Completely reasonable comment downvoted by the Elon Musk fan brigade. C'mon folks.

Do you think the name "Boom" could become a liability if there are any accidents along the way?

This is the right answer. It's frustrating that folks can't see it.

The $800 annual tax is worth people knowing about.

I get downvoted reliably for taking issue with Tesla and Musk, but here I largely agree with them. People need to consider such incidents in the context of the overall danger of driving. That said, Tesla needs to maintain its PR in order to

Thanks for the reply. It's a shame you're the only person who saw what I wrote before the yes-man crew came along and downvoted me.

I know I'm cruisin' for a bruisin' here karma-wise, but I just don't understand what they are trying to do with their company mission. From my perspective, Dropbox actually facilitates an old, broken way of creating and

This is spot on. I would get rid of it as the only thing I really use it for is social logins, but there's the other issue of wanting access to the Facebook Developer stuff. I guess I could just make an account only for that?

To me the ugly piece of this is that companies like Zynga really operate in the realm of addiction. So, Facebook is operating as a sort of addictive drug on steroids.

I don't actually think the data sharing piece is the most important concern highlighted in recent days. To me, it's Facebook's pernicious effect on those who become addicted to the service and can't stop generating and c

Can someone explain to me how this works? Who are the miners? Where is the competition to mine blocks? How is the system distributed such that one entity can't back-propagate fabricated blocks into the chain?

Hyperloop is a really, really dumb idea. It's funny you bring it up like it's a positive.

I was scared no one would mention Elon Musk. I actually came to this thread, did cmd-f and typed Musk just to check.

I got a used Nissan Leaf for $8000 and installed the Level 2 charging station that the seller threw in for free myself. Couldn't be happier. Also, that extra $30000-$100000k in my bank account (depending on the Tesla I didn't buy)

This is a really good comment and I thoroughly agree.

This is emblematic of who Tesla's customer is until (if/when) the Model 3 gets really going. Almost no one can pay $100k to have a car "without a drivetrain hump" and that doesn't burn gas. Sure, those are nice thin

Couldn't you fit in more if you didn't assume all planets orbit in the same plane?

Thanks for the responses! I'm always confused by which products people prefer to purchase à la carte and which they prefer to buy in bundles.

Wait I think you're missing a word there...

Congratulations to them. I don't really understand why anyone would use dropbox given the multitude of different offerings out there. I'm curious if anyone who uses them can give me a take on why I should use them. I currently use

You guys can downvote me all you want, but until dogecoin isn't worth a billion dollars, y'all know I'm right.

Be careful. Your comment probably triggered the hivemind.

This is definitely good for society.

I can't imagine a Mars base being useful in any meaningful way (aside from _maybe_ some sort of esoteric scientific utility) without reducing the transit time between the planets to at most a few days.

Because if you travel in interstellar space for long enough, you are almost certain to experience problematic levels of DNA damage and get cancer.

If there was a way to collect on it, I'd bet good money there won't be space pirates in the next hundred years. Without some sort of fundamental (and I do mean fundamental) advance in propulsion technology, the notion of humans be

In my opinion, Tesla is a fantastic luxury car brand and will continue to be so (assuming they can continue to get funding for their plans). That said, I don't think they will be able to compete in the midrange and economy segments. Th
