I think they meant that the whole thing was “a performance”… A theater. Not that the performance of the product had anything to do with it.

Quark und Saft gibt Kraft.

Love it. Slice of bread, Quark and Stips on it, flashbacks to childhood.

Sounds fulfilling.

More like: a German court rightly assumes it has power over what services are legal to be offered in Germany. By a company that employs 3000 people in Germany. Do you really think tech companies don’t have to abide national laws? How naive can you be?

what’s the advice you’ll give to your younger self?

Spend less time with the kids

20% is around 100km range, depending on your battery etc. of course. I try not to arrive at a charger with no range left, but even going to the next one shouldn’t ever be more than 20 km unless you live in antarctica… 100km is excessive.

Tbf, battery tech was also shit back then.

Except nmc batteries have no issue with being below 20 or above 80 percent soc, they have an issue with staying outside those values for longer periods of time. That’s why people say you shouldn’t charge above 80% in your day to day driving, because you’ll usually charge it to 100% and then just have the car parked in your driveway for hours with a full battery. When you’re on a road trip, you can absolutely use the bottom 20% of your battery as you’ll be charging it up immediately. You can also charge it up to 100% before starting your road trip with next to no effects on the battery for the same reasons.

So, yes, there’s obviously degradation for older cars and there’s the obvious effect of batteries charging slower the more charged they are, so I’ll give you that you won’t fully charge your car during a road (if you don’t have kids, I guess, as ours will absolutely drag out the break long enough to have the car sitting at 100%), but at the end of the day, the effects aren’t nearly as terrible as you describe, as you’d be at about 90% range for the first episode of the trip and about 80% for consecutive ones.

There he seems to draw a very clear line between us and Turing machines.

Hint: we are not universal Turing machines.

That’s pretty much his point though, isn’t it?

Nah. It’s just another rug pull in preparation. Undercut prices until the competition breaks, then fuck things up with your monopoly. We’re in the undercutting prices phase, but the Chinese will want to have their fair share of interest on the subsidies they use to do that right now. It’s the same old fucking capitalism again and nothing is saved from it.

Every time I read stories like that I wonder if I should do more stuff with the hyphanet.

So you’re arguing that capitalism and its greed are not an ideology?

Okay, so that maybe was a bit imprecise… I had heard that argument before, but essentially only from people who weren’t into the topic really. I was just curious if there was a serious source for that. Like, more serious than uncle Günther who flies a national flag in his garden.

But the guardian article mentions the points but comes to exactly the expected conclusion:

The data we have leaves little doubt that resource extraction will be significantly lower for electric cars compared with their petrol or diesel equivalents as recycling increases.

Just like replacing all cars.

I keep hearing this and the opposite

I never heard the opposite. Sources?

EV adoption can’t happen in a second. If more EVs are sold, countries can just expand grids and charging networks with it.
