Actually maybe we can set up a blockchain for that!!!

Indeed. Its why I'm not sweating it honestly. I used to sweat it thinking "omg if I buy an ICE what will happen". Cars depreciate in value already. In 10 years when my new car will be 10 years old... It'll still be before the 2035 timeline. I might lose 5k on the total value of the car when selling, maybe, but that's why holding a car for 10 years makes it more or less useful. Who knows, maybe by then Waymo will make me having to have my own car irrelevant.

So who knows. Make purchasing decisions that make sense for the next 5-7 years, as for the way future, who knows.

No joke. I sold my prius in 2022 (was 10 years old). The problem is that just around the time now is when the battery is due for a failure and that basically totals the car. Though I think the old Nickel batteries are less likely to fail than the lithium ones (though they are heavier).

The thing is... in 12 years new ICE cars won't be sold. Likely still plenty of market for ICE cars used. I think today buying an ICE isn't much of a risk. But the hope is that car companies focus less on ICE investment. Though seeing companies like Mazda really push these engines to the limit in terms of how much energy can be extracted from the gas can be a very useful tech if we can't quite get the infra ready for a fully electric market.

We'll see in 2032 what the practical landscape looks like. but hopefully by then buying an electric will be a no-brainer. But we don't know if Lithium supplies are going to be enough, or if new amazing tech comes out to where battery lifetimes extend by a lot and recycling becomes a solid tech.

Eh. By the time gas cars stop being sold, A new car will be old again.

This is the last nail in the ICE coffin.

If Europe bans ICE, car xonpa ies not gonna make em. Not really. Why invest in dying tech.

And some of the biggest money states are already on the 2035 timeline. So any state who ignores the issue now is gonna get pulled in defacto. And if they don't keep up they gonna be in a lot of pain as they are dependent on cars which are quickly disappearing.

This is why Belarus has avoided the war. He knows that it will cause him to either send his loyalists to fight and die leaving him undefended or sending in non loyalists to bolster the Ukrainian forces.

Lose/lose situation.

Hopefully this teaches other wannabe dictators: side with a maniac and learn just how quickly you get thrown to the wolves.

From the /r/starcitizen crowd... I'm not entirely sure this cpu will make that game happy. lol. I think intel needs to give us a 1000ghz processor soon or we won't be able to go above 30fps!

Omg that's evil

Peoplesoft 4 lyfe! Ima fight you over this. To the death!

To note, Postgres has a new plugin for full oracle compatibility (github), its not enabling anything new in postgres but it allows PG to be a full drop-in replacement for an oracle database. Or at least mostly.

People need to seriously just move away from oracle asap. It is a predatory company that hasn't really innovated in decades.

Touchscreen support on a mac would be amazing.

Windows tablets are great. And having a touchscreen for drawing is awesome. The fact is that on macs, currently wacoms are kinda the only option. This will open a lot of opportunities.

I thought this was always the case and it's a bad thing... The stronger the immune response the more food comes straight to the virus.

It's so dangerous because it specifically attacks the exact mechanism we have to kill it.

I could be very wrong. Would love info from anyone who understands this better.

Whoever is doing this it's tiny groups being crazy effective.

Easiest way is to hold out your hands and tilt your top. Your head rotates a bit, but your hands go up and down a lot. Currently your head is where the person sits. In these designs your fingers will be where they sit.

This design could work for cargo planes. For passenger planes, every time it turns, it'll be like riding a roller coaster.

Get a disability lawyer. If you have a job that can be done entirely sitting down great. But if your only prospects are physical jobs... Lawyer.

I wasn't hit, but came close to running multiple over as they cut into me. It is a menace.

a) there needs to be a regalatory charger protocol so that there's no such thing as mismatched chargers

b) we need to force inspections on ebikes just like we do with cars. They need to be license plated and restricted. That way we can say what types of batteries are permitted and inspections mandatory

Unfortunately public safety.

But unfortunately ebikes don't fit the motor vehicle description because they're too slow for MV and too fast for manual bikes. It creates a very weird gap in the law.
