The problem is their target market is people who don't have (or can't get) a credit card. If you already have a credit card, whats the point of Afterpay?

Edison batteries (Nickle-iron), although expensive initialy, are apparently the cheapest batteries once you factor in their lifetime of multiple decades without degradation.

The first time I saw it detect pedestrians and cyclists that the human driver hadn't even noticed yet, I realised it is also going to save lives.

Additionally, we have increased patrols of the wires in regional areas, installation of spreader bars, and regular clearing of the trees and shrubs near the wires.

This is more about how bad GM is and less about electric vehicles

Sometimes things that "feel" dangerous can be safer due to the extra attention garnished. That, and the beta is simply really small.

Checkout TiDB. It sounds too good to be true, and it is, because transactions must be co-ordinated across multiple nodes on the network. Thus the write throughput can be very high but the write latency is also very high.

The average price of a new vehicle in the USA now starts at ~$40k, so your comparison isn't particularly relevant

I think the battery performance will fall off a cliff rapidly. The graph over time will behave more like the nissan leaf than a Tesla.

I should add that the model 3 warranty is similar on paper (but the model S/X is 160k miles). Older Tesla's have so far shown to largely outperform this though.

I don't buy it. I think theres a dirty secret that they are using a much cheaper battery with prismatic cells that won't last as many years (or charge cycles) as we've become accustomed to seeing in Tesla batteries. This won&

I agree, the level of scientific curiosity over this is much lower than expected.

This is also good for people with disabilities, such as chronic fatigue, chronic pain, or any others that limit how many hours per week you can work. These sort of people deserve a good chance at happiness in getting to work a fulfilling w

I've found single core 5950x performance to be 20-30% faster in my ruby/rails benchmarks, vs my old 4 core Xeon (which had single core turbo at 4ghz). Very happy with the upgrade

I'm kinda burnt out on people not caring. This has been going on for years now.

There's a similar program here in Australia to send them to our northern neighbours like Philippines etc

There's only one possible way the tunnel can work, which is fully automated carriages (of any kind), plus a 3rd tunnel in the middle just for pedestrian egress during an emergency.

I run such an AC pump, and I had good success adding a VFD controller instead of buying a new DC pump. It still runs off AC but internally runs off DC and back to AC again. It now has soft start and variable speed control, and draws about 3

Tesla is going into the business of battery making, and literally going into lithium mining. People need to watch Battery Day...

Truly bizarre ideology. There's already so much we could be doing that is easier and a better idea than this.

Doesn't it incentivize development of "mostly safe" vaccines, over "completely safe but more expensive". As long as the number of litigants remains low, it could be more cost effective to pay them off.

If you have a garage and a power point at home, you just leave it plugged in while you're not using it. You don't really even have to think about it - definitely more convenient than having to find a gas station once a week

Because in the medium-term future, cars are going to be all about software, and will be for entertainment almost as much as transport.
