I didn’t get the battery but paid 28.5K (without rebates) for a 12.8kW array. I think that’s very reasonable. Heating, cooling and car charging are covered with around 6mWH capacity left a year. Thinking of converting my water heater now.
This is fixable without suffering. Read a few books on the subject, and develop an appreciation of why money is important. Suffering is the last and blunt resort.
I counter this. I had a couple of years of experience and a Masters degree in CS when I first picked up SICP. Then I understood computation . I wish I could go back in years and learn from SICP first. I would could save myself from a lot of dead end perspectives and frustration. SICP is a peerless jewel imo
That was true about electric cars and rockets too. Musk may fail at this one or another future project, but you can't blame the guy for not being refreshingly original and dynamic
Yeah, the author didn't seem to do his homework here. Musk is extremely competent at programming. Wrote and sold a game when he was 12, started and ran two s/w companies. He approaches real world like its software - that it can molded as he likes.
Ah. You fell for the trap. The good old “you mean more than you said just because you were critical of some aspects of the country”. The parent made your argument a straw man, beat it down in his mind, and made you angry.
As a senior programmer I wouldn't like to lose that money either, just because you happen to choose a stack that is different from mine. You see, I have my Java(or whatever) stack which still makes me moolah.
The problem is with scale. All the other dictators you mentioned know you personally , and probably care about you or care enough as long as it benefits them. The dictators everyone is talking about don’t know you or your family, friends, school and probably town if you are from a small one. Now, when they make decisions do you think they think about you or ilk? You will be treated as if you don’t exist and your cries are just as heard as much as that crushed ant beneath your feet. Representative government matters because it gives everyone a voice and power to change things if stuff doesn’t work out.
> Based on a study out of Israel, the risk of post-vaccine myocarditis is 2.13 cases per 100,000 vaccinated, which is within the range usually seen in the general population
Because the vaccinated are not immune to the virus, some of them must have gotten covid. The overall risk of this sample still falls with-in the normal range for myocarditis.
When it rains, Co2 in atmosphere leaches the calcium in rocks forming calcium carbonate that runs off to the sea eventually. Hundreds of millions of years from now, our actions leave their mark on some ancient seabed, as a thick white stone(like Dover, England) . The higher the Co2 in the atmosphere, the more it rains, because more water evaporates due to higher temperature, causing faster reduction of Co2 in the atmosphere. Thus there is a natural balance in the cycle. Unfortunately for us, it is way slower than the speed with which we pumped the Co2 out. It takes tens of millions of years to get back to preindustrial levels (of < 200 ppm) Co2
You can carefully construct a case where it wouldn’t work, obviously. Even humans have blind spots, and are prone to visual hallucinations. Stop spreading FUD. I have AP and I know it works reasonably well - as long as I have my eyes on road and hands on steering, it is safe, while reducing a great deal of stress
Or you can buy a old android phone on eBay for the same price. Phones have made computing accessible than any other effort to make it cheaper ala OLPC. There are parallels to capitalists making the world a better place than religions and philosophies.
There is tendency to suppress this in discussions, but Model 3 sucks in so many ways - everything rattles, even a empty coffee cup in the holder. The car is good as long as I drive on a smooth road. The seats are not very comfortable, the car is absolutely stripped of any artistic detail. On the other hand, AP rocks(invaluable in high traffic commutes like bay area), and I don’t think other cars do it just as confidently. And it keeps updating. The steering is extremely precise and handles like a champ in corners. It feels like we have a to choose between traditional comfort and tech, which sucks. It’s almost like it is a specialist car like a subaru wrx
See a doctor then . It isn’t expected. Could be a lack of CS education, in which case, read some books. If that doesn’t fix it, see a psychiatrist - something could be wrong with your brain.
