I see your point for sure. But I’d say Covid was pretty exceptional though.

I’m not sure if crypto counts as major headlines especially if you wanted to find out about it early.

I’d actually see early crypto news as a local interest but local meaning a technical niche instead of geographical.

I still think 99% of major daily headlines won’t affect your daily life. Assuming we ever go back to 2019 boring.

Honestly local news is more relevant to your life than stuff happening on the other side of the world. /unpopular opinion

It’s just a super fancy way to put a function around an existing function.

It sounds like you do understand it.

The trucks make sense by Why the Subaru?

Correlation not equal to causation?

Sorry but I’m all panicked out.

It’s really that comparable??

Perhaps this technology could be useful for breakthrough starshot: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakthrough_Starshot

I don’t really get it. Also could this be used to improve telescopes?

This is a great opportunity for start ups to eat the lunch of big companies by hiring all the talent that doesn’t want to commute.

So how bad is 30 minutes at max charge vs say 24 hours?

We’re only .12ish per kWh in Florida but they have an time based plan where I can get .08 off peak hours which would be ideal for an electric.

GOOD Point by my wife. Why can’t we have a small battery with cold tolerant chemistry to heat up the main battery?

How did it decrease?

What about the curvature of the earth?

What’s that?

What other runtime needs more updates than an OS? Python never asks for updates and breaks my workflow.

Could this be closer to how the brain works? Have we ruled it brains using back propagation?

It’s so hard to get others on that early dinner schedule though!

That seems like a longer way off than we were expecting?

So Toyota still uses nimh in its hybrids? Does that make them longer lasting?

A coming car glut is almost as scary as the current shortage.

Older cars can work great but I just lose confidence in taking longer trips. If it’s statistically going to die soon I feel like there’s a large risk of getting stranded somewhere.

I’ve thought my next vehicle would be an EV since 1998. But next time for sure.

So far …

You’ll always find a reason the latest crisis is worth being scared of. But we’re just going to go from one crisis to the next so we need a way to make peace with that.

I think CS Lewis explained it well when the atomic bomb was created:

> In one way we think a great deal too much of the atomic bomb. “How are we to live in an atomic age?” I am tempted to reply: “Why, as you would have lived in the sixteenth century when the plague visited London almost every year, or as you would have lived in a Viking age when raiders from Scandinavia might land and cut your throat any night; or indeed, as you are already living in an age of cancer, an age of syphilis, an age of paralysis, an age of air raids, an age of railway accidents, an age of motor accidents.”

On the contrary your whole goal should be to avoid the exceptions.

I’m going to go back to all the dealers that ignored me and make them beg for my business.

Turn off the news and you’ll be much happier. Remember they only make money if they’ve scared you into watching.
