The Volt is dead? Hm. There are still some sitting at the lot at my local Chevy dealer. Didn't know that it had been killed.

The range balance is a little off. The Volt electric range is about 40 miles or so? That would barely get me to work and home. If I have other errands, I'm on the gas engine. Something like a Volt with a ~100 mile electric range would

Yeah but rentals are extremely inconvenient. You need to arrange a ride to the rental place. Most of them close at 5:00pm unless you're close to an airport. So now you're also taking time off work. The paperwork takes at least 20-

It doesn't really matter what people actually need. What matters is what they think they need. Few people are coldly logical about big purchases like cars.

Even so, the aircraft still needs to make a comfortable gradual descent. It must maintain lift as it descends, otherwise it will stall (aerodynamically) and fall out of the sky. The controlled descent takes most of the energy that you might

Most of the parts that degrade in a suspension are replacable. Bushings, stabilizer links, steering links, shocks, etc. are all easily replaced in most cars (n.b. EVs such as Tesla are the same as any other car in regards to these parts --

Battery technology, the management of charge/discharge/heat etc is the "secret sauce" that differentiates EVs. Anybody can stick an electric motor in a chassis. No carmaker is going to want to give that up for an industr

It's also missing scaffolding. Bamboo is often used to make construction scaffolding in areas where it is abundant.

I would be surprised if 10k developers could do much of anything. The communication overhead would be enormous.

I'll never own one. The privacy issues are mostly speculative but I just hate taking to computers. On my phone, I've disabled everything I can related to speech.

"I was lucky" I think is socially acceptable and also pretty much the main reason for most people.

Medicine is more complicated than computing.

Great example of why I never liked OO. It always seemed so complicated .

Because the actual surgeon is not a resident at the end of a 24 hour shift, it's a staff doctor on call or a local doctor with privileges at that hospital or surgery center.

For me, coffee is my stimulant, alcohol is my relaxer/antidepressant. I've never used any illegal drug, or used a prescription drug without an indicated reason and prescription for it.

Knowing about CPU architecture and OS structure helps me to reason about the application code I write. Do I understand those things as much as someone who specializes in them? No of course not. But a certain level of baseline knowledge does

And that is as much because of the potential for the condition to be used for blackmail as it is any real limits it imposes on the work you would be doing. And for some jobs, e.g. you want to work undercover for the CIA as a field agent, yo

It's like a firefighter shift. They can grab sleep during that time if there is a lull in activity. But it's not guaranteed.

Nurses have the handoff issues as much as the doctors if not more, and yet they work strict shifts.

The body's immune system can attack the body itself though. Cautious approach is needed.

Side question, would the "right to be forgotten" also entitle you to call your doctor and demand that all your medical records be destroyed?

Umm, all energy consumption eventually ends up as heat in the environment. If you are bringing "infinite energy" in from space, you will be dumping infinite heat into the environment. Not exactly good for cooling the planet.

Natural gas steam plants (retrofits from coal-fired) cannot be spun up very quickly. Natural gas turbine plants (e.g. that burn the gas directly in a turbine engine) can and those are the type that are typically used as "peakers"

The bike lane on the right scenario is just stupidity. In what other context is it permitted to turn right across another straight-ahead lane to the right? When I turn right and there is a bike lane to my right, I pull into the bike lane fi

I have my mirrors set as TFA describes. I dislike the surprise of having a clear view in the mirror and then noticing a vehicle is actually next to you but behind the cutoff of peripheral vision. That said, I still turn my head and check be
