On the other hand, NYTimes was wrong about WMD in Iraq, and those articles were sourced from numerous anonymous government officials. Turns out, just as in this case, those government officials had an agenda. In 2003, it was starting a pr

You have a great point. If an agent of the Trump administration wanted to "plant" anonymous-sourced stories to justify a trade war with China, this is exactly the type of story they would plant. And if we don't believe it co

Sorry, I hate to break it to you, but Audi's E-tron is basically being used as an example of how far behind Tesla the rest of the industry is when it comes to efficiency and battery technology: https://www.cnbc.com/2018

The audio system's volume controls have a physical knob - it's on the left of the steering wheel. You can change volume up and down, just like almost any car with audio controls on the steering wheel, except it's a dial, un

Tesla Model 3 is the most efficient and best quality electric vehicle I've seen. I've owned one for over 6 months now, and early on it was glitchy and needed a lot of software updates, but for the last 3 months it has been extrem

I've sent many Bitcoin transactions into the 6 figures of USD recently, and never paid more than $0.25 for a transaction fee. Think about this: What does your bank charge for a wire transfer? Mine wants to charge $37. And how long

If we truly paid what it cost for content, instead of fueling about $1 trillion in middle-men, creators could get paid (very handsomely) and we wouldn't have as many societal problems. I'm cautiously optimistic that a utility toke

The number 1 reason is that you're operating an older, insecure version of iOS and you could get your entire device compromised just by getting a malicious text message or visiting the wrong web page.

I interviewed at Google (back in 2005, mind you) and I remember being asked a couple brain teaser questions like how to estimate the number of windows in NYC. I will say that out of my loop, there were only 2 interviewers that came across a

This, but also, human drivers do similarly awful things like stop at the end of a long acceleration on-ramp when they should have been accelerating to match the speed of traffic they are attempting to merge into.

The main reason why Apple would be interested in self-driving cars is eyeballs. If we believe that self-driving cars are inevitable, whatever the timeframe, consumers will have a lot more free time while they are commuting, and guess what t

So basically, your calculations for deciding whether purchasing physical GPUs or using cloud GPUs is more cost effective should add $5,000 (50 hours at $100 an hour seems reasonable) onto the cost of any physical rig, and assume you have a

This is spot on. They offered me $6500 for my car, which was way below blue book. I sold it on Craigslist for $9700 a few days later.
