d12bb | 4 years ago | on: One gemini battery nearly doubles Tesla Model S range

And even if we had 100% renewables tomorrow, cars would still be incredibly inefficient (2 ton car for most times only 80 kg load (aka one human)), loud, dangerous for everyone not in a car, expensive for owner and state, etc…

> I live in the city

Then you probably don't need a car, unless you have special needs or your city is some car-centric shithole (like, sadly, most cities outside the Netherlands are to a point, even in Europe, which often gets praise from US bike/public transport advocates).

Ok looked it up: Steam switched to CEF in 2010 (announcement read „WebKit based“), CEF3 with Blink was considered stable and recommended in 2013. So they probably used a WebKit base for at least these three years. But, unless they still use CEF1, it’s not WebKit anymore today.

The engine is HTML. No more is needed to give me the information I want, though CSS and images are certainly nice. JS would be more like the infotainment system: Sometimes nice, sometimes annoying, sometimes dangerous.

To say it the other way round: Use HTML/CSS for information purposes (JS where needed, nice explanatory animations etc), get back to using real nice native code for applications, using the OSes capabilities to the fullest, providing an experience integrated with the rest of the OS, having full performance.

You can export whole projects as one-file markdown (or HTML, RTF), worst case being having to go through every project, exporting and splitting the file up (by a script), or turn the agenda folder somewhere in ~/Library (contains bunch of json) into something usable via script, but I agree, it lacks a reasonable solution for getting it all out at once.

An average lifespan of about for years is just huge, even if this probably is pushed a lot by Macs having a longer lifespan than phones.. On the other hand, my mother still uses the iPhone 4S I handed down to get than I got my 6.

> If nature could fix everything with no intervention we wouldn't need to brush our teeth either.

Well, I'm not saying nature actually can fix everything, but in case of toothbrushing, it's dependent on your diet. There are peoples knowing nothing of brushing, but they feeding themselves different than we "civilized" people are.

Reminds me reading on some guy phoning his lyft drivers whether they're using Waze for a similar reason some days ago, may have even been on HN.

On the other hand, I in the starting days of apple maps noticed them having a baker in my neighbourhood twice. They got back via email I think a week or two after me reporting it, and a couple days later it was fixed, so maybe you're just not lucky here..

> people know how to distinguish reality from fantasy/entertainment

So you think 15-year-olds who never experienced sex know how to distinguish reality (sex with a real partner) from fantasy (porn). Where would they have the knowledge how real sex is from?
