The reality is that A) some tasks will always require significant performance or memory, and B) not all tasks' footprints are readily discernable when you begin the task.
Python is a real monster with memory in particular. The amount of overhead on every variable and every member of a list or dict is absurd. There are packages like numpy to help with this, but they're not universally applicable and more limited in capabilities than stl structures in C++.
... until you discover that your program is butting up against performance or memory limitations, since Python gobbles both, and then you have to go back and redesign the whole bloody thing.
In this case, it's word-told-in-person-and-SMSed against admitted-word.
Specifically: the incident in question occurred late morning after a night of refusing to consent to unprotected sex, from a person who had a well documented lifetime paranoia about unprotected sex. Earlier in the morning, she had complained - both on SMS with a friend, and in person to another friend encountered at the grocery store while out buying food for Assange - about his behavior, and how mad she was getting about him continually trying to F* her unprotected. She then returned home and went to sleep. Assange does not deny the prevous night's refusals to consent to unprotected sex; he just claims that she woke up and consented.
In short, Assange's argument is: This person, with a well documented history of paranoia about unprotected sex, who was literally complaining about his attempts to sleep with her unprotected right up to when she went to sleep, just suddenly woke up and had a change in lifetime philosophy with a person she had just been mad at.
Unfortunately, in Sweden you can (their judicial system is most criticized for being too defendant-friendly, hindering the effectiveness of investigations). The statute of limitations has already been run out for three of the four charges against Assange on the original EAW.
Even while Assange was hiding out from Sweden, he was able to repeatedly legally challenge the warrants against him (in absentia) in court. He lost each time, but IMHO that's not a bad strategy... hide out, challenge your warrant repeatedly, and hope that at least one argument sticks.
4. On 17th August 2010, in the home of the injured party [name given] in Enkoping, Assange deliberately consummated sexual intercourse with her by improperly exploiting that she, due to sleep, was in a helpless state. It is an aggravating circumstance that Assange, who was aware that it was the expressed wish of the injured party and a prerequisite of sexual intercourse that a condom be used, still consummated unprotected sexual intercourse with her. The sexual act was designed to violate the injured party’s sexual integrity.
The statute of limitations would have been hit in August 2020. #1-3 are already expired.
Director of Public Prosecution, Ms Marianne Ny, has today decided to discontinue the investigation regarding the suspected rape (lesser degree) by Julian Assange. The motive is that there is no reason to believe that the decision to surrender him to Sweden can be executed in the foreseeable future. – Almost 5 years ago Julian Assange was permitted refuge at the Ecuadorian embassy in London, where he has resided ever since. In doing so, he has escaped all attempts by the Swedish and British authorities to execute the decision to surrender him to Sweden in accordance with the EU rules concerning the European Arrest Warrant. My assessment is that the surrender cannot be executed in the foreseeable future, says Marianne Ny.
According to Swedish legislation, a criminal investigation is to be conducted as quickly as possible. At the point when a prosecutor has exhausted the possibilities to continue the investigation, the prosecutor is obliged to discontinue the investigation.
– At this point, all possibilities to conduct the investigation are exhausted. In order to proceed with the case, Julian Assange would have to be formally notified of the criminal suspicions against him. We cannot expect to receive assistance from Ecuador regarding this. Therefore the investigation is discontinued.
– If he, at a later date, makes himself available, I will be able to decide to resume the investigation immediately, says Marianne Ny.
As a result of the decision to discontinue the investigation, the prosecutor has reversed the decision to detain him in his absence and withdrawn the EAW.
– In view of the fact that all prospects of pursuing the investigation under present circumstances are exhausted, it appears that it is no longer proportionate to maintain the arrest of Julian Assange in his absence. Consequently, there is no basis upon which to continue the investigation, says Marianne Ny.

