It's disingenuous to say rural areas are too poor to install public transportation. It's that there's too much to install (too much space) for any given user. Just economics of rural areas. It doesn't make sense unless we can significantly reduce the capital investment and running costs of public transport.

Hard disagree. People are far more cunning and twist the news more than an AI ever could. AI would in most cases remove bias and improve understanding among their audience. Case in point: current.report

Important article. Why is it posted on fediverse

First of all, best user icon. Saw it before, commenting on it now

Second, the intent of supercaps shouldn't be range but batter loading. The limit of regenerative braking is not in the torque of the motor but what you need to do to transform the generated current into chemical energy in a battery. It's not as simple as passing the current through a capacitor, but with supercaps it is. So with the supercaps you can dump extreme currents and either use the energy for taking off or redirect it to the battery.

I demonstrated this in my senior design project at uni and it worked well. Didn't have a load I couldn't absorb with a bunch of the caps. The issue was they're very low voltage, so similar to the li-ion cells you need a lot of them in series to match the system voltage.

They'll make a movie

Heh, I feel like I was more active on Reddit during family gatherings...

It's a great reminder why first-past-the-post needs to go. Who's going to step up for the Dems this year? Are we really counting on an anemic Biden to carry the party against an energized right? Or will someone step up to the plate only to be reprimanded as a "spoiler"?

We need actual competition in the political space. If incumbent cronyism could be effectively challenged we'd have politicians who care a bit more about representing and a bit less about political capital.

But that's not the case here.

There isn't any regulation of commercial submersibles like there is for ground or air. Anywhere around the world. So the "de" of deregulation is not applicable.

Should there be regulation? Yeah absolutely, if submersibles are going to be a thing. But that's just called regulation.

I find most commentary reads as though people were expecting GTA from CDPR, which is completely unfair. I don't see a lot of "this doesn't play like Skyrim" from TW3 commentary, and there's a lot in common with those comparisons: CDPR titles are more story-driven, less freedom in their protagonist's character and role, and far less "life" outside the main path (ie, townsfolk and little finds along the way).

E: I think it played less buggy on launch than Skyrim, too. PC

Means "smart". Here used ironically

Negativity bias is objectively consistent and has been known for quite a while. It's important we balance that out with an intentional focus on positive thinking.

Damn you're on a tear. You're a 1%er for determination. I wouldn't dream of holding any full time job much less SW Eng'g (?) while taking chem classes, much less actually getting in any exercise.
