I'm not familiar with the existing issues, but likely thorough testing and quick scale. I'd expect tile durability and cable corrosion to be the main issues, which seem solveable.

Storage costs are dropping rapidly. New batteries are nearly there for cost competitiveness. As the first generation of BEV batteries become 'spent', they will be reused in grid-scale applications. Space and weight are not a conce

What issues? They did very few installations of previous iterations because they took a long time to install, thus were expensive. Doesn't mean there were any quality issues

This affects ALL of their products. Adobe has a huge suite of free/trial/student tiers as well, which also are rendered unavailable by this decision.

I can't imagine how many art/film creators just lost their current/future livelihood. This stymies the growth of so many individuals, some of whom may have eventually migrated to the U.S. and applied their extraordinary skill

The worst part for Tesla is that the US federal tax rebate can still be used by the competition that is starting to arrive. Tesla fought such an uphill battle to make electric vehicles mainstream, but now can be undercut by $7500 by the inc

Q4 was the last month for $7500 incentive in the US, so they opened up to new markets. Thousands of cars were on ships headed to other countries which aren't counted as 'delivered' until over a month later. Q1 is also consist

It would be cool if everyone was on a skateboard, little car, wheelchair, hoverboard, etc.

For the energy consumption per computation, it is supposedly ~10x better. That matters a lot when you have to account for a limited battery/range and cooling/extra hardware adding complexity to the car.

It seems to me like China wants the electric car manufacturing revolution to mainly be under their control/borders. My guess is that the reason they allowed Tesla so willingly is that Nio and other local companies had already started c

Gravitational waves are hard to detect because of their scale, speed and required precision. Some of the most precise lasers built are repeatedly bouncing light over miles in a tunnel to track changes in arrival significantly less than a tr

Looks like they got a golden escape hatch. Sounds like this arm of the company will end up controlled by a government trust. The best outcome would probably be the government running the operation at break even, lowering costs, and heavily

It is stated to be an order of magnitude better across the broad spectrum than other broad absorbers. I wonder if there are any narrow bands that it specifically excels at compared to existing materials, and how big the difference is.

It doesn't clearly state if those durations are during an active ride, also including time to pickup, or including time active waiting for a pickup task. This subtlety could drastically change the data interpretation.

Maybe the federal/state government should offer some of their generic services and allow wrapping for smaller cities. This assumes at least one higher government body has technical chops and could reasonably extend their codebase. The

Palo Alto has quite a few as well. Some are just marked with signs, many have physical barriers allowing only bikes and large trash collection vehicles to easily pass.

What are the odds they will stick to their own timeline, or slip to bring it to market like everyone else. I'm super curious if their investment also contained a deal to borrow some battery tech from Rivian.

Product managers shouldn't just be watching a product team execute, but planning integrations, negotiating buy in from other teams, and planning how future features/integrations can proceed. Building a product is a human process.

AI has a lot more potential for bias than humans. It depends on the input data which is likely heavily biased based on other data set results like face detection. It will only amplify any small bias present in the data.

Why is this at the bottom? It is amazing that people (even on this site) still don't get how targeting works. Pick a page, word, or interest, and the platforms will target users to match the input, and optimize who is show based on pre

It is a fun thought. Probably far less efficient and slower than current propulsion, but no moving parts is a big plus. Small drones that patrol the ocean for long times would be a cool application. Move a bit until the batteries are nearly

This sounds like a quite promising generation method. They quote 10x10 meter area with 100 layers as potentially generating 2-5 kwh. It fails to mention if water flow can be continuous or has to be droplets and flow speed/salt content
