<decimation> yeah turns out the 'advanced' battery pack is just a pile of standard lithium batteries wired in strings << i have no idea what's so advanced about it, basically the whole car is powered offa one of those 4.5 volt things discussed here previously |

how do you 'turn off' an internal short? |

ie, cut it off, let the rest work |

asciilifeform |
well it has those. |
| 01:02 |

does it ? |

charges/discharges all elements simultaneously |
| 01:03 |
mircea_popescu |
it has FUSES. but that's for electricity not heat. |
| 01:04 |
asciilifeform |
presumably the cells are meant to be spaced in such a way that one, if internal short, does not ignite neighbour. |

asciilifeform suppose the cell merely overheats. |

well then dunno. |

here's what i recall (any other delvers in naggum archive, feel free to correct) |

asciilifeform |
at one point he figured out that, given taxation law in No, his standard of living would not much change if he cut his consulting to 2-3 months of a year. |
| 12:21 |
asciilifeform |
and so he did. |
| 12:22 |

(seems like norway has, or at least had at the time, a confiscatory tax scheme where you lose essentially 100 percent after a certain point.) |

asciilifeform agrees in principle with mircea_popescu. but only gets to eat by 'turning correct screw' because of a set of personal connections which, as usual, aren't portable. |

and it WAS impressive, for the time and place. because hey, the russians tried to build an utopia of empathy and equality, and failed. |

asciilifeform there's a lot of value in looking for the easy way out, a point easily missed by naggum and im sure gauss, and many other very smart people. |

gauss actually is interesting to mention here, given as he made many 'leaps of intuition' - most of them, into neverneverland. he knew this, even, and so refrained from publishing most of his work |

I'm not going to get into the arguement, but smokers are less of a health care burden. They die early and quick |
