Yep, maybe 10-15 will need to be rehired at double salary. It should be an incredibly formalized process in terms of building new superchargers. Maintaining old superchargers likely requires only 4-5 managers and 40-50 technicians globally,

we've lost the ability to build things quickly in western society. if you want to build nuclear in under 20 years, you'll need to either hire a chinese company to do everything, or turn it into a military-driven Manhattan project.

it's the opposite, a long time ago eclipses were "bigger" and happened more often, as the moon drifts farther away, it seems smaller to us and will no longer be big enough in our sky to block the sun one day.

The permitting fees and time to open a restaurant in SF are astronomical. There is also a finite amount of space in SF, so the owner can collude or otherwise engage in price fixing using his existing market position. also, the owner can dro

This is purely to minimize monopoly accusations. Unless the product is making google billions in profit, it's not worth the risk to google. Podcasts is maybe hundreds of millions of dollars a year, but if regulators found evidence of g

If Firefighter gear is covered in PFAS, and highly carcinogenic, and you don't want them bringing it on the subway, why would you want them to bring it to their homes? The easy, obvious solution is to install safe storage at the fire d

The main purpose of imprisoning white-collar crime is to act as a deterrent. If the upside for a financial crime is billions of dollars, and the potential risk is 25 years in prison, lots of people will be willing to take that risk, especia

Largely a non-story, and anti-solar propaganda. It is a consideration when designing solar panels and fields, but a minor one. Simply an insurance question: insure all the panels, if a storm happens, replace the destroyed panels. With the m

This will never make it past prototype stages, unfortunately. Realistically, you need federal involvement to make something like this happen, a la concorde. I could see the US government getting involved for nationalism purposes if China st
