Ok, even though i am generally pro tesla and like musk, in order to prevent this from becoming a total worshipfest i will provide some facts that elon is not sharing. It is true that tesla has made all their payments under the doe loan agre

Gimme a break. Every government with an auto industry to speak of has supported their auto indusstry at one time or another. And almost every government would love to have a company like tesla in exchange for a few loans that are about to b

You just do not get it do you. I suppose you do not realize the enormous potential of asking people for a twitter/facebook logon when they throw refuse in a hole in the ground. You can then track each person's refuse relate it to the refuse

Congratulations! But I should note that it is very very difficult to quit refined sugar completely. Many things that are not sweet at all can have sugar or hfcs added to them. This includes most bread, pizza, ketchup, all kinds of sauces an

The way solar works in california for small installations is you just produce it and use it and whatever you do not use just send it to the electric company. If you need power you are not producing then you just take it from the electric gr

This is just a bunch of rumors and the author patting himself on the back for being well connected and talking to the right people. Well it may be true, but this article does not really prove it. This is one of the things that, if true, wou

This is very good news. It is especially interesting coming from apple, because apple are incredibly ... shall we say frugal. If they opted for a solar plant they must have calculated that it is in their financial interest. Which means that

No it cannot. What you are linking is a video of using multiple shipping-container generators to form a single power plant. If you explore a bit you will see the brochure(0) for those container based diesel generators and it shows that each

What a load of shit. There have been studies made that show electronic devices disturbing airplane systems. There are many recorded incidents of interference. The WSJ call these "anecdotal evidence" but they happened, and they were document

There can always be worse wreckage. For example, there could be something leaking.

It is not prevalent because they are still testing it and the oil servers are not yet available for purchase. I do hope when they do become available that the price is not too high.

If you are referring to Lyndon Johnson's War on Poverty, you are wrong. It was a significant success and brought poverty rates down to the lowest levels the US had seen before or has seen since. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_on_Poverty

That is what most people think at first but it is wrong. Poverty with its associated lack of education and career opportunities generally causes high birth rates. Countries that improve living standards usually get lower birth rates as a re

There is one annoying thing about these cameras -- they have a large profile/bad aero dynamics. This seems like something that would not be too hard to address either. First of all they look silly (e.g. if you wear them on your helmet). A m

Other users made good points that for a company like Zynga advertising is a significant expense. There is another thing causing losses though -- depreciation of goodwill and other intangibles. It is an issue for companies that do a lot of b

"If I read them correctly the whole business of deciding if something is obvious is seriously broken in that it seems to be limited to combining claims from existing patents." Obviousness is not based on existing patents only. It is based o

I am not sure what the funding is, but Bike roads are much much cheaper than car roads. What makes a road expensive is how much weight it can handle, and when you move from a car to a bike you remove at least 95% of the weight the road has

In LA temperatures rarely fall below 50 degrees in the winter and are rarely above 85 in the summer. Yet LA is jam packed with cars and features traffic jams at any time of day. I think LA is a perfect city for bike streets. There are under

It is very interesting how patent law is now entering the greater engineering popular culture with full force. While I hate to be an elitist, I must mention that patents tend to be complex documents and the full scope of the patent is usual

It is possible. There are many reasons people may have been nervous around cameras. They may have been doing a number of illegal or semi-illegal things, like dealing drugs, embezzling something or other, or even cheating on time-sheets. And

So where does it get the energy? Suppose you get a rope made out of this meta material and tie one end to a nail in a wall, and tie a weight to the other end. The material should contract and lift the weight up. Thus, by lifting the weight,
