It isn't difficult to examine the science reported to date, combine it with first principles, and have a pretty good idea if a scientific idea is correct or not. By the time regulators have overcome inertia and industry pressure and c

So there must be a real reason this is being planned, besides the obviously fake reasons mentioned.

Can't the city afford to build a nice set of apartments there, and let everyone continue to live in the same location with the same rent?

How would anyone know the extent of shady dealings?

Why is this rather pointless comment voted so highly? You could certainly argue that Musk was quite fortunate at certain key points, but really, who else has accomplished anything remotely similar?

There is a lot more than simply voting that a person living in a democracy can do to improve things.

It would be interesting to see this group do a similar test on speakers. They have a nicely designed experimental setup. A speaker test should show a clear cost/performance relationship.

It is hard to overstate the impact of this announcement. Just as solar panels were not expected to reach $0.70/watt until 2030 (reached it last year), batteries were not expected to reach $400/kWh until years from now. It is now q

Price reference? Looks like they are 2x Tesla's price.

Compared to making a feature film, the budget required to check this out very carefully isn't much. Worth it, even if it has 1 in 10000 odds (my guess).

Obviously you can't go off grid without a solar system, what would charge the batteries? To quote from the original post: "Solar panels are cheap enough you only need batteries to last one night, as you can size the array to opera

Going off grid isn't something one does lightly.

Obviously there is a lot more than just the batteries. In solar systems, $7k is not a big amount compared to all the other expenses. I'm assuming you'd minimize your loads, it is silly to size your solar system for a business-as-

This is much more groundbreaking than it may appear. The innovation is entirely in the price. At $3500, you can put in two and be entirely off grid. Solar panels are cheap enough you only need batteries to last one night, as you can size

A lot of police work takes place in public areas, where there is no expectation of privacy and anyone is able to take pictures and video. There doesn't seem to be any reason not to make all footage from public areas generally available

It is because the FDA's prime mission is to protect the drug manufacturers from any non-drug competition.

Fortunately, solar photovoltaic doesn't need servicing. Energy is big business, revenue will be there for servicing once market share is there.

There will always be people losing money in dumb investments. But with more diverse investment in startups, we should see a greater number and variety of successful ones.

Just because a problem has been solved poorly in the past doesn't mean it can't be solved correctly in the future.

So does Apple make these videos more to attract customers or more to demoralize the competition? Hard to say.

I think that until 50000 people per year are flying to orbit, the race is not yet over.

Steve Jobs was Apple's parents. Apple is realizing that their parents are gone. No rules, they are starting to realize they can do anything they want. Within the limits of their $0.2T cash on hand, of course.

The potential for terrorism is a problem that is easily solvable, especially when compared with the challenge of building a sub-orbital aircraft (which basically accelerates to almost orbital velocity before reentering as if from orbit). Bu
