Slack replaced Skype chats mostly for me and it did also reduce email. It was really important for us, because important decisions were being agreed in the midst of a Skype chat, which was only in your history on one machine and not easily

It's not science fiction, it's just drilling holes in the ground vs waiting for flying cars. It may be expensive - but you only have to build each tunnel once. There's a startup that got some hype recently for flying an elect

The global ugliness of cars is amazing. Especially with electric cars. Personally I think Audi does better than most with producing decent looking cars. Ferarri, Lamborghini, Maserati, Aston Martin (plus Porsche which I'm not a fan of

I think it's also worth mentioning that the EPA rating of the Tesla is 0. So the 479 g/mi for the Cherokee is just the emissions. So - Model S CO2 = 0 (EPA) + 292 (other factors) - Cherokee CO2 = 479 (EPA) + ? (other factors) Thos

Not sure if you mean the CO2 claim or the battery recycling claim. CO2 claim is open to argument I guess, but the battery recycling is pretty certain. They will definitely have battery recycling at the Gigafactory and it makes perfect sense

They have special machines in Belgium that clean the snow off all of the bike paths - and yes, then people do cycle.

Yes - Elon Musk has quoted quite a few times that even if all electricity is generated via Coal then a Tesla still produces less CO2 than a Prius. Plus things are improving all the time with electric. That's one of the wonderful things
