The "movie plot" part of my brain loves this theory, but Hanlon's razor suggests otherwise.

I can't imagine how this would deal with damage. A large amount of Tesla's safety comes from each cell having a micro-fuse connecting it to the module bus, so a failed cell simply disconnects itself. Large single battery plates mi

Ironically enough, the 12v battery seems to work much harder in Teslas, since the electronic systems don't enter deep sleep as aggressively as they do in other cars. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/nea

I pay 1 or 2 ATM fees per year, because I just look for credit unions, and the vast majority of CUs are in mutual networks where ATMs are fee-free for each other's members. Even while traveling -- finding a CU ATM in the Denver airport

Whoah. This is breathtakingly off-topic but totally profound, as it encapsulates a lot of how and why I get involved in arguments and feel fruitless afterward. Thank you for writing it. It'll have to rattle around in my brain for a whi

I'd like to posit a far more insidious impetus: Xenophobia. Yes, most of the people on the bacon bandwagon just enjoy the stuff. It's tasty, and bacon-flavored ice-cream is a great joke. But there's also a vein of white-supre

It gets even more interesting when you put the machine into suspend, and time starts passing without timer interrupts getting serviced. Or when NTP notices that your local clock is drifting, and attempts to discipline it. As they say on the

If you replaced the logic with a microcontroller, you'd still need a room full of input and output modules to send those signals hither and yon. You don't just toss a floppy-drive cable down a 14-mile tunnel, not if you expect it

Theoretical max efficency of PV is 40% and we're not likely to get there any time soon. Do the math: http://physics.ucsd.edu/do-the-math/2011/09/dont-be-a-pv-eff... We're at about 15% now but let&#x
