Traffic fines are made to bankrupt drivers or to finance the state, but to encourage people to drive safely.
Yeah that really depends on location...in Denmark the minimum fine for speeding is 160€, and that's if you're just more than 3kmph above limit...it just increases from there and ends with something like a 1000€ fine and them withdrawing your drivers licence (a new licence is going to set you back 2000€). If you're above 100% speeding the take the car too.
That's not going to be enough...the dude claimed "coast to coast" autonomous driving capabilities "by end of the year" back in 2016.
It's not just inconvenient, it literally makes large parts of the internet inaccessible, even important and useful parts that are not just memes and SoMe.
...Until they suddenly don't anymore
Providing 2-3 lines of explanatory context is hardly a research paper, but enough to illustrate reason behind a simple statement.
AFAIK, the author of this comic is somewhat of an asshat that exercises varying degree of censorship on a comic strip subreddit, based on their personal beliefs.
Them saying Joe Rogan's podcast is "toxic, diseased, and damaging to society" is not better critique than the other poster calling this comic dog shit. Both are just statements that provide no argument or reasoning behind the statements. Sure they could back it up with examples why it is so, but so could the other commenter, which would make either of those comments valid criticism, but without they are equally good (or bad) criticism.
There are charging stations with 40 chargers delivering +200kW each, they're powered by HV lines directly to transformers located at the charging stations. But most (all?) BEVs are only near max charging power for a fairly short period of time, and full occupation is also not seen very often. These large stations (and smaller too) are managed by load sharing, so in the theoretical case that 40 cars arrive exactly at the same time with perfectly prepared battery temperature and SoC and all connect at exactly the same time, they will just be capped by the chargers so the station doesn't exceed available power spec.
A 3D-printed data strip encodes instructions for the printer as holes in a plastic sheet, which open and close simple switches in the motor controller. These switches control the speed, direction, and duration of the motors’ movement, letting the data strip encode motion vectors.
LOL, he made a punch card controlled printer...that's really awesome and fun use of old tech.
Probably $3.5 tops
The EU also tariffs them heavily
Yes, to tip the scales back towards fair competition pricing by offsetting the subsidies the Chinese brands are getting from their government. It doesn't fully offset it though, they're still quite a lot cheaper than e.g. VW BEVs
All I think is "oh, that person is either a tattoo artist (and friends with a bunch of them too), or good friends with one". But thats just based off of my own experience, the people I know that are heavily inked are all tattoo artists or married to one.
I miss the whimsical everyday relatable bits this strip used to be...it's getting old with the non-stop political theme. Not that I don't agree with the stance, but as a non-US internet user I just...don't...fucking...care anymore.
