Yeah I love this idea, I was very interested in all news about EV charging developments after their video discussing issues with the EV charging networks...

International journalist do go back. as they often just live in the region they cover for there news agency. However often only in news papers that have to fill there pages. You do see them go back to them. for TV or radio the time they have for covering news is just to short. so you need to make a choice.

How do you think they did the research for much of this video…?

@@sirBrouwer Last century media, TV & radio, because on air time is so short that trying to explain almost anything means that they don’t explain anything at all. Demographics of viewers & listeners of these mediums means it won’t be long and no one will be there to tune in.

@@briancavanagh7048 for radio you do have it but then you tune in to a news radio station. But for general radio or TV that is not dedicated to news only they have to share airtime. But if you want to dive in there are always options. From a extended newspaper to a news magazine or even dedicated papers to a exact subject. Both in paper as online.

I really miss his old narration style. That's what got me hooked in the first place. Nowadays I don't see the difference between a Wendover and a Half as Interesting video

@@pisse3000 I think the contrast is rather big

@@pisse3000 Well, Sam covers different kinds of topics in each channel, and his Wendover videos usually have a much more serious tone than HAI.

There's no "therefore" in HAI videos

@@pisse3000disagree, HAI scripts tend to be heavy on the sarcasm and jokes. Wendover is still primarily informative.

There's a US city that's building an extension of a light rail line?? Unbelievable!

@@3abxo390slowly and over budget, but yes! And, if I’m guessing the metro area (notably they didn’t say city), the twin cities is planning on building an extension to the other line.

@@3abxo390Seattle is expanding their light rail. One of the most ambitious projects at the moment in the country

​@@3abxo390 lots of cities are investing in trains now, even LA

Thx❤

Literally eating lunch and watching the video now 😊

@@ArielLVT I was having dinner 😁

I hope my UKposts channel will be at least quarter as successful

Yeah, Toyotas JIT always has been "we have parts if we need them" , not "we have parts when we need them"

​@@martinum4Toyota stockpiled microchips that lasted a year into the pandemic when other companies cut production due to shortages. It wasn't enough, but far better than competitors.

@@richardarriaga6271Toyota did good through the chip shortage, I got the 2021 Corolla Hybrid in Jan 2021 and many others did too, it was well built, affordable, and most importantly, in stock, you could get one in a few weeks. Meanwhile if you wanted a car from European brands you were looking at waiting for months like my mom did for her new VW that same year, or you were looking at buying 2-3 year old cars at prices higher than they were sold when brand new. As it tends to happen in business, execs saw a company do something well and rushed out to copy it while completely half assing it, the result, global manufacturing issues at 1st major bump. At least they learned from their mistakes, turns out saving yourself on 5% of costs this quarter is not worth losing 3-4 times that in sales over the next few years. Also the west seems to have learned something, and both USA and EU are moving manufacturing closer to or in many cases back home.

This sadly happens all the time. The original cubicle was designed to reconfigure to fit whatever the team was doing that day, and make the office more dynamic. I've heard horror stories of what "agile" and "scrum" have come to mean in some workplaces. My take is that it's easier to push through dodgy practices if they're hidden behind a buzzword

I wonder whether we will be in another eight years...

having an orgy

@@JackGladstoneHolroydesadly.. you’ve got a point there…

​@@SeedHow do have so many subscribers

With how much went on only the last year, it's clear to see that hard times lie ahead

My question is, given a fixed amount of safety is put into each system would a gas station be more prone to have a major accident or an electric station? also the regulations are not very mature when it comes to electric systems, the testing tech isn't mature, the redundancy standard isn't clear, the power supply quality tolerances aren't clear, the car power input capabilities over their limit isn't clear. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

@@salil5476 Both should be sufficiently safe given gas station equipment is all third-party tested and inspected (given it's not some diversity hire doing the work). Design work doesn't begin even without UL/cUL being involved for North America. Charging equipment also is likely under the microscope from UL. All that being said, you still don't want to run your car over a charging station or gas dispenser. My main point to Sam was he thought dispensing gas was trivial compared to charging a car.