If he's handed over to the British, he'll go to jail for his violation of the terms of his bail; there's already a warrant out for him for this. During this time, Sweden can decide to reopen the case, now that he's available, if they choose. The three misdemeanors (2x molestation, 1x unlawful sexual coersion) have hit the statute of limitations, but the rape filing has a couple years left before its statute of limitations expires.
The funny thing is that their simulated miles is only 4 times more than Tesla's real-world miles on active mode and 2 times more than Tesla in shadow mode.
At their current driving rate, it would take them over 130 years to match Tesla's active AP miles and double that to match its shadow mode miles.
They changed the config page because they completely redesigned the config process. They didn't just go in and take out references to the SR. The whole thing is new. The new version only includes options that can be purchased right now.
Maintaining a vacuum is non-trivial (for example, see large hadron collider).
Yeah, what's 10 orders of magnitude difference in the degree of vacuum?;)
The pumps used to move oil are a lot larger and higher power than the pumps you'd need to maintain 0,001 ATM, I guarantee you.
Oil pipelines are much smaller than what a hyper loop will need to be
On average, yes. But their net weights with the oil are much greater.
3) Your premise is false (see #4)
4) Your premise is false (a "puncture" does not destroy a vacuum line; industry uses vacuum lines all the time. This isn't a cartoon where a pinprick pops inch-thick steel like a balloon. Because they're designed by actual engineers to avoid this).
5) You're talking about an amount of effort vastly disproportionate to the potential damage / casualities. There are much softer targets.
I’m talking about air locks retard. They will take 10 minutes each to get down to base pressure.
I literally just explained why that's A) not true, and B) would be irrelevant even if it were true, since you can have as many airlocks as you want in parallel.
And your retarded idea of using multiple tanks already under vacuum won’t work because you need to replenish the vacuum in them
Obviously. But only to a relative pressure level. For example, if you had 1m of free space around the capsule, and your tanks were each 100m, and you scaled down by an order of magnitude in pressure with each tank (e.g. 3 tanks), the pressure in each tank would only rise by ~10%. So the pressure inside the tanks remains relatively constant, which is important for pumping efficiency. Even better than giant tanks is smaller, more numerous tanks, so the pressure difference between stages is less.
negating any advantage you would have pumping the airlock directly.
It's not about getting a mechanical advantage (it's a small mechanical disadvantage); it's about speed of emptying a capsule airlock. You can equalize with a tank virtually instantly - fractions of a second if you want. The tanks, on the other hand, can (proportionally slowly) be pumped back out. Airlocks equalize as fast as you want. Tanks only need to be pumped at a rate matching the average rate of launches. And you can - to a lesser extent - do things in reverse for arriving capsules, to help empty the tanks (although they have to be paired with a tank one pressure level higher than they are). In a perfect world, with an infinite number of tanks, there would be no airlock pumping losses at all. Obviously you can't reach that, but you can approach it.
Regardless, it's a silly point because we're talking only small amounts of air around the capsule. Evacuating a couple cubic meters per minute to 1/1000th atm is a very minor task. The airlock will obviously be designed to match the contours of the capsule. Wouldn't be surprised if they could get it down to a tenth of a cubic meter or so. Depends on the low-speed wheel design, how well they can match the capsule shapes. If they could handle it in a wheels-up config they may be able to get it another order of magnitude lower. But surely not worth the effort, since we're just not talking about that big of a pumping task.
Lol, we're talking about charge rates, not road speeds.:) Miles range added per hour spent charging. Commonly expressed when discussing with a US audience in MPH. Charge rates in the 480s when charging at low SoCs are common. Of course it drops once you start hitting taper.
Having said that, the 40 has a 100kW motor which is hardly "1980s" level acceleration, especially with a EV torque.
A 9,7 second 0-100 for a car in that price range is very much "80s-90s level acceleration" It's embarrassing. A base Honda Accord does it in 7,5 seconds.
So still better than the M3 SR, which Tesla stated has an EPA range of 220 miles. And don't forget it's cheaper.
And takes far longer to charge, from an inferior network, so what's the point 250 vs. 220 miles range? Price difference is minimal. Standard features far less. Limited availability. Mundane looks. Far slower. Far less interesting available options. No updates. And the other laundry list of things above.
It's like the difference between a Bolt and a Model 3. Do you see people lining up for the Bolt? Kona is far more similar to Bolt, BTW.
By the way, how do you know about Bjorn's review of the Kona steering assist? It's not out until the 25th due to a Hyundai press embargo.
Not that. His review of steering assist on the Ioniq, when he was in Korea.
There are two superchargers in the whole of Ireland. There are about 50 CCS sites.
There are four supercharger sites in Ireland, although two are next to each other. There's a fifth under construction. There's 32 open stalls, and after Enfield there will be 40. Is this really the best example you could come up with? One of the least supercharger-dense places in Western Europe?
Ignoring that they're vastly higher power on average: if you get to one, you can know that it will be A) operational, B) have stalls available, because they're well monitored / maintained and there's multiple chargers at every site. What do you do when you get to a CCS charger and its broken or taken? For example, I just randomly clicked at the four sites on the main east-west route, Dublin to Galway. Each one just has a single charger. This is not an acceptable arrangement. Let's check out their reviews, shall we?
