How would they decide that some computation was "needless"? If it was the best they could do at the time I'd argue it wasn't needless. If they were intentionally wasting CPU/energy for no reason it would be a different story.
No, smoking is usually defined as smoking daily. But there's so few people that smoke less-than-daily that they aren't usually included in these sort of studies so it's harder to say what sort of effect it has.
Plug for thisplacewillbewater.com - they have a great map of what 4C warming will look like and you can also buy biodegradable stickers to post around and raise awareness if you live in an area that will be underwater.
No, I think it's saying that your client only does this at the request of the keybase server to create an initial XLM address for the user, not that it will on-demand add random stellar addresses to the user's profile.
EDIT: See malgorithms's comment; it doesn't even do this much
You might be interested in what Extinction Rebellion is doing. If they're organizing in your area already, I strongly recommend you go see their "Heading for Extinction" talk in person, but their website covers it pretty well too. Their basic idea is 1) yes we are barreling towards extinction of humans and many other species, 2) nothing anyone has done so far has prevented this acceleration, and 3) non-violent direct action (aka civil disobedience) has the best chance of affecting the quick and drastic changes needed to avert the worst effects of the climate crisis.
Neat video, really drives home how essential super chargers are to the usefulness of electric vehicles. Sitting for 12 hours in a trailer park to get another 200 miles of range is insane.
Also, this guy has some serious driving PTSD or something, he's so scared of cars that he thinks its dangerous to drive on an empty highway at night. Yikes.
Most super chargers are within about 120 miles of each other, so at 65mph, you have about 2 hours between them. They've done a pretty impressive job building out the infrastructure
I thought that most people wanted to avoid having to stop their trip for charging while driving because it takes too long (I don't even like to stop for gas and it is much quicker)... it's weird that you would not choose the best solution to your problem (and spend more money while doing it), but I guess some people don't care about time or money.
Also, what are those white spots on the map? Unpopulated areas with no charger in a 2h radius?
Your idea of what a tesla is like is far off. My 2012 tesla can drive over 250 miles. If I really gun it in the winter in the mountains its over 200. Then 30 mins charging at a supercharger. The new S can go over 370 miles without charging. 60 miles an hour * 4 hours, people stop to eat or pee.
I'm talking about a round trips of course... so you have to cut that in half if you can't or don't want to charge while on your trip (if you want to be able to come back home).
Most of the car trips that I do are round trips... and I would guess that yours are too?
I see what you are getting at. I don't have to go round trip very often and worry about charging because I have enough range, but also because because there are chargers everywhere and I can charge on the way back if needed. Most trips I take are within round trip range of my car. of course it's more convenient not to have to charge.
plugshare.com is a good site that shows all the chargers. supercharge.info is a 3rd party site that shows tesla chargers only, plus where the ones under construction are. tesla.com has one too.
I go skiing a lot, and there's one thing you learn - you use a lot of energy going uphill. An ev has much more accurate energy usage so you notice, gas cars of course use more energy doing more work too. But the huge difference is going back, going downhill, your electric car basically glides down hills for free, and because you are recharging the battery when you do moderate breaking, I can drive 20+ miles back and end up with more range than I started out with.
In Seattle I can easily go round trip to the 3 ski areas around town.
Basically I don't worry about it because I could charge on the way back if I needed it, and in 6 years of day trips I only charged once or twice on the way home - the one I remember was when I went to mt rainier for a week with no charging.
