There's little doubt that electric cars will displace ICE cars in an S curve fashion. First because it's just a much better technology, second because it's cheaper and third because it's low carbon. The same is likely t

Hillary had 1.2m more votes in the election than Trump. That's not a small number. It indicates that the problem is more related to flaws in the election process than it is to Facebook having it's finger on the scale. This is t

This headline could use a little help from Shakespeare...something along the lines of "I have come here to bury Caesar, not to praise him." None of SpaceX, Tesla or Paypal have been cons.

It seems Google has now strayed far from the "don't be evil" path. First came the illegal agreement not to hire from other tech companies, then the "say nothing to no one" employment agreement all employees have to

Well you're right it's actually not thinner than my previous phone, they are both the same at 7.9mm . It did "feel" thinner in that it's easier to use one handed which I guess is due to the Pixel3 being close to ha

I've got one and I like it very much. The camera is great and that's why I got one. I like that it's thin and narrow and fast (at least compared to my nexus 5x). The wireless charger is convenient. I haven't experienc

In my experience the real barrier to regular users adopting Linux has been Microsoft Office. The UI is not a big impediment but when it comes to "How do I send and receive word/excell documents?" That's where the wheels

And Amazon is not alone. Other potential candidates to add to list include AMD, Apple and Qualcomm. Maybe a few others that don't come to mind right away.

The super rich don't really care much about the cost of the house they live in. They just pay what they have to pay to get the house they want. Overall this cost represents a small percentage of their net worth. That's why they

Sure but 9% is still a lot of people and the browser is now on the rebound after a few missteps by Chrome. https://www.theverge.com/2018/4/15/17239548/firefox-chrome-s...

I'm not really convinced of this argument. A complex process like building a car will always have a bottle neck. If I recall correctly, with the model 3, the first bottle neck was battery pack production, then it moved to assembly an

It would be just like a Vulcan mind meld and when it's done the interviewer would say, "Yeah, you're good."

In fact the problems China has created have little or nothing to do with China 2025 and everything to do with Mr. Xi becoming China's "President for life" a while ago. The trade with emerging Asian countries has historically

When you look at the trajectory that this object took through the solar system, coming within .14 AU of earth, you really have to wonder; what are the chances that it was a random flyby?

Ok I've read through all the posts as of (about) the time of this post. I've had a lot of non-professional experience with personal back pain and with fixing the back pain of others. This is what I've found but your mileage
