It does everything you want (supports Chrome plugins, so you get ABP and videodownloadhelper), mouse gestures out of the box from the people who started that whole craze, tabbing, bookmarks toolbar (and speed dial!), and you configure it however you like. For instance, you can add a web panel to the panels that pop out in the edge for any page you like. I have gmail in there and pretty much never even open a gmail tab anymore. Tabs on the bottom? Sure. Tabs on the side? Why not? You want a menu bar? Enjoy. I like their style, and every version that comes out gives you MORE configuration options, not less.
A great browser, and what Opera 13+ should have been.
"ARES’ solution is related to an already common kind of energy storage known as pumped-storage hydropower, which pumps water uphill, then captures the power of its downhill flow as needed. "
Current US freight rail standards have maximum train weights of 286-315k short tons. Also the test track has a 2000' (600m) rise.
Now, I can easily imagine them using special beefy cars (no suspension as they'll never reach any kind of speed), extra heavy duty rails, etc. And parallel tracks/trains would also be easy to install.
As opposed to the cost of pumped hydro, this seems like it's cheaper, and easier to add more capacity as need develops.

Purely electric. The motor is directly coupled to the differential with gears... no torque converters or clutches... and is directly proportional to speed in forward or reverse. The selector sets the controller mode (except the park button, which does engage a physical parking pawl to lock the transmission).
I guess you could call it a "mode selector," but no one would know what you're talking about. Do note, of course, that all references to gears are gone (no "1" or "2" or "low" or whatnot).
Hmmm... bachelors in engineering. No experience in the automotive field, 2 months experience as a RA studying the environment. Then he started working for INNAS BV as an intern and got first authorship on this paper.
How about Peter A.J. Achten (second author)? Zero other publications listed, but his contact in ScienceDirect is the address of... INNAS BV.
Interesting, looks like they developed the Chiron (R) Free Piston Engine, a two stroke engine that is supposedly "not dirty."
Convenient of them to put their product, and the paper of the two people that published this... thing... right there on the same page next to each other so we can all see the real motivation of it.
Sadly, this paper will get batted around the internet and become more and more exaggerated by anyone with an anti-electric agenda like that idiot hit piece comparing a Prius to a Hummer. Yes, that thing is still quoted everywhere and always.
Address all complaints to vrjhtimmers@gmail.com... that guy's going to have to change email addresses shortly if this crap paper hits the fan like it probably will.

Perhaps you need to read what he said about 2025:
"By about 2025 they will be as cheap to buy as petrol cars and much, much cheaper to run."
I can buy that.
I just shuddered IRL.
Seriously. Skin. Crawl.

Indeed, my UID is almost an order of magnitude off from yours :).
You need Vivaldi.
It does everything you want (supports Chrome plugins, so you get ABP and videodownloadhelper), mouse gestures out of the box from the people who started that whole craze, tabbing, bookmarks toolbar (and speed dial!), and you configure it however you like.

A great browser, and what Opera 13+ should have been.
I only started using Firefox after Opera abandoned their browser with the 12.x series and started pushing another Chrome skin.
It was always pretty terrible in the time frame I was using it, and now I've re-abandoned it for Vivaldi, and haven't looked back.
Why wouldn't it have
A) Regular brakes sufficient to hold the potential energy until it's needed.
B) A big sand pit lane at the bottom in case of electrical+brake failure.
Otherwise, it's just being built in a scrubby desert away from populations. All you really need is a fence around the site.
They mention that in TFA.

"Angry Birds doesn't fit the liberal narrative"
I don't know if this was meant as a joke, but it's hilarious!
"its surprising to see something like this make #1 though? It certainly speaks to a very talented writers group."
Well, not TOO talented...

Posted summary is better than the article for clarity.
Well done.
Reading the comments on that video just gave me cancer.

The gear selector is a small stalk on the right side of the steering wheel. Nobody's going to be leaning on that.
Whoops, my picture is of an identical looking Mercedes one.

Second picture down, has the same markings, looks the same. Anyway.
It is.

But I guess you had mod points and that's why you were posting anonymously.
Everything about that is still ridiculous, BTW.
It's actually worse than that:

Sorry to reply to my own post, but as an addendum: at what point are an intern and an engineer "scientists?"
Well, let's just take a little look at who published this, eh?

My Insight has ~180k on it, factory brake pads are at ~40%.
Everything about what you just said is ridiculous.
Yes, I managed to drop the part of that sentence that makes it true: "immigrant, and was a"
Should read: "Her father is the son of an [immigrant, and was a] Scranton-born textile mogul, who later ran for Chicago alderman."
Oops.
In context: Hilary's parents:
Her mother is the daughter of a Chicago fireman, who became a homemaker.
Her father is the son of a Scranton-born textile mogul, who later ran for Chicago alderman.
