I don't think Tesla needs to license her design as there is no trademark or patent. They can start manufacturing mini-pickups any time they want to. They probably aren't because the market for small electric pickups with miniature

Fearmongering; this is a legal issue, not a technical one. Does anyone really think they're going to save themselves from thieves by turning off bluetooth? I hope nobody is that naive. This kind of thing also popped up when people real

Amendment process can effectively re-write the constitution, so I view that mechanism as the lowest bar.

> Community booster orgs? The PTA? Yes, yes, and.. social networks. You know, the kind where people call each other and make plans like play dates and canning sessions. These days that seems to be only available to the upper middle class

That happened some time ago. In fact, one of the issues with so many women in the workforce is that in the 50's that same class of women were providing community networking functions, allowing for local problem solving and support that

That really is a government and market policy concern though. Expecting people to globabally adjust their profit-seeking behavior to include ecology is just wishful thinking. People simply are not able, even if well intentioned, to decide w

Getting a pilot’s license and owning a plane is not a time savings unless you are willing to spend a lot on services and a really nice (ice certified) plane. There is a long list of things that a pilot needs to spend their time on to beco

Cover the crash risk with appropriate aircraft insurance and you don’t need to cover it with expensive life insurance. This was my agent’s advice anyhow.

Also fewer problems. Reused floppies had more “I/O Error” and dirt transfer into drives.

It won't feel so good when they realize they've been positively profiled by the company and the store's cameras have been used to build a case against them. This is not really different than a normal checkout and just pocketi

It isn't the voltage that improves the time, though, it's the power. So are you saying that wiring in Europe uses the same or better circuit breakers (e.g. 15A or 20A) at the higher voltage, thus providing more power? Or that the

Yes, it's important to have great tools for helping users with this. Just like how Google Drive goes to great lengths to show which folders are shared and give the user good access to those policies. All I want is for an application to

Yep, and Apple, Google and Microsoft aren't helping. Particularly bad these days is the idea of granting apps permissions; for example, if I want to deploy a new Google Drive application for some whiz-bang thing, I almost certainly nee

The mouse appears to be doing “cargo cult” type of behavior, placing junk in the bin and hoping peanuts will appear. Kind of like managers who hope that requesting documentation will help a better product appear on time. Fascinating.

You're missing the mark here by quite a bit. First of all, LineageOS has nothing to do with iOS and you aren't about to get the masses moving over to LineageOS any time soon. Feel free to tinker, but know that it is not an answer

Never mind the UI. I wanted OS/2 Warp, but it wouldn’t boot on my machine because the RAM’s parity method was not the IBM way. Or at least that was roughly the error code.

Is this like saying that hard working people come out of traumatic childhoods, so we should be sure to throw some trauma into all children's experience? I think they deserve as much of a chance as we had. Here we are almost 80 years af

Yeah but sites wanting a phone # is more to do with its utility as an identifier than anything. And for the sales guys to talk with you.

This is similar perhaps to viewing the distribution of condoms in high school as wrong. Wouldn't that encourage teens to have sex? But when you look at the data, you see that kids who go to high schools with access to condoms have lowe

That's OK. It's not like the potential energy goes away just because you stay overnight. Plus there's a solar panel for all that power you are going to use while making hot toddies in the camper.

Sure, it will guzzle electricity, which is still way cheaper than guzzling gas. The more energy being consumed the better the electric vehicle equation looks. This is why Tesla's semitrailer tractor is exciting. Horsepower is just a pr

SpaceX is almost certainly using an ILS-type radio system for the final 100 meters, both on the boat and on land. GPS just isn't quite good enough, especially out on the ocean where there are no WAAS base stations to cover up GPS'

Personally, I feel no need to complain about SpaceX, whether they blow up rockets or not. They're powering a new golden age of rockets. There's no room in my worldview for complaining about SpaceX. You are free to waste your time

The marketplace is clearly willing to implement hardware speedups for crypto, and in the low-power market where consumption of joules is tracked with multi-digit precision, shuttling expensive power operations to specialized hardware that c

They're willing to pay for security, but they don't want to pay a penny more than they must. Security is not, and never will be, an open-ended budget.
