  • However, they are appealing the judgement.

  • Which model was it that overheats in the gulf because the water is too warm?

  • It can't go above 9% of salary though. Treat it like a tax unfortunately.

  • Language: C#

    I aimed at keeping it as simple and short as reasonably possible this time, no overbuilding here!

    I even used a goto to let me break out of multiple loops at once ๐Ÿคฎ (I had to look up how they worked!) I would totally fail me in a code review!

  • Personally, I think that watching satellites is awesome too.

  • Done in C# Input parsing done with a mixture of splits and Regex (no idea why everyone hates it?) capture groups.

    I have overbuilt for both days, but not tripped on any of the 'traps' in the input data - generally expecting the input to be worse than it is... too used to actual data from users

  • Thank you for this! I always find out/remember about it half way through...

    First day done and work leaderboard link shared!

  • Mad cow disease can (sometimes/possibly) take decades to have an effect. If you are some infected meat and have the wrong genetics you could wind up with a sponge for a brain 30 years later.

    Prions are terrifying.

  • How many people can't finance that though, they are going to be on a ridiculously high interest loan that will way outstrip the fuel savings.

    The second hand market won't be there for years (you can get a just about works petrol car ridiculously cheap) and who knows what their batteries will be like at that point

  • Good point, just delete the second paragraph...

  • Lots of fuels (like petrol) are a lot more energy dense than out best batteries. If we can synthesize fuels like that just using electricity as an energy source (that can be generated from renewables) then you have a carbon free dense store of energy that can be used to power a vehicle for a long distance without refueling.

    The problem with these (fuel cells etc) is that the conversation rate is inefficient, wasting a lot of energy. As we are not using 100% renewable energy this means carbon is being released still.

    If we had an entirely renewable energy grid (with oversupply when sunny/windy etc) then those energy losses would not matter.

  • I'm going to say that if you can charge at home, then electric cars are awesome, otherwise a HFC style car might be better.

    Both are going to require significant infrastructure build out, but electric chargers are much easier to install.

  • I'm going to say that less than 30% of houses here in the UK have a garage/carport etc (either individual or shared).

    Most of the individual garages will be sized to fit an old mini, not a modern car (even a small one)

  • Imagine they had told him and he binned it. Probably a good choice by the pit wall.

  • OK, updated then. Thanks for that investigation ๐Ÿ™‚

    I forgot I could look at the citations to see where they came from
