Playing Devil's advocate for a moment, we already have ports to separate out different services. Even back in the 90s it was common for ftp.domain.com to offer up a web page if you connected on port 80.
To be honest I don't really understand why they are doing this either. I get that URLs are confusing for most people and often misleading too, but all of that has little to do with the WWW part.
That assumes that schools are commodities with no difference between them. I know little of this institution but I'm guessing that being in that area with a lot of tech companies is probably a big draw for people looking to get jobs at said companies.
Most people don't care about wage disparity very much. They care that they can't afford to raise a family on a single income any more, that healthcare can bankrupt them and that half of them are one pay cheque away from homelessness.
If people could afford a fully documented, accredited electrician I'm sure they would prefer that over one whose work might cause them all sorts of legal/code troubles.
Like American made goods people will pay more for quality, but only if they can afford it. Low wage growth is the problem, not immigration.
It's interesting that Panasonic has stuck with cylindrical cells for Tesla cars. I read that LG is using flat cells like you find in a phone for their automotive batteries, which seems to have resulted in a lower cost and more efficient cooling system.
I'm waiting for a teardown to confirm. Would love to see a BYD pack too.
While you are right that the summary is crap, there is a real story here. Musk is kinda bad at the PR side of being a CEO. Should probably have rejected the blunt outright, but that's nothing compared to accusing someone of being a paedophile on Twitter, or making public promises that don't get delivered.
That last one is going to bite Tesla in court one day, when people are demanding refunds for features they paid for but never received.
Mass transit can compete with personal transport just fine.
Look at Japan. Train stations are major hubs. They often build a shopping centre on top of the station, and offices around it. Bus companies link up to get people further out. Any new development makes sure it has regular bus/real links and sells that as a benefit of living there - sail past the people stuck in their cars on congested roads with a rail track or purpose built bus lane.
The mistake other countries make is trying to graft on public transport later. Train companies in particular miss a trick by not using the land the station is built on for 10 floors of retail too.
Friends of the Earth said the tidal was the least bad option and backed it in the UK, so it's not environmental objections that are the issue. It's money and being risk averse.
Why take a risk on tidal when nuclear is backed by massive, infinite government subsidies? Especially when wind is getting so cheap so fast too.
I used to work in the water industry and the water companies were not interested in putting stuff in the pipes. Accessing the inside of the pipe is expensive, you need to dig a huge hole and shut off the flow of water, and there are strict regulations for putting stuff in drinking water and the pipes that carry it. It's also unnecessary these days.
To find leaks you just need to listen to the pipe at two different locations and correlate the sound of the leak. These days that can be done remotely with a sensor network (battery powered, 5 year life, my Magnum Opus). Very big leaks can require on site work with more sensitive equipment, as bigger leaks are actually quieter (less pressure).
We had students suggest stuff periodically, but the problem was always cost or it being invasive. Water is cheap and â20/month leaks aren't worth fixing unless people are complaining.
Well, yes, actually. The amount of storage required is dramatically reduced when you have very wide geographic distribution and a diverse range of renewable sources. Plus some, like solar thermal, have storage built in anyway.
No, it means government employees (civil servants, military, law enforcement etc) running the state, effectively removing control from the elected civilian government.
A key aspect is that they are working together, not individually.
If there is a bias against conservative views it's because they tend to involve blaming groups or promoting ideas that will hurt them.
The debate over gay marriage is a great example. A lot of the objections revolve around religious convictions, which is fine. Problem is that it very quickly strays into calling gay people perverts or describing it as a lifestyle choice, both things that do real harm to gay people.
The opposing view that it's fine has a lot further to go before it devolves into hating religious people and making their lives difficult, both because it's not based on homophobia and because the religious people being debated are rarely marginalized.

Do you think Trump understands that Americans pay the tariffs? I honestly think that he thinks China pays.
Margins are already razor thin in China, so they aren't going to lower their prices.

Are SEC investigations something a trader can start? I thought they were independent and decided to investigate Musk on their own.
I wish you hadn't said that Rei, because now everything you say about Tesla and their cars has a financial motive.

They probably spammed Google with tech support ads and links from error code farms.

Hang on. Riding 5 miles is any 30 minutes at a moderate pace. So it takes the train 2.5 hours to cover the remainder of that 17 miles?
Sounds like it goes in the opposite direction and loops back or something.
Mass transit is un-American. You are supposed to own your own car, be free and self sufficient. Relying on others to get around is a failure.
Sure by presumably they aren't expecting people to live off sugar alone.
Offshore wind is a lot more stable, one of the main advantages of it in fact.

Also, last I heard it was up to £54 billion.
Assuming say 10% efficiency how much energy and CO2/water would it take to provide a human adult's daily recommended sugar intake, I wonder.

This seems to vary a lot by country. The UK has low wages too, but Ireland pays a decent amount. Lots of EU immigrant workers in Ireland too.
This should give wind a major boost in the UK. Hopefully the first of many.

Some things are too dangerous so get banned. WMD, for example. And in most places guns too.

Why on earth would you need a day of storage? And isn't France linked directly to the grids of neighboring countries?
