it wasn’t for that, I’d move back.
However, I agree with the writer, apartments are the easiest living space to afford. Limiting apartment building limits the choices of those that have little money. I’m not saying the cheapest, since the value of properties tend to increase, but the one requiring the least money.
That being said, the ones complaining about new apartments are mostly people living in other apartments… At least here.
As for city vs rural… That’s something of an age question, as well.
In theory. In theory some can rent a car with property XYZ. And for “sometimes but often enough” long trips those rental charges adds up fast.
While I agree in general, the decline of gas stations started long before now. The first reports i can find about the rapidly declining number of gas stations are from the later part of the -00s. Back then it was because cars had better mileage, but it also highlights that petrol stations don’t go bust because 100% of customers disappear. They go bust because 100% of the profits disappear and if the profit margin is only a few percent, that doesn’t necessarily take much at all.
There are other factors as well. When a commodity goes from a high volume, low margin commodity to a high value necessity, prices will start to come up.
I also wonder what happens further up the production chain. It isn’t just cars that are affected, transportation is too. The big push right now is for electrified heavy road transport. And if dents are made in that sector, the real high volume fuel, effects will be seen in everything from transportation to agriculture.
As for car parts, SAAB went bust in 2008 and there are still plenty of those around. However, that was before the digital revolution, so they are easier (not easy) DIY cars. Finding dealer specific experts with required skills and software is harder for newer cars.
Refinery shut down has already started in Europe^^, and those left are trying to find alternative markets.
I’m across the border from you, but i mostly use my card to charge. It’s rare, I can think of one bigger provider requiring their own app, but it doesn’t differ one bit from the petrol companies loyalty programs: “become a member and save X cents/liter and ger your own credit card”…
That’s not limited to Hyundai, though. I’ve had similar experiences with VW. So far Volvo’s been the best, but that might have been special interest.
So they want to drop feed the new battery tech before they want to use solid state. Sorry, but the only reason Tesla still has some time is because CATL doesn’t have production capacity to export enough batteries.
I agree that we first need to reduce and reuse, but claiming that mining for lithium in and of itself upsets the benefits isn’t fair either. It’s not like oil extraction and transportation is somehow without environmental consequences, for animals and for humans. Those should not be ignored either!
Yes, we need strong protection for vital habitats, but that mean we need to use the last intrusive first, not that we shouldn’t. Because continuing using diesel in our cities will poison everyone that lives there as well as the rest of the planet!
At the end of the day the environment which was saved due to not going for the lithium might die anyway because of the extra heat in the slightly longer perspective…
That’s fine. Drive your Lincoln all 50 miles/year you drive that car:). That’s a non-issue in the grand scheme of things. Then you drive your electric to and from work and all other boring trips, or trips where you need a car you are certain not to break down. I hope you enjoy your fabulous car😊
“shouldn’t exist”? More like, “we don’t know how they are formed (yet)”.
I guess the issue would be that there shouldn’t have been enough time to form two black holes that large and have them meet by collisions. So either black holes are more common than thought, or there are other ways for them to form.
So, without the shift in fuel the emissions would be 2% higher? Why is that not a good thing?
Yes, we want total emissions lower, but without the efuel emissions would have been even higher.
