Well, shit. Looks like LynwoodRooster is going to have to come up with a whole new series of anti-Tesla rants to copy & paste into Slashdot Tesla stories.
They had keyboard and mouse support for a few Dreamcast FPS. I had it but almost never used it, it was completely pointless. Who wants to sit in front of their TV with a mouse and keyboard?
I guess people if use their console at a desk it sort of make sense, but even a shitty laptop can play Fortnite (from what I understand).
The iPace gets good reviews and I'll have a look when the local dealer gets one, but it's a much smaller car than the X for just $10k less.
Personally I want to buy an new electric luxury SUV, I like how electrics drive and not going to gas stations is a bonus. iPace is interesting (although for most people an X would be more appealing), but the EV cars coming out from BMW, Mercedes, and Audi are compact SUVs that fall quite a bit short of the X.
I guess you also have to consider how much your time is worth to you. If you make a very basic loaf it will take about 10 minutes of your time to prep it, cook it, clean up afterwards. Even if you are somebody like creimer or 10101101010, 10 minutes of your time is worth maybe $5.
Which doesn't even consider the cost of energy.
I suspect people are just buying more ready-made food at the supermarket. Cooking for yourself doesn't make economic sense - it's more like a hobby.
The actual range (by US standards) is "up to 200 miles." While I think range is over-emphasized with electric cars, that is in fact worse than the X.
It seems to be an electricized version of the GLC, which is a tiny SUV (well, I couldn't fit in one) selling for $40K. The EQC is going to cost twice as much as the GLC, in which case what's the point? Electric cars drive better and cost less to run/maintain, but doubling the cost is too much. It's also within striking range of the price of a Model X, which is a larger and better car.
It's not coming out for two more years, by which time Tesla (and surely a few other companies) will probably have compact SUVs that are better for cheaper.
In short, this car seems like a massive disappointment. Between the etron, the EQC, and the iX3, the German car companies are flopping electric cars and flopping them hard. They're all just over-priced re-workings of compact SUVs selling, to be sold for just $10K less than the clearly superior Tesla X.
Taking a bus is maybe $150/month cheaper than owning&operating a used low-end car. If you take the bus twice a day, 25 times per month, and each time you take it you waste half an hour compared to just driving...that's valuing your own time at $6/hour.
Of course that's a back-of-the-envelope calculation. But I imagine for anybody who gets paid more than minimum wage, ultimately it makes more sense to drive than take public transportation, unless the express bus is literally a direct shot to their work, and they don't need public transportation for things like going to the store/visiting friends/etc. Or if they live in a large city where subways are faster/comparable to cars.
Tesla makes a big thing about 5,000 model 3s/week, and it sounds like in the near term they're hoping to ramp up to 7000-8000/week. There's also the S and X selling 2,000/week.
That's a big chuck of the car market. Googling, the Toyota Corolla is tops at 18,000/week. It's a bigger deal because (I imagine) Tesla 3 success will disproportionately effect higher-margin luxury brands like Audi, BMW, etc.
Not saying Musk doesn't sound crazy. Just that dismissing Tesla as an upstart bit player is flat-out wrong.
Did you even read the summary? HE didn't just try to change his grades...he changed other peoples' grades for both better and worse.
Considering that High School grades are a huge predictor of being able to get into university and get scholarships for universities, this is sacred fucking shit you don't mess with. I agree it sucks to give a kid a felony, but this was a felony level offense.
This sort of VR is barely any better than Google Cardboard (which is awesome)....super cool technology without decent software. What I'm waiting for is better VR content and an ecosysytem that makes it really easy to browse/share/deal with 360 degree photos and videos.
I myself don't like gambling, but what you're saying is disingenuous. Nobody thinks of it as a "business opportunity" or a good way to make money. It's just a fun but ultimately harmless risky behavior for 99% of people. You're *not* guaranteed to lose money - I mean, of course you would be if you went every day for a year, but if you go for a weekend you make money 45% of the time and lose money 55% of the time.]
Google Glass is still being sold, for pretty much these purposes. Did you really need to write like an essay about something so elementary?
But I will disagree. I don't know if I would want a weird prototype version, but if this technology became sufficiently developed, I'd love a pair of sunglasses which project a huge monitor or TV in front of me.
The exhaust from modern cars doesn't really pollute, it just exhales carbon dioxide (unless they're diesel). You can't commit CO suicide with modern cars.
And I've never seen an electric taxi or Uber, although Priuses are very common.
They've never stopped selling that kind of computer...there's hp's stream 11, for instance. $200, including a year of Microsoft Office. They're located in the far corner of the store. Totally usable.
But that would be a completely different product. If you want a stereo system that hooks up with wires to existing av devices, there are already thousands of devices that would suit your needs better. Why hook up your home audio system to a single-speaker system? Wouldn't you want at least two speakers?
Personally, I think a lot of bookshelf systems starting as low as $200 have pretty good sound. While I wouldn't *want* to use my Edifier bookshelf system as my main stereo at home, it's perfectly serviceable and for 90% of people would be totally fine.
HomePod is a small stand-alone system that sounds great within its limitations. It's something for a bedroom or office. Since most people just listen to streaming, all you really need is the ability to connect to streaming music services and maybe Bluetooth.
There are many supermarkets and Mexican markets in Richmond. Fresh food is available with effort. But there's also definitely a lot of residents who do not have any convenient way to get to a store with fresh food.
Short version: a bunch of weird rationalizations why some people should have votes that count more than other votes.
For state issues, everybody in the state should have a vote of equal weight. For federal issues, everybody in the country should have a vote of equal weight. Making Wyoming votes count 3.6 times what a vote in California gets is bullshit derived from historical accidents. There's no good reason for it and the status quo should change.
Slashdot Mirror
"Australian Intelligence"? Isn't that an oxymoron?
Dude, everything Japanese sucks.
Is Slashdot still interesting, or does it just post stories that are blatant, pointless shit-storms?
Well, shit. Looks like LynwoodRooster is going to have to come up with a whole new series of anti-Tesla rants to copy & paste into Slashdot Tesla stories.
Would you rather have a leading advocate who gets no attention from the press?

No way would I ever own a device that contained a microphone and could connect to the internet! Everybody who disagrees with me is a sheeple.

Disingenuous. Gold has some minor industrial uses, but obviously that's not what drives the price.

Food deserts are located in lower-class residential neighborhoods of poor cities (and I link to Richmond, a 20 minute drive from SF without traffic). You can go miles without a store aside from corner stores, which have little/no fresh produce. Residents may not have a car, may have kids, and often work difficult jobs that keep them from having free time to make regular long trips to grocery store across town. Maybe you've taken a lot of vacations to some wonderful cities, but areas with food deserts are not the sort of places anybody goes to unless they live there.
