Teslas can use j1772 with their included free adapter. j1772 is the main standard that every ev supports. the "problem" is that tesla's own private plug is way better than the standard, and can pass more power. other cars can't use tesla's plug. so we have kind of an apple (and tesla) vs the world standard here.
You can opt out of the tesla location services. Tesla offers a free charging service. It has limitations. These are clearly specified. The goal seems to be to encourage use of superchargers by travelers, not for local people. That seems reasonable to me.
This is 100% absolutely false. Did you even bother to look before posting it?
Correct, there are many commerical stations. go to chargepoint.com and look around you. If you are in a reasonably sized city you will see chargers, if you are on the east or west coast, you'll see 100s in a 50 mile area. If you are in a small town like I grew up in in the south, far away from a city, you might only see some regular outlets to plug in to. Pro tip - almost every RV park has charging - two choices -- tt30 (120v 30 amps, its a thing, people) and 40 amp 220v also.
First, I'm going to bet that they err on the side of not placing drivers on the commercial list.
Why would you believe that? In fact, if their supercharger networks starts to get overused, they would have every reason to err on the side of placing as many drivers as possible ON the commercial list.
They've been going in this direction for a while. They send nag emails to people that use their chargers too much, for what they think is obviously local charging. Their behavior seems reasonable based on history.
It's similar to what you say. You don't have to setup other infrastructure if you are commercial, what you have to do is pay for your charge yourself if you are commercial. That feels reasonable.
so why don't they clarify their original message. for some reason they decided not to clarify. that means they are (1) stupid, or (2) not wanting to reveal something. Pro tip, it's number 2. They are hiding shitty behavior.
We didn't block people from countries where there are lots of terrorists, like saudia arabia, that are business partners with our country, and trump. That's a big reason why people saw the muslim ban as a mistake.
I have never heard of the plunkett reviews. The 3 prequel star wars movies were terrible. The acting was wooden, the dialogue was ridiculous, the fantastic sense of wonder and adventure that were in the 'original 3' star wars movies was gone. It was like they were created by a factory without any sense of emotinal connection to humans. I blame it on Lucas somehow believing he was the greatest director or story teller or something. Other evidence of his losing his grasp was the stupid and damaging changes he made to star wars. Han shooting first changing was one thing, the stupid negative flourishes he added made the movie worse.
His artistic trajectory reminds me so much of Larry Niven. I loved his early known space series, but he became later some kind of truth telling fascist who thought the world was going all wrong, he lost all nuance and connection to individuals.
... This announcement is a bit out of the blue, and it sounds like a turd.
It's very likely this was something they had ready to go out to show the "benefit" of repealing network neutrality at the FCC. I'm sure we'll soon see some astroturf groups saying how this will be awesome and get us to the world of tomorrow.
The problem with the left narrative is that it is far easier to explain difference through any lens but effort.
People on the left understand that effort is a major part of being successful. But there's a lot more to it. You think Jared Kushner would have been successful if he didn't come from his background? How about our idiot national leader? My T would not have gone far in life with his ridiculous views and attitude if he didn't start our half way between third and home plate. That's what you are missing, coming from wealth and a well educated place really helps you.
[the jews whines about enslaevement]... On the other hand, there is a thriving black middle class that liberals don't want to acknowledge. Like Asians, it interferes with the narrative.
Where did that stuff about jews feeling a little bit too persecuted and liberals being unhappy about someone succeeding come from? I'm a liberal, and I'm happy for anyone in the world being successful. I am filled with even more happiness about poor people or minorities overcoming their challenges.
You are way off if you think liberals don't know about that. The problem liberals see, that you don't see, is that it's very very very hard to make that transition in a life. The benefits you get from being from well educated parents, and living in a place where all your parent's friends went to college, and where there is less crime is a major help in life. Liberals see that we should try to help make a more even playing field. One thing we can all do is treat people as individuals, so not classify them in that group of whining jews. Also, help address the reasons we know are holding back human potential, like helping people from disadvantaged backgrounds to get into and pay for college.
>> "I'll start out buy not being forced to spend $6,000 a year on insurance that I don't need and don't want."
Sure, maybe you are the 1 in 300 million people who will never get sick, you'll never have an accident. But when you do get sick or old, or can't pay your bill because you had a car wreck 6 months ago and can't work, well then the rest of us will pay your bill. Because the hospital won't charge those who can't pay. You'd probably prefer someone die if they can't pay their bill. You might be that special person who never needs to go to the doctor, and you'll die without needing any medical care. Congradulations!
It saves money for us overall if there aren't millions of people who don't have health insurance. There are some other things that work like this, such as vaccines. Similarly, we pay taxes for firemen, even though, damnit, my house is never going to burn down.
> the majority of Americans rejects both "the left" and progressivism. For that matter, so does much of Europe.
