    A Stingray is $55k which I don't think Tesla can match for the nextgen Roadster but a Z06 is over $80k

    An Audi RS7 is ~4500 lbs - why so heavy when it doesn't have a battery pack at all?
    I'd imagine that such a heavy ICE would also have "handling issues"

    "Once they release that model 3 for under 30,000"
    That's going to take a while. They'll be fortunate to get it released at the promised $35k - although they were promising $30k some years ago and then quietly upped it.
    There are more than a few Tesla-bashers who complain extensive auto experience that have been saying that selling the base model at even $45k would be barely profitable, if at all.

    And also imprisoned on false charges.

    Elon Musk is clearly easily bored.

    Starts cool things, but moves on to something else on a whim. Are investment analysts going to consider this a risk for his current main companies?

    That's quite the overstatement. He's been helming SpaceX and Tesla for nearly 15 years. He does seem to have a restless intellect but that doesn't make him flighty

    why wouldn't you cite Ljungqvist's 2010 30-proxy reconstruction, which was more widely supported? Ljungqvist's chart [lwhancock.com] Is it because it shows both the Medieval Warm Period as well as the Roman warm period were just as warm or warmer than today?

    Perhaps because he's already read the rebuttalls? And that Ljungqvist himself doesn't agree with how his results are being interpreted?
    But try not to let that upset you because the Medieval Warm Period poses a thorny conundrum for den....er "skeptics"

    Ice extent is the easiest variable to measure but can be misleading as there's no difference in a patch that 15% covered or 100% covered.
    Ice area and volume are also very important but more difficult to determine but Arctic sea ice volume has declined dramatically in the satellite record and is 30%-50% lower than 2006-2007

    They're far, far off their initial promises, which points to manufacturing issues.

  16. Seems like encryption systems need to have two passwords; one that decrypts the volume and another that wipes the keys and images a fresh filesystem. When they compel you to enter your password, you enter the "destroy code."

    Sure, you could be charged with tampering with evidence if they realized what you'd done. But maybe that would be preferable to indefinite incarceration for contempt of court.

    I doubt that would work in this case as I'm sure LEO images the media and tries to decrypt the images.

    I told you so.

    While it still (at the moment) seems unconstitutional to force a person to reveal their passwords, it is simple to get around this by ordering the person to enter the password themselves.

    So if you think you're going to evade the long arm of the government by memorizing all your passwords, think again or you too will be jailed.

    And remember kiddies, "I forgot" or "I don't remember" only works if you are part of the government itself ;)

  18. In my personal experience, passwords that are > 24 characters, are easily forgettable if unused for a period of time. I struggle with remembering complicated passwords if I haven't used them in over a month. Not sure if it's because they're to complicated or if it's a neurological limit. I also suffer from ADD and have a history of radiation exposure.

    That being said, I completely understand how it's possible for someone to forget a password.

  19. Just because the guy is accused of having a child porn collection doesn't mean the niceties of law shouldn't apply

    Does the law distinguish between having, distributing or making these images? I consider those very different crimes.
    Also, since they know he visited the sites and downloaded *somethings*, they can nail him just for that crime and waive or suspend the contempt charge if he agrees to forfeit possession of the hard drives.
