Routine maintenance on EVs does tend to be less, but non-routine damage tends to be much more expensive. That leads to insurance being 40% higher than comparably priced ICE cars. Essentially the median cost is a little lower but the mean co

It seems clear the original engineering was also an _unknown_. Planning for failure cases is part of engineering: making a $16k part that is easily damaged and non-repairable is simply shoddy engineering.

I'll agree a 2 week outage is insane, but that's hardly an example of the tech being behind. Shitty process sure and lazy software development too. How about the charge range or stability control? Any idea about the battery's

It sounds like you don't understand how wealth works and you're having some sort of emotional reaction towards "rich people". I just did a quick search for the breakdown, but essential 81% of Elon's wealth is Tesla

It's just important that people figure out what makes them happy, and what they're buying. I have no issue spending $60k+ on a car because I like to drive and a nice car makes me happy every time I get in. There is no way I'd

Having a single customer doesn't make a monopoly; if anything it gives that customer much more power. There's no reason the government can't do price comparisons even when buying from the US. If you want to sell $500 toilet s

Back when I started working with Python professionally, virtual environments were required before I could grok things. I just could not wrap my head around the crazy inconsistent behavior and nightmare dependencies until I discovered virtua

I think you're right about dating apps not really favoring either gender. Hiring is the first thing I think of when reading about dating apps. There's just a very strong natural imbalance. Dating apps are especially good at making

Why do you say "the people that worked their ass off to make his wealth possible" haven't been compensated?

I have zero confidence I would be able to pick out the Spaniard, Belgian, Canadian or American. I'm having a hard time matching your generalization with my experience. When I started travelling I was surprised how similar people were r

It was just a humorous warning for normal people to not use odd kernel versions. Long ago odd versions were extremely experimental and this was the best example of crazy they could think of.

This article isn't about Naomi Osaka; it's about a guy reveling in sloth. He's pretty explicit about just not wanting to contribute to society. He doesn't want to work, he wants to sit on the couch and watch TV. Refusing

Not everyone who shoplifts was "driven" to shoplift. Some people simply decide they'd rather keep their money and the product. After you remove "law and order" that actually becomes the most rational individual deci

I think the point is that wind/solar have scaling limits. Sure they work today, and in the immediate future, but what would it look like to have 100% of daily usage delivered by wind or solar? Don't forget political boundaries. No

It's probably late for you to see this but here's an attempt to clarify... my complaint is with wearing a mask as a statement _while_ complaining about the other side being overly aggressive in making their statement. Essentially

The problem you're describing is real and something that needs to be resolved. I'm assuming six months ago you would have told someone to wear a mask because that's what science says. Now you're ignoring the science to m

I've met precisely one person face to face who seriously proposed banning salary negotiations. It took a really long time to hire him because of his salary negotiation strategy. In all seriousness this is one of the best ways to make s

I have mixed feelings about code reviews. It seems like sometimes they're an opportunity to show off so every review _will_ find something insignificant; sometimes code reviews are rubber stamps and just not useful. There's a bala

I remember when leaving politics and religion at home was just considered basic good manners. It's disappointing it needs to be specifically spelled out, but I'm glad some companies are taking that step.

You're not wrong but higher unemployment helps push prices down. The economy is a huge collection of competing forces so answers are rarely so straight forward.

It comes down to, "What percentage of energy output from the panels needs to be devoted to keeping them clean?" If it's 100% there's no point in going to Mars, if it's 0% there's no point in using solar panels.
