EV's most probably emmit more CO2 over their lifetime than a diesel car (nobody cares though.
But, EV's objectively have wayy less local emissions than ICE cars. I drive a diesel car myself but still, any study saying EV's emmit 1000x more emissions are just cherry picking data. Maybe the tires emmit 1000x more particles in a 10sec timeframe when giving full throttle. In normal operation they emmit way less emissions as they don't burn hydrocarbons which is never a fully clean process. No catalytic converter and particulate filter is 100% effective, especially not in cold state (~first 5min of driving) which is also the range people drive trough the city to the highway and pollute the air. ICE's emmit NOX, PM, unburnt hydrocarbons including highly cancerous shit like benzene and PAH's. I would bet money on this at I actually did emmision tests on cars in development. Also prob 80% of cars are not new and equipped with the best exhaust cleaning systems while a 10year old Tesla still emmits 0 chemical toxins in my air except for some PM from brakes and tires.
Regarding efficiency, do you know about the efficiency of ICE's vs electric motors? ICE's blow 70% of the energy they consume away as heat. Electric cars are by far more efficient in converting electrical energy into mechanical energy.
This is just reality, all CO2 bullshit aside.
Still way less exhaust emmision though. Try riding a bicycle behind a cold ICE and an electric car, you will smell the difference.
They don't exist though
True the incentive to spam on X is way higher, still Nostr is also 100x easier to spam in theory, I can just write a python script that's spamming everything with different users etc... I imagine this is way harder to pull with X
Why is there so much more spam on X than on Nostr, shouldn't it be easier to filter spam on a centralized platform with permissioned login?
Will the Nostr police come if you don't implement it in your client?
Looking forward to the new wave of plebs created this cycle
PWA's fix this i guess? Mutiny is available as PWA for example
I think it's just hard to offer a service that has PayPal comfort but no regulatory pressure to do KYC. Fedimint probably fixes this by federating the custody to different jurisdictions.
Users just want PayPal feeling & fees, no matter what protocol (onchain or ln).
True but receiving via lightning is terrible ux with phoenix as you have to buy liquidity first or it will do a splice in with on chain tx which costs random high fees. This can only be solved by using custodial wallets (which is not inherently bad!)
Yeah some do it right, Phoenix, Breez, Blink are the ones i tested. But still not perfect as they have the full balance in LN which makes it kind of expensive to stack into them and use them as only wallet due to fees. Blink has maximum daily amounts.
Maybe Fedimint Wallets will combine all of this, low fees (no channels), higher daily amounts (no regulatory pressure), single balance and good privacy
Feels like a key part missing for the circular economy is the bridge between onchain and lightning.
Most people stack onchain and most merchants accept lightning. Using two different wallets is a mental burden and hard to understand for users.
A single balance and no difference between ln and onchain in the frontend could help enormously.

Just very hard to accomplish without big risks or a profitable niche. Most trying to invest just get rekt in bitcoin terms.
