The first model Ss that have hit 10 years and 200k miles have shown an average of 3% battery capacity decrease. Car batteries aren't phone batteries :)

oh I must have, I read this sentence "The state currently gets about 44 percent of its power from renewables and hydropower." as continuing with the current thought that hydro wasn't 100% clean. Pump it up then.

Once again, making me proud to pay CA taxes. If they do not take large hydro into account when calculating this 100%, I wonder what we'll do with the dams. Destroy them to let the rivers free-flow again? Dams would have been a great st

Depending on the plane, you might not be able to. Cirruses for example are composite planes whose structure AND wings from from a single piece of composite, therefore you can't remove the wings like you'd do on a Cessna, so you ca

The lack of regulations regarding car emissions imposes an unfair burden on California's air breathing residents, who must live on the same overheating planet as the other 49 states without any power in the voting booth to make them em

As you become "good" at driving in harder conditions, you'll use your butt (which is really how you're physically connected to the vehicle) to figure out the traction state of the car, to know if the car is sliding, if i

I have no understanding of physics, but given that 70% of the known mass isn't measurable, couldn't something like the EMDrive "just" (lol) send dark matter one way, and get momentum the other way? This is probably stupi

Gear does have a head model, you can tell really easily in pretty much every Gear/Go game by looking at parallax differences between near and far objects.

I used one today for the first time, and loved them. Faster than an uber, 3$ instead of 10, environmentally responsible, and fun to ride. As long as we fine people for being assholes (riding on the sidewalks, parking in stupid places) I thi

Why does everything crypto related feel the need to create a whitepaper following scientific conventions, even when there is nothing scientific about it...

The soon to come on-board videos of this high speed boat trying to catch a fairing coming from space under steerable parachute will be AWESOME.

There is still a good chance they might do a FH Raptor-powered second stage :)

That's not exactly actually (UE VR dev here). When you render a game at 90hz (or 60 or really anything), that means your total throughput needs to be 90hz, NOT that the frame needs to render in 11ms. Since you're dealing with mult

A hurricane isn't a thunderstorm, and has very limited vertical movement in its airflows. The hurricane hunter P3s do it.

There is, if you use it. In this case they were doing a visual approach , where you use eyesight in order to line up and land, because you have seen the runway. People do visual approaches in SFO as they are necessary to land 2 aircraft at

(pilot here) Yes, they are very well shown on maps, but it can be hard to map your diagram to what you're seeing, especially if it's raining or if it's at night, and even more if you're tired. I never made the mistake, b

Sounds good :) Seaplane rating is a bitch to use unless you wanna buy one, I know of no club that lets you solo their seaplanes for insurance reasons. An old apple coworker used to own a Lake amphibian, looked awesome.

That's just because new material technology makes high wing aircraft not very useful anymore. Plenty of low-wings get certified by the FAA (the cirruses, diamonds...)

Right now it's extremely scene dependent. If your scene works well with it ( lots of far objects, not too many objects in the clip plane area ) it can get you 20+% perf wins. If you have a scene that doesn't work with it ( small r

I work in tech in the silicon valley. That's just untrue. There is a sense of alienation in being a small cog in a huge company shipping millions of devices, churning through code to get data from one point to another hoping that it&#x

Pilot here, I can assure you that a "puddle jumper" being flown by a certified commercial pilot is way more dangerous than a commercial flight. The certification necessary for an airliner is miles above (no pun intended) the certi
