I wish it wasn't vaporware. :( I wish the best for them, but that 84mpg is an estimate for an engine that hasn't been built yet and might be outdated by the time it gets produced. (If it ever does.)

Having bought a new car recently, and having to drive 100 miles, past 4 dealerships, just to get to a dealership that was willing to give me a reasonable price (still high, but reasonable) for a car that is in low demand, I support every co

Thank you!!! I was coming here to post exactly this. They say 'The “92% efficiency” figure quoted by Tesla isn’t as good as it sounds'... Then they just grab numbers from other technology on the market and jam out some made up num

Most high end DB support is very expensive. Cassandra, Oracle, etc, etc. What bothers me more than anything was Aerospike felt the need to compare a benchmark done on an in-memory dataset directly with a Cassandra benchmark on dataset that

They want it unencrypted so they can snarf all of the data. You can tunnel SSL over HTTP though. App developers have no real worries, but regular content delivery via http isn't going to fly.

Doing it, and doing it fast enough to guide a missile at > mach 2 are different things entirely. The rate that you have to constantly be calculating the spin (if any) and the vector and speed is incredible. OTS 5-10hz refresh will not cu

You need to poll many frequencies at once, very quickly, in order to make a missile that can respond fast enough. Maybe it's possible with a very wide SDR, but I've not seen one where it was.

I'm saying the laws need to be changed because it doesn't protect anyone. Better to just make it legal and work to protect us in other ways.

I'm no expert on that. I thought it was just managed Mysql. The google stuff scales pretty well for startups who are starting to blow up.

Yep. Google hasn't met any of my needs when I play with it. I always end up back on AWS. Lambda is a stunning system IMHO. I do like Google's new DB. It is like an easy to use spark w/ cassandra backend, all behind the scenes

I'm with you, but did you read that the increase was already paid for out of profits and by reducing his own salary? I'm not sure if he is still head of the board or what, but this is definitely a bold move. Still, $70k in Seattle

No... That isn't my argument at all. I guess you should go back and read my argument again because you clearly can't understand it in a single go. The reason the prices go up are because the fed absorbs all of the technology-power
