At 3.18pm on 10 May 2018, Stefan Meier lost control of his Model S on the A2 highway near the Monte Ceneri tunnel. Travelling at about 100kmh (62mph), he ploughed through several warning markers and traffic signs before crashing into a slanted guardrail. “The collision with the guardrail launches the vehicle into the air, where it flips several times before landing,” investigators would write later.
The driver crashed, it doesn’t sound like it was in self driving mode.
They don’t have a uniform
Indeed, but cheaper than enough batteries to cover those times
In the off grid home scale one I’d size and set the generator to run for several hours in a row to fully charge the battery on days when the battery was at a sufficiently low charge entering the night, at least that’s what my current modelling suggests. Diesel gensets work best when running fully loaded for at least long enough to warm up
I guess at grid scale you find the sweet spot where most years the gas power station and batteries are balanced to provide cheapest power averaged over the year
The diagram shows that they fall short on winter mornings
My own modelling to decide what size battery I want for my house says it’s easy almost every day, but when you have three rainy and overcast days in a row you need a battery far larger or an alternative. For me the alternative is the grid; at grid scale it’s gas generators

Hope our instances last that long
It should work for ages, compared to the cheap compressor that came with the fridge that lasted 3 years. It’s a thousand dollar fridge new, so the repair was about the cost of replacing it, but I won’t need to replace it in another 3 years
I did this only two weeks ago, so all I really have is expectations
It’s less noisy than the previous compressor
What else could he do? If he tried to help her and burnt his Trump flag he’d be deported too
Now you play in honour mode
Some of it is. Like any genre there’s good and bad incosmic horror
The problem with microwaves is the ones from the '80s were far less powerful than new ones
I guess you assign no value to the waste of using 3 to 4 times the number of machines
Your product would be about three times the price of the cheap shit.
It might work in the current world with good advertising - Smarter Every Day (on YouTube) is part of a project to make a better, made in America, barbeque brush cleaner
There are a few companies now selling better quality stuff successfully, but I have seen no one doing so in whitegoods
I spent a thousand dollars replacing the cheap compressor in my fridge because I asked the repair guy to replace it with better quality than it originally came with, and he used a commercial (as opposed to residential) grade compressor that was three times the price
But aside from a short lifetime, the big problem with cheap AC motors is they’re imprecisely built and often waste more electricity as heat and noise than they put into their output shaft
Of course even with the better stuff there still “cot death” where a new product fails almost immediately (because noone tests their products), but at least those failures are under warranty, the cheap motors typically last at least a few years
It is specifically about causing an imagined future crisis to happen as soon as possible to get to the imagined golden age following it
I use keepass, it’s a little more work than many closed source ones, but it’s only as online as you want it to be, and runs on anything
My “smart” bulbs are at the less online end of the spectrum, they host local wifi or bluetooth for configuration via their app, but even that can bite you
I added a wifi range extender to address the problem of stuff at one end of the house regularly losing connection and needed to point one of a particular brand at the new wifi
Its app hadn’t been updated and I needed to dig out my old phone stuck on an old version of Android to set the bulb up again
You lost a bit of credibility when you misspelt atoms
A stuck pedal turns the steering towards the barrier? I think the driver had a stroke or heart attack and stopped steering
