It's on the plane, so it takes up some of the limited storage space, and increases the weight of the plane, which means more fuel burned.

Saying you carry the bag so there's no reason to charge for it is like saying you carry yourself onto the plane, so there's no reason to charge you for the flight ticket.

So either they build the average per-passenger cost into the price of every ticket, or they charge a fee only for people who want to take on the extra bag.

> “Since e-bikes do not require a license, drivers of e-bikes can simply ignore their traffic summons with no repercussions whatsoever, making any enforcement futile,” the police spokesperson said. However, the new requirement that cyclists appear in court, or face an arrest warrant if they fail to, creates “a strong incentive to show up in court.”

Cannot speak for its accuracy.

Anecdotally (London not NYC) I feel like I am "endangered" by e-bikes much more often than cars, because they seem to regularly skip red lights and come silently shooting out from the other side of a car while you are crossing, which a car simply cannot do. They are far heavier than a normal bike and seem to be closer to a small incredibly quiet moped.

Obviously lives-saved is the most important metric, but that doesn't mean the "feeling of safety" component is worthless. The comparison around deaths is only useful if those figures are primarily car deaths caused by running red lights.

I feel like the most sensible policy is requiring licenses for e-bikes above a certain power level (not easy!) and then bringing parity to the treatment of cars vs e-bikes after that

Intermittency is not "solved" with nuclear power. When French nuclear plants get shut down for months at a time for maintenance what happens? Lots and lots and lots of peaker gas.

When you combine the extreme cost, the non negligible risks of it going boom and the fact its a horrible peaker (no substitute for gas), and its only slightly lower reliance on peakers it becomes apparent that it's a terrible deal.

The reason why batteries and pumped storage and syngas arent popular is because they cant beat the economics of gas for peaking capacity. However, they can easily beat the economics of nuclear power+gas when combined with solar and wind.

So yeah, exorcising nuclear seems like a pretty fantastic idea, for cost, environmental and pacifist reasons.

That said: I'm not very familiar with how the caching works atm. If it always does a new lookup after a cache-hit to refresh it then what I'm wondering about is less needed?

Ty for the pointers.

if you ventured into farming or gamedev to get rich.. bad decisions all the way .

More often than not, I end up on Amazon product pages by way of The Wirecutter or other product review sites.
