No it isn’t, wether Apple stores its data in a contract data center or one it owns doesn’t change the fact that if you don’t believe encryption is effective then it’s a lost cause to worry about the privacy of your data.

If your model is "even encryption isn't good enough" then you might as well not care because there is nothing you can do to protect it.

Yes, I’ve read that article. It essentially boils down to the author insinuating that all wealth must be the product of some nefarious scheme and that these people who simply followed the law some how did something wrong. Very biased repor

When there is no expectation of arrest or prosecution because the DA won’t prosecute you don’t need a get away vehicle. The article says target changed their hours and closes early and Walgreens is closing their stores because theft is so r

While I totally believe that undue pressure from parents would cause kids to be unhappy the narrative that follows to justify that pressure is total non-sense. I mean they are literally claiming that anyone that doesn't manage to go t

I think most electric car fires are the result of serious damage to a vehicle from a serious crash. I don't believe there are any documented cases of a Tesla catching fire in a private garage and burning the owner's house down.

Have you ever seen the movie "Robot Jox"? it's about a future where conflict is settled using a match between two human piloted robots. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102800/

I knew a guy growing up who's gas car caught fire in his garage while it was parked and burned it down. I think your assumptions about when and how different kinds of cars catch fire are wrong.

Originally they didn't want you to use the manual handle regularly but they added a software feature that rolled the window glass down a bit when you pull the handle and stopped warning not to use it unless it was an emergency.

For that price I would expect a much nicer frame. Looks like it is plastic.

Yes, my assumption is they will do that in ~5 years.

Their product is so popular production of their Model Y is essentially sold out for the 3rd quarter with 2 weeks to go in the second quarter. They are in a business that has massive efficiency advantages as it scales. There is a good chan

It is a reflection of very high growth and is being valued using a discounted cash flow model based on expected future earnings. Extremely rational.

Unlike self insurance they are still pooling risk among all their policy holders.

Always wondered why perpetual insurance isn’t more popular. It has an interesting model we’re you make a single payment at the start of the policy and claims are paid out from the proceeds of the investment income. You also get your princ

Letting the library keep a single copy is hardly funding distribution. Historically books were expensive so unless you were wealthy the only place you would have access to books is the library. Saying you think it’s ok to ban a book from

You said it is different than a government banning books but universities/colleges being publicly funded are effectively the government. I fail to see the difference. Libraries in general to the extent they are publicly funded should

Many if not most universities are publicly funded quasi governmental institutions.

The three main parts (Modem + Mixer + FPGA) cost on the order of ~$18 in medium volumes throw in other required components, PCB, and assembly and I'd guess their cost all in is just under $30 when made in quantities of 1,000+. Add in

No, It's $500 + $6,450 so $580 a month plus an unspecified employer contribution. Because it is a HDHP with an HSA though they are incentivized to keep their costs in check and anything they don't spend of the $6k gets rolled ove

If you lay all the relevant evidence at the cops feet they are going to be a lot more likely to carry though with the final step of arresting the person.

Investigate it yourself? Police don't have many powers available to them that aren't also available to the average citizen. Hire a private investigator if you don't want to put your own time in.

This isn't so much a story about the limits of law enforcement as it is about the reality that they don't expend much time investigating "small" crimes and their definition of small is surprisingly large to the average p

Seems like a tautology. By definition anyone the government pays money too for a product or service is under contract and thus a government contractor.

Anecdotally, I know someone who saw the Electric Hummer commercial during the Super Bowl earlier this year and it led him down a path that ended in him buying a Model Y a few weeks ago. Other players announcing vehicles that are years away
