Really impressive that this can handle basically everything that's thrown at it. "Yeah, it'll provide power and is backwards compatible with other protocols. External GPU to game with your laptop? No problem. Oh, and the conn

I'm willing to bet all of the ICE-related maintenance will cost more than a battery pack replacement.

- Electric vehicles are more energy efficient. - Gasoline requires lots of transport. (Shipped across the ocean, trains, refinery, delivered to a gas station, travels with the car until burned.) - Electric vehicles last longer. - Electric

I'm hesitant to agree with removing character limits, but when people are posting images as text you know you have a problem.

Your data must be from the industrial revolution. We have decades of data from dense European cities that indicate better health and quality of life. Also just look at the health of rural people versus urban people in the US--the obesity

The buildings weren't built robustly enough for that. They're cheap crap and often have horrible lighting and energy efficiency. (Not to mention that if you must drive to it, it's inherently bad for the environment.) Also, no

At times it feels like a Flash site from 15 years ago--too much animation and it can be really heavy-handed.

>Nearly every city it alludes to being gutted is thriving. What do you mean by "thriving"? The cities that have nice walkable urban centers avoided their destruction via highway. NYC and Boston stood up to their interstate plan

That's a separate issue from how the interstates interface with cities. Interstates outside of city centers are fine (see European cities). The destruction of the human-scale urban fabric is the primary concern.

I blame a weak government that can be influenced by outside monetary pressure and lobbying. I also blame ignorance and prejudice against minorities and the poor. The fact is The Big Three plus the oil industry has a lot more monetary influe

No private entity should be allowed to put "United States" in their title because of this exact confusion. This issue has been brought up in municipalities and the businesses were forced to remove the name of the city.

That's a good point. I'd be more inclined to watch a network if all I had to do was go to their website (or app) to get a live feed. I think it's CBS who charges you for such a privilege. lol

It seems like the Kevin Rose of 5 or so years ago would have been excited to work on watch apps. The Kevin Rose of today is excited about fetishizing archaic jewelry. It makes me sad because he's shown time and time again that he'

I love that we're in an era where we expect sites and interfaces to be more than just desktop pixel grids. Designing in the browser feels like you're actually crafting something real, the same way a carpenter is refining the actua

Many of the artists are priced out. Moving to NYC in the 70's and getting a brownstone for cheap seems like it would have been an incredibly interesting time.

Well that's fine, but they're just going to extort a sweet old lady to make up the difference. Everyone paying the same price with no middlemen is my preferred model.
