Really? Deep space outpost? What would an outpost on Mars be? How about Jupiter? By the time we get to Neptune we'll be in another universe, and we're not even out of our own solar system yet. Hyperbolic much??
5lbs feels like not enough to really replace most trips to actually stock your groceries, unless you break up your shopping trip into multiple delivery flights. It's much better for impromptu consumption (though that said, I feel like most of my trips to the local hardware store are "oh crap, I need this one thing
(You're welcome)
Yup, because those people intentionally looking to mislead or defraud others through the use of AI fakes are certainly going to follow this law to the letter...
Well, there's also the issue of having a "throat to choke." A large part of using SaaS is that when it doesn't work, it's somebody else's problem to solve.
What a load of contorted nonsense.
What is "OpenSource" anyway? Is that a word?
Im sorry, but a whole load of those justifications are bullshit.
Yes, but 6.9m of those 27.6m don't have a car in the first place, and pretty obviously,
And how many of those 27.6m will have multiple vehicles?
and pretty obviously, those are more likely to be the households without the ability to park a car off-street.
No, thats very far from "obvious" at all. Very very far. So far, that its a reach.
Did you even look at the Google Maps link I sent? I'd say that under the current approach, a good proportion of the city of Norwich would not be able to charge their vehicle at home because they have no chance of off road parking.
- that still leaves at least 70% of cars / households able to charge at home offstreet compared to 0% able to refuel at home offstreet, which is a massive win for tens of millions of people, and obviously reduces pressure on the public charging network
The reason this doesnt matter for ICE is because refuelling ICE vehicles is a 5 minute matter and the infrastructure has been around to do that for what, a hundred years now?
Meanwhile, the infrastructure for charging EV vehicles anywhere other than very very specific locations right now is non-existent, and will consist of a MASSIVE build out which hasnt even started yet.
- tons of solutions for on-street charging are rolling out, from lamp-post to bollards to gullies
The problem is not that solutions theoretically exist, its that they are yet to be implemented on the scale required in order to achieve the switch over from ICE to EV that governments want to see.
Where is the funding for the roll out of those solutions? Wheres the wide scale planning for implementing those solutions?
- there's tons of other places to charge, including workplace charging
Laughable if you consider that most people don't have a parking spot at work and have to park either on-street near their work place or in a commercial car park. So the same issues apply here as well.
In addition to that, if EV charging spots arent excessively available in numbers then you are going to have an issue where someone parks up, hooks up and sits there for 8 hours while they work.
Once again its an issue of available infrastructure - 10 EV charge points for a road of 50 houses simply isnt going to cut it. You are going to have to have 50 charge points otherwise the shit is going to hit the fan at some point. And we both know that no government, local or national, is going to provide enough charging points for those that dont have off-road parking of their own.
- cars only need to be charged once every 10 to 14 days in the UK, given how much the average car is driven per day
Sorry but I want the ability to drive whatever distance I like at the drop of a hat, which means that my car would be plugged in whenever Im not using it to achieve that. My wife is a doctor who is regularly on call, so she *has* to be able to drive whatever distance she wants at the drop of a hat.
My problem is not EVs, my problem is the lack of infrastructure to support EVs and the timeline that governments want to have the general populace to switch over to EVs wholesale - there are deadlines in place, but theres absolutely fuck all funding at the scale required in order to build the corresponding infrastructure out.
People are used to the availability of "drive to the other end of the country and back again" at the drop of a hat in terms of infrastructure which supports that - for EV that does not exist right now, and its not going to exist a decade from now which is 5 years after the ICE ban in the UK - theres no mass roll out even planned yet, its all handwaving about "solutions exist for that". Great, put the solutions in place then!
Right now, successive governments have basically said "after 2030 you cant buy ICE vehicles - good luck!".
We saw more movement and planning around cable TV back in the 1980s and 1990s - this is so much more fundamentally important, and yet we arent seeing roads being dug up, or even being planned to be dug up.
Firstly, this is not in any way surprising or upsetting. Niantic's been pretty clear for a long time now that they were making location-based games for the purpose of training systems.
Secondly, I should note that POGO does not actually require you to take pictures of anything. It's an option, one way to do what Pokemon Go calls "Field Research Tasks" (FRTs), but "take a scan of that place" FRTs are a small subset of the FRTs you might choose to do (and when I was attempting to get as many as possible on my way to level 74 I ignored all the scanning ones).
We all met at the Tim Hortons, and the answer is Yes! Now that the stinky orange meanie in the whitehouse has kicked us out of the proverbial basement, a big 'ol maple-flavored AI brain sounds like a good idea.
That article is very nuanced - the exact wording is "18 million (65%) of Britain’s 27.6 million households having – or with the potential to have – enough off-street parking to accommodate at least one car or van".
Note the "or with the potential to have" - thats going to be peoples front or back gardens, with corresponding changes to drop curbs etc. Which still means significant investment at a property level to allow for that - who is going to pay for that?
Look at the streets here and tell me how these properties are going to fit into that report...
Theres still a lot more to it than purchase price, unfortunately.
When I was living in the UK, more than half the place I lived in would have had zero ability to charge an EV - the parking options were either on-road (and if you were lucky, within 3 streets of your house), or if you won the council lottery then you rented a garage within the local area. And no, you couldnt add an EV charger to the garage.
Where I live now, I have off street parking and the ability to add an EV charger - I fully expect my next car to be an EV.
But if I wasnt living here, if I was still living in the UK, then the problem of on-street parking and charging would still be a major blocker that I dont see being solved, properly solved, any time soon.
I often end up with browser tabs taking a gig, sometimes two. MacOS needs its share, so add in some heavy browser tabs and 8 gb might be tight, at least for me.
All Finagle Laws may be bypassed by learning the simple art of doing without thinking.
