It will be key to understand short term maintenance costs too.

I am guessing regen is a big factor

ilikeatari··on We're Not Even Close to EVs Being as Cheap as Gas Cars, Mercedes Says
The reality is that there is not a lot of data on this. People always talk about fuel/energy cost but that is just one of many components. Also there is no conversation about full TCO cost especially on heavy duty side. I get it, emotionally we are exited about EVs but there is still a lot of work to make this sustainable. Source: my company provided data and support for NREL TCO analysis for LD ice vs ev vehicles.
ilikeatari··on Ask HN: Has anyone in their company replaced BI tools completely with Notebooks?
Depends bit on audience and if you are managing other parts outside of notebooks. Like pipelines dags etc. notebooks can be tricky if you stuff too many responsibilities into them.
ilikeatari··on NYC allows citizens to report idling vehicles in exchange for a cut of the fines
To clarify this tech already exists.

How about automatic idle mitigation systems? Just automate it on truck level. Cost is low and at scale would be very minimal. Also if you are worried about ambient cab temp, you should not be too worried.
ilikeatari··on US schools can subscribe to an electric bus fleet at lower prices than diesel
Yes, makes sense from the districts perspective, but I meant from sustainability of the business model perspective.

Personally I am very exited about it but we lack data that does allow us to do proper TCO comparison of ICE vs EV on the heavy duty side. Also how does V2G economics actually work if you are trying to optimize for the lowest charging rate (usually during night to avoid peak)? If you are in V2G mode after 6 pm i assume you would need to start charging at night during cheapest rates and assure that the bus is charged by 5 am. Wouldn't this require 1 to 1 charger to bus ratio as you might not have enough time to swap? Wouldn't then infrastructure costs(chargers that are build and concrete around it) skyrocket?

Is there a specific data set you are referencing? How about other components like Ownership and Support?

How about paid businesses models? Aren’t we ripe to start these now?

Yes! Let’s document: -time away from the internet(slow thinking) -stick shifts -food optimized for taste and not size or look(US view here) - so many more
ilikeatari··on Fundamental physics sees worlds in grains of sand and infinities in hours
Interestingly enough most of these are also possible because of advancements in physics.
ilikeatari··on American parents are sending their kids to 'Russian math' (2017)
I also had a similar experience both on the US and Polish side. The US math exercises that I experienced through my niece were really much more focused on reading comprehension, but almost hoping that the student trips up. Maybe its because I am not a native speaker, but this seemed to be not constructive to the task at hand.
ilikeatari··on Poor in Tech
Other then underpaid like in the other comment another way is to expose yourself out of the bubble. Volunteering if done right can expose you out of it.
ilikeatari··on I tried out-training my diet for 18 months
Thank you. I took it really slow and first few months I did IF and skipped breakfast. Then one time a week started skipping all meals in 24h period. Finally I got to the point were skipping meals for 48h was possible with water and bone broth if I am really hungry. All of this seemed impossible if I had something carby or sweet day before. For some reason it’s much easier if I have veggies/unsaturated fat and some protein. In terms of sleep I experienced same issue. I was so energetic and could not sleep as long. It went away 3ish weeks in.
ilikeatari··on I tried out-training my diet for 18 months
I had a similar experience. In 2014 I was up + 40 lbs, started exercising and lifting heavy 4 to 5 times a week. I did clean my diet just a tiny bit and did loose 15 lbs or so. But amount of work was insane. Now in 2019 I started fasting and biking for fun and BAM! 25 lbs down with so little effort. I always struggled to do this. I always was amazed how people can eat clean and smaller portions constantly. For me not eliminating but minimizing sugar and carbs to some extent helped with cravings. Also just skipping a meal is so much easier now if I am not all carbed out! Also mentally fasting fits better for me. Life happens, I will eat cake :-) But after feast, there will be fast.
ilikeatari··on Ask HN: I can't do development any more, what should I transition to?
That is an interesting point of view. What if you choose to be no BS project manager or no BS product manager etc. Unless you mean the BS that comes from dealing day to day with humanity?
ilikeatari··on Automatic (Car Adapter) Shutting Down
Thank you for doing that. I really wish they did open source their apps also.
ilikeatari··on Fake Goods Sold by AliExpress, Amazon, eBay, Walmart and Wish
I am not sure why you are getting down voted but I did want to expand on this. I have a somewhat similar philosophy, though I still buy low value items from Amazon. What I discovered that online stores that have a truly seamless experience (for example well implemented apple pay etc) remove so much friction that the amazon option becomes less appealing. The issue is still with items that you would not know where to source from directly (like replacement part for a dishwasher) but these are usually low cost items anyway.
ilikeatari··on Most Amazon-Owned Private Label Brands Have No Warranties
Ok, what about environmental considerations? This seems very inefficient.
ilikeatari··on Ask HN: How to find business problems to solve as a data scientist?
#2 is somewhat problematic. I would suggest finding someone in your organization that truly knows the business you are in and it’s day to day challenges. Identifying this person or people might be hard but it is crucial. Establishing true and open relationship with this person or group is the next step. It has to be genuine. Once that’s established you will see the stream of real pain points and it will be your job to map them into data science opportunities. An alternative option is to shadow day to day ops crew and distill requirements that way.

It looks like that the core team included: Marian Rejewski, Henryk Zygalski ,Jerzy Różycki. These were the most talented students from prof. Zdzisława Krygowski from UaM https://amu.edu.pl/ which is a university located in Poznan.

ilikeatari··on Ask HN: What is the best way to quickly launch a website?
One of the other options not mentioned is Squarespace. I launched few sites that look good and I liked the design esthetic.
ilikeatari··on Ask HN: Shortest route to $60K+ salary without college

Huge shortage of talent.

I agree the autoplaying is annoying. I did however find value in the content. How to properly label that this link has a video that autoplays?
