This reads like a challenge to produce an electric car powered by renewable energy to go past 300+ MPH. Watch FIA Formula E racing, and you'll gain confidence that 300+ MPH electric cars will happen. There will be no end to the fat tim

To me, if the site doesn't work on Firefox, the site is broken. End of story.

Me either. When something doesn't work it's almost always because of Privacy Badger. If I'm really curious I'll whitelist it to see if that does the trick. Otherwise I might report the bug to the site, but typically ther

I've used both and I'm sorry but CarPlay is far inferior to Tesla's UI. In addition, Tesla's screen is the only interface to the car's critical functions. They're not gonna hand it over to CarPlay unless they w

I have a 2017 BMW X3 with every option. The Bluetooth integration is terrible. It did force me to move my music service to Spotify (which is the only music service BMW supports.) Turns out Spotify is awesome, but BMW's integration of i

Oh yeah there are all kinds of firewalls, but you know there is always a hole somewhere. (Officially they've contracted with Amazon Workspaces to provide remote access which actually works pretty good, albeit slow.)

Yes. Plus we're talking an entire society all changing everything they do all at once. Think about how that's going to be achieved when even a single individual can't change their life all at once. Think about how long has it

It was a good one, and timely. My thought listening to that podcast was that the Chinese government wouldn't expend this kind of effort and expense to silence people en masse unless they felt vulnerable.

Almost every Windows computer in the fortune 500 company I work for has RDP enabled and if it wasn't production would grind to a halt. To make matters worse I can't even run Windows updates on my laptop because the IT department h

Most people buying these things know the only performance thing they'll ever do with the car is a straight launch from a stop at an intersection. They won't ever be needing high-G turning ability on a city street, nor any other ma

Snowden didn't know everything then, and he knows even less now. Also, asking a company for data or even stealing the data through subterfuge doesn't make you an owner of that company.

Reminds me of GTA. I stayed far away from it because it had an awful reputation in the media. Finally when GTA5 came out I tried it for the first time and it was nothing like the stories. I was expecting terrible awful very bad things. But

I'm 50 and still programming. Programming is all I know how to do. If that was taken away from me, I would just rot to death. I don't want to be anything else, and I refuse to be forced to do something I don't want to do. I&#

This argument that you can't criticize anything if you benefit from it is absurd. If he didn't use any technology that comes from companies that advertise, he would never be able to communicate his message in the first place. In f

What if this is as good as it gets? What if everyone who can be convinced, has been convinced? Will human beings go to their deaths in large numbers continuing to deny something because they can't handle it? I worry that this could be

For an electrician to install an outlet in your garage is TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS?! If you paid that, you got mega ripped off. That's an order of magnitude greater than it should cost.

I never see stories about Ford's current lawsuits, or GM or Chrysler. I'm curious what goes on behind the scenes to get stories like these published and pushed out onto social media sites across the globe. Must be a pretty expansi

You have to be going ~160 mph for several minutes to induce the overheat power reduction mode. In the US it would take driving on an oval racetrack. I enjoy watching YouTube videos of people running these on German highways to get them to o

There is a large community of people here in the US who block every company that does bad things. Yes I'm talking about the Amish. But even in Amish society, there is politics and people who do Bad Things. Fortunately there are plenty

Agreed. This is exactly how I figured it would work, and how I would want it to work, and for these exact reasons. The only thing this story reveals to me is the apparent disconnect between how things actually work and how people think they

Probably the engineer who told the guy the locomotives would explode was a young idealistic engineer fresh out of his Engineering Ethics 101 class. He had never been fired before for telling employers things they don't want to hear. Th

Is it more "pro-American" then to cover up negative indicators? People consume weather reports to know if it's going to rain. People consume traffic reports to see where the accidents are. People consume news for the negative

I'm talking about real-world. If you actually go to the places on the map, half the time the place doesn't exist, or can't find it, or it's closed. That can't happen when you're down to your last 10 miles of ba

And yet they won't invest a dime in charging infrastructure as Tesla has done. Which means the only electric car you'll be able to drive between cities remains Tesla. Until that changes Tesla will continue to sell 10x more electri

I think most companies do this, even ones that aren't that successful. If you've got a product that has any modicum of success at any point, the natural inclination is to push and mold that product into every corner of every space

What if you're building a $350M machine that weighs many tons, located deep inside a concrete facility and will never ever be moved? The people who operate this machine years in the future will read a date on a log file or database tab

I tend to agree. It makes no sense. If you're an activist, and you live in a democracy, why wouldn't you affect change more meaningfully by participating in the democracy you live in? Why would you buy something that itself has a

It is, but the 2.4 release introduced integrated updates. I was still on 2.3 and wasn't aware of this, or that my KeePass was out of date until I saw this this morning. So I am thankful for the heads up. :)
