I do not like living in high-density areas. I like being able to drive and park wherever I need to go - work, the grocery store, restaurants, etc. One of the things I like about being in the South Bay is that it allows me to live this way.

What sort of scenarios require 3 or more USB ports simultaneously on the go? I can understand at a desk, but I'm having a hard time imagining a non-contrived scenario where you would need them regularly on the go.

It's a major factor for me as well. I'm even leery of these always-connected infotainment systems in modern cars.

The title makes sense on that company's blog, but in the context of HN it could appear to mean that the Mac App Store itself is going away.

A big flaw of deniable encryption software is that it's only used by people who use the deniable part, so its use strongly suggests the existence of such hidden data. Whether or not that's sufficient to detain someone and demand t

It would be a huge stress and inconvenience if a company sued me, even if I eventually won or the suit was thrown out. I'd have to find a lawyer, deal with the company's lawyers, show up in court, etc. That alone is enough of a de

Even if the lawsuit is without merit, Tesla still wins because future former employees will be more reluctant to try and recruit their former coworkers if they know Tesla will sue them for it.

I'm kind of surprised that they're so adamant that the pricing should be hWk based. It seems to me that time-based pricing would have made sense - Superchargers are a limited resource, so a time-based approach would have encourage

If people were dissatisfied with Twitter, they could leave and join App.net. If enough people did this and App.net reached critical mass, it could have become the default service of its kind. Since the primary motivation for people switchin

This is an unfortunate, but not unexpected, end of an era. App.net was created at a time when discontent was high with how Twitter was treating its users and 3rd party app developers. Even though App.net wasn't hugely successful, its e

Agreed about being "designed to fail". Apparently the swaps cost $60-$80 and were by appointment only. It's no wonder that nobody chose to do it. http://www.businessinsider.com/teslas-battery-swapping-plan-...
