I've always wondered how many people would be driving electric cars if it wasn't for the state/Fed subsidies (rebates) or other benefits like Leaf's free charging.
I've always wondered how many people would be driving ICE cars if they had to pay to remove the CO2 that they are pumping into the atmosphere.
I would say currently about 70.9% of new sales. That is the case in Norway so far with heavy taxes on ICE cars and no taxes on electric.
You are mostly correct. Consider the strongest Tesla at 581kW. Assuming we do the same in one 48VDC motor we are talking more than 12kA !! Even more on the AC motor side. Even ignoring the massive wires (well bus bars) and converter costs, I don`t think this would be any safer than any higher voltage system, which is the general reason for going 48V.
I`ve tested short circuits with 24V systems with 100A capability, and the arc is scary as fuck without a contactor to do the contact. I did it once by hand thinking it was safe, got a huge fireball as plus hit ground, bounced it slightly before reconnecting and the wire caught fire and welded stuck surprisingly quickly. With 12kA nominal capability I can`t even imagine. And the di/dt effects of parastic inductance could make all kinds of interesting effects
That said, for a low end hybrid I can see it work. For instance a 16kW system with 400A could be doable.
What? Did you read anything about the conquests of muhammed? 600+ years before any famous Khan was around, Islam was plenty violent already. Even in a brutal time, he would top off most the lot.
Subjective stuff I guess. Me on the other hand throws a sigh for every brace I have to write. Or even sometimes move to make another original authors program intent readable.
Ive only ever encountered a problem with the whitespace when tabs are mixed with spaces. Which really was a major mistake to allow. But as long as its edited in an IDE, they all protect against using tabs for whitespace anyway these days.
16$ for the allwinner is not true. I remember a few years back some of their cortex a9 chip made lots of problems for the industry that they sold it for around 5$. I wouldnt be surprised if its even cheaper now.
But even if it were true, they havent offered a single CHIP for 9$ yet. Only 29$ + "free shipping". Shipping something like this from shenzhen would cost around 1$. So it`s really a 28$ module so far. Hardly a loss leader by todays standards. You can already today get android phones with touchscreen, gsm, camera, gps and a battery added in as well for 7$ more(35$).
Flamebait responding to flamebait. Who wants to respond to this?
Well me apparantly, since I don`t get this comparison that frequently comes up. The geographic knowledge of internal states of a nation is more detailed knowledge than geographic knowledge of reasonably sized nations. Not just a size thing either. Wyoming is big, but Sakha is 12x bigger, and most people still don`t know its location.
Oh I`m pretty sure you wouldn`t want to be near any sort of metal penetrated high voltage super capacitor. I mean high voltage, low ESR, high energy density, short circuit. What could possibly go wrong.
On the other hand. With so much energy and power density, there is so much that could go right!
Economically viable large scale fusion reactors would hardly make a difference on oil countries. Grid power generation from petroleum amounts to around 5% (only 1% in the USA). In cars the electricity is already considered next to free compared to the price of battery through its lifetime. And batteries are not energy dense enough yet to power long distance planes and ships. So I believe it would not do much to the Saudis.
Is this really the case though? It seems like every time I think I`ve found a grass root revolution, there would actually be a 1% guy pulling the important strings.
They got these at the price of around a windows phone license on top of everything else. If you look at low end phones they always cap at the 32GB limit, or the license would become a very significant part of the total price.
Its important to note that it was really a 29$ computer with shipping included. I remember during the campaign even if you wanted 100 pieces, you would still pay 29$ x 100. And with that price I can already buy a tablet with the tablet stuff for a similar price with shipping included (currently listed as 31$).
If obese persons would get a pass, what about tall people? Or female vs male? At the same level of obesity, a 2 meter tall man will weigh a lot more than a 1.5 meter girl. Nah rather just follow the laws of physics.
I dont think its clear from the video, but if its actually doing the entire realtime engine control process loop on the raspberry pi, then Id say hats off to PREEMPT_RT. Not something windows could do. Using a rb pi is a decent demo of low resource usage.
Price of any stock will go up when the demand is higher than the supply. And if supplier business is truly not currently economically viable, less fields will be used for cocoa, supply will go down, and price will go up again. No need to talk about what one ethically "should" pay for it.
Given the ownership of the land in question was and is arguable, I think you overstate your case. The Mexicans fired on US troops who where occupying land that Mexico understood the US had annexed when they admitted the Republic of Texas into the union. They knew full well that a war could be the result of this action, but they did it anyway. They then lost the SECOND attempt to retain this land by force, this time to the USA...
The Mexicans shot first. But its not as if the annexation of Texas supported by illegal american immigrants isnt an act of war either. Apparently said immigrants were not happy about Mexico abolishing slavery. Mexico didnt have the military might to win the war, but you cant blame them for being upset about it.
BUT, the real clincher is the sale of additional lands to the USA. Had Mexico felt it had a claim to the lands taken previously, why on earth did they sell *more* land to the USA? I think that clearly establishes that Mexico had dropped all claims to the lands to the north of the purchased land and wanted to establish a well defined border with the USA which stands to this day.
They knew they had lost, with no opportunity in sight to win their land back.
Did we take territory from Mexico during a war? Of course, during the war we actually took ALL of Mexico, seems to me we gave a lot of it back and I'd bet that the people who live there now wish we had kept it all. Also don't forget that this war was to protect the disputed areas called Texas which had already declared it's independence and then joined the Union in 1845. Territory that had gone though multiple country's hands, including France, Spain before Mexico ended up with it. But this war was initiated by Mexico's attacks, and when the USA totally defeated Mexico, we gave most of it back to them.
Not to take away from your speech, but I believe you are severely downplaying the Mexican conquest. Mexico lost almost half their territory, while USA increased almost 50% in size. I wouldnt be so quick to mark Mexico as the first agressor in the war either. Pre independence, Texas was first pretty much conquered by US settlers, in a somewhat similar fashion to how the Muslim arabs conquered Lebanon from the Christian arabs.
Not that this changes how the USA is good or bad today
Yes thats a good price if he delivers the project. He is simply pointing out the great difference between Indiegogo and kickstarter, where in the former if you miss project target funding, you may still keep all funding without delivering anything to funders.
We should subsidize some fish laser mounts so they can protect themselves. Or maybe some sort of shark police. Preferably some combination of some sort:)

Left turns should be enough for everybody
I`m no tax expert but I believe it`s done like this:
I believe you will not have to pay income taxes more than once. At least as long as you keep the money in the business set up in the low tax country.
42 digits should be enough for anyone ;)

What sort of standards are these? IEC low voltage rules apply all the way up to 1500V DC.
I would definitely start donating huge sums to random slashdot posters ;)
Yep, sorry about that :P
