A: I often think about how the world is focused on the micro-movements of the bitcoin exchange rate versus the dollar. Bitcoin’s exchange rate depends a lot on non-Forex market. In Bitcoin the hash value is also used as a reference to the block itself, so somebody might say that...
This allows Bitcoin Core to fairly compare all transactions in the mempool based on their effective feerate whether or not those transactions have any ancestors. Pieter Wuille points out the P2P network’s lack of transaction propagation guarantee as the reason for rebroadcasting being necessary and notes work done to remove...

The woman in the Tesla wakes up at the very end of the most recent video taken by Joshua Cardena, after several seconds of the man saying ‘she is dead asleep.’ Tesla’s autopilot system is able to assist drivers, but it does not make the vehicle totally autonomous, the company’s...

Only Republicans would encourage running over demonstrators by indemnifying and pitting RWNJs and their vehicles against peaceful crowds. Because who knew that the “unintentional” weaponizing of personal vehicles was possible when pretending you’re driving a Tesla into a crowd of demonstrators. “Five states besides Florida introduced similar bills this year, granting some...
Speaking of criminal behavior, protesters left strongly worded placards and votive candles at Josh Hawley’s house, which he called vandalism and an attack on his wife and child by “antifa scumbags”. x So, they left signs (with words spelled correctly) and flickering candles. Those were very grammatical and polite “vandals.”—...
The neoliberals’ “free market” is not going to sequester enough carbon to save the environment. Even Warren Buffett isn’t willing to take a bet on surviving an impending climate crisis catastrophe, because “the rents are too high”. Existential threats have a critical reality, about which ruthless criticism is entailed. Even...
I’m Red Woodman, Senior Investigator for what we call the “Frog Court.” If I can just get through today, I can retire with a pension. But a whole bunch of new cases just hit my in-basket and I came to work to find a guy sobbing over a couple of baby...
First off, I want to say that Robin Williams has been and will forever be my all time favorite comedian. I grew up loving and idolizing Williams as both a performer and a person and the day he took his life and I teared up heavily. He truly was a...
Facebook said it has removed 220 Facebook accounts, 95 Instagram accounts, 28 Pages and 106 groups that comprise the violent Boogaloo-affiliated network. An advertising boycott is beginning against Facebook. x The real reason big brands are joining the Facebook boycott? It could be a “handy excuse” to cut ad spend,...
Summer is the time for distractions from the pandemic. Shuttle launches are also a spectacle that Trump attending makes a distraction from the pandemic. Driving is another distraction, especially road-trips like the Cannonball Run, still being run, if unofficially. And gas is cheaper, darn it. 26:38 2020 Captain Chaos 2019 Audi A8...

