battery aging really is not a big issue, especially with Tesla batteries. The LFP chemistry used in standard range models should last even longer. Chart with degradation: https://www.recurrentauto.com/research/how-long-

I wanted to add the Odroid H3 here as well. I've got it running at 3~4W idle with a WD Black nvme m2 ssd. Standard x86 debian server installation. 16GB of sodimm ram (supports up to 64GB). 2x 2.5GbE ethernet. Passively cooled (fan opti

Tesla used to tell users to avoid overusing the fastchargers, but they no longer include such language on the site. A recent study by Recurrent Auto which looked at data from 12,500 Tesla vehicles said that there is "no statistically s

There’s a difference between knowing the physical and chemical reactions and being able to reproduce it. We have reproduced it, but not yet sustainably and in an economically profitable way. We can’t reproduce exactly what the sun is doing,

Can you roughly remember how long ago that was? ZFS has been around since the earlier 2000's, with FreeNAS starting in 2005 iirc. The filesystem has gotten a lot more stable, and imo the documentation clearer. That said, it's &quo

Yeah, I don’t like the game either. Not at all. How can we change it though? Looking at history, changes come through either (usually bloody) revolution, or through politics themselves. So unfortunately, someone needs to play the game in or

All politicians are bad and politics in general too? That would be a grim and unconstructive view. The US is a country of 330M people, the world is a community of 8B people. If we want to be able to live side by side, we need rules and poli

This seems to have been easier in the past than it is now. Family traditionally played that role and I hope for a lot of us still does. We do seem to be living in a society more disconnected than before.

That’s one of the reasons I started tracking the filezise of the archive, and monitoring that over time. Datadog will trigger an alert if our backups are suddenly X% smaller.

Of course. Afaik there are no numbers we could use to estimate the effect on GDP of such redistribution. We could indeed hypothesize that GDP would increase due to poorer people having more to spend. On the other hand, in this scenario the

I know. I’m an economist. The post was talking hypothetical if the gains were better distributed. GDP/capita is that maximum hypothetical number where the full gross domestic production is evenly distributed to all people.

GDP per capita in the US is $80K [wikipedia] I assume it includes everyone regardless of age, so the average salary when only considering people working if probably $100K or above

by andruby 3y ago
GDP per capita is $80K in the US. I suspect this includes people of all ages, so if we distribute this only to working age, that’s probably close to $100K (six figures)

by andruby 3y ago
Let’s take a look at income (not wealth) The US has a GDP per capita of $80K, so if it were distributed equally, everyone would “get” $80K. Since in reality the distribution is very skewed a lot of people would earn more. Of course, that’s

I don't understand the "economic" model. If I'm a developer and get to chose what to charge, that means I can ask people for $0.01, and they would get access to everything from all developers of this "platform"

Stock gives control over a company. I would say that is materially different. ie: suing Apple for cash won't give them the ability to install backdoors, taking over control of Apple would. (This is probably unlikely to happen with Appl

But that would also introduce a perverse incentive by giving the government a way to take over companies. (And yes I do believe that governments and/or individuals with power would abuse this for personal gain)
