In the end charging has to be non-proprietary. I don't think this is the hill Tesla wants to die on.

Sure but all these makers would slow their efforts right down if Tesla were to go away. Now they're stuck between cannibalizing their ICE lineup or being entirely eaten by Tesla. If the predator leaves the scene they'll start twi

Watching Warren learning to buy tech stocks is like watching a 4 year old learning to ride a bike. I suspect the problem is that for tech stocks the future is much less certain than in most industries and the trick is to judge before hand

On my 2017 Prius oil changes are every 16000 km at the dealership.

But at the same time the area of the paper will get almost infinitesimally small so you'll end up with an undetectable paper filament that stretches across the universe.

OK so CR recommends that you continue to kill the planet with a C02 spouting dinosaur technology automobile rather than to put up with a few of Tesla's eminently fixable teething problems to get a wildly more performant car that uses n

Every three years change jobs and take six months off in between to go travelling. On the other hand it is stunning to be alive just on its own.

Considering that you can get a Prius C for about the same price (or a regular Prius for 50% more) this product is going to stay pretty niche.

The 60's were a decade in time when youth reigned supreme. This was due to a combination of lots of young people demographically combined with plenty of relatively high paying jobs combined with the pill. It's not too surprising t

Then the Googlers go to jail or they bomb Google's headquarters. Google is not a nation state and wouldn't last long in a fight. More seriously, check out Huawei to see how a huge company pissing off a large country is doing.

There are few topics that provide a better intellectual Rorschach test than the economy. Communism is the most appealing if only because it's the natural system of families and of hunter gatherers. Sadly, the 20th century emphatically

This kind of feels like it's touching on some of the same themes as the ABC conjecture.

There are myriad ways to pull this off but more than a few them require luck of some kind. A particular technology, a particular company even a particular manager. However a recent study shows that, in the US at least, 55% of all workers a

Interesting that in this article he doesn't mention turning off "third party cookies" in his browsers. It's the very first thing I do with any new browser and it's always "on" by default. Sure it's

If you have a smartphone then you also have a digital camera, like it or not.

Definitely you can survive longer in extreme heat if you a lot ice cubes at hand. Otherwise, furry blankets, piled high, are a better bet.

And another advantage of this approach is it allows you to lobotomize your "smart TV" so it can no longer track everything you say and do.

I would like to try a 75" 4k screen across the room so that my eyes can relax by focusing closer to infinity.

These days you also have to be careful about which kind of transmission a car has. The CVT's generally can't pull any where near as much load as the older geared transmissions.

Yes, just like exhaled breath is a waste product full of C02 and containing very little oxygen. If other people had to breath that they would become very sick or even die.

Didn't Descartes cover this with "I think therefore I am."? Everything else is varying degrees of speculation.

Musk is technically very clever (have you seen SpaceX rockets landing in tandem?)s o it's likely he has something that comes close to what he's saying. If so, I expect the real problem with this system will be safety. Sure you m

Yes I (re)built a system for a client's health related business with 500 users on GCP. We used load balancers, two types of servers, managed Postgres and Django. It's been working very steadily for just over a year now and is mu

Yes there are a few relatively simple things that can be done to vastly improve sound isolation in wood frame buildings. They do cost a little bit so many builders don't do them. For isolation between rooms the walls can be built with

While this comment is strictly true. Once self driving cars become common in cities, cities will start modifying roads to be more accessible to self-driving cars. This will result in "close to perfect" self driving cars in urban

This is an interesting call given the cost reduction curves of wind and solar over time. It's hard to see how nuclear has a chance unless it's some kind of 'backyard nuclear' like Westinghouse is promising but still it
