Highway self-driving is pretty much consumer-grade now. Infiniti already has it in their vehicles. Telsa is planning on rolling it out this summer. The main problem is urban and suburban driving and dealing with unexpected situations suc

Except Google's core competency is software. Google has the advantage of being essentially controlled by Sergey Brin and Larry Page. They only need one of those things to succeed (cars). It's hard to imagine that one of the exis

It makes sense to have the base load be something that is easily dispatchable and reliable. Renewables are an option in the short term, however the holy frail is nuclear fusion, which is clean, reliable and relatively cheap (building the i

Despite, the inefficiencies (losing 20-30%) there are large environmental impacts associated with turning a large amount of land into a lake. Additionally, when a drought occurs almost all the storage capacity is lost. We are at the stage

Over building renewables and transport capacity would probably be worse than the status quo in terms of cost and carbon generation. Peak power, which is dictated by people's general schedule, dictates both the generation and capacity

You rather ironically left out the most historic event this week, the US normalizing relations with Cuba. To say the news this has been a busy newsweek is an understatement.

I think he meant that the malware that was used was pretty advanced and the information that was hard-coded would've taken a lot of time to gather. The movie's premise was only publicly announced last June.

The best hack to get around this is to create a holding company, so then that holding company name appears instead. This might be a costly measure, but well worth it if you value your privacy. However, in most property records also inclu

I wouldn't consider buying an iPhone on a subsidized contract a loan because you are just commiting to have service for a set period of time. You would be paying the same amount for service regardless if you were under contract or not

There is extreme group think in subreddits like /r/politics and /r/libertarian. The main problem is that the quality of content degrades extremely quickly as the community grows. It has been eternal september there sin

The other problem is that community gets to decide what content is on top of the page by upvoting. As the community gets larger some more quality in depth and technical submissions won't get the same upvotes as a simple meme post.

I think that how long the account has been around should have more of an effect to a cut off like 6 months or 1 year. It's pretty easy to accumulate karma by making garbage posts with memes and spamming those.
