One detail usually overlooked with having a fleet of electric cars is the added weight of the battery and the extra wear and tear this will create on our highways. There is a rule of thumb that says that highway damage goes up by the 4th power of the axle weight. So an electric car that is 33% heavier than the an ICE car, will cause (4/3)^4 = 3.16 times as much damage.
So if we all go to electric cars and if batteries do not become lighter, then expect road to not last as long. Also, concrete production itself is a serious CO2 source.
I believe he does not hold true title to his car. He has a certificate of title. The title is held by the state who employ him as a chauffeur. His loaning the car to someone who speeded violates his licence agreement as a hired chauffeur employed by the state.
The problem with perl is that perl programmers think they can replace thousands of lines of C with 50 line perl programs. Then you find errors like searching thru multicolumns of data for a string, when in fact what you wanted is to search column six only. It 'works' until someone uses that string in column 2. Etc. I switched to haskell a long time ago. It still shocks me that people especially in the chip and computer industry still depend on it so much.
How bout not making tech careers that end at age 40?
Or that are less likely to outsourced?
I was a tech person and based on my experience cannot recommend it to anyone. The only stable jobs are working for the government or a power utility.
Being overrun first by primitive Mongol hordes that looted their wealth. This is like saying the Romans were advanced before the Christian crazies took over.
