I've gotten all of my prime orders in 3 or 4 days recently instead of 2. They've all been health or personal product related orders. This is perfectly acceptable given the circumstances. In my opinion, Amazon is doing an incredibl

Why? That's how the test kit works. It develops colored stripes that you QUALITATIVELY interpret. There is interpretation in the meaning of the saturation of the strip color.

Hard to argue with your subjective opinion, but I would guess that objectively there is more "going on" in Las Vegas at any given time than there is in most major cities. It just happens to be very concentrated into a small part o

Maybe you're not reading his quotes carefully enough. The wing failed at 146% of max design load which was BELOW the required failure limit of 150% which caused Airbus to add more structure to strengthen the wing. https://ww

Building very tight house with good insulation is the key. Then of course you need an ERV to keep the air good and a separate dehumidifier is also great.

Well, they didn't include any of Tesla's long range models and i-pace owners have been saying (on forums) that their real world range is much less than the official number.

Uh no, there is at least a six month supply of i-paces at US dealers now because nobody is buying them. The i-pace is actually quite nice, but terrible efficiency and no charger network makes it a tough sell.

No, this makes complete sense. Tesla is opening up a huge new market, but it is under-capitalized. Also, Apple could give Tesla the design boost is desperately needs in the long term (those interiors barf...). Those darn Tesla speculators w

It's been reduced and it goes from nowhere to nowhere. Seriously, Merced to Bakersfield? Isn't the majority of soul crushing traffic happening inside the LA and Bay Area regions?

Because your mind heavily affects the environment in which your cells live through hormonal and other system regulation (epigenetics). A mind that is constantly stressed (for example) causes your body to be in a different hormonal state tha

You know, it's like how once you put a boat into water once, it's unsafe for humans...

Yeah, it must be really hard on you that world changing, incredible technologies have unknowns and sometimes take longer than expected to deliver. You should let us all know how to do it right.

His point is that Google's and everyone else's hiring process is subject to large amounts of randomness and capriciousness. Google themselves have at various times mentioned how their hiring scores don't strongly correlate to

Many people have many ideas, very few people have novel ideas, so novel ideas are worth being proud of because they are very few and far between. (I have no idea if this particular idea is novel -- odds are against it though.)

You should try living in Sinaloa, Sonora, Tamaulipas, etc.. The places you listed are all the safe states, which effectively is a different country. It's not super complex, the states near the Gulf/Yucatan are generally the safe o

You're only labeling it "populism" (which is normally defined as 'support for the concerns of ordinary people') because you don't like the outcome. If you liked the outcome you would call it "democratic.&q

It's interesting that even your comment is getting down voted. I wonder if it's a millennial thing? It would be interesting to know the ages of the people here commenting on how "harsh" the post seems vs. "yeah that

But still what? How many gas engines and transmissions in comparable luxury cars will last 8+ years without significant cost? The Tesla warranty is 8 years but the batteries will last significantly longer they will just have less than 80%

Wow, what an illuminating study. If you build roads and the population continues to grow and/or pent up demand is release, those roads will eventually/immediately clog up. Obviously people use roads until the equilibrium of pain i

I checked it out at the MS store and it's fine. It doesn't have the aesthetic design perfection of a macbook and the hinge is awkward, but if you want a windows machine it seems like a good option. I won't buy any MS devices

No it is not a good idea. The whole "we're protecting you" argument is a line of garbage intended to sway meatheads into thinking that being denied access to ownership and prosperity is a good thing. That these these opportun

Thanks, I wasn't aware of the spot pricing (never scrolled that far down the very long pricing page :) I'm not sure that I understand the economics of the spot option from Amazon's POV since it seems that a person who needed

Just curious how he got $0.11/hr for a "spot" instance of g2.2xlarge? Amazon's "on demand" pricing of that config w/ Windows on their website is $0.767/hr.
