You really can't. Even then you're going to have to endure all the after-market sales pitches: financing, floor mats, weatherproofing, etc. The last non-Tesla car I bought took me hours to complete after finalizing the price.

This is a fantastic comment, much more valuable than the linked article, and more clear and the concise than the Wikipedia article. Maybe the better blogpost out there is the one you write based on this comment? You're most of the way

The breakup decision always seemed insane to me. You've decided this hyper-competitive company is a problem, so now you want two of them? (Yes, I understand the intent was to defeat some perceived synergies, but I'm not sure that&

I'm surprised there aren't more SSCs (shitty Scrivener clones). Scrivener is by far my favorite writing tool, but it's also the tool that most frequently makes me wish I had the time to write my own version from scratch.

There's no voiceover on the first video. You're not missing anything but music. (The second video has an option for captions.)

MacRumors has a piece on how the GeekBench scores stack up against other Macs [1]. Spoiler: fastest Mac ever (single core), fastest laptop ever (multi-core) and competitive with their desktop offerings. [1] https://www.macrumors.

Brilliant. The rubber sheet model of warped space has always bothered me.

As is often the case, the headline doesn't do justice to the article. "Changed his mind" suggests a pivot, whereas his progression is more of an evolution, or a progression up the hierarchy of needs: "Certainly in the be

They were a success long before Ruby on Rails. The article doesn't quite connect the dots, but they were so successful as a consulting company that they created Basecamp as an internal tool to manage their own products. And then Base

Why shouldn't they? The burden to demonstrate a compelling argument should always be on those who want to restrict freedom, not on those who want to enjoy (or retain) freedom.

In Hawaii, insurance cards are printed on special paper and must be mailed by your insurer. Printed PDFs or copies aren't accepted.

As ID to get into a bar, I think minimally they'd need access to your photo too, to ensure you haven't just borrowed (or bought) a phone.

The Lifehack article, by James Clear, is the source of the confusion. Clear takes Allen's Two-Minute Rule as the first part of his own Two-Minute Rule, the second part of which is something like Allen's Next Actions. It's a

In order to obtain patent protection, you have to make public the details of your invention, so "open" in the sense that the information is available, and vulnerable thereby to foreign manufacturers who don't respect the pate

I think there are some spurious words included. "Critical thinking is as friendly fire isn't" works. "Critical thinking is; friendly fire isn't" works better (along the same lines as "Variables don't;

Scrivener. It's biggest advantage over something like Microsoft Word is that a Scrivener project is basically a custom file system for your manuscript, making it incredibly easy to keep chapters and sections in separate files (for spee

It's hard to see in that chart because of the big peak in the 4th quarter of 2018, but year over year growth per quarter is generally improving. The annual revenue chart shows the trend more clearly: https://ycharts.com&#x2F

Mostly fair--smartphones are locked down, like game consoles, and Microsoft is being self-serving here. But Microsoft does make one interesting argument that Gruber doesn't address, that app stores for phones deserve greater scrutiny b

The body of the article says they picked the car up from a Tesla service center (which is accurate--you can order your car from a showroom, but you pick it up at the service center). The only reference to a "dealership" is in the

I truly don't understand how your friend has this problem. I have a Model 3, and after I read your comment, I tried to block my view of the speedometer with my right hand and couldn't do it. I tried sitting closer and farther ba

It's still regressive because the utility of money isn't constant. A dollar is worth more to someone with less money.

Interesting that German authorities are considering treating the death as a homicide. The US has the felony murder doctrine where a death that occurs during the commission of a felony is automatically considered first degree murder. [0] Ger

An even better analogy is Jenga. California's uncontrolled fuel load was going to result in massive fires at some point. Yes, PG&E could have reduced the chance of it being them, which would be great for PG&E, but would make no

Interesting point about reviewers skewing positive for popularity. My big issue with most recommendation engines is that they're biased towards false positives rather than false negatives. The other way would lead to fewer, more focuse

Water and electricity are, as you say, utilities and can't shut you down on a whim. But if you only have one source for lemons, and they cut you off, that's on you. Epic knows this. They're not just on iOS. You can find For

Teslas can already charge at any standard electrical outlet or Level 2 charging station with adapters that come with the car and at any Level 3 charging station in the US with an optional CHAdeMO adapter, so it's more like they've