This isn't true, unless you are using weird definitions. Republicans have control of the house of reps by gerrymandering. Dems get more votes overall. Dems are the party that leans toward the left. Are you just arguing that the dems aren't really progressive or are you making a different argument? In Europe it's even clearer that they embrace what americans usually term the left, although there are some alt right parties. Or are you again defining terms to mean the govts of germany, france, etc are not liberal? By american standards, they are crazy liberal, not including folks like le penn.
Similarly, it's becoming increasingly difficult for the republicans to win the presidency because they are a shrinking party of older white people, less educated, those who haven't committed suicide yet with oxy. They seem to be shrinking nationally about 1% a year (4% smaller white vote than 4 years ago). When Texas flips, it will be over for them. Remember New Mexico used to be a solid Republican state, until hispanics increased in number, and the same thing will happen in Texas in about 10 years (demographic trends make this pretty clear).
>> "Companies failing to educate their users not to do dangerous things is not working"
Can't we just avoid all those "don't do dangerous things" by using ChromeOS? (especially for office staff) Hear me out before you call me wrong. Macos is better than windows, but you have to install virus checker, keep updating endless office security fixes, and security fixes for tons of other apps, and lots of people never do them unless they are automatically done.
ChromeOS hasn't had any attacks, other than the ones google has paid for at hacking contests. It's an os made by human kind, but so far it's been great. That's a huge advantage. OS updates come automatically (just reboot). It has built in support for the office format. It's the standard web browser. I use it to read and write office docs and send them back to others. It appears to work well enough that millions of people are using it.
Again, no attacks. No anti-virus to install. No painful OS upgrades - it just happens.
It's not for everyone, especially devs - you can't run visual studio. Devs might need something else. But it works for office, web, simple image editing. And this is before the world of android apps come there.
Except the President believes he has the right to, at his sole discretion, decide a given individual is bad, and can lawfully order that person to be apprehended, then removed from the US, and held without charges, a trial or any notice to anyone that it has occurred, indefinitely.
Has Obama or even Bush kidnapped someone from the US and done this? What they have done is bad enough, snatch people off the street outside the us and do this.
What were the lies they told about gamer gate, can you link to specifics? I thought gamer gate did themselves in by threatening to rape women reporters who commented on them, and other stupid stuff. If you disagree with someone, state why you disagree with ideas with specifics - don't threaten them or attack them.
The difference is you can find someone in the US. They might try to charge them with bogus charges, but the us doesn't kill people in the night. That's a pretty big difference.
EE grads should be more than basically capable with hardware of course! But in regular programming jobs, CS people are at least as good. Dev jobs are full of EE people that have to slum it as programmers because there aren't enough great jobs for EE.
Not all of them. I've been doing computer security with a security clearance in government IT for nearly two years. The prime contract is fully funded for the next three years. We're still hiring more American citizens with 10 to 20 years of IT experience to meet the increasing workload. I'm making 40% less than a private sector job, but paid federal holidays, 20 Paid Time Off (PTO) days, and a full benefit package makes up for the difference.
That's a pretty decent set of benefits, but most software engineering jobs start with full medical insurance and 3 weeks vacation, plus a few holidays (xmas, new years, memorial day, july 4, labor day). The one thing some full time federal jobs come with is a pension - that's the one thing that really makes them appeal.
Good choice about not reading the editorials.
The other way to get a lot of basic education on the economy and economic concepts is to listen to the daily marketplace podcast. Contango! It's still affecting the price of oil.
We have to deal with a lot of problems that "ordinary" people do not. For instance, we can't just hop in the car and go on a trip, without first doing a web search for Tesla charging stations. For some destinations, there are no chargers enroute, and we have to take the spouse's BMW instead.
ha ha, you don't have a Tesla! If you did, you could use the onboard navigation system to find a route that includes going through enough chargers to make your destination. I meant to be funny, but I guess I should make a serious point, they really do have a nav system that knows about superchargers. You can also check plugshare for many other public chargers.
I guess Tesla owners will soon be (are we already?), the new smug asshole bmw driver replacements. My wife would say yes:-)
I'm in Seattle. I have worked at Microsoft and Google, not yet amazon or facebook or salesforce or ebay or... 100 other companies. I get pinged multiple times a week, probably one a day. amazon has multiple recruiters who work in parallel. Microsoft wants me back, facebook wants me. And I'm 50 freaking years old, but I'm a very qualified dev. If you are a software engineer, come to seattle, you'll get tired of the software jobs.
I'm not some software god. And these interview offers are coming in because there are so many jobs in this city. I worked on distributed systems and a very large cloud system at google, and an important server product at microsoft. Good work experience that I guess shows up when those shyster recruiters search linked in. If you aren't getting attention and want to move to seattle, contact a dev and seattle and they will refer you.
On second thought, Seattle has enough people here already, so you should carefully consider before moving.:-) My mid size company with about 3000 people wants to hire about 500 more devs. There aren't any to hire. When someone gets to the point of getting an offer, they usually have offers from at least a couple other companies.