@@grandtheftavocado I think he meant for the consumer.

@@l4nd3rboth are easy for the consumer, the only difference being time.

​@@grandtheftavocado diversity hires don't mean uneducated hires, it means that if you have 20 white candidates and one black candidate, you hire the one black one to seem more diverse. Stop being stupid

Does it start in Sesimbra or does it just hit the water there?

Lmao they are literally buying subscribers to keep this channel

@@SomereasonstoliveWHY do you think this?

Same. I've watched every video from there I could find. But life is too crazy for such a trip.

Yeah, the St. Helena documentary made an impact on me. So did the one on the Marshall Islands, but sadly that story doesn't seem to be getting too much better.

From just having a limited satellite connection to the rest of the world, now becomes a strategic connection for satellite connections.

But it wasn't their government... It was the EU...

6:50 That's Newark Airport in NJ, not one of the London airports.

@@timotheatae and Google too.

@@timotheatae they never said it was the government of the island that did it.

Me surprised Pikachu face

You sure it's not related to your over-willingness to round-up numbers?

Yeah, it;s easily several million mines if not more, if you count the leaf/butterfly or whatever they are called mines then it's probably in the 10-100s of millions.

You must be good at Geoguessr.

Now someone's got to figure out what to do with the old batteries...

Well, the J-1772 connector can do AC charging. CCS is the added DC pins on the bottom of the J-1772. I don't think a CCS charger can provide AC power as CCS is a DC standard.

​@@medivalone CCS literally stands for Combined Charging Standard. AC/DC are the things being combined.

I was thinking that too.

The internet was a thing back then. It was very different though.

Time for you to do some reading.

The internet existed before 1989.

The reason why I started watching originally

I think politicians watch this channel and a few other channels a lot. I am pretty sure xi xinping watches this and polymatter

Was St. Helena even in the EU in the first place, given it was a British Overseas Territory?

@@Croz89 Good question. After a quick search, it seems it was not, but I'm not 100% sure.

Don’t both do that?

@@titanicbigship that's the joke iirc

Seems like stock footage of the Newark Liberty International Airport in New York City.

@@JakeFromStatefarm703Thank you

There is no need to move away from such big nodes. Cars have space and power efficiency is rarely an issue when Most of the energy is going out the exhaust anyway

@@martinum4 it would just make it easier for chip manufactures though

@@aat8345 no, quite the opposite. The smaller the node, the harder everything gets since you need more preciscion in every step along the way. Compare it to throwing a Ball from afar, the bigger your target is, the easier it is to hit.

@@martinum4 it is just that because they have so many nodes of smaller sizes it is cheaper to make them on a smaller node than having to spend time still supporting the massive chipsets. you are probably right on the difficulty of making the chips but because it is mainstream to have smaller nodes the larger ones are becoming more expensive to operate.

@@aat8345 it is certainly not Mainstream. Maybe for GPUs and CPUs, but for everything else larger nodes are just fine because they dont compute much. There is just no need to have a 5nm based controller in your Toaster when even 50nm would do just fine.

Crimea hasn't been part of Ukraine for the past decade

Crimea is Ukraine like Texas is Mexico

It's still colored in like the rest of occupied territory, mistakes happen

@@orenalbertmeisel3127only 18 UN states recognize Crimea as russian territory

if you look closely, it's clear the visual explicitly made it part of both Russia AND Ukraine, to reflect its disputed status.

Thanks, Obama.

My guy you can't be serious

@@shamrock141 Lisbon is further north than what is marked on the video! The marker is somewhere between Sines and Beja...

@@diogor420 you are correct, and this is a free UKposts video, hardly worth the outrage since it's a barely noticeable error

​@@shamrock141 It's offensive for me, as a Portuguese, when a channel with almost 5 Million subscribers and does videos about geography doesn't know or care where a capital of an European country is.
