Do I misinterpret you or does it sound a bit as if you value the responsiveness of your car over the emission standard which exists to protect the health of people as well as the environment? Obviously one can discuss the numbers and limits

The span between 5S and X is pretty much the largest one can make between two phones that continue to get security updates. Your point does stand - an X is an enormous upgrade to the 5S in usability and feel. But barely so in function I wou

Sounds like a good strategy. It is utterly insane that consumers and the industry are fine with battery degradation coercing them into complete $600+ device replacements (further fueled by the "I got the newest phone!" social stat

> Don't upgrade your phone. Seriously. The market makes this easy nowadays. Unless your phone is broken/severely outdated there is next to zero benefit to upgrading at this time. Prices for flagships become prohibitive as well.

You are right. So we must look at why this isn't happening. From a moral perspective it should. Resources and capability are available but the ones at the steering wheel are not willing to allow them to be used. Otherwise it would be d

Wouldn't a drone still emit hot exhaust? Or how does it reach 2,400 mph as described in the popularmechanics article above? That must be some damn nice secret propulsion system.

No, definitely not but they have still made leaps from previous iterations. And I think that's a very positive development. My subjective impression is it basically went from major annoyance to "quite usable". I recently used

As another German I can definitely tell you that no one here sees a Model 3 at anywhere near a BMW in production quality. If Tesla intends to market the Model 3 at the "BMW audience" - whatever differentiates them from, say, the &

Those are far easier to handle than, for example, changing a timing belt on a gasoline engine. Faster too... You need less qualified people, less time, less parts, less often for repairs that a handy person can often do themselves and save

Yes of course, but think about gene therapy for far less intrusive health issues. If more common and widespread health problems are tackled with gene therapy and we wouldn't know the consequences long term (we really don't) then t

The incredibly vast sphere of gene-to-gene interactions is very poorly understood. Anything changed in the DNA can have completely unforeseen consequences because genes and their products influence expression of other genes. Which genes doe

It's much worse than that. We are facing existential issues and need a collective, collaborative effort to solve them on a sustainable basis. It's not going to happen. This isn't one of those "if we can rally all our sci

Changing an Apple Watch/Android Wearable even once every 3-5 years must be the 7th circle of hell for someone like Dieter Rams. It's incredible how normal it has become to switch out $500-$1200 products at such a cycle. Wasteful,
