The blame falls on the current US federal government shutdown caused by US President Donald Trump's refusal to sign any 2019 government budget bill that doesn't contain funding for a Mexico border wall he promised during his election campaign.
I don't read newspapers, I don't watch the news, I'm not American, etc. So this is the first time I hear the reason why the USA government shut down. And just as I thought, it's a stupid-ass reason on top of "government shut down" sounding like something a third-world country would do.
And this only reinforces my point of view that Trump is a grown-up spoiled brat that always do whatever the fuck he wants, screw everyone else.
If you can split packages into two categories: small and lightweight vs others, this drive-through idea could work.
The small and lightweight packages must be under 24x24x24 inches and weight 11.0231 pounds or less. An automated storage/retrieval system would allow someone to get their package under X seconds.
Let's leave 6 inches around each side of the storage cubes for whatever technological solution you pick (rails, conveyor belts, etc), that makes 36x36x36 cubes. Also assuming a storage system with no further space losses than those 6 inches around each cube, and an average warehouse of 16400 square feet with 25 feet ceilings, that means a storage facility would be able to store roughly 43728 packages. Let's round down to 40K packages to allow for less compact retrieval methods.
The bigger/heavier packages that don't fit/are too heavy for the automated system would use a human clerk to get your package, like a regular post office.
Assuming the average post office is 16400 square feet, converting a quarter of their space for this automated delivery system via drive-through, they would be able to store/deliver 10K packages automatically.
So you have never had a package delivered to your house while you were at work? You have always worked where it was okay to have personal orders delivered to your office/desk? You have always been home at the delivery time of your packages?
There's a lot of possibilities where a delivery box is needed.
And so will movie rips: VideoCD, DVD, Blu-ray... 4K, 8K, etc. As for me, Netflix in standard definition is good enough for my tiny 27" display. If I really like a movie I'll buy the DVD/Blu-Ray.
If you work in a datacenter I'm guessing this is good news everyone!, but my own storage needs have (somehow, for completely unrelated reasons *cough*) gone down since the advent of streaming services such as Netflix.
Sure, games are getting bigger but I'm not a teenager anymore, so I buy maybe a dozen games per year at the most. Last year I only bought seven and that number is inflated because I bought a cheap bundle of five games on Steam.
Prices which will very soon look like a bad joke compared to the competition, which is going to come from car companies which have a depth of engineering talent that Tesla cannot hope to match.
And who do we have to thank for that, other than Elon Musk?
Because the last time the established car companies made electric cars, it did not end well.

AMD = threadrippers
Intel = threadrippedout
The first time I heard about this, I tought it was a completely idiotic way to manage money that can only insure ALL the fucking money will be spent.
Seriously, who came up with that "solution" to managing funds in a company? This sounds like something first-graders would come up with.
A lot of people are allergic to dairy, you insensitive clod!

It's relevant for entry-level laptops. There's no discrete graphic cards in those.
I also think that anything inside-the-freakin-house is a stupid idea, but an external locking box is a pretty good idea.
You laugh, but with a big-ass QR code at the top of each box it would probably be easier than their current no-cashiers stores.

How big is your CNC if you need to put it in your garage?
Nobody cares about what happened 8 days ago.
And how does it look when you compare AMD integrated graphics with Intel integrated graphics?
Too bad Apple is married to Intel, I would have loved to see a 15 watts Ryzen inside the 2018 MacBook Air.
I need a lot less today than one or two decades ago.

If you don't like AAC, you can always use the decades-old MP3 format.
Formula 1 drivers always make race-ist comments.
Tesla: Why are you blocking the entrance?
Redneck: Go home, fag!
Tesla: OK, I'm gay. But why?
Redneck: Fuck you!
Tesla: (drops his pants)

I know a guy with two firearm. His name is Johnny Storm.
Of course they do. Resistance is futile.
Not for a student, it's not. We're also talking about a nearly 3:1 price difference. I don't call that negligible either.
If not, they could try to shoot depleted uranium slugs at it via a giant railgun.
