Would be interesting to see if it was logging hard to the Web Inspector console.

What is this Tesla (or its non-driver ) going to get?

Interesting. (Yeah, I kind of envy the "A-Frame" that I <rarely> spot in the wild here—so simple). I didn't know the manifold roof was an American thing.

Well, class-action lawsuits are a thing.

"…Tesla installed only about 3,000 Solar Roof systems across the US, peaking at just 21 to 32 installations a week — more than 95% short of Elon Musk’s repeated promise of 1,000 weekly installations by 2019-2020." What was he smok

Interesting. They look great on a single-surface roof with 90° edges. It seems that as soon as your roof deviates from that the aesthetics begin to trend toward conventional PV panels (which of course also do not accommodate more complex ro

Hundreds (and hundreds?) of tiles with twice that number of electrical connectors… what could possible go wrong? I mean vs. a dozen or twenty large, conventional panels. Maybe we need to adjust our aesthetics before we compromise the engine

I've never wanted to learn music theory. I just want to play. I would write songs on my guitar when I was in college. A friend who was a guitar theoretician stopped by and listened. He said something like, "Odd, you went with a G7

Been scraping the “good bits” ( bits , ha ha) from the internet for some time. I'm quite ready for the internet to go away (so long as my digital backup remains viable!). I guess I'll realize what I liked about it once it's g

Flock has become something like the Tantalus Field from the original Star Trek 's “Mirror Mirror” episode.

From above: "…your neighbor's political views are an existential threat to you personally…" Feels like an edge case to me.

Exactly. Bob and Van weren't hyper-political. Sure, there was the John Birch Society, but as a society we also kind of understood that they were nut-birds.

I threw together a logarithmic slider for HTML (when I knew little about JavaScript and HTML). I hoped someone would take it and run with it and we would see more logarithmic slide rule calculators on the web. (Top, yellow slider, cannot be

The U.S. has a Green Party, a Libertarian Party. If they ever had a chance to take any serious votes from the other two, one of the two major parties would co-opt enough of their platform to make the threat go away. As we seem to be seeing,

Two-parties system naturally evolve. Get rid of money, punish lying, decrease the power of the Executive branch… Lots to do, but getting rid of the two party system is a pipe dream.

You forgot turning the mentally ill out into the streets (literally).

Not when subsidizing it prevents us addressing the bigger problem. Subsidize electric trucks, subsidize using cargo trains for 99% of the transportation of goods instead.

Oh, I see them, ha ha!

Just a man on the street here—I sense it's more a backlash against tech-bros in general. People are seeing the world getting worse from tech and they're taking their pitchforks to the data centers and Flock cameras. (Of course I

I like the in-depth description. Everything from the naming convention of the models (and how much RAM they require) as well as all the components needed underscores just how complicated this all still is. I suppose I am waiting for AI-in-a

It can also be taken as an attack on the cult of personality surrounding Jobs.

"Services" was probably the only place where Apple could grow. So Eddy Cue stepped up and delivered. I think it sucks too.

I'm surprised manned aircraft are getting so much money/attention. I suppose you could fly them remotely too though (but pricey for a drone).

"This just reads like marketing imo." You could be right, but I don't see being caught off guard as the kind of praise you seem to think it fosters for Apple. If I were in marketing I would be looking for a message that sho
