It bothers me that you attribute this to Elon Musk. This has been obvious to everyone for 75 years or more. The lecturer in my freshman thermodynamics class mentioned it, 35 years ago. In 1999, NREL scientists writing in the journal Scienc

I get it. My point is it's rational to expect it to all be baked into the price. In your example I suspect that the cost of individuals driving to stores dominates, and this is in fact baked into the cost of driving, but individuals ar

To a close approximation the prices of things are proportional to the "soundness" of the scheme. If Digi-Key can afford to put $20 worth of stuff in a box and send it to me overnight, that's their business, not mine. Someone

I don't think you really need sub-millisecond detection to get sub-millisecond service latency. You mainly need to send backup requests, where appropriate, to backup channels, when the main request didn't respond promptly, and you

I am trying to think of a way in which BlackBerry keyboards can be considered to have a portrait layout. The only thing that disappointed me over the history of the BlackBerry was switching from the (morally correct) frowning key rows of th

Also some time after that other guy copied and pasted his canned Hunga remark into his big spreadsheet of climate denial comments the international community of climate scientists concluded that Hunga cooled the atmosphere, on balance. &quo

I looked for all my local mines and none of them are on here. It seems that all of the listed mines for California are stone quarries. It omits the numerous other mines.

Sony was selling new HDCAM VTRs as recently as 10 years ago. I am sure pros are using HDCAM right now. But it doesn't really answer the question: how were films moved to video formats?

There are not "established formulas" or, to the extent that they are, the coefficients and exponents are not determined. The parties always argue about the discount rates and whatnot.

As pointed out in other comments this process is entirely by choice of the court. In other cases where they just felt like ruling on something they have put things on their emergency docket and ruled on them immediately. Letting this situat

Gemini already drives ad revenue. If the conversation goes in that direction it will use product search results with the links attributable to Google.

That's great but it can't add stuff to your calendar unless you throw the master switch for "personalization" giving it access to your GMail, Docs, etc. I tried that and it went off the rails immediately , started yappi
