I believe dropping and catching new battery pack in the air is the way to go as well! Electric motors are smaller and can enable stationary flight. So stopping to change your pack is maybe a solution.

The code looks so much error prone. That's scary! (+1 -1, string constant, boolean parameters)

They should introduce some functional programming into this!

Nuclear does scale up and down very fast. Reference : https://hal-edf.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-01977209/document

However because upfront construction cost is high, you want to use nuclear reactor as much as possible.

This is not optimal UX, for me. For this one,I soon as the date is far from the starting date, you have to click/swipe an insane amount of time.

It might not be they progress we are hopping for. We still have to pay for the repair. Increasing the devices guarantee from 2 to 5 years (maybe 10?) is probably better. Then it will be on producers to provide long lasting devices.

Just for fun, same sentence on health care.

> I'm so happy about this. Private health care insure are the scum of the earth. They're totally antithetical to a free society that values human life. They often lobby for minimum health care coverage in law (effectively requiring by law a certain percentage of citizens to be marked as clients). Any profit they skim off the top is money that should be spent on research and education. Next up should be criminalizing charging huge quantities for basic health care by private hospitals and the usurious fees on drugs.

I'd wager $1 in their pockets costs society easily 10X that.

Great but they should avoid burning wood in highly populated area. Because it is generating a lot of small particules, worse than a car.

This is about Australia, which is not like our average developed country with no primary ressources. When you have one sector in your economy producing most of the export, you have a lot of trouble to have a high level of good job in another sector to export. Your currency exchange rate and cost of life is being driven by your main exportation. Countries rich in oil or other primary resources are like that.
