Nope, but a quick Google suggests that this paper: “Spreading the Tools of Theory: Feynman Diagrams in the USA, Japan, and the Soviet Union” by David Kaiser, Kenji Ito and Karl Hall http://web.mit.edu/dikaiser/www/Kaiser.SpreadingTools.pdf must have been the original source research. edit: Also, there’s a book (by one of the authors of that paper): “Drawing Theories Apart: The Dispersion Of Feynman Diagrams In Postwa…

'pja, you should post the Kaiser et al. paper to HN on its own.

That's a good idea. Done.

Yes. Chrysler has made some very puzzling choices with the hybrid. Like no memory seats. On a $40k+ car. My wife is over a foot shorter than me so that's really weird. Maybe we shouldn't weight that feature so highly but it has very real practical convenience for us.

Yeah, I don't get that. I suppose even on the top-line ($46k) trim it's not there? Personally, we don't share much - she drives hers, I drive mine and only share duties in the weekend. With our separate commutes, and a PHEV and and EV we could literally not visit gas stations except on road trips.

Correct. Not on any hybrid, even the 2018, no matter what trim.

Thank you! That was really a great read, and I wouldn't have sought it out without your help.

Excellent. I just upvoted it; I hope the time zone difference won't keep the post from being seen.

It got a second chance & got 33 votes the second time, but no discussion. Oh well - maybe it needs an explanatory blogpost or two in order to draw people in.
