Sort of? We don't use electric vehicles for heat, so they are sort of fuel agnostic when it comes to where the electricity is coming from; we burn fossil fuels to make heat or electricity. The future proofing argument makes some sense

This makes no sense to me. Explain where I have this wrong... 47% of electricity in California is generated from natural gas. https://ww2.energy.ca.gov/almanac/electricity_data/total_sys... So about 50% of the el

This is a simple articulation around something I've wondered for a while. From a regulatory perspective should we be less concerned with regulating the content on the platform (e.g. a single post, copywrited material) and more concerne

This makes sense. Why is it hard for these stores to process cash in some way? Why not just have the ability to put cash into a machine in the store and spit out an anonymous account? (asking seriously)

I wouldn’t have even had the patience to post those pictures to instagram the way they did let alone reconstruct the trench run. Amazing.

Can confirm this is terrifying. Zero out of 5 stars. I once pulled a bristle out from between my molars. Thought about it for 5 minutes...realized it was from the grill (was eating a salad made of leftover grilled chicken). Googled “wire gr

So more “vacation”, but dead at 40. Sounds like a great trade.

You’re confusing cost plus pricing with value based pricing. Answer this question, “How much is it worth to you the customer to be able to...” and that’s probably how they got to $20/month.

It's uncontroversial that Tesla is in the "figuring it out in ramp-up a factory stage". What I fail to see (that this article really drives home) is that they aren't actually building anything resembling a defensive moat

This was my thought exactly. I'd like to know the answer to that. I think there's a difference b.w "we won't hire people over X yo for this job" and "90% of our applicants for this role are younger so we'

Incumbent business interests colluding with government under the guise of “public safety” to enact regulation and licensing just to build artificial moats and protect themselves from competition is such fiendish invisible form of corruption

> Inflation is measured against a basket of goods - but those goos also increase in value, i.e. a tomato in 1985 may not be actually the same thing as a tomato in 2017 - if it's riper, nicer, healthier (not saying they are, but coul

I actually agree with much of that assessment; I just don't think it paints the full story over the arc of history. I also don't think access to and domain over raw materials or "riches" equates to wealth in the same wa

Wrapping ribs in foil is essentially boiling them in their own steam. Mushy and bland unless you're a pro. The oven is fine, but if you want speed and smoke taste, brine and cook at 300 degrees on a grill for about an hour. Best of bot

I use proto.io and really like it. It's got the templates you're looking for, but can also do some pretty advanced (for a prototyping tool) animations and UI logic using variables.