2020 is almost upon us, and there’s many people out there who will be making a New Year’s resolution to buy a new electric car during the course of the year. The number of offerings on the market keeps expanding every year, so what will this year look like? Join us...
We’ve all seen this annoying line of argument from people opposed to us cleaning up our act with respect to the environment: Oh, you FLEW over here, now didn’t you? You’re such a hypocrite – that airplane emits tons of CO2. But you did it because there’s NO OTHER REASONABLE OPTION,...
In the olden days, we often heard a refrain along the lines of: “Man, look at the MPGs on these cars in Europe! It’s ridiculous that we can’t get them over here.” Nowadays, it’s often of the form: “Man, look at the range of this upcoming European EV! I totally want...
Uh oh. Let’s start off by pointing out that not everything Volkswagen does is bad. Namely, while their EV production targets are still significantly lower than Tesla’s, of the “traditional automakers”, they have the most ambitious electrification programme. And that’s something to be commended. Indeed, when the other day VW’s head...
Every so often one encounters a myth about electric vehicles that's so odd it makes you scratch your head. When it happens just once, it's easy to dismiss, but when it keeps popping up, it becomes time to address it. In recent weeks, I've seen multiple people assert that, “Sure,...
Barring the early period of “too cheap to meter” optimism, nuclear power has consistently been more popular on K-Street than Wall Street. Curiously among political topics, nuclear power has its staunch ideologues on both the left and the right. Yet the place where it lacks support is perhaps where it needs...
1) Cobalt In High-Nickel Batteries: Does It Do Anything Useful At All? Of all of the components of a lithium-ion battery, cobalt has historically been one of the more expensive and controversial. The three most costly raw materials, generally, are battery-grade cobalt oxide (~$80/kg as of November, likely less now),...
Making EV news today: Hyundai and Tesla generate price dissatisfaction… but for opposite reasons! Tesla Prices Go Down? Some Existing Owners Angry In response to Tesla announcing a massive reduction in prices in the Model 3 to launch the $35k variant, most people were pleased by the price reduction. Some people, however, who...
Well, it's finally happened: Tesla has released the $35k Model 3. While the whole Model 3 programme had been previously moved forward two years, the failure to meet the accelerated timeline has been a regular source of criticism for Tesla over the past year. The new unveiling introduced a whole slew...
Congratulations to GM! And also, my sympathies. Because in late Q4, GM sold its 200,000th electric vehicle, triggering the start of tax credit phaseouts for GM electric vehicles. The timing appears to be a blunder. Unlike Tesla (my horse in the game!), GM (accidentally, it seems) tolled its 200,000th sale right...
One of the greatest, if not the greatest reasons that many people hesitate to switch to an electric vehicle is the fear of… “What if I can’t get There from Here”? Well, here’s the good news: You absolutely can. We’ll start with Teslas, as they’ve long been the road-tripping champions, and then move...
Big news today for the electric vehicle market, from two fronts…. Nissan postpones launch of 60kWh Leaf E-Plus Following the ouster and arrest of their CEO, Carlos Ghosn, Nissan has postponed the launch of the much anticipated Leaf E-Plus. Why does this matter? Not merely will the much larger pack greatly...
Sometimes it’s hard to keep track of how much the electric vehicle market has been changing year to year. Not only are growth rates spectacular — 54% annually globally — but the capabilities of each new generation of vehicles rises dramatically. It is this latter aspect that I wish to focus...
By now, I’m sure we’ve all heard the news: earlier this month, the Trump administration announced plans to reverse the Obama-era CAFE standards, effectively deciding to increase US oil consumption, pollution, and CO2 emissions. They’ve also set their sights on their next target to kill: CARB (the California Air Resources...

He was a panelist on 2011's The Car Show with Adam Carolla on Speed Channel.[3] In 1999, Neil received the International Motor Press Association's Ken...
A diary has been sitting around on the rec list all evening, and anyone just looking at the rec list would be given the impression that Elon Musk is a secret GOP plant, trying to hide the fact that he wants America to fall under a permanent reign of Republican politics....
Upfront: If you think that anything is justified against a person simply because that person is wealthy, this is not an article for you. If you think it’s okay to lie, mislead, or otherwise attack a person simply because of their financial status, consequences be damned, then you should probably...
This article got me thinking. It's about the launch of the world's first kilotonne-class electric freight ship (ironically, a collier): 70,5 meters long, 13,9 meters wide, dual 160kW motors, and 2,4 MWh of batteries, to take 2000 tonnes of coal on a 50mi / 80km trip. As waterborne shipping is one...
From our community: Last night, AKALib wrote a diary liveblogging the reveal of the new Tesla Semi — but unfortunately it didn’t get the attention that it deserved. The importance of this vehicle — and how impressive it is — cannot be overstated. For years, as electric cars have steadily shown that they’re...
It’s something you periodically hear whenever the topics of “electric cars” and “natural disasters” meet: fear. There comes an image of electric cars stranded across the roads, endless impractical lines for charging, while their gasoline-driving compatriots escape to safety. In the aftermath, there’s an image of people in their powerless...
I’ll keep this short and sweet, as I had to wake up really early for this and now need to go back to sleep 😉 Here’s the info unveiled today as the first 30 customers received their vehicles: ———————— Versions: 2 (small and large battery pack) Base price per...
Illinois' most embarrassing Congressman, John Shimkus, faced an outraged backlash for pro-fracking statements he made on facebook. He's already well known as a climate change denier and conspiracy theorist on the fringe of the energy debate. Although there's a long tradition of coal mining in his district, fracking is very...
