Fuel density doesn’t matter, what matters is how far you can drive on a charge.

Charge time doesn’t matter if you can swap a battery in 3 minutes instead of waiting to charge.

1. they matter for the reason i explained. you are acting like we can simply build as much batteries as we want, which is not true
2. and change them as conveniently as filling up the gas tank, which is also not true.
3. and the whole “just swap the battery” concept leads to need of more batteries -> go to (1)

Also you’re ignoring that fossil fuels are also dug out of the ground

i am not, i am not defending fossil fuel, i am just pointing out that the ev concept has problems that are not widely talked about.

just because some other strategy has problems doesn’t mean your strategy is problem free.

Are those two things actually important?

yes, they are. they make difference between actually usable technology and engineer’s dream.

Electric motors are a lot more efficient, and battery technology is quickly approaching the place where you can get the same range with an electric motor as with an ICE.

i doubt we even have enough rare metals for 8 or 16 billion batteries. most of them are being mined in politically unstable or to western civilization unfriendly countries, with terrible effect on the environment.

efficiency matters, it is not a question of how good single battery is.

As for refuel rate, I spend no time waiting for my car to charge because it charges at home while I’m sleeping, so the refuel rate doesn’t matter.

oh good. YOU have it solved, so the rest of the world does not matter, i assume…? fuck all these people, right?

the truth must be told: Firefox is not as optimized as Chrome

what are you talking about? my desktop pc is amd fx4300. definition of old and subpar - https://i.imgur.com/WBm5Ub1.png - and i have 313 open tabs right now.

granted, that is slightly more affected by memory, before i updated from 8 to 32 gb recently, it was admittedly slightly more sluggish.

but at the same time normal people don’t really have 300 open tabs at once and also you have to ask what is the threshold where you are willing to sacrifice your privacy for slight speed increase.

do you have some numbers to support that speed difference, or is it just your feeling, or anecdote that is being passed around and everyone repeats it and everyone believes it, because everyone says so?

what i don’t get is all the people complaining about google and at the same time using their browser…

i believe that trying to steer masses away from chrome would be more useful in the long run than trying to make it work

what?

If your keyboard was actually working, you pressed a key. If it was not working, you went to get new keyboard. What is “not thought through” about that?

unfortunately czechs dropped from 3 to just 1 seat 😒

so, all hopes on her. but definitely no pressure 😂

(…) are among thousands of other employee-reported privacy incidents, according to a copy of an internal Google database which tracks six years worth of potential privacy and security issues obtained by 404 Media.

So is leak of that database going to be next record in it? :D

ok, that’s fair, never thought of that…

private planes are much more dangerous, being almost as dangerous per mile as a regular car

that is because they are operated by semi-competent people who often have less practice then they have in car.

imagine how competent driver you are when you have your fresh license. it is the same with piloting license. and now imagine you are a hobby pilot and can afford to spend in the cockpit 3 hours per month. your skill is not really going to get significantly better. you are probably flying airplane that is at the end of its life, because that is only one you can afford, and there may be no one keeping an eye on you telling you “this is not how we do it, it is risky, dangerous, and you will get someone killed”.

your beef is with internal combustion engine, not with the car.

This seems wrong…

10^17 milligrams

(2^64−1) × 0.03 = 5.53 × 10^17 is weight in grams.

but i had an error in the second paragraph where i said this number is number of grains.

the ultimate result (712 times the annual production) is correct.

sorry for the confusion and thx for catching that.

I could do this in about five seconds with Corel PhotoPaint.

that is because you are familiar with corel photopaint. i could do that faster than you in gimp, because i am familiar with gimp.

and yes, using tool capable of doing lot of complex tasks takes more time to learn than some single-purpose tool that is optimized to do one task (and even then you have to learn how to use it). that is like wondering that learning to pilot aircraft takes longer than learning to ride on a bicycle.

bon apetit. when you are done, i will donate one million dollars to charity of your choice. i don’t have one million dollars. i will still honor my promise.

there is 2^64 - 1 (roughly 5.53 * 10^17 1,84 × 10^19) grains of rice on the board.

according to google, grain of rice averages at about 30 miligrams (per random google result), which makes the rice on the board to weigh about 553 402 322 211 metric tons.

The total world rice production for 2022 was 776 461 457 metric tonnes (per wiki).

((2^64−1) × 0.03) / (10^6) / 776461457 = 712,72

so there is about 712 times as much rice as the whole earth’s 2022 rice production.

this is why it is important to understand basic math in school, even if you don’t plan to become a scientist.

because then the covid comes, and all these university of life graduates with their youtube research and common sense have absolutely no idea how fast the exponential curve is growing and what it means for the spread of the illness.

i understand you might have known this and being sarcastic with your post.
