Even if it's true that she broke the law with regards to the ambush, how does that lead to being stopped and questioned every time you enter the country?

I use "bookmark all tabs" quite a bit. If I've got 15 tabs open for research that I want to read later...

by stevep98 10y ago
I tried shift-clicking a range of tabs on a whim about a year ago, and it worked. Once you've done that, you can drag the whole selection into another window or a new window too.

Recovering the engines allows for inspection and modifying the design to compensate for any problems. Competitors just dump their flight-tested hardware in the ocean, when it is truly a goldmine of test data. SpaceX is able to do all this t

I trust Musk 1000 times more than Trump. It doesn't make sense to give up the chance to influence the policies of this outrageous man.

Yes. It means that people who do those things often get their account suspended. If an Automated Uber arrives in an unsatisfactory condition, you could just reject it and send it back for maintenance/cleaning, and a new one will be on

Most Tesla's on the road don't have rear facing radar. I don't think the rear facing camera is used for anything other than parking. So, that leaves ultrasound, which has limited range. I would think in theory they could use

I had horrible heacahes from ~16-19 years old... I never made the connection until a professor in college mentioned 'caffeine withdrawal headache', and it totally clicked. And I switched to decaf for the next 15 years. Totally par

Not sure why not, ... my iPhone can be an access point.

I find the wifi connectivity between Sony camera and my iPhone quite painful, mostly down to the fact that it creates its own wifi access point that my iPhone must switch to. Why can't it just connect to my home access point (so it can

I always thought this could be useful in a sort of advanced karaoke, where your nasty voice is processed to sound like the original singer.

I think multi-level parking structures might be repurposed as delivery-drone distribution centers. Most of them have a roof, for the drones, and the lower floors for storage and trucks.

These natural events are rare enough that, to me, they don't create a sense of urgency that we need to get off the planet in the next decade. This is the big question to me... when is the right time to go? If we wait 50 years, wouldn&#

My understanding is that there is some concern that as a civilization reaches a certain amount of technological capability, they run a higher risk of wiping themselves out. We've only had nuclear weapons for a few decades. Who knows wh

As you know, the fuller your battery gets, the less current it draws. If your neighbor was already at the end of their charge cycle, then they will be drawing relatively little, and you'll get the full current.

Wells Fargo policy sets quotas for bankers to open new accounts for customers.

by stevep98 10y ago
This is true. A good friend of mine works at Wells Fargo, and has moved up the ranks from banker up to regional manager. I never understood the pressure he was under to open new accounts. Not new customers, just new accounts for existing cu

My model S has been in the shop after a collision since a June 10. The repair shop has been waiting for parts. The last thing we're waiting for is some kind of spring related to the airbag assemblY. Originally tesla said they would pul

But the stalls work in pairs. They all can't deliver 80kw simultaneously. Ever wondered why sometimes you only get 100A? Because your neighbor, who got their first, gets first dibs on the power, and you get the leftovers.

Ha, you're right. Commodore BASIC, probably? (written by Microsoft, I think.) I do remember at some point having access to a language with less restrictions on variable naming, and thinking, "wow, that's so amazing"

I was recently implementing a geometry algorithm which I looked up on quora. It was described using typical vector notation, using r,s . t,u. Since I referenced the algorithm in the comments, I decided to use these same variable names in

I find Siri useful for certain things. 'Set a timer for 20 minutes' is faster for me than using the clock app. 'Navigate to the nearest gas station' is faster. Setting reminders is usually faster with Siri. Especially ge
