The Tesla Model S has been out for almost 13 years, so you can already see it.
Your phone doesn't have liquid cooling temp management and is probably recharged daily. With a car that has 300 miles range, a lot of people probably only do a full cycle every week.
So 7000 to 8000 euros to replace a battery of a 80 to 100k car?
It depends on how many miles it has driven and how much other maintenance the car has had. It's a big expense but a battery dying is probably comparable to a timing belt breaking, those aren't cheap either and thats not even for luxury cars...
First of all, as your article shows, batteries rarely need replacement at all, even at very high mileage. And those are old vehicles, battery management and cell chemistry are much better now.
We had a 2010 Ford Transit van (diesel) and after 189000km, we sold it because the parts were becoming too hard to source (disclaimer: in New Zealand).
13 years old dead luxury cars are worthless, yes, especially when the tech is quickly evolving. That doesn't say anything about how long it takes for them to die or how reliable the tech is.
org-mode is just much more complicated to implement though and just contains so much. it's also a todo app. It also lets you run code like a python notebook. it can show you your tasks in a calendar.
I've used "org-mode" todo apps on android, but people complain they can't really use it because it doesn't implement everything.
The advantage of the core markdown syntax is that you know it works everywhere and it works everywhere because it's small and easy to implement.
I think the implementation challenge is the reasoning behind https://karl-voit.at/2021/11/27/orgdown/
So you can say "my org-mode parser implements orgdown level 1" meaning it has the basics. I think it sounds like a pretty good idea, though it's kind of a third party effort – it'd be better if there were some officially sanctioned compatibility level standard from the orgmode authors.

So just implement the features it has in common with Markdown and add the rest as and when people ask for them.
For me, org-mode syntax is just that much more intuitive than Markdown. I sometimes feel that when devs invent something (Markdown, YAML, etc), they really should do 5 minutes of research before inventing their thing.
Markdown should have used all the org-mode syntax for the the features they wanted.
Markdown was based on the "syntax" already being used informally in emails and on IRC. So the author did do some searching to define the syntax.
I don’t like many parts of markdown either (like the syntax for bold), but those were also IIRC already being parsed by some IRC clients before Markdown was specified.

News to me :-/
> So the author did do some searching to define the syntax.
I recall using tin/rtin in 1995, and people used the org mode syntax for italics, underline and bold (not that it made any difference). Same with plain-text email (I used elm, then pine, then mutt). Same with IRC clients - convention was the org mode syntax, not the markdown we have today.
The very first time I saw '**' for bold was in setext, circa 2004. People weren't actually using setext though; they were using *some text*, _some text_ and /some text/.
In short, no, I don't believe that the authors did any research. I think what happened is that they saw something like setext, though "great idea, lets run with that!", and did so.
Even grocery stores fit your definition of scalpers.
But this is even more different because they don't even sell the housing to you, they rent it to you. The service they offer is that you don't have to have capital to buy a house and you don't have to maintain it and if you move, you don't have to sell it and pay sales taxes.
Additionally, landlords don't benefit from the higher prices (ie. market rate rent) either, since that also pushes house prices up. A landlord entering the market has a higher capital cost that absorbs the higher rental return, such that typically rental yield remains about the same (at slightly higher that the cost of capital that covers their increased risk compared to a more stable investment).
Those who benefit are those who own housing at the time of market rate increases. That's just regular investment return and the risk/reward can be directly compared to any other form of investment. Current owner occupiers and current landlords benefit at the time of every increase (even if their capital gains are not immediately realised). And then every household, whether they are owner occupiers or tenants, have to pay in the form of higher capital expense. Landlords simply pass the higher rent through to pay for their higher capital expenses.

I like this thinking. If you buy a house on the cheap and rent spikes and your profit increases dramatically, you’re not benefiting because somebody will kick in your front door and force you to buy a crazy expensive house.
Besides what you said, it is also in landlords' interest to maintain (but admittedly with as little cost/involvement as possible) the perception that the real estate goods they're renting are (quality wise) reasonable options for their prospective clients. That means that they (may go to lengths to) fend off troublesome tenants and thus contribute to the overall quality of life for the community in the neighborhood.
The stock market is forward looking. If people already expected that BYD would sell 4.6M vehicles in 2025, it was already accounted for in the stock valuation. For the stock to go up in price, they need to do even better than people expect.
If that's really the goal, would it make sense for the government to subsidize cars with military money? Because otherwise, car buyers are basically subsidizing national defense by buying overpriced cars.
Not if your application requires 2X the energy. Aircraft, drones, etc. There's always trade-offs in battery design. As an old saying goes: you can have high specific energy, low degradation, or low cost... pick two!
Charge cycle capacity drops are generally not linear. If we start with 2x capacity and drop to 1.6x after 100 cycles, then we might end up with 1.2x after 1000 cycles. Some smartphone manufacturers would love that as you start with extremely superior energy density and then have a built-in obsolescence.
I like WSL, but their search bars have gotten worse which really kills any good will I have towards them.
On my work computer, the search bar can't even find Intellij which is installed in a totally normal way. It's even in the same folder as clion in the program files and it can find that one. I also had a problem where the file explorer couldn't find a file by name and it made me look like an idiot.
You know what feature my menu bar has though? I tells me when the s&p 500 goes down in value to try to make me panic sell. That's a feature I really want in my work computer's os menu /s.
Also when I clicked on the time, it used to show me a calendar, but now it shows me a pomodoro app?
I don't want more features in notepad, what I want is the os to do basic stuff, like finding my programs and files or show me the time, right.
