You Might Be a Late Bloomer

 Reid shares The Atlantic You Might Be a Late Bloomer I was inspired by David Brooks who wrote in The Atlantic You Might Be a Late Bloomer The life secrets of those who flailed early but succeeded by old age /start excerpt/ But for many people, the talents that bloom later in life are more consequential than the ones that bloom early. A 2019 study by researchers in Denmark found that, on average, Nobel Prize winners made their crucial discoveries at the age of 44. Even brilliant people apparently need at least a couple of decades to master their field. The average age of a U.S. patent applicant is 47. A 45-year-old is twice as likely to produce a scientific breakthrough as a 25-year-old. A study published in The American Economic Review found 45 to be the average age of an entrepreneur–and found furthermore that the likelihood that an entrepreneur’s start-up will succeed increases significantly between ages 25 and 35, with the odds of success continuing to rise well into the 50s.

Understand EV charging “levels, connectors, rates, and mileage”

  Understand EV charging “levels, connectors, rates, and mileage”  A quick guide to all types of electric car charging, from Level 1 home charging to Level 3 fast charging. Electric Vehicle Charging Levels The automotive engineering organization SAE International outlines three levels of EV charging: Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3. Level 1 adds two to four (2-4) miles of range per hour of charging. Level 1 charging is the slowest and easiest using a typical household 120V outlet and charging equipment is included with new electric cars.  Level 2 adds twelve to thirty-two (12–32) miles of range per hour of charging. Level 2 charging may use a standard 3-prong household driver plug or may require a home charging unit . Level 2 operates at 240 volts. A typical 240-volt, 24-amp unit can put out about 6.0 kW of continuous power. But the fastest possible Level 2 charging is at 80 amps, or 19.2 kW, making it more than three times faster. The hardware on your car dictate...
