The full gas station concept makes sense even with free charging . Gas stations don't clear much on gas sales, most profit comes from ancillary sales of other products and services.
Private many stations charge for the electricity. I could see gas stations replacing a pump station with a super charger (in spots on the peripheries of his implemented and planned build out, and affluent - could probably have a nice gas station with a small upscale grocery - change the entire experience of the gas station).
As for Tesla/Elon Musk, it's incredible what he has done so far in his life. He is destroying boundaries and making markets.
I would give feedback, I'd rather comment as that is a very insightful comment.
Take your thought and expand it over decades. The memory process doesn't complete without sufficient sleep. What else doesn't? What else degrades? Are the effects of less sleep cumulative (it is with memories, having the body of forgotten memories increasing, I wonder if memory degradation is also occurring at a higher rate)? Is less sleep a factor in dementia, does it contribute to Alzheimer's disease?
For the record I get about six hours of sleep every night. I love to nap, but only get time for it on the weekends (best dreams ever!).
A private camera's owner is allowed to share any footage they have recorded.
The request may be unsettling (it would be for me), ask about it first if you want. Then decide, unless there's a warrant.
Unless it is you they are after or if the footage requested puts one in a compromising position. What you do at that point is your decision (LWYR UP, per Saul Goodman).
All politicians and bureaucrats also have to speak an oath to uphold the ultimate law of the land. For reference the United State's Supreme Court Oath of Office is below.
For citizens, "ignorance of the law is no excuse". Tax law, I'm looking at you... But we are talking about the Supreme Law of the Land, The Constitution of the United States of America. Those in power that breach this law or redefine it are the problem. But they get away with it, over and over again (I think of Won't Be Fooled Again by The Who, all of the bosses are the same).
Why is this happening? I figure they have their fingers crossed behind their back when they take the Oath.
And I have a particular problem with the Supreme Court, I'm looking at you Commerce Clause... I'm surprised the States aren't all fenced so that deer and other animals don't cross borders, hunting and tourism revenues and all.
And of course local police shouldn't be abusing The Constitution.
The Supreme Court's Oath of Office: "I, _________, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God."
Jesus (I believe the man existed, but not that he was a deity), do we have to complicate the Earth date system more???
Systems already break because it's complicated enough, and I have to set the times on microwave ovens and regular ovens often enough. We understand 12 months of varying lengths with a base 24 day cycle, isn't that enough. 221788790 seconds from the winter solstice???
A minimonth??? Seriously.
Time and dates are already defined for the inhabitants of the planet. And it works. Don't mess with it.

My first "corporate" job was at a life insurance company, on an IT team that was dedicated to and sat with the Finance department (actuaries and accountants, I was in school and sitting for exams still).
I realized a few years ago that this was a great situation. The financial folks had a team of senior IT staff (I was the first IT intern, but I had two actuarial exams under my belt by my sophomore year and could code) who could undertake special projects, manage code, and keep the spreadsheets under some sort of control.
App Context is Important to Saving Functionality

I appreciate Office applications saving pretty often.
But Crtl-S and Crtl-Alt-S (Save all Files) in Visual Studio are bread and butter to me.
I recently UXed a metadata explorer for the iSeries mainframe (Winform app), and it initially autosaved every change the user made (after validation of course). All three initial testers either asked how to save or if the data was being saved.
We updated the application, putting a Save button (that turns red when a data value is changed) on the main form (and a menu option - File->Save, and Ctrl-S support - three ways to save) and the issues went away (we add various "Save your work" steps to the UX script).
Some apps are expected to save incrementals (via user experience if nothing else), others are not. UX, I believe, is the key to determining where auto-save is appropriate. I specifically learned that auto-save and database analysis software don't go together...
Interesting use of the phrase "crapping the bed". Obviously "crapping the bed" isn't a phrase one should use often, that would only serve to dilute its effectiveness.
Very similar to "dropping the ball", except picking the ball back up is far easier than washing one's self and the bed sheets...
Question regarding that data retention law. You specifically state that the police are prohibited from retaining data for more than two days or building up a database of an individual's locations.
Are private companies also prohibited as such? And if not, are the police prohibited from working with such private companies?
Security flaws weren't what made Windows the prime target for attacks. It was market share. So it makes sense that Android is being targeted, it has the market share (phones and tablets).
Therefore, this should come as no surprise.
All software has security flaws (bypassing software you have hardware vectors as well).
Most any app could be malicious based upon the OS features it requests access to.
Apples iOS ecosystem seems pretty secure, a big part of that is app review/rejection.
We are quite satisfied with Shun knives, an 8" chef's and a 4" paring knife. Other than a bread knife those two do everything we need.
They have drawn blood from everyone who has used them, they are so sharp that it is surprising at first. I sharpen them about once every 6 months, and about every year they need a light honing to clear up any edge abberations/dents.
And I got them on a great sale (about $75 for the big one, under $50 for the smaller one, about 75% off).
I wish my parents had told me this before I caused permanent tinnitus during my later teenage years going to concerts and playing in a band (back when I thought it was cool that my ear were ringing three days after the Iron Maiden concert...).
I protect my ears now, but I will never experience silence again, just the ringing.
The private prison industry would suffer, not sure how big of a lobby they are (or if they would be effective because --->). Governments at all levels would benefit from lower incarceration costs (so win/win/win). And there's revenue from taxes (win x 4). The only downside I see is that people would just continue using marijuana as they did when it was illegal, and no more threat of legal problems. That's not a downside of course, in fact it is another win, this one for personal liberties (win x 5, this one for the people).
I had the pleasure of visiting and purchasing legal weed in Colorado, we actually went with the mayor of the town who hadn't been there before. Having the mayor with us got us VIP treatment, we skipped the line entirely (they didn't look happy...). Then we went back to his office and... sampled things. It was fantastic.
I read the original article, the vehicle had a Mercedes frame, engine and tranny. And a former Mercedes designer made it. Pretty easy to badge as they did.
Keep in mind that Fiero kit cars were still Fieros, much to their owner's chagrin.... I encountered one, slowest Ferrari I've even seen (and it suffered from crappy body alignment, nothing says kit car like that and/or horrible performance).
As for the vehicle, the MPG rating (dividing fuel range in miles by gas tank gallons comes to 16.1 MPG) isn't very good which is surprising given the HP/torque numbers (177hp, 244lb-ft).
If Mercedes made it then it is a Mercedes. In fact, classic car one-offs (demo models, proof of concept, etc.) are highly sought after and can sell for millions of dollars (Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, AZ is a good one, I've been to that one, it was awesome - didn't do any shopping, and it was only a couple of miles from where I lived).
It certainly isn't a production model, and who would want that ugly trailer, 'tis an abomination.

Very dangerously, the key is not to fall out of the car while still maintaining control.

Obviously I agree...
My first "corporate" job was at a life insurance company, on an IT team that was dedicated to and sat with the Finance department (actuaries and accountants, I was in school and sitting for exams still).
I realized a few years ago that this was a great situation. The financial folks had a team of senior IT staff (I was the first IT intern, but I had two actuarial exams under my belt by my sophomore year and could code) who could undertake special projects, manage code, and keep the spreadsheets under some sort of control.
There are no corporate secrets below, but I stumbled upon this formula in an actuarial spreadsheet (I'm a developer with an actuarial education).
The only way this logic could be verified is by breaking the single formula into 20+ different cells with more simple calculations.
And of course it is in several thousand cells, bringing any computer at all to its knees during calculation.
A good example of how not to use Excel (but the actuaries don't have access to IT prototyping or core development).

This is happening across rural America as well. The kids don't want to stay and can't find jobs either. To the cities they flow.
