It's close enough over large groups of people. On average you're going to make more money doing the same thing in SF, for example, than you would in the East Bay.

"Faster than everybody else"? I guess that depends on exactly what you're looking for. This year's Bolt has a 60kWh battery, which is supposed to give it a 238 mile range - more than the base Model 3. What exactly wil

That's true... but if you added 400k more people trying to use those superchargers, would that network still seem useful?

You're talking about two different things. He's talking about the NFL and you're talking about ESPN. Definitely the politics has hurt the NFL, though there's a lot of disagreement over just how much, but football is on

VHF band radars have too many problems to be relied upon operationally. The clutter floor is so high you can't use them to guide missiles. So you use them to cue high frequency radars... which are just the sort of wavelengths at whic

If you've done something illegal you can be assessed all sorts of penalties. But if you've come by your money legally, it's your money. It's not society's money. And it doesn't belong to your fellow citizens