Applegreen:
Jun 15, 2018; Seemed to have an issue yesterday and another chap with a phev had to be towed away before me after using the machine
Circle-K:
Jul 15, 2018: CHademo charging station stopped charging soon after start. The station was reset during phone call to ecars support and stopped again. We had to drive to different charge station.
Jul 8, 2018: CCS side is acting up. It starts and finished after couple of seconds with "Fast Charge Error" on my Ioniq. Same thing happened few months back. Be aware.
Nissan LEAF: Keeps cutting out after 5 mins
Jun 2, 2018: Leaf 40 using chademo sucessfully, when it finished card reader no longer worked...remote charge from ESB would not work. Charger rebooter remotely, would now read card but kept getting charger error both when tried directly by me and remotely by ESB. Limped onwards to kilbeggan
This Is Not Acceptable. Ignoring the terrible charge rates these people would be getting if they actually could charge. It's simply not okay to pull up to a fast charger needing a charge and not be able to do so. That's not acceptable if you want to be taken seriously as a car.
That's the LR. The SR is expected to be a lot slower.
No. LR's charge rate is usually charger limited up to 50%-ish. Not battery limited. Meaning its actual peak is somewhere much higher, since low SoCs allow for the highest charge rate. SR can be expected to start tapering from ~117kW at a lower SoC, but the only way it would just "plateau" at a lower height is if the charger was lower power, since LR is charger limited.
The Kona is smaller than the Leaf and Niro. The battery is much larger than the current model Leaf (40kWh, around 37kWh usable) and the M3 SR (50kWh, around 47kWh usable). It's 68kWh, with 64kWh usable
You apparently don't realize that the Kona comes in two versions: a 39,4 kWh base version and a 64 kWh upgraded version. It's important for you to know this for when you parse news about the Kona. The base version, beyond being underequipped, is also woefully underpowered - we're talking 1980s-1990s level acceleration.
So 25% larger than the M3 SR
But higher drag, since it's built on a not-nearly-as-streamlined ICE platform. Higher drag = longer charge times from a given power charging source (and it can't charge at as high powers to begin with, and most of its available chargers are low power) and shorter range. This can be seen in its WLTP range of 292 miles. WLTP range figures are about 15% more optimistic than EPA range figures (see the Leaf for an example), which corresponds to an EPA range of around 249 miles. And indeed, Hyundai is now saying that they expect it to be rated at around 250 miles.
Remember that we're talking about the large-pack upgraded Kona here, not the base Kona.
Realistic range is just shy of 300 miles
I really hate to disappoint you, but be disappointed. You want more "real-world range" than even WLTP, which is more optimistic than EPA, which is in turn more optimistic than the real world.
Hyundai EVs seem to be very efficient - the Ioniq certainly is
Because it's a small, quite streamlined sedan. It has nothing to do with any sort of internal magic tricks. The Ioniq Hybrid - aka, gasoline powered - gets 58mpg. In Europe it's rated at 4,1L/100km, vastly superior to the Kona. Now, it's a hybrid, but nonetheless, it's a very efficient car by virtue of its size and shape. Not its drivetrain. There simply is not much room for differentiation on DC motor/li-ion drivetrains by efficiency, because they're already so efficient.
Charging network obviously depends where you live. In parts of Europe it's better than the Tesla one, if there even is a Tesla network because they don't cover all EU countries
In no place where Supercharging exists (aka west of a line from Warsaw to Sarajevo) is it "better than the Tesla one". It's a mishmash of networks (some of which require membership), mostly 50kW/~43kW in practice (vs. 120kW/117kW in practice), often poorly maintained (yes, I watch people complain about dead CCS/CHAdeMO chargers frequently on our local FB EV group, and you can go through randomly selected CCS chargers around the world on Plugshare and for about 1 in 10 the last report shows it as being down), poorly spaced (high concentrations in some areas, low in others), often only one or two at a site (arrive and it's taken or blocked? Good luck!), etc, etc, etc. You seriously can't be saying with a straight face that it's comparable.
Charging speeds are rated for 100kW, the Ioniq has been seen doing around 80kW peak with a smaller battery so the Kona is actually very likely to be faster than the M3 SR which most people think will be around 70-80kW.
Where are you getting this stuff? Hyundai literally gives a charge rate on 100kW: 54 minutes to 80%. That's 220 mph. Less than half what Model 3s are getting today. But Model 3 charge rates are currently limited by the charger for the first half of the charge, not the battery pack (which is why V3 comes out later this year). Yes, the battery pack in the SR is 2/3rds that of the LR. But since the LR doesn't saturate at 120kW until 50% SoC (curve suggests a charger-unlimited max around 200kW), t

Yes, he has a warrant out for him for bail jumping in the UK.
For the record, the unexpired charge is:
The statute of limitations would have been hit in August 2020. #1-3 are already expired.

Lol, you realize that my link gets 11 times as many hits, don't you? ;)
Not that it even matters. Even if it only got *one* that would still mean that it's a term that's in use.
They changed the config page because they completely redesigned the config process. They didn't just go in and take out references to the SR. The whole thing is new. The new version only includes options that can be purchased right now.

I literally quoted from Wikipedia concerning the distinction. Sorry if you want to make up your own term.
That doesn't make the terms "hard vacuum" and "soft vacuum" disappear from the lexicon. It just makes them comparative rather than proscriptive.

You can't get an electric Kona in the US now for $35K. Or for any price. Go on, try.
And neither a Bolt, Leaf, nor Kona are in any way equivalent to a Model 3.
No change since the last investor call.
