It definitely seems plausible that BEVs are a better value overall, but I wonder how many EVs have gotten to 200k to make a comparison, and if the comparison is just EVs in general vs gas cars in general which you would figure is somewhat s

I can't quite figure out what the average transaction price measure KBB is using here is. going by their tables by category (for example, an average of $26,379 for compacts)[1] and that the price is now below sticker[2], it looks like

It's hard to say how effective it is but an aspect of that sort of punishment is general deterrence which became more common versus reformation approaches in the 80s and 90s, where the intent is to increase the perceived risk of the cr

I think Cisco has the highest marketshare in terms of commercial routers, and probably a higher percentage of use in areas that might be of state actor interest. If you have a WatchGuard for example there may be the same amount of vulnerabi

Some of these numbers came out in the Apple suit, it worked out to about $2.37 per user with 7% going on to pay for something giving a cost of $33.23 per paying customer acquired, and an estimated revenue of $40 per paying customer. https:

I think both are useful. If I'm talking with my Mom, or most people I would talk to on Facebook or say Linkedin it seems like a good fit but not most other places. Having an avatar in public places with randoms and the option for a rea

I think lack of pay is a big issue as well. (most) everyone has a number where they'd get on a ladder and learn say roofing, but it's typically much higher than $22.50 an hour.

A couple of places fingers are pointed at are increased fidelity requirements and complexity as hardware has improved, increased use of outsourcing (see Halo Infinite and Star Citizen), churn and larger teams which makes effective collabora

The statement by UK Monopoly and Restrictive Practices Commission seems to be inaccurate as the objective was an average lifespan of 1,000 hours, not "on average a minimum life of 1,000 hours" as bulbs that exceeded 1,000 hours

There's also gov and private research, and the things in between. GPS for example is DoD, the gov gov has funded lots of companies that make new things, like In-Q-Tel funding Keyhole which made the precursor to Google Earth[1], or Orac

I've heard good things about Vertigo 2 and VTOL VR. Gorilla Tag was popular for a bit also, and Contractors has some fun basically total conversion mods recently, like a TF2 and Battlefront 2 gamemode. Into the Radius is nearing it&#x2

I think this depends on whether you assess Elon as actual power, or something closer to new money trying to put themselves in the position of being actual power.

I don't think I've heard sell-through used before as a metric in that way, typically I recall seeing it as a percentage such as 80% of units shipped to stores have sold through to consumers. Units sold is what I typically see, lik

If I remember right this approach was a key pillar to the Xbox One at launch, with for example the Crackdown demo[1] using cloud for much more advanced physics/building destruction than the release game, with statements to effect of 3x

The two big ones are the Sinden Lightgun and Gun4ir, the Sinden uses a white box at the corners of the screen and a camera in the lightgun while the Gun4ir is similar to the Wii's sensor bar. No first hand experience but the Gun4IRs se

Another potential advantage of cultured cells is higher amino acid digestibility/DIAAS[1] scores, which is generally much higher in whole animal based foods , for example chicken breast is rated a 1.08, eggs a 1.13, Soy a .91, chickpea

I think the focus on nature might be a byproduct or reaction to modern jobs, technology and creature comforts decreasing the participation people have with the world around them. This makes it easy to want to return to a time (real or not)

I agree, but I don't know if it's fair to say that people just never thought "maybe we should try". See for example the Mined Minds program. This self sabotaging goes the other way too also, remember "learn to code&
