I think there was a Renault that worked like this. I think the main issue is that you need a decently sized battery that can supply enough power or else the ICE needs to start every time you hit the gas pedal like was the case with the older Prius models and then you might as well connect it to the wheels and you can have a smaller electric motor.

But batteries keep improving and you can pull more power per kWh now. Maybe with solid state batteries this power train could become the more affordable option.

That is the case in Belgium.

It is not enforced tho. If you didn’t register as a donor, they will still ask the relatives, especially of they need to keep the body on life support after the person is declared dead.

Most isn’t the right word. In countries where the government doesn’t or can’t keep the cost is meat down, a lot of people don’t east meet daily as it’s more expensive than other food sources. Gigantic subsidies for meat and diary exist in the US, EU, China, Brasil,…

Most of the world does indeed eats little to no meat, especially red meat. In the EU, these kind of subsidies also exist.

I start writing the implementation and get the “variable not defined” error and then let the ide add the declaration. It’s less keys to press and misspell.

About D, you could also be programming robots, PLC’s or thermostats 🤷‍♂️

IMO they should just remove the equality operator on floats.

They also couldn’t call it “.Net Core 4” so they called it “.Net 5”

Will they keep skipping numbers or start thinking about not naming everything the same.

Yes it will probably also mean buying less, smaller housing and less private cars. But it would also make alternatives viable that just can’t exist right now and make less polluting solutions cheaper cause of scale (like what now happens with solar panels) and they wouldn’t even need much subsidies to get them off the ground.

That it will hurt is also why I think it will never happen cause any government that takes big steps will not be in office for 4 years. It can also only happen with:

• Higher minimum wage
• Adorable and risk free loans for energy reduction
• Social adjustments as the lowest wages are the most impacted (can be paid for with the taxes)

Why wouldn’t it help the environment? The only way producers can pollute less is if it would cost less money. It will and can only happen if it pays to produce less co2
