For Model S and X there is, for Model 3 and Model Y there is a contactless key card that normally sits in the driver's wallet. If the phone key is unavailable, the contactless card is the other option, but unlike the phone it isn'

The list of products is definitely more expansive than I realized. This space is ripe for a disruption too. So much potential remains in static code analysis.

True, but our definition of toxic has changed. Humans have been living with wood smoke for millennia, it may not be great for you but it isn't very new in terms of evolutionary presence. Smoke from burning industrial chemicals is a new

I’d like to see a chip with it’s own power source that keeps a truly monotonic clock.

You can do this with a Tesla of course; either disable remote access (leaving open firmware updates and traffic analysis to the mothership) or remove the Wi-Fi and cellular antennas. While a bit involved, it is entirely possible and will le

Noteworthy that this is in combination with anti-viral drugs at hospital admission: hydroxychloroquine (400 mg every 12 hours on the first day, and 200 mg every 12 hours for the following 5 days), azithromycin (500 mg orally for 5 days). Re

If you have nothing to hide, it's only because there's nobody trying to hurt you right now.

Interstellar space is full of particles flying around. There's plenty of hydrogen in the galaxy. Between galaxies not so much but we're not talking inter-galactic space.

What a neat system it is; I traveled there in 2015 specifically to ride the Schwebebahn, and I was absolutely astounded by this system. What a pleasant presence, so graceful. It really opened my eyes to what was possible at the turn of the

"The medium is the message" In fact it is a Telegram revolution, because Telegram is the tool that is allowing this rage to become organized. That doesn't minimize anything about the protesting or the political situation itse

You're exactly right, which is why we've ended up with a reality TV president. He knows how to play this game, and the game is now very much in favor of ppl that know how to play it. This is the leader we get when enough mid-life

It doesn't have to power the town, it only has to pull power when it's abundant and deliver power when it is not abundant. Using the resource more as a market balancer. There are many examples of this being profitable.

Yeah, I think you're mostly right. I suspect it's going to start with seaplanes (oddly) because they fly short hop routes that are ideal for electric aircraft. Then you'll start to see new routes made economic by electrificat

Modern Sesame Street is a train wreck compared to the Sesame Street of the '80s and '90s. It's actually a statement about how far down contemporary culture has gone. Seems to be mostly unhinged screaming these days.

Yeah basically all airports that have commercial service also have access to power. There are exceptions like seaplane bases and small country strips, but there are more than enough airports with access to commercial or even industrial grad

SpaceX isn't going to piss off China. The satellites are really just repeaters to the local base station. Starlink will be firewalled off from the world just like the rest of China (when the terminal is in China.)

Even if DSL can get there, reliability of the connection in rural areas is often very suspect. A tree falls over in a winter storm, a bad crash that takes out an exchange box, a pole just plain falls over due to shifting ground, or maybe co

Main advantage of Starlink over existing satellite is a (much) lower latency. Starlink constellation is flying by with a new satellite overhead every 10 minutes or less, and they're operating just above the atmosphere. Musk has claimed

Sintering is much slower than casting, and unless the state of the art has improved, usually much weaker too. Also, aluminum is already highly recyclable. Tesla buys aluminum from the mill, and ships back tool cast-offs that the mill then r

Well, he's right. Maybe this is Snowden's chance, I wonder if he'll file another plea for immunity. Clearly Trump's election strategy should be to paint the Democrats as pawns of the deep state whereas he is not, and fre

Why we act at all is not relevant here. The fact is that policy and training produce behavioral outcomes. So if you want to change a behavior in a group of employees, you can train them. What to train them on, how to train them, and how to

This is a nice read and a useful, practical model. Thank you!
