Indeed. Replacing half a century of collective experience with a new language in an entirely different and far less tested environment to write low level code, where all the memory safety features have to be disabled at all the same failure points where C and assembly have been used... for reasons.
So, in other words, it really isn't any better at bare metal development than C/C++. If you have to direct memory and hardware manipulation in unsafe blocks, then really, it's just the same thing as doing it in C.
I always love this ploy. "You are part of a small percentage of users whining about this, but our price changes are actually good for everyone else", as if you're supposed to take one for the good of humanity. Or Microsoft.
Arguing about plain-use definitions is a waste of time; intentionally trying to confuse people with bullshit is malicious.
For those of you playing stupid games centered around the word "independent", I will suspend disbelief and assume you are simply ignorant of what the word means in context.
In a narrower sense, the term refers only to those independent agencies that, while considered part of the executive branch, have regulatory or rulemaking authority and are insulated from presidential control, usually because the president's power to dismiss the agency head or a member is limited.
The best numbers I've been able to find put that number at about 25% of car owners
In the US, I thought I'd seen the number being closer to fully 1/3 of the population that did not have offstreet private parking where they could recharge every day....
I'm not in favor of the govt intervening....I'm ok with them maybe helping to get charging infrastructure going a bit more, but I don't want taxes or incentives on EV or ICE....let the market work that out. When the EVs are truly beating out the ICE vehicles.....the public will switch....if they don't, then they don't...but the govt shouldn't be choosing winners and losers here.
It is a Hungary-style media rollup attempt. Buy up, intimidate out or (eventually) sure competing voices into submission.
The land of the free, baby.
Before leaving the charger, you can see your next charging stop and the expected arrival SoC (state of charge). Only an idiot would leave a charger without having enough battery. You can also choose to charge more and skip the next charger - for example, if youÃ(TM)re stopping for lunch.
Sounds like a pain in the ass to me.
With my normal car (ICE), I don't have to 'plan' my trip based on where I have to fuel up....with the few exceptions of extremity, like crossing a few desert areas in the US, but for the majority of the US....there's a gas station on every corner in a city and all long the highways....you don't have to know where...they're just there whenever you need them.
And...gas is getting so cheap again too.....
I've only seen a few in a Whole Foods parking lot, and I think there were some in a Winn-Dixie parking lot.
But the few the apps showed were mostly private chargers.
so, living here if you can't charge at home, you're pretty screwed.....EV is just not the way to go around here in the New Orleans area.
With TCO it is cheaper to put there bigger battery and remove the ICE. But most of the new car buyers cannot calculate TCO and they care only about purchase price.
Well, you also have to consider the large number of people that do not have the capability to charge at home.
If you cannot charge at home, then an EV just doesn't not make much sense in most of the US.
He has complete control of the company. If he doesn't know what is going on somewhere in the company, it is because he isn't paying attention or doesn't want to know.
And this has been his only job. His entire adult life has been dedicated to manipulating people through a screen to make line go up.
Why would he care about people getting scammed when the line can go up?
But if we want to grouse...
I hate python's ecosystem. It is effectively impossible to run multiple nontrivial python applications on the same machine without encapsulation of some sort (virtualenv-type hacks, Docker, separate VMs). And even then, experimenting with anything involving switching libraries requires setting up new throwaway environments to handle, otherwise doing completely normal development stuff risks breaking the "system" python (whatever is packaged and probably used by the package manager).
Just a fucking mess.
Most of the range anxiety goes away once you see how effective overnight charging is.
If, in fact, you are one of those lucky enough to be able to park offstreet and charge at home overnight....
Depends where in the world you live. For the hundreds of millions of people living in Europe or countries like Singapore or Malaysia, thereâ(TM)s no need for a second car. People take the train for longer journeys. I was 43, married, with two kids aged 9 and 11, before I got a first car ten years ago - and it only had a range of 90 miles. I live in north London, and we just didnâ(TM)t have much need for a car up to that point. When we went to see my parents in Manchester, it was easier to get the train.
We're talking the US...and here it's hard to get by with only 1 car per family, although it can be done.
But in most middle class and up families, eventually everyone in the household has their own car.
Exactly this. People are not buying these large EVs without mandates or subsidies
This is the US.
The govt is supposed to be answerable to the people, not the other way around.
If the EVs can't compete on price and convenience without subsidies or even worse..."mandates", then they deserve to rot and it is not the governments business to step in and force people to to buy what they don't want, or is not ready for the market to compete for the consumers money....
