What time horizon are you basing this on? It seems like most EVs will retain 70-85% capacity after a decade.

There likely isn’t data for anything beyond 12-15 years but I’m not sure that’ll matter given most people own cars ~7-8 years.

I tend to agree. Anytime I encounter negativity or cynicism of this level, it reminds me of a speech by David Foster Wallace: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ms2BvRbjOYo

Randomly came across your comment on this thread and took a few minutes to check out your sandbox env. Could totally see something like this taking off or getting bought out by a bank/Intuit/etc.

I may be a bit biased since I'm huge into personal finance, but hopefully you can target that segment and carve out a solid set of paying customers


Thanks. Lifestyle business would be the dream I think, but for now there's still some daylight between here and there.


Whole heartedly agree with this post. I didn't start meditating until my mid-20s and am just grateful to have discovered the practice at all.

Instead of swimming in your thoughts/emotions all day, meditation teaches you how temporary and fleeting they are. This helps you detach from them and not take your own thoughts so personally (if that makes sense). It's like you have a 50,000 foot view above your thoughts as they come and go.


This is awesome, congrats on the launch. As I work mainly on internal data platforms, is there any support for building cohorts without the need to opt in? Essentially we'll just sync with our user tables or do LDAP lookups to create panels


Yes, you can import your data (and synch in the near future), create cohorts and message them.

We then manage user consent & permissions for further comms / participation.

Drop me a line at ned@greatquestion.co if you want to see if this might be a fit


Thanks for the quick reply. I'll have a few other people on my team check it out and reach out if there is a solid fit. Good luck with everything! Definitely a promising product


I have to very much agree with this comment. I thoroughly enjoy using JIRA and Confluence. The two go hand in hand very well.

As many others have mentioned thought, it is abysmally slow. At least their Cloud offering is, which is the core product we use at my job. I've used older on-prem deployments though and they were lightning fast. Seems that they're deprecating this solution by 2024 though.

I recently completed a JIRA survey, and slowness was my number one complaint. Hopefully the Product teams read through those surveys or peruse HN. Everything else about JIRA works great for our Software Development needs.


You can try adjusting the height of the steering wheel? I run into the same issue in my E90 335d, but it's by choice as it's where I like the steering wheel to sit in relation to my seat position.

Very much agreed on the feeling and weight of the stalks. By far the best in the business. Especially for knowing the difference between a lane change vs. turn signal


Yeah that's exactly it. I run the wheel as low as it goes, it would have to be really high for the whole cluster to be visible. Thankfully I have the HUD which I use for speed, but it does not show turn signal indicators.

I have a Z3M where I can see all the instruments perfectly, but that's just because the steering wheel is fixed and much higher than I'd like.


This is way too accurate lol


fwiw, you can configure a 13" Macbook Pro with an Intel chip up to 32GB. But I agree, I wish they launched the new M1 based 13" Pros with up to 32GB RAM


It definitely would have been a way to differentiate the Pro and the Air rather than giving them identical SOCs.


The low end Air only has 7 GPU cores compared with 8 on the one with more storage. So they must be disabling a bad core and selling it the cheap model. Other than that all these machines use the exact same CPUs. Which means that an iMac or 16" MBP are probably going to use a M1X or something with more cores.


> So they must be disabling a bad core and selling it the cheap model.

I really don't know much (anything) about the hardware manufacturing world. Is this a common practice?


Yes. Chip fabrication is super sensitive to the condition of the silicon wafer used. Chip companies talk about yields, because some percentage of chips can't, for example, be run at the highest clock rate. Indeed, some can't run reliably at all. If there is a microscopic flaw on the wafer that ends up being where one of the cores is located, disabling that core altogether is an option to keep that silicon marketable.


Could be disabling but it could also be the fact to increase yields to their most appealing product.


Just wanted to echo this sentiment as well. I just replaced my 15" 2010 Macbook Pro and the thing still runs strong. A battery replacement and SSD upgrade in 2015 really gave it a second life.

It's unfortunate it no longer gets software updates and also is plagued by the GPU Kernel Panic issue. Otherwise, I would keep it longer.

Hoping my new 2020 13" can last at least half as long!
