I think there has been a lot of value in FE as a technological driver and from a PR perspective. VW/Audi/Porsche committed to it pretty early on, even after repeating forever that they weren't interested in Formula 1 (which o

I get that Formula E isn't a spec series, but it is weird that so much of it is homologated spec parts. Given that the racing isn't that great (maybe entertaining, clumsy, or wacky would be descriptors of FE), imo it'd really

There is a huge class of people that aren't capable (either they're too junior or lack the ability or motivation) of writing core functionality themselves, and are only able to stitch libraries together. Is the stuff they create p

How many people did you need to wrangle to get this to happen? I saw a Comcast truck driving down my street a few months ago. I chased him down and asked if they were putting in broadband, and he said "No, I'm just checking the li

I live 5 minutes from a grocery store, 10 minutes from a town of 50k people. Hardly remote by US standards. There is no cell coverage, and the only internet option plugs into a phone jack. From where I'm sitting, that spending didn

I briefly worked at one such company. The vibe was from some sort of alternate reality, it was truly bizarre. I couldn't deal with it and quit after about a month.

I don't generally root for things to fail, but this one was so obviously user hostile in terms of UX and manufactured exclusivity that I'm really glad it's over.

I have a 74. My wife used it to go camping and I guess I didn't explain the starting procedure well enough because it was second nature. She ended up having to get a jump after flooding it and killing the battery. Oops.

And a lot of practices encoded into faith just grew out of reality. Like not eating pork because at the time, you'd get nasty things like trichinosis. But there's a lot of bullshit, too.

I've opted out of Verizon's spam texts, which I would get 3-5 times per day. But I didn't get the text offering me the ability to opt out of this shit, because I opted out of their texts. Cool.
