Trucks have a higher duty cycle than cars so a battery pays for itself quicker. Truckers have legally mandated breaks that largely mitigates charging time. Charging infrastructure is cheaper than hydrogen infrastructure.

Yeah the tech seems feasible but I'm skeptical of controlling capital costs when you need carbon nanotubes membranes as a core piece. Air capture is also quite expensive and I'm not sure how much the "only need small concentr

Anyone can take a battery and just decrease the discharge rate and claim "long duration storage". The hard part is making it cheaper per kWh. If they made it cheaper per kWh then they should say that

Yeah. I have a poor view of terraform since my first interaction was trying to a few one line changes to avoid repetition but couldn't find why it didn't work without setting up connection to the AWS S3 bucket.

IEA has consistently underestimated solar/wind deployment and cost improvements. Predicting minimal change each year even as prices drop and deployment soars. Should we really expect them to be accurate on the mineral limitations of ba

Thanks for the answers. How is session state kept? Is /event required (as data would be sent in /next?). Also as I understand, Processors won't be involved until they are needed. E.g. if we have 2 panes but only the result of

Would be interested in: 1. How you implemented this on the backend? Did you consider using something like Temporal, AWS Simple Workflow, or AWS Step Functions? 2. Interested in how you're avoiding (waiting) on network calls on each act

The source of this capability is hidden in that you had to pass in a Foo to the call site. If you had done similarly in the struct example by passing in the function Bar to the caller then you could achieve similar functionality by shoving

An attack is anything that makes it take less than a brute force effort (of 2^80 operations). A 2^63 effort is really expensive in 2007. But by 2015 computation was maybe 2^5 times cheaper and there was a 2^5 cheaper attack. I believe that

75 kWh doesn't take a few hours with a supercharger. Doing similar with hydrogen is probably a similar level of infrastructure.
