When you use the brakes in an EV the brake pads generally aren't used, instead the motor is used as a generator converting kinetic energy into stored power. I don't see this mentioned in the abstract, are the authors really not including this?
The paper does take account of this: regenerative braking is assumed for EVs and (conservatively) zero brake-wear is assumed.

Having RTFP, they do take regenerative braking into account - EV cars are assumed to use regen and have effectively zero brake-wear.
How about you better give a mechanism to disable this crap?

One of Feynman's memoirs includes the haha-only-serious observation that mathematical theorems are either unproven or trivial, and this is simply a re-statement of the same principle.
And actually, there's a lot of speculation about whether colonies exhibit intelligence or consciousness (eg Hofstadter's Aunt Hillary, but also Jack Cohen & Ian Stewart's Heaven - they also did the Science of the Discworld series with pterry).
The rules are that, for the next five years, any

a century ago, the same sorts of complaints were being made:

Face recognition (at least the Android Jelly Bean/Kit-Kat version) gives too many false positives at the moment. Somewhere between 5% and 20% of the time, my face does not unlock my phone/tablet, and I need to enter a PIN.
Also, the scope for involuntary unlocking is much larger.
If you want to know if I've read an email:
request a return receipt
If I want to give you that information, I will.
Goodness, there's an existing, non-scummy way of working all this out which preserves user expectations of privacy and provides you with the information you actually want, not a poor proxy of it.
"Quicksort is already implemented a thousand times, so there's no need to implement it again, just find which library you need."
Yes, that's true, but we're talking about education here, not building websites.
Also, knowing about QS implementations lets you know when it's been done wrong.
Case in point: Microsoft's C runtime library shipped around the time of Windows NT and Visual Studio 6 had a sub-optimal qsort implementation - it took 97 seconds (on a 600MHz Athlon) to sort 260,000 integers with a constrained set of values (0-180), whereas other implementations (eg Numerical Recipes) could do it three orders of magnitude quicker.
Delving in, the qsort() algorithm didn't exchange elements where the value equalled the partitioning element, which leads to increased comparison function calls (effectively proportional to 1/range).
Actually, I gave my 3yo daughter an older smartphone with no SIM. [...]
Most phones, even if you remove the SIM, will allow you to phone the emergency services (999, 911, 112 or whatever). I believe it's a requirement of the GSM standard.
Is this real? (Metallurgia International's web site appears to be gone, so there's no direct proof).
Surely even the worst kind of journal would ask that the Error! Reference source not found broken cross-references be fixed?
What if the intelligent designer just wanted to use evolution? I've never understood why the two solutions have to be exclusive.
Well, Intelligent she might be (gives you the afternoon off, after all), but it's a bit more dispassionate than I'd want my Benevolent Omniscient Being to be. Have you read about all those parasites? The ones that eat their host from the inside out, the ones that affect the brain, so the host goes wandering out into wide open places and gets eaten, etc.
It's almost Lovecraftian.
[...] Can I order a palette now and beat the rush?
You could, but we have so many more colours nowadays.
I'm not the one that suggested striping on the Intenet.
That happens all the time, I've seen the videos.
Oh. "striping", not "stripping". As you were.
... and assumed it must have been something to do with the gimbal-lock you can get if you're rotating 3D objects and not using quaternions.
TGIF.
