Article does not even mention the Kaiser Permanente cement plant which has a dedicated train line bringing in coal for burning, is one of the largest sources of mercury pollution in California, and is perched right over Cupertino, Sunnyvale

Many jobs are CS degree or equivalent experience but people misread them as CS degree only. The domain name is somewhat misleading and perpetuates a misconception. People without CS degrees sometimes have plenty of CS skills and knowledge.

There are three cameras there and they are spaced out so it is possible the occlusion is not as much as you imply.

We will never know what other disasters we fortunately avoided though. And the automotive industry would have kept pushing gas cars, and we would not have averted global warming. I mean... here you are, saying we have a disaster looming, an

But with solar, both options are available. I’d much rather have that flexibility without being forced to swallow a huge nuclear project or even small mini reactors infesting my area.

How much money was spent on it, building it, operating it, cleaning it up, and losing what had been invested in the region around it? How have these costs have been passed on to the Japanese population as taxes, fees, or in other ways? I do

It also creates a vulnerability to crony capitalism, top-down control, corruption, and overtaxation.

It's not only about safety though. A big problem with nuclear is the centralization it entails. Big, centrally controlled power, in contrast with localizable options like solar, lends itself to heavy handed state control, big industry

Some of the variable names used: i, j, t, qu1, S, n, N, U, X, y1, y2, V I know others have already commented on this but I think it's worth laying out all of the cryptic variables and asking: are some of these shorthand for well known

Yes you’ve noticed Elon is human, as many of us have. But Jack Ma is... remarkable. You should watch the video.

John Carmack among others agrees with you about Tesla acceleration not being antisocial. Here he is talking about it (timestamp in link takes you to the right part of the video): https://youtu.be/Ua-ikbZVofc?t=674

What's stopping you from using Waze in a Tesla? It has worked great for me in the past, and I assume would now as well. This is like people who think that by using one browser you must "switch" and get rid of the others... no

It gets improved over time with frequent updates though, including new map data. And I don't know how stale your knowledge is on this, so I wouldn't be so sure this is a problem. People tend to repeat very old information a lot ab

Even though I brought up limiting distribution, whether or not they limit distribution has absolutely no bearing on people’s decisions if those people have the perception that distribution might be limited to dealers. Perception is all it t

There are a few clickbait articles out there, but don't believe everything you hear. Repairs, the very few I've had (two flat tires and one camera issue) have not been that bad. Flat tires were: mobile service came to where I was

People have a perception that third party parts are inferior. Maybe Toyota limits access to some OEM parts by others for whatever reason.

I think for many of them, though not all, a secret they would never admit is that they don't really know whether they believe or not. And some simply do not believe, but would not want to admit that because it would be embarrassing giv

Yeah I see what you mean. I guess for everyday driving I don't miss toggle switches and I still have plenty of fancy physical multi-axis spinning clicking rocking buttons to play with (in the Model 3). I like the overall experience a l

If it’s convenience you’re after, I’d rank touch screens by themselves at the bottom, but that’s not what the Model 3 has. Driver side dash as you call it I would rank in the middle for convenience. There is also some convenience in having

Everyone commenting on this should be aware that Tesla has different generations of keyfob technology. The Model 3 keyfobs for instance make a different tradeoff with convenience versus security, being slightly less convenient and way more

The newer Tesla keyfobs don’t emit RF unless you either click a button, or are inches away from the RFID reader on the driver door pillar. Maybe could still be defeated with a very long range RFID reader? I don’t know how long range they ge

It doesn't help that BMW decided to make it so small. It definitely does not suck on the Model 3.

Having a great touch screen does not rule out also having great buttons. I don't know how long your test drive was but you may have missed that there are plenty of physical controls in the S, including buttons, that cover most function
