Your electric car will fall apart before its battery pack does, study finds
  • No, I'm comparing two used cars to the cost of an EV battery replacement. Also, I was generously rounding up the cost of the two cars. My total was actually $12,200. $9k for a 2006 Subaru Forester and $3,200 for a 1992 Miata.

  • Your electric car will fall apart before its battery pack does, study finds
  • How long does MG consider to be a lifetime? I'm daily driving a 32 year old car.

    Edit: Ok, I looked it up. It's an unlimited-mile warranty for the first 12 months. After that, it lasts up to 80,000 miles or 7 years, whichever comes first. This is less than the battery warranty for many other brands. This kind of advertising should be illegal, but they placed "lifetime" in quotes, so I guess everyone's cool with it. Actually, it looks like that might be the old warranty, effective in 2019. I'm having trouble finding the actual terms for the new warranty, but I wanted to correct myself first.

  • Bitcoin is Stupid and Does Not Deserve an Emoji (blog post)
  • No single wallet has even close to 1 million Bitcoins. It's a public block chain and you can find a list of the largest wallets in a website like this: https://bitinfocharts.com/top-100-richest-bitcoin-addresses.html

    Also, regarding the unfair advantage of the genesis block, Bitcoin's code was actually written in a way that prevents this balance from being transfered. It's forever locked in the wallet at this address: 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa.

  • So much for Blockchain's real life use cases
  • 5 Euros seems like a pretty standard fee for a Bitcoin transfer, which is insanely cheap for large transfers. Your 30 Euro transaction is more suitable for the lightning network, which handles off-chain transactions for much lower fees. The person you were responding to was specifically talking about the lightning network.

  • Disney heiress, wealthy Democratic donors say they won't finance the party until Joe Biden drops out
  • Disney pointed to Vice President Kamala Harris as a solid alternative to Biden, arguing she’d be able to defeat Trump.

    “We have an excellent Vice President.  If Democrats would tolerate any of her perceived shortcomings even one tenth as much as they have tolerated Biden’s (and let’s not kid ourselves about where race and gender figure in that inequity) and if Democrats can find a way to stop quibbling and rally around her, we can win this election by a lot,” Disney said.

    I'm not saying I agree with the choice, but she absolutely gives a recommendation, and elaborates on her reasoning.

  • True actual sailing games are underrated and a criminally underexplored genre of video game simulation... which is why Pancake Sailor is the next free game you should try!
  • I hope the $20 doesn't set you back too much! I think you're gonna really like it though. I already have about 77 hours of playtime, and most of that was before the recent ship-customization updates. I know early-access is a contentious subject, but the developers have been pretty steady with updates.

  • You have ZERO financial privacy
  • If you're in fear of 83 million Americans, or about 25% of the population, you should seek therapy.

    While your there, I hope you reflect on Marx's quote, "Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary."
