  • 2020: Why Canada should ban the sale, ownership of handguns

    Jump

  • Wars can be fought on multiple fronts in different ways. We are currently in a trade war with America, started by them, as well as having them threaten and dismiss our sovereignty. This is not the act of an ally. Much like how relations with Germany are currently good, we can considering repairing the relationship with America when theis war and these acts of aggression are over.

    I literally have family across America from north to south and east to west. That is no reason to put up with the hostility their nation is showing ours.

  • The McDonalds point is in reference to inflation, which will certainly have an impact on the cost of vehicles. And I feel like you don't grasp the concept of a luxury vehicle. By definition, it has more than the basics. This could be why my EV cost less than $20k used and a Model S costs $151k new. No ponytail, but I don't expect having one would hinder my basic math, economics, or English comprehension skills.

  • A conventional war between Canada and the US will be over in days, if not hours. I'm not sure America could win an unconventional (guerilla) war with Canada.

  • Absolutely. If we had done so with batteries and solar, imagine where we could have been. Both technologies languished for far longer than they had to.

  • All good. I just keep seeing this all the time about batteries, simply because most of the technological advances are slow, cumulative, aggregate, and largely invisible to consumers. Then people complain about how none of these advances ever make it to market while ignoring, for example, how many pounds old, barely capable cell phones were compared to the functionality of smartphones these days that can run for a full day on a battery a fraction of the size we had for those old behemoths, all apparently without any of those breakthroughs making it to market. I mean, look at the first cell phone in this article. I suspect some advancements occurred in batteries between then and now.

  • The point is not about this particular article, but the general attitude of that comment, which boils down to "Why is there an article about a technological breakthrough that may never pan out in my community about technology?" I feel like these guys would have complained about Newton's quaint ideas for a new way to use mathematics. The fact this particular article is about technology that is demonstrably taking off while they complain about articles on battery tech not being implemented is pretty next level.

  • I'll take out of context quotes for $100, Alex.

    Those changes are over 40 years, only 13 years of which apply to your reference, and include only one component of a luxury vehicle. Also, the current base price for a Tesla Model S that it showed me was $150k. If we apply inflation to $140k since 2012 ($150k minus the $10k you said), we get a value of $197k. So, $47k cheaper in 2025 dollars.

    I suppose you blame battery prices for why McDonalds costs more, too?

  • The sub is about technology, not industry. Also, look at the advances in battery technology in the last 30 years. There have only been 3 notable technology advances in the last 40 years from a consumer perspective, but there have been significant advances within each of those major technology changes, resulting in Wh/kg increasing by 6 to 10 times and $/Wh dropping about 99%.

    If you want to hear about things that could happen or are about to start happening in industry, this is the right community. If you want to know what you can buy tomorrow, try Amazon.

  • I'm not sure if it's an admirable trait to double down on your ignorance, but I'm kind of impressed by your willingness to do it in front of everyone.

  • First, if there's a good reason, it isn't arbitrary. Second, at an elementary level, data points that are within a standard deviation of each other are statistically similar. There are obviously variances and edge cases, but it does reinforce the point I was making, which is that expected behavior for someone at 115 IQ and someone at 100 IQ are more or less the same (and may be the same person who did or didn't have a good night's sleep).

  • I had to do a variant of this with my now wife. She never wanted to pick restaurants, so I'd suggest something i was okay with but knew she hated. She got a lot more willing to give her opinions after a few years. Now we can discuss it like equals instead of me making the decision all the time.

  • I was thinking about this the other day, and due to the bell curve, 68% of people are average intelligence, with only 16% being below (or above) average. I don't know if that makes it better or worse, because a lot more than 16% of the population is making pretty poor choices.

  • Tesla reintroduces 'Mad Max' Full Self-Driving mode that breaks speed limits

    Jump

  • I've driven by a few radar speed indicators in my car, and I'm consistently going 4 km/h less than what my digital speedometer says, regardless of speed. I find it difficult to believe this is an accident. So if I had your vehicle and it behaved like my speedometer does, I would still only be +1 over the limit. Also, I now drive with my speedometer +5 to +9 relative to the speed limit, which keeps me more in line with the traffic around me.

  • Yeah, a lot of young people change their minds about what they want in life, some older people, too. I kind of hope my kids change their minds but, looking around, I totally get why people would be turned off with bringing more people into this mess. Either way, it's their choice, and I will live with whichever one they make. The same applies for choice of partners.
