  1. Re:All good until... on Over Half of Norway Car Sales Are Now Electric (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Not a Model 3, but my Bolt was getting 130 miles per charge. That's with the heat set to 76F while also running the seat and steering wheel heaters, on 5F days. Definitely not the 240 miles I get in the summer, but still adequate.

    Speaking of fireworks, where I live we set them off at 12:10am. We're probably one of the first to do so on July 4th.

  3. The only upside of Walker "saving the PFD" (I wanna punch the PR person who coined that) is that everyone felt the pain. Alaska needs to balance its budget, and not by raiding the PFD or an income tax.

    I avoid Sony also, what you'll want is the EarStudio ES100. The sound is impressive with a good set of earbuds. Amazon has it for about $100.

    This.

  6. I'm certain there'll be some sort of hat, photo, or trinket from the Blue Origins gift shop at the end of the ride to cover that need.

    Soo many people use the speakerphone feature to hold a conversation (annoyingly so), that the terrible sound quality of bone conduction won't matter. Could be why the manufacturers don't see it as a problem.

  8. Judgement is the very thing that these control mechanisms are lacking. It lacks the knowledge of what's going on in the immediate environment and a quarter mile down the road.

    You forgot to add for now...

    I agree, I think cars interconnected by WiFi (or something similar) will come close to solving that issue.

  9. You're talking about basic control mechanisms. We're very, very good at automated control today. How does "judgement and skill for manual gear-changing" fit into such a world? Do you *actually* have better skill than electronics with millisecond reaction times?

    Why yes, a skilled driver is actually better. Judgement is the very thing that these control mechanisms are lacking. It lacks the knowledge of what's going on in the immediate environment and a quarter mile down the road. A skilled driver has taken in and processed all of that information before selecting a different gear. The car on the other hand, it's trying to determine the proper gear the moment you change the throttle input without any of the info the driver has. This is one of the reasons people will complain about 9 or 10 speed auto transmissions "hunting" for the correct gear, despite millisecond response times.

    I disagree, you can to some extent. Robo Recall being a great example of what's possible.

    I use quite a few HDMI ports. There's the BD player, Xbox, Chromecast, Fire TV, RPi, speakers, and PC for the Oculus.
