I bought a Tesla because it was rated as the best car ever made. It's the safest, one of the fastest, has amazing tech, and is a complete blast to drive. I've never loved a car like I love my Tesla. Driving an ICE car after get

The Teslas may cost more upfront, but they save a ton on gas, oil, maintenance, etc, and are estimated to last for up to a million miles.

Would a person have any legal standing to sue their cell phone company for violating their right to privacy, assuming that the Bill of Rights could trump whatever license agreement we all agree to without reading?

Isn't that potentially billions of dollars worth of stolen IP? That's not cool.

Happy to share more information but don't want to hijack the thread too much. Would love to talk to you about this stuff sometime if you'd be interested. My email is in my profile.

It's interesting reading this thread as one of the founders of Star Sonata, a space MMO that launched in 2004. Star Citizen has a lot of hype and a lot of money, but people seem to hate the game/results. Our players for the most

A human driver crashed in that same exact spot one week earlier, so you can't really say AP is necessarily worse because of this accident.

I stopped letting my iPhone update. I swear every update makes it slower and buggier. My old iPad which was perfectly fast and great at the time is now almost unusable after 4 iOS upgrades. It won't even play Sudoko without constant

On a YouTube stream we were watching, I saw at least one fold down passenger seat in the truck cabin. Not sure how comfortable it would be, though.

Many would argue that job subsidies like this are the opposite of capitalism. Under a free market, the government wouldn't be subsidizing anything.

> My wife and I live in California, a community property state. At the moment we married, everything that is mine became hers and vice versa. This is not correct according to my understanding. Community property is anything that is acqu

Tesla's battery recycling program sounds pretty impressive, and the cost of new batteries is lower every year. https://www.tesla.com/blog/teslas-closed-loop-battery-recycl...

It would be interesting if instead of just up and down arrows, you could tag posts as "insightful", "funny", or "inspiring". Too often, the up votes are used for things that are funny, and throwaway one liners

Maybe that would be a good thing? Without need for parking, commercial districts could get denser and denser, and people could have nice large homes far away for cheaper than ever. If the cars aren't causing pollution or gridlock, wh

But with Tesla's open policies, such as open sourcing all their patents, maybe they will happily supply Uber with all the self driving cars Uber might want, plus the API's to remotely control them?

My iPhone and iPad. It's not that many years that I've had them and they are nothing like anything I ever used before. My dad's electric RAV4 made with Tesla components. That thing is so quiet and smooth and can accelerat

Check out Sensei's Library Go wiki, Nick Sibicky on YouTube, and Janice Kim's "Learn to Play Go" series of books, IMO. Also, the "Hikaro no Go" anime series is absolutely wonderful, and that takes Hikaro from a

When I was first learning, I mostly played against the computer. You can lose a lot faster that way, since the computer plays quickly, and it will brutally punish really newbie mistakes, so you can learn to avoid doing really stupid things

I think they are often also dehydrated, full of bug bites, uncomfortable, lacking sleep, and stressed out, so not sure how comparable it would be to fasting in the 1st world.

I agree with a lot of this. I have a lot of Soylent bags lying around, but I continually fail to make it in advance so it can chill, and once I do, I have a hard time eating it all before it expires. If I could just think, "I want so

I wish I took better care of my knees. It's important to do quad strengthening and hamstring stretching. Just playing a lot of soccer and basketball by themselves can lead to loss of cartilage and having to give it all up.
