While I mostly agree, the one part I may disagree with is with documentation. It's not uncommon that documentation can be scarce for certain things which means that if someone can generate, review, and publish documentation for part of the project, I see that as a way of helping users that would otherwise have very little, just poor documentation, or in some cases no documentation at all.

Given that we live in a "market-driven" society, the correct conclusion is that companies are refusing to properly compensate skilled workers. As for the cause, the only rational conclusion is that there is insufficient competition in the energy distribution market. To encourage competition, the correct move would be to start breaking up large energy distribution companies like PG&E.

Hopefully now this has been proven to work, we can accelerate the process.

The issue is political. A lot of people in London and the wider are poor, and can't afford a new car or even a used EV when petrol bangers are as little as a few hundred quid. At least sales of new ones are increasing steadily, and the Chinese manufacturers are offering them at reasonable prices. That competition seems to have driven down prices from European, Japanese, and Korean manufacturers too.

If they just popped out they could be reused cheaply. Most of them are going to be fine, ready to re-use without any more than a simple test. Some people collect them and build their own home batteries out of discarded vapes.

We could do with an EU level rule that such batteries must be removable without tools and use a standard JST connector.

In this case it's an open source driver that is the problem. Specifically this one: https://www.highrez.co.uk/Down...

The maintainer abandoned it, but everyone kept using it because it's the only real option for apps (including open source ones like Open Hardware Monitor) to access the motherboard SMBUS which controls fans and RGB lighting, among other things.

It's not clear exactly what the cause of the crash is, but it may be related to anti-cheat tech which basically rootkits Windows and then panics when it sees certain drivers installed.

We would have to require manufactures to include safe and simple recovery processes.

And regulating businesses is filthy Communism, so maybe that will fly in the UK and EU, but never in the good old USofA.

If only there was some way to process these flammable batteries in a way that their components could be reused again for batteries, like some sort of cycle that goes again and again, a "recycle" if you will.

I dunno, I'm just spitballing here.

Mathematicians invented imaginary numbers because they refused to admit they were wrong which logically means that AI will invent hallucinated numbers to explain why they gave a non-sense answer to a basic math question.

That's fine because now everyone should be getting an EV which solves the engine reliability issue.

I want lots of things but I choose what I get. People need to take some responsibility for what they buy.

Those are ancillary luxury features that are not critical to driving. You have eyes, don't you?

is spoiled.

I like the idea from a neat and tidy legal principle. But what you propose is not what I've seen in practice. Amazon is perhaps the one doing the largest scale book destruction, because they already had the equipment for their earlier book digitization projects. Anthropic is a close second as far as I'm aware. Others like Google have a mix of destructive and nondestructive, with no public information on the amount of either.

If you believe that Iranians saying that stuff is a statement of actual intent and makes peace impossible, then you should also believe the same about statements made by the Israeli government and its genocidal intent to create a Greater Israel.

This comment is a real head scratcher to me. So off the mark I blurted out a laugh when I saw it.

I'm not aware of any technology that can build a society where adults hold literacy and numeracy, that does not involve a lot of repetitive practice and rote learning. Even numerical theory as presented in common core mathematics (which I applaud) requires practice and repetition to retain. And the exercises in common core that Internet loves to complain about is an example of that practice.
