I agree completely. I am not trying to argue that everyone can or should go out and buy an EV.
I was specifically addressing the points that seemed to be claiming EVs are not the right direction for cars or engines to be advancing towarda, by pointing out that the barriers aren't blocking all paths.
My point is that we should be focused on the outcomes we want. It isn't really important that fossil fuels are a lot more energy dense if the electric cars can travel twice as far. They can't, but I'd be willing to bet we will get to that point with fossil fuels still being more energy dense.
But also as I mentioned in the comment you relied to, Nio have a vast network of battery swap stations where you can get a full charge in a couple of minutes, the same as filling up at a gas station.
The price of EVs are a problem, and not the only problem, but my point was that the specific things mentioned don't stop us having better EVs than ICEs, because we will get the same outcome in a different way.
Hey mate I'm just here for some friendly discussion, I'm not here to argue until I'm blue in the face.
There is a difference between your above points and the original claim.
Fuel density doesn't matter, what matters is how far you can drive on a charge.
Charge time doesn't matter if you can swap a battery in 3 minutes instead of waiting to charge.
For your new point of rare earth materials, this isn't related to the original energy density or charge time points, but high density batteries that don't use rare earth metals already exist, the problem is cost. That will change over time.
Also you're ignoring that fossil fuels are also dug out of the ground.
Although own an electric car, I believe range is still an issue. I was specifically addressing fuel density and charging time. EVs have their issues, but I believe they will be solved over time even though they are unlikely to beat an ICE in fuel density or charge rate for a long time. But I don't think those things are actually important, because the problem is solved in a different way.
Electric motors are a lot more efficient, and battery technology is quickly approaching the place where you can get the same range with an electric motor as with an ICE.
As for refuel rate, I spend no time waiting for my car to charge because it charges at home while I'm sleeping, so the refuel rate doesn't matter.
Plus the technology to battery swap is well in use for electric vehicles (see Nio, who have thousands of battery swap stations in China and some in Europe too). 3 mins and you have a full battery.
This is probably another reason why unicycles are less dangerous. People I know that do mountain biking end up in hospital from time to time from coming off at speed, speed on most unicycles is probably a lot lower. Though I thought geared unicycles existed?
You joke (I think?), but the people I know that do unicycling (including mountain-bike style unicycling, and unicycling Himalayan trails, and crazy stuff like that) do do an insane amount of training 😆
I'd guess it's because unicycles are used in a much narrower range of circumstances. Few people are being hit by cars commuting to work on a unicycle, nor are there many mountain-unicyclists getting injured.
I feel like there’s still a lot of unexplained jargon here. Perhaps you’re just wanting to keep it short and give a starting point for further research, if so, all good.
I’m thinking things like:
You explain Right To Work laws prevent Union Security Agreements. But don’t explain what those are.
There is a brief mention of illegal reasons to be fired, but it’s not really enough for someone to work out if they have been illegally fired
The standard for just-cause could be explained more, or linked to more info
Maybe the above points could have a link to another website that explains them?
I also feel like some things should have sources. For example, that Right to Work was misleadingly named for political purposes, that unionized workplaces get higher pay, that you can’t be fired for unionizing, the likely outcome of an NLRB judgment. I’m not saying these things are wrong, in fact they could be easy to find a source for, all the more reason to do so.
This is just some feedback, feel free to ignore, but I think if it were me reading I would appreciate links to more info and to back up claims as it would help me trust it a bit more.
I’m actually wondering how many Russian billionaires are celebrating today that the tax department has lost the records of all the tax bills they haven’t paid.
I’m wondering how Ukraine know they got all the backups. Maybe they only got one or two levels of backup?
The attack also reportedly resulted in the complete deletion of configuration files crucial for the functionality of Russia’s extensive taxation system, wiping out both the main database and its backup copies
Maybe they think they’ve deleted all copies of a decryption key?
How would a country’s tax department not have a backup system that can handle this? Surely they would know they are a prime target, and so have air-gapped backups in addition to an automated backup process?
Pretty much everyone uses Let’s Encrypt for their certs. They are free, and often built in to your reverse proxy.
Since you have multiple services, I’ll assume you have a reverse proxy set up. So just google Let’s Encrypt and the name of your reverse proxy and you should find a tutorial.
I’m not sure how using DynDNS impacts on this. If you have your own domain, use Cloudflare Tunnels. You install the software on your server, and it keeps a connection to Cloudflare. No port forwarding, no problems with IP addresses, you can use it behind CGNAT. It also will provide SSL for you for the browser to Cloudflare part, but I highly recommend still setting up Let’s Encrypt for the Cloudflare to Server part.
