iospace posted:So, I found this thread thanks to twitter, and I know this is an older post of yours, but as an EE, this scares the ever living gently caress out of me. EE as well here, from my understanding, the chargers have the option of AC and DC output at varying levels adjustable on your model and charging needs. Software interlock apparently controls it, so you're not just gonna have kiddies tapping and zapping (I'd hope) It's DC voltage so not quite as dangerous but lol @ the raw amount of wear and tear that much energy would put on off-the-shelf Li-ON battery assembly

iospace posted:Amazon is also the company that treats its workers like utter poo poo, and investors are hoping that it becomes the norm so more money ultimately flows to them. See also: Uber. There's other reasons why stock does well, but that's the main reason that I mentioned. I remember this at least once a week and it makes my blood boil every time Steel workers about to go on strike, by the way. They're none too pleased that the execs are making millions in bonuses while their pay has only gone up marginally. Endless Mike posted:my friend who works in the aws division of amazon swears up and down that the stories about their warehouses are untrue and even if they are, amazon pays above minimum wage so it's okay. it's incredible how much he has drank the kool-aid. First thing I'd ask him is how much time he's spent in one of their warehouses in the past 6 months Second is how much Amazon is paying him to swallow their poo poo

infernal machines posted:it's me, i'm the major metropolitan centre that has space to install vehicle sized elevators several times a block Anyone with even an iota of urban utility work experience will immediately recognize how insane station development would be, even if the technology was perfect and the tunnel required no aboveground work (impossible). Like, expect weeks of traffic control and road excavation per station, months if it's a major service that needs to be bypassed during construction. It looks like a full cycling of the lift will take at least 30 seconds if we're being extremely generous -- how would you deal with queuing of cars?

Platystemon posted:How so? It supposedly uses cold gas thrusters, which have laughable performance but I don’t think would hurt paved roads. Concrete might be okay but asphalt is gonna get wrecked, esp on older roads on hot days. Cold blasters still get up to 50 C, and that's the point when cheap asphalt starts to get mucky. And then, as you say, there's the issue of any loose bits getting blasted into cars, storefronts, and pedestrians

Hobbies are something you pull out during an interview to build rapport, not a qualification. Even if they're related to whatever you do professionally, you should be naming the relevant skills and not the hobby.

Discendo Vox posted:What's the viable temp range issue solution like for other brands, such as the ones going hard in Europe and Scandinavia? I know they've got built-in heaters, but doesn't the reduced range still ruin the energy/cost calculus? Depends on the heater efficiency, but by and large yes. But then, the point of electric cars was never actually to reduce energy consumption or cost, it's just very neatly obsfucated

jit bull transpile posted:u know generating electricity for everyone from a single plant is way less polluty than having a million tiny less efficient plants rolling around making their own power rite That's a completely different problem. I wasn't talkin' bout pollution, I was talking about cost savings. You really don't have energy cost savings in the long term unless you happen to have access to cheap, reliable electricity and no significant amount gets wasted by the car doing things other than, you know, driving. Zero emissions cars are a great thing compared to having a million points of pollution, but let's not fool ourselves into thinking our actual total energy consumption is going down significantly by switching from one wasteful form of personal transport to another. Want to really reduce automobile power use? Make the cost of personal vehicle operation match its societal costs through taxing, tolling, etc.
