With limited resources, sometimes practicality needs to win. Kudos to Bruce for putting aside his (valid) feelings on the subject and doing what is best for the team and community overall.
I don't think I realized that ICE engines had this kind of degradation. What causes this? Seals and parts loosening as they break in? Some loss of efficiency in the fuel mixing/burning process?
> The key results: In the first approximately 30,000 kilometres, the loss of capacity is accelerated, and the so-called state of health (soH) drops relatively quickly from 100 to around 95 percent. With increasing mileage, real degradation decreases. According to the Electrive portal, Aviloo data from the 7,000 vehicles showed a (average) SoH of around 90 percent at 100,000 kilometres. According to this, the trendline is almost horizontal, between 200,000 and 300,000 kilometres, it is almost stable – and is well above the 70 to 80 percent of the battery guarantee. In fact, it is rather 87 percent.
And somehow, in the US at least, we don't even have broad agreement that climate change is real, happening, and will dramatically adversely affect humans for centuries to come.
Anyone have any good resources or techniques for having honest discussions with friends and family that simply refuse to believe a problem even exists? Real solutions will only come once we admit there's a problem.
This is a really interesting idea to me, honestly. Someone would have to do some modeling, but I'm guessing that amount being emitted would be low enough to not dramatically cool the Northern Hemisphere (where most of the air traffic is) and messing up some weather patterns. The author stresses several times in TFA that sulfur emissions should be done at the equator to have an equal, global effect.
But their point is that your comment doesn't have anything to do with what the article is talking about. TVs having picture settings have nothing to do with connecting it to the network.
I don't necessarily disagree, but this article doesn't talk about any of that. It's talk about picture setting, like motion smoothing, dynamic range, local dimming, etc.
I remember reading books like 1984 and Fahrenheit 451 as a teen thinking, "Cool story, but the US will never look like that." Oof.
