Man, everything we do and experience in the world has to do with EM waves. Pick up your coffee cup; that was an interaction mediated by waves and photons.
So you'd have to compress the air to around 2000 bar to match the energy density of an EV battery, which I don't think any tank can withstand reliably. There are compressed air cars out there that work with 300 bar storage. This seems to be feasible for very small highly efficient vehicles.
Only significant possibility of death is if one accidentally eats a mushroom that isn't a psilocybe and is instead a poisonous look-alike. Problem will go away once it's legal and distribution is reliable, like cannabis is in some states.
Yet again we have these useless base salary comparisons that aren't indexed to cost of living. Many in the tech industry see significant portions of income coming from bonuses and equity. Consider the bay area; $150k total comp is more like entry level software engineer these days, and AI/ML folks can pull in $300k+ from the get go.
This is more on the fast casual side, like Chipotle. Does it really matter if a human or a robot wraps the burrito? This isn't some Michelin star restaurant here. I'll gladly take the robots if it means better food quality, fewer mistakes, healthier options, etc. for the equivalent or lower price.
This is simply not true, base salary is still the main % of total compensation (maybe 70% of total comp). Amazon's median wage is so low because they hire a lot of low wage workers, i.e. for warehouses. In any case, the SEC statement is based on total compensation, not base pay.
No, it's $28k, not a typo; you can dig into Amazon's proxy statement to confirm this. Amazon hires a lot of low wage workers (i.e. warehouse), which pushes avg. salary down.
The concept of a TV station is so dated, screw that. I want shows, not stations, and streaming services like Netflix let me do just that. Also I want ad-free shows, and no ads in the show either; utterly obnoxious. Once again the pirated option is superior.
The whole point of this article is BT audio on a portable. For this purpose, it is totally unnecessary to have 24/96 or even lossless audio. Show me real data with controlled experiments that proves people can differentiate 24/96 from 16/44, let alone tell which one is better, and I'll believe you. There's plenty of studies that show otherwise. I suppose if it makes you feel good on a psychological level, then that's something... it's pretty easy to trick the human senses.
They're pretty much there; look on Amazon and you'll find plenty of true wireless headphones with case chargers (like AirPods) for $50, probably comparable to $20 wired headphones. Sure, AirPods have better BT protocol, but things will overall improve with BT 5.0 and whatever is after that.
Have you tried Apple's AirPod implementation? Put it in your ears and they're ready to go. Take them out and they shut off. BT transmission quality is excellent (W1 chip). After you're done, put them back in their case - 15 minutes of charging gives you another 3 hours of playback.
In time, there will be many more solutions like this, and costs will go down. BT headphones have already significantly improved in the last year, and there's no reason not to think they'll get even better and cheaper.
Fortunately there are lots of people who are just 100% okay with BT headphones. These are the same people who can't tell (or can tell/don't care) the difference between CD quality and 128 kbps MP3. People who truly enjoy the music, regardless of whether it's coming from a high end sound system, or some cheap $10 earbuds.
I used to be on the side of audiophiles - must have lossless media, expensive speakers/headphones/amplifiers, fancy cables, etc. Then I realized that it's all utterly ridiculous, and doesn't actually increase my enjoyment of the music. Being able to enjoy music with lower quality reproduction reduces the misery of not having the best audio quality, and in the end, improves enjoyment of music in general.
Instead of trying true and tested methods, Tesla pushes the boundaries of what is acceptable; let the gull-wing doors hint at what to expect. Sorry Elon, you're no Steve Jobs when it comes to user interface (or whoever your UI hero may be).
I really wish manufacturers would take UI seriously, and this goes across all industries. If your new and fancy method makes me take 2x as long to do the task with 2X the error vs. the old method, then your method sucks. Microsoft is particularly bad about this too; how many friggin clicks do I have to do perform to do simple tasks in Win 10 (compared to XP)?
Don't forget that magnetic latching power cable, I'm so glad Apple decided to get rid of this... my reflexes have greatly improved in trying to catch my laptop.
MAC address (unique to every network interface), not SSID. MAC address is contained in the IP packet, and is not private information. If you/your router has communicated with any server, that server can record its MAC address, and assign it with a geographic location your phone has already transmitted prior, or use an estimate location (i.e. whatismyipaddress.com).

And 3 years from now, it's still going to be the same machine, with the same $5000 price tag.

Compostable or disposal bowls/forks, no dishes to clean.

*median salary, not avg salary.

You don't need a lot of scripts that web pages load. Facebook connect, google ads, etc. Allow the scripts that are needed, block the ones that aren't.
Ad block + script block, instant 2-3X web page loading increase. It's all the useless content and invasive ads they put that slows everything down.
And supposedly because of the improved security, this can result in lower fees to the merchant for those who use Apple Pay.
There is a "Files" app now, which indicates that there is more of a filesystem there. Still not really that functional.
AMD has terrible margins though; Intel and Nvidia are at 60% while AMD is in the 30%s. Not good for investors.

That's an ancient Intel CPU, better comparison is with the i7-7Y75.
Forget OLED, ILED is the future. Much lower power consumption, real blacks. If they could only manufacture it well.
