  1. That's not quick? on How Does Tesla Build a Supercharger Charging Site? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It took 11 days to install the six charging stalls in Goodland, Kansas. If you thought it was a quick process to build a Supercharger station, you were clearly wrong.

    seems quick to me

  3. Re:Drivers already have variable ethics on Selectable Ethics For Robotic Cars and the Possibility of a Robot Car Bomb · · Score: 4, Informative

    I'm not really sure why they call it 'ethics of the car' not ethics of the owner or programmer, or administrator of the car.

    If you put a bomb in a robot car and had tell it to drive to a statium, the car didn't fail to make an ethical choice. I doubt the car would even be aware of the bomb, or what a bomb is, or why its bad.

    Let's see how 'rational' everyone acts if this type of outbreak occurred in suburban united states. I'm sure it would be picture of order and rational behavior

    Each fraud count carries a maximum sentence of 20 years."

    I wish that you saw more minimum sentences, the maximum sentence seems like something created for sensationalism media because saying "roughly 3 months of actual jail, 9 of house arrest and 2 years of probation" sounds too soft for most crimes, but more accurate than what is implied by the "20 year MAXIMUM!" which sounds appropriately punitive

  9. Re: Now it's unfair.... on Apple's Diversity Numbers: 70% Male, 55% White · · Score: 1

    No its still called racism, it's just less common giving it a different title and saying its less bad is not true.

    all racism is equally unacceptable, the actions taken by the racist individuals or groups may be more or less extreme in some situations. but its no more or less bad based purely on which group is being prejudice to which other group. The whole goal of equality was to apply the same rules to everyone

    everyone doesn't.

    It's just the new acceptable racism. It's the same as the old kinds of racism, socially accepted at the time.

    I guess we just wait for history to decide if they're right or we're right.

    perhaps a formation of air craft with receivers could be used in the same capacity as a large single structure...

    how would that work?

    Hey look this model of distributed computing that i only got into for personal profits, is pretty clever why don't i do it for free instead.

    the problem is the type of people that get heavy into bitcoin mining aren't the kinda that want to give back they're the kind that want to suck every bit of value from something and leave a withered husk for everyone else.
