Yet we also hear that battery production is a bottleneck and the reason why automakers other than Tesla are so limited in their EV offerings.

Yes, I have similar thoughts, though I guess worst case it's roughly the same as mining coal but without the CO2 (and other unhealthy) emissions of burning it. Downvoted? I was intending to express that even with mining the raw materia

I've used Motorola "Moto G" phones since I've had smartphones. My current phone is from 2015. They are low-cost, but seem well made. Never had any problems with the hardware. I've been happy with them. The downside

It seems to me that Apple could deploy iMessage and FaceTime versions for Android whenever they wanted to. The only reason they aren't is probably that they don't want to cannibalize sales of their own hardware.

650 mile range may not be as much as it sounds like. I'm not a pilot but I know there are regulations for reserve fuel. So you need enough fuel (kWH in this case) for taxi, take off, the trip itself, divert to alternate airport, plus r

It burns that fuel as it flies though, reducing weight which is important for landing safely. The EV aircraft will weigh the same landing as taking off, which presents some complications.

I never like to have the car running when I'm not in it. If it's low on oil, or overheating, etc there's nobody watching the gauges.

I often don't lock my house. But when I'm not there, there's a dog on the front porch who doesn't like strangers.

The problem is your other option is likely not having the drug at all.

I'd put Google Drive/Docs/Sheets in there as home runs. They just keep getting better and better. I hardly ever think about using a desktop office suite any more. Remember when collaborating on a document meant emailing copie

Only a few generations ago, healthcare was not so ruinously expensive in the USA. We've never had taxpayer-funded universal care. So what caused the explosion in costs?
854.
by ams6110 8y ago
The real cost is not so much in the hardware but in the certification requirements. Medical devices need to be built to and work at a higher standard than consumer electronics, for obvious reasons.

The people in the cities benefit from the things the rural people produce (i.e.food). Why shouldn't they shoulder the cost of at least some of the the externalities also?

“It’s otherwise rational, sane people who’re in Mark’s orbit spouting full-blown anti-media rhetoric, saying that the press is ganging up on Facebook,” Well, the press probably is ganging up on Facebook. That's what the press does. T

The latest insurance "incentive" is a tracking device in your car that tracks when and where you drive, how fast, how hard you corner and stop, etc. I've declined this but expect that insurers will push for it to become manda

Agree. And some people will just sleep better knowing a professional is helping with their investments, and that's worth something. One hint is to talk to a couple of local estate planning attorneys and see who they recommend for finan

What strange is, I can see unlocking the car and even starting it with this attack -- but do the cars not continually (or at least every minute or two) revalidate the presence of the key? Once they got very far away from the house, the car

You really can't control how long something stays in a browser cache. The user can clear it at any time. Mine are cleared every time I close the browser.

I think that assumes that all the processing the key fob does internally is reliable constant-time down to the nanosecond. I don't know if that's true but my first guess is that it's doubtful.

Yeah so funny how all this modern tech can be compromised more easily than an old fashioned mechanical lock and key. And now I need to worry about putting my car key in a Faraday bag when I'm at home? Ridiculous. And if you lose your k

I find it liberating. When things are too convenient you tend to do a lot of worthless stuff. When there is a little bit of planning and difficulty involved, it helps prioritize. I don't have data on my mobile device either so I'm

I saw a guy riding two simultaneously, one foot on each. Didn't look very controllable to me but he seemed practiced.
