I suppose Telsa could supply the electricity and get paid for it as a way to pay for the super chargers.
There definitely is some handshaking involved, the car authenticates to Tesla before the electricity flows. You can't merely build an adapter, you have to get Tesla to give you an authentication code for your non-Telsa vehicle and I'm sure they would be willing to do that for the right price (plus cost of electricity)..
Just because a General who heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend doesn't mean it happened.
Smells like fake news, repeated across multiple media sites that then makes people think it actually happened.
They have been used to shoot down 10' drones but those don't cost $200 and tend to be flying up quite a bit higher. So 10' drone becomes drone becomes $200 drone and the story evolves into being false.
Not everyone wants a phone to access the Internet. The $50 phones can be far more reliable, robust and have batteries that you can charge once a week instead of daily.
They are also lighter and you don't cry when they fall on the floor and your amortized cost just jumped by another $150 because you cracked your screen.
Bots creating GoFundMe pages have replaced bums, no need to stand on the street holding a tin cup when you can create a bot to create an online story of distress and have it beg money for you.
Another role of bums has been to stand in line at ticket venues to buy tickets for scalpers. That has been digitized and now online bots are wildly successful at scarfing up large numbers of the best seats for scalpers.
So far we haven't had a bot able to make a plasma donation, but give science some time.
There are some great media outlets putting out well researched and written articles daily.
Then there are the media outlets targeting people who are only interested in some red meat half-truths being tossed out so they can rant and rave.
While you might not see it as such, I see the current "media dishonesty" schtick to be nothing more than the shark attack media frenzy you complained about.
"Given what's going on"... implies something about current flooding, not flooding 20 years ago.
The massive inflows of water into Lake Oroville in late 1996, coupled with massive rain all over the region lead to widespread flooding. I'm not sure how much of that flooding was just from releases from Lake Oroville and I'm not sure how someone can conclude that if the dam wasn't there the water flow would have been any less.
That a dam offers flood control doesn't mean it is able to prevent all flooding and it doesn't mean that if a flood occurs it is due to a failure of the dam to provide flood control.
But I'm open to data that shows that if the dam hadn't been in place that flooding would have been less severe.
They are not "storing more water than it was designed to safely hold". It can safely hold 100% of capacity and if they spillway hadn't been shut down due to damage the lake level would be below 100%.
But I do like seeing people using words like "hoard" instead of "store". Sounds ominous or bad, something evil people would do. Dam water hoarders. Terrible, simply terrible.
The Sierra Club sued because they felt the dam didn't meet safety regulations. The dam has ALWAY been primarily a water storage dam. That water storage dams also serve to control flooding is an added bonus.
Huh? I live in the suburbs and grocery stores are more easily accessible here than they are in the inner cities. As are parks, drug stores, banks, and pretty much everything else. Hey, if you enjoy living the concrete jungle lifestyle, good for you. But not everyone wants to live where you get to hear your neighbors flush the toilet.
People who live in concrete jungles head out of town on the weekends while people in suburbia just fire up the grill and go swimming in their backyard pool.
Don't get me wrong, I live both lifestyles, apt in a crowded city where I work 6 months out of the year and then back to my home in the suburbs for a relaxing 6 months of vacation. I won't be retiring to the concrete jungle.

Comparing raising minimum wages ($10/hr) to a tech worker complaining when he makes $80/hr is a bit of a stretch.
His rent isn't high because the burger flipper at McDonald's and his barista is getting paid $10/hr instead of $8/hr.

Highly recommended for White House staffers leaking info to the press.
Just say no

By re-marking the outer case.
Not that there are likely any actively used Note 7's in the wild.
Actually a good plan to save an otherwise really nice phone. I'd buy one if the price was right.
The media is "always appalling"? I disagree.

An emergency spillway test is a destructive test. And a failed test could mean a 30' wall of water heading downstream.
Both good reasons to engineer a solution and not give it a real life test.
California has spent several billion dollars on the hyperloop?
I don't think so

Maybe it has less to do with oddness and more to do with downhillness.
Without the Romans we couldn't have watched Super Bowl LI
Oh gosh, how on earth can it be raining in one place and not in another. Unheard of.
"Worse flooding"
Where? Point me at the flooding downstream of the dam.
That's going to open up a lot of jobs picking lettuce and mopping floors. Can I send you an application?

I'd check again, interest rates for home loans are a lot lower than they were 17 years ago.

Perhaps you limited your definition of "middle class" to the United States.
The middle class is growing world-wide.
