True, and that never happens with cars with gasoline in the tanks. (/sarcasm)

Also demographics. All Tesla cars (at least the ones with autopilot) are less than 5 years old, and typically driven by a subset of the national demographic due to their price. But they are comparing crash rates of ALL cars, including 30 ye

Docker (at least on my mac) now comes with kubernetes built in, so you can just click a button and instantly have a kubernetes cluster running. As for an app deployment tool I've had good success with Helm. It allows you to define all

I road trip regularly with my Tesla Model S. You would be surprised at where there are charging solutions. Any RV park can charge you up over night. If you use superchargers, it's hardly slower than a gas car. A 600 mile day that would

You do have to keep in mind the further losses in converting it back to low voltage AC using very large and expensive inverters / transformers.

It's important to note that the first stage (which is about 70% of the rocket) is the part that is being reused. The top of the rocket (the second stage, the fairings, and the payload) are not reused (At least not yet. They are working

Most git servers have an option to only allow commits to go through if the ssh key that is pushing the commit matches the SSH key associated with the account of the "Author" field. Easier to implement than enforcing PGP signing.

The problem is that Uber doesn't care. I've had a driver say they picked me up, and I can see them driving away on the app while I'm standing on the sidewalk. I cancelled the trip and Uber still charged me for a partial trip

Which to be fair, Bezos will die long before he runs out of money, even pouring several billion a year into Blue Origin.

> Enjoy the view etc, and then the second stage relights to cancel your velocity to 0 That is not feasible. Your second stage would have to be roughly as large as an entire orbital rocket in order to slow itself down from orbital speeds

Literally the first thing I did was remove the Siri button from the touch bar.

True, no ethical engineer would write "DestroyBaghdad", but how about perfectly reasonable "set custom threshold for test" function that lets the client pick? And then the client chooses an unethical value.

No, the screen is the screen. The lower part of the laptop (where everything but the screen lives) has a case made of two pieces of aluminum. The topcase, which is the top half of the aluminum body, and has the keyboard mounted very deep in

And if the retailer really doesn't like it, they can just not sell to customers in the state. But we know that's not going to happen. Like you said, the customer is the one paying the taxes, and the customer is the one who votes t

Um, you realize that the battery modules for the Model 3 are produced in the Gigafactory. So problems there would definitely impact vehicle production. Also, time that Elon and other employees spend on this guy take time away from more impo

I mean, that seems like a pretty open and shut case for insurance... What is the purpose of needing the additional data from Tesla?

SCUBA tanks have a "burst-disk" or a weaker part of the tank that is designed to fail first, rather than the whole thing exploding and launching shrapnel. It's still violent and can throw some shrapnel, but it's much les

I don't disagree with your points, other than my definition of "constantly" must be different than yours.

Same. My other annoyance about every single one of these threads are people making comments about how unsafe it is when you can tell they've never even driven a car equipped with it.

Autopilot is not an implementation of self-driving cars... You have a completely wrong understanding of this system. It's basically cruise control that has some lane keeping abilities. If you put your (non-TACC) car in cruise control o

That's because he is wrong. The radar is active at all speeds. In my experience, the radar basically only identifies cars and car shaped objects.

You are misunderstanding the wholesale price that the utility companies pays with the price they ultimately charge the consumer. For the consumers, the electricity was not free nor negative. They were charged their regular rate. But yes, ne
