The argumentation is flawed.

1. Just imagine the required charging infrastructure if all vehicles were suddenly battery powered. Charging electric vehicles requires quite some power. Can the power grid installations sustain that (power lines, Transformer stations...) ? What resources (financial and physical (e.g. Cooper)) are required in order to adapt the infrastructure ? Just an example: A supercharger station which can charge a few cars at "full speed" simultaneously can draw > 1 Megawatt. Furthermore, superchargers are quite complex (and expensive) technology;

2. Batteries are not a suitable large scale energy storage. However, non-dispatchable, fluctuating energy sources such as solar and wind power require huge amounts of storage in order to sustain the power demand.

I wonder why Apple does not include a hypervisor in iOS, and "risky" processes such as iMessage, Safari (maybe a Secure Safari version) could then be executed in a separate virtual machine. The hardware (CPU + RAM) in the iPhones these days should be able to sustain it. Or would there be serious drawbacks to this ?

I'm not from the US and I am not a native English speaker.

The federalist papers are, in my opinion, a true work of art. I find the linguistic elegance and finesse of these texts highly admirable.

Unfortunately, to my dismay, the usage of such "complex" language is discouraged nowadays. Or to express it in the appropriate linguistic style: Our modern era seems to espouse a predilection for accessibility and brevity, often at the expense of the stylistic grandeur and intellectual richness that was once the hallmark of our written and spoken discourse.

It's really nice to see that C++ implementations in the ML field are growing. Personally I do not like Python very much. C++ does not force you to do things in a specific (Pythonic) way.
