Also same with cold . Up north it’s a fools errand to run heavy machinery past about -55c. The steel develops tiny fractures, and six months later the ten ton loader will just break in half. Most stop as it approaches -50c

Without a doubt. I'm also sure the sun rising is a tad more reliable than a coal plant.. at least for another few billion years.

<Sigh> Australia went through this very same propaganda when a once in 100 year lightning storm caused a big grid interconnect failure, and a large part of an entire state was without power for weeks [1] The Politicians at the time sp

All of those answers are talking about the energy required to stop the moon dead in it's tracks. What if we just wanted to slow it down 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000001% ? (which will alter it's orbit). That seems totally d

I've always thought one day we will know autonomous driving systems are working pretty well when a vehicle any normal person can drive can complete a lap of the ring faster with no humans inside than with.

Where did I say anything about 2014? I was saying that comparing a product from 2018 to what is available today is dishonest.

It's like showing a video of an iPhone taking ages to load a web page or a very grainy photo that it took.. but it's from a 5 year old iPhone. FSD has come a LONG way in 5 years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43L

> The photo is of a Jan 2018 crash So still more than 5 years out of date. Would you accept a photo of a 5 year old iPhone on an article about some iPhone limitation? Would you accept a photo of a 5 year old version of Uber on an artic

Don't forget all the drunk, high & exhausted drivers too. 100 people are killed every single day on the roads in the US. Day in and day out.

I've published a few self-published books on Amazon about my global adventures. While sales are not making me rich, they certainly do sell month after month.

After working at a very large Telco with 50,000 employees and management style straight from the 1950's, your comment hit the nail precisely on the head. I put faces to the positions in your comment, and it sent shivers down my spine.

It will be a crazy world when a company has to pay a camera manufacturer if they want their logo to be legible in any photos taken... Surely there's a Black Mirror episode...

You're complaining that Apple sell a laptop with specs you don't want, while they sell a laptop that does have the specs you want. Utter nonsense. I think you just want something to complain about.

You missed the point entirely. The base level Porsche is absolutely slow compared to the top-end. The base level Tesla has vastly less range than the top-end. The base level card from NVidia is a joke compared to the top end. Companies

> Is this the year where Apple increases the memory on the base model above 8GB? Will they finally allows you to have 32GB of memory on the macbook Air? This reasoning makes no sense. You are talking about the cheapest and lowest spec
