You can install a NEMA 14-30 outlet on that spare circuit and use the portable charger that comes with the car. You'll get 24A continuous output so you can charge at almost 6kW. If you move, take the portable charger and your're only out the cost of the plug and a few feet of wire.

I'm only on a 40A circuit (dedicated wall charger) and can charge from empty overnight. Unless you have a shitoad of EVs all running 300 miles every day, you'll be just fine.

What you should be asking is who believes this is a pay once? Now it doesn't work like that. You'll be asked to pay again even if they have to disguise it as something new

Watch.

I watched the live coverage, I was watching and reading a number of different sources for information, and I've never been so disappointed in space travel coverage in my life. The live coverage was one animation after the other the same old, whatever. The commentators were good at commenting, but they had very little offer. Experts came on to talk about how great it was. Technical details even at a superficially technical level, nope. We used to get a lot better than this in the early Apollo and the Gemini launches. There. You'd get some talk about some of the details. You'd hear a lot more than oh. This is so very hard. I was totally and completely underwhelmed by NASA's coverage and by the official so-called outlets. Boring

You missed. My theology is in no way a prosperity theology. I believe in Christ crucified. You just hate Conservativism, the philosophy of limited government, individual liberty, and constitutional law, among other distinctives. Your other mistakes aren't important in this discussion, if at all.

Instead of sending these people to jail, we should be waking up and realizing that we don't take data security seriously. There is no reason for Power School to store that much information about people, and ignoring that volume of information, why wasn't it encrypted with multiple layers of protection, and kill switches? The same goes for countless companies, you can't just store information, you need to protect it, and protection means it's unusable to anyone but the intended party.

It's not even enough to use AES-256-GCM, you need to layer the encryption, you need multiple systems to preform deep level verification, chains of trust, signing, identity validation, GEO locks, and keep that shit tighter then a nuns nasty. This careless, care free, it's someone else's problem, has to stop!

It's time for governments to step up and stop treating cybersecurity like it's the 1980s. We need hard rules, restrictions and regulations that make data so unapproachable and secure, you don't want to store even 1 extra bit that you don't need to.

I loved my Zip drive, I don't remember when or where I brought it, but it was AWESOME. I still have it, without disks, it's purple, I think, it might be blue purple, so some might call it blue, and it uses FireWire, which is why "working" is in quotes. I had disks for it, a nice stack of them, but I don't know where they are, and I might have thrown them out.

My computer had a Zip drive and a CDRW drive, that only worked with Sony CDRW+ disk in the yellow plastic cases, any other disk wouldn't burn, and I never knew why. It could read any CD, but could only burn to those specific yellow cases disks, which I could buy in the 100s, so it didn't really matter.

For context, I was in grade 8 in the year 2000, and I was using the good old Zip drive back then. In high-school, I used to carry it in my backpack since the computers were locked down and didn't let you insert USB keys, so I would often wire it up to transfer files around. It was reasonably fast back then, in comparison to everything else, I used it into college and university, with the same disk stack. I started college in 2006, university in 2009, probably stopped using it as a daily driver in 2015, only because it made no sense, USB was fast enough that was that. I loved that drive.

BTW, none are so selfish as those who expect others also to pay for their largesse.

If you can afford an EV, you have a credit card.

Garaged or not, batteries still need to be preconditioned before fast charging at high kW rates.

And the numbers don't work out for relying solely on fast charging anyway. DC fast charging is not cheaper than gas even at current prices in my neck of the woods if you have a reasonabe (35-40mpg) car. Especially in very cold weather. I've run the numbers for my current electric rates. Add to that, fast charging costs are rising faster than gas prices. Given that my state screws us over for registration on an EV and insurance is higher, the cost equation is even worse if you rely on DC fast charging.

However... I recently took a 130 mile trip charging exclusively from home and, with the data from the trip, calculated that I would have to get 163 MPG on an ICE car to match the costs at current gas prices and electricity rates. If you charge at home, it's still cheaper. If you have to fast charge, it's questionable at best.

The big question now is how long until the Feds start adding a "fuel tax" to fast chargers?

Actually, I recognize government, to in the US, as recently becoming downstream of culture. This is a fundamental problem, but mostly due to the culture making a concerted effort (for at least 70 years) to reshape government. You're all pretty observant. You see it also.

Always insightful.

"if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public"

And they expose their true selves. Culture should not, I propose, be charged with 'delivering economic growth and security'.

Make that 'economic opportunity', and I'm in.

Security being economic security, in this context, also should not be the role of culture, which is more often named the State. And the State delivers nothing it does not first take from the People.

Give the People the library to pursue their own self interests. Watch as economic growth ensues. You want economic security? Get the State out of the way.

Impressive.

Something can be 'technically superior' but still not the 'best' solution, because 'solution' includes a lot of factors beyond 'technological superiority.'

First to market is a crapshoot; sometimes it makes you the baseline, and sometimes it just gives your competition free market research. This is where Apple lived for a long time; let Microsoft or whoever do something, then do it better.

This is how my mother consumes âoenewsâ now.
She told me everything is just so negative these daysâ¦
Ya think? I wonder why?

Voted republican her whole life.

I also work as the head of a technology company, not the CTO, but high enough I could offline the company and bankrupt it tonight. I've worked here for 10+ years, and we've grown from three people to eighteen, and I know that's a hilariously small number still for the size of our company.

Here's my honest rules for when to hire:

1. Is anyone taxed continuously above 85%?
2. Do we have single points of critical failure?
3. Do we have critical infrastructure not covered with a backup person?
4. If someone leaves for vacation, is the company standing still?
5. If a client demands support on a weekend, can someone help?
6. Can someone reach an expert in their team at the company reliably?

If at any point I feel there is a gap that could introduce a lack of trust, support, or safety, we hire. If I feel that the infrastructure is at risk, we hire. Importantly, we never hire, just to hire, you need a role to go into, and you need responsibilities you'll manage. No one gets hired to sit on their ass, and no one gets hired just because head counts look good.

Just in case you're wondering if I could actually offline the company tonight no, I wrote all of our DevOps, and CI/CD tooling from scratch. If Azure went offline tonight, it would take ~1-hour to stand everyone back up on another cloud provider, with two commands from our tooling. It would take three people to offline the company, since I built in a forced approval mode, and everything is backed up properly in three locations, one of which I can't access, to prevent me from nuking all sources. I can request access, but it takes the owner, and a tech lead to both approve access.

I know companies our size who have hundreds of people. What I can't figure out is why, a person is expensive, let's assume 90k / head, on average, 11 people is $1-million / year. Hyperscale size is a different mindset, definitely, but 5000+ employees, again, just seems weird.
