i am not knowledgeable about the charging network in either the u.s. or in china. but china has sold more electric cars than anyone, so if i were to wager a guess, i would have to assume the charging network is superior to the one in the u.

you are the one uninformed, so maybe you should do a search? there is nothing mysterious about chinese auto manufacturers, in particular the ones making electric vehicles. what do you consider the "market at large"? as someone els

those are all excuses that, in my opinion, causes one to ignore the progress over there. it's dangerous thinking. do you really think that tesla is as safe as other established car manufacturers? (i am aware of their "ratings&quot

when i visited china, it was filled with electric cars from multiple manufacturers, and the fit and finish was just as good if not better than tesla. i don't view tesla as beyond anyone. when other car manufacturers enter the market, t

could you give a list of the MOOCs you have taken, or at least a list of your favorites? i am interested in hearing about them.

what is curious to me is that that synth is famous for being extremely unfriendly to program. its usability is pretty bad and goes against many of his principles. i love bret victor's thinking and work since he became independent thoug

google's "must include" feature is one of their worst features ever. it nearly always removes the most unique, defining search term. it has been showing up with increasing frequency. i can't remember a time where it was

> my wife and I frequently use VR for all sorts of things. for what? you didn't give any examples except the demonstration of the existence of VR products and VR "stuff".

it is actually true. many manufacturers, say kia, have multiple models. that's a fact. then, they iterate on these models every year. that's also a fact. yes, it is true that they typically have a major design on a specific model

janelle monae is awesome, but could you elaborate on what you mean by mentioning black panther? i felt it was the same action packed drivel and cgi fest as all the other marvel movies. the fashion in the movie is great, but it also has some

is this a serious comment? i am not that old and not that young, and VR has been "around the corner" for 10 to 15 years already. even with all the hype and the amount of people that have been feverishly working on it, there's

yeah, because we can sum up the entirety of interaction design with googly eyes.

it's not the same thing. they made significant upgrades, especially such that the embedded platform (basically a smartphone board) is powerful enough to run the sdk without having a smartphone tethered like comzo had to have.

what is wrong with being a toy? you are oversimplifying the situation by reducing this toy to its components. it's like calling a furby a terrible and uncomfortable electronic pillow. it doesn't even make sense. and you convenient

that's not true at all. the entire point of .net core is to address this very issue with the .net framework.

even the english interface isn't great. they haven't fully translated/globalized all menus, dialogs, and features. i often get chinese dialog options popping up that were arrived at via actions in english. as a chat app, wech

how is tesla the future? they are still figuring out how to reliably manufacture a very small number of stagnant models, whereas every other car manufacturer iterates on multiple models every year, and it all works like clockwork and yields

i know how to use the repl. i moved between computers during comments and wasn't able to inspect my repl session where it originally returned false. as i mentioned, i must have redefined something or shadowed something which caused con

i don't understand what you are "no, not true"-ing. it's just analogy. you pointed out a flaw if one happens to take the analogy too far, but i don't see the point when the original analogy was clear enough what the

thank you for clarifying exactly what's going on. other than the __qualname__, in what other ways do the two different bindings differ from each other? however, this still goes in the bucket of why i personally dislike python. this jus
