  1. Go the the removable battery gas station model. on Why Tesla Really Needs a Gigafactory · · Score: 1

    I know there is some criticism of the Tesla demo of the robot battery swap but the idea is sound. By taking the battery ownership and distributing it amount uses you create range, optimum care conditions, and on demand premium batteries for specific conditions. The cost of the battery can be distributed over the its life and depreciated by a business.

    No a pump and hold. Drive the stock own to allow send user to buy 51% and vote in new management. If the government won't regulate natural monopolies than why don't we just buy them out?

    But it is prima fascia absurd. If money is protected political speech and speech cannot be regulated than why can't I let Ben Franklin do the talking?

    We should be Comcast's management and investors. Instead of bitching cancel your cable contract and buy Comcast stock. It will drive the share price down increasing the rate at which we can buy the sock. At 51% we can kick the fucking board of asshole to the curb and stack upper management with consumer focused executives. At current prices it is $150 per household for about 1.5 years but that should rapidly shift as investors flee the possibility of coop vs. rape prices. Capitalism can be democratic.

  19. Re:Where the fuck is Microvision? on New Oculus Rift Prototype Features Head Tracking, Reduced Motion Blur, HD AMOLED · · Score: 1

    No. That is their only consumer product a one dimensional version of one aspect of their primary original goal. The founding idea was a image projected directly on the retina using a mems and a LED or a low energy laser (can't remember the light source.) There were tests with dedicated fiber between Japan and WSU with multiple SGI workstations that were supposedly lifelike. They have shipped product to Honda for techs to have complicated manuals projected in the FOV for service and mfg. Also some military stuff but the website never said shit about it.

    It is the best possible display. One pixel per optic nerve on the back of the retina, the retina is the projection surface.

  23. Re:So, time to scrap TSA/airport security checks on Object Lessons: Evan Booth's Post-Checkpoint Airport Weapons · · Score: 5, Interesting

    It is not naive the TSA is naive. If you want security you can have it by doing real security screening and not "security theater." Ask the Israelis about it some time. I flew out of Amsterdam the day after a scare, it was the first security screening I have ever had. Someone looked me dead in the eye and asked my why half of my passport was in Arabic. He looked at me, listened to me, and made a real judgment. It is all bullshit anyway post 9/11 everyone knows that even if the terrorists are able to kill 90% of the people of the plane they are still not going to be able to kill all the passengers plus the external target. By making the risk=damage*likelihood equation infinite they have closed that door for ever. Someone tries to hijack the plane I am on and I am reciting "we few, we happy few" and the then going to stomp those fuckers to death with evey other top level predator on the plane. I will feel bad if they cut the stewardess' throat but that is not going to stop me wrapping my coat around my forearm and pulling the handle out of my luggage and reminding him has he dies that I will bury him in pigskin with his feet pointing to Mecca.
