For legacy ICE car companies, there is an additional headwind with which they must battle: their dealer network is far less incentivized to sell electric vehicles due to the lower long-term revenues based on service and maintenance. Dealers

To add to this, there is even more going on behind the scenes in the Tesla Supercharging scenario that makes it so incredible effective. A lot of it has to do with charger use optimization. As sales of Teslas outpace growth of the Superchar

The pardoning scenario is interesting. He may well be pardoned for federal crimes by Pence or Biden, but Presidential pardons do not extend to state crimes. It’s possible that the NY State AG might have some issues to resolve once he is out

Thank you. My wife worked for the Special Olympics for several years, and we were privileged to meet so many wonderful athletes in the program. I doubt a single one would think this usage of the r-word was appropriate.

I just noticed this capability in the release notes for 2020.24.6.9. Personally, I’m not too comfortable with this. I might, however, be willing to exchange free Internet or Supercharging in exchange for turning the camera on. I genuinely w

This is a very good and important point. In a good year, if we can convince 40% of the eligible population to get a flu shot, imagine the challenge to get the >= 60% coverage needed to confer herd immunity. Just having a good, safe vacci

I just checked and my URL list looks something like: “corpdomain.com,microsoft.com,microsoftonline.com,office.com,corpdomain.sharepoint.com,corpdomain.local,windows.net” If I find an SSO-enabled site that doesn’t work, I add it to the list.

Yes, in Mandarin, the number 5 is wǔ (五), and the number 10 is shí (十). The number 50 is written as 五十 (I tend to read it as 5*10, or “five-tens” as you put it). I think it makes some simple math concepts easier to understand.

China is looking to expand. China already took Tibet. It claims Taiwan. Now, it’s making audacious claims over the South China Sea - even going so far as to build artificial islands to cement their claims.
