I agree, laptops have moved to terrible intel GPUS and are much worse for it because intel conned oems into thinking it was a decent GPU. They brand them as "multimedia" which just means it can stream video up to its screen resolu

Hagens Berman’s automotive legal team has dedicated substantial resources to uncovering cheating devices used by automakers. The firm has become a trailblazer in this highly specialized realm, outpacing federal and state agencies in unmask

Any word on open sourcing parts of the windows OS now that MS is seeing the light? The head guys have to see the benefits by now. It says something that MS chose Git over anything proprietary that they developed.

When you make traveling easier for people, more people will do it - induced demand. Why can't anyone grasp this concept? You want to create autonomous cars so that basically 100% of the population can be on the road at any given time a

I really think health care costs in the US are a byproduct of Americans obsession with convenience. Most lifestyles can be lived without any physical activity - the whole country is designed around the car. Traveling around a bit I've

Well to me it is important to remember who the people are that want it - These are professionals and developers that create applications for the OS (mobile and desktop) as well as creatives who have kept Apple afloat in rough times. I wou

I wonder what the OS and software guys at Apple think about the lack of options in their own hardware department. It must be a little frustrating to be invested into the software as a developer but know that a lot of pro users (people like

I have read a lot of articles about learning functional programming to make you a better programmer with conventional OO or imperative languages - but this does not make sense to me. The argument is "learn these concepts that are not a

1. You are comparing all of tesla models to individual models from other brands 2. You want to speculate on the future market, go ahead, I dont think Tesla has any special position on lithium batteries. 3. Solar is not a hockey stick, not s

1. Nope. Are you just pulling numbers from a hat? Nissan sold 14,000 leafs last year, add that to the 24,000 volts and the 8,000 i3s and you get more than the model S. 2. Im saying the current business is minuscule, if we looked at elons pr

Yeah I think car companies should focus less on making cars... - Your first point is cars - there are a ton of evs for sale from many large companies and direct sale doesn't seem to sell more cars than indirect. - Tesla is partnering w

Fair enough, but take anything in computers and replace it with "Machines" and it illustrates the point. ram could be called "Machine memory" or a network could be called a "Machine communication matrix" or in

Stop calling it "Machine Learning" and "Neural Networks" if you don't want the attention. Do we refer to code or computers as "Machines?". That kind of language is just begging for skynet references. Any s

The bolt and the volt are well engineered products at a very reasonable price point. I think GM is innovative with these platforms

you are correct, my bad. I did think before I spoke though so that was not necessary. It is interesting how angry people get when you say anything negative about tesla. And my point stands that anyone has access to battery technology - Sams

Tesla doesnt make batteries they just package the cells, anyone can do this if the market demands it. Automotive companies are quite good at supply chains.

Tesla looks like they will lose that cool new thing vibe soon, the novelty of an electric car will wear off - especially when porsche or benz come out with an electric sedan or coupe. These companies will offer a much more compelling produc

I agree, we complain about the lack of STEM grads and CS education then we give them a web browser and some "Apps" to learn computing. Heading in the wrong direction.

Citing the low unemployment rate of STEM graduates to indicate that native workers have nothing to worry about is silly. Basic economics says that wages do not increase until full employment is reached. I may have a job but my wage would

We tested their engine back in 2013, it had an offset and a timer for the coolant temperature. So if you waited long enough between the test cycles the timer would run out and the actual coolant would be relayed to the ECU which would then

Not true at all, I am not sure what you are even talking about. Automatics are way more complicated and error prone, a stick is literally just gears, synchronizers and some torque shafts. Also manual transmissions having problems with &quot

Generally speaking a product company can't thrive off supply chain innovations. The market will move to commodification at some point.

It seems like the minutia and subtlety of many c++ features at the cost of simplicity and readability lend themselves to cocky, in-love-with-themselves developers like this guy (who tells us upfront he wasn't actually building anything
