I have a little theory that the hard drive market will collapse fast once SSDs become 2x the price per GB. My reasoning is that a lot of these setups for large data storage are using four drives on RAID10. With SSDs, those can become just two drives on RAID1 for the sake of redundancy; the speed advantage of adding RAID0 to the mix will be inconsequential. So they can cost twice as much when you’re buying half as many.
There’s lots of sources from the losing side. Josephus was a Jewish writer who told of the Roman destruction of the temple. The history of the Eastern Front of WWII, as it was known to the West, was dominated by the writings of German soldiers for a long time.
History is written by writers. For much of it, that means it comes to us from an educated upper class. That’s where the historical blind spots are.
Most of the criticisms that come from the right are solvable problems, such as lack of chargers, electricity coming from dirty sources, or lithium mining. We pretty much know how to solve all those at this point. Just a matter of doing it.
Criticisms that come from the left tend to be more fundamental. Things like car-based cities being too spread out, infrastructure costs spiraling out of control, or having the average person operate a 2 ton vehicle at speeds over 60mph and expecting this to be safe. None of those are specific to EVs, and are only solvable by looking at different transportation options.
