so this makes me think this article is oil company FUD.
The last gasp by the oil companies IMO We here in Australia, are grappling with the problem of what to do with all the excess solar power https://www.abc.net.au/news/20... as so many people have put solar panels on their roofs that it is becoming a problem when they are at work and not using this energy. Simple - use it to charge up cars. The batteries, whilst still expensive, are getting cheaper, will fill this gap. In the new electricity grid, all homes will have a battery and probably solar. These batteries will all be charged up during the day and the energy drawn on at night. It will take time to get there.
As a guy who DESIGNS hardware, I can confidently say this....
...However, adding a chip like this (a two-terminal part as shown in the article) to an existing product not designed for it seems very problematic......
Whoever is funding this takeover had better have deep pockets as the Tesla car company has been burning some serious dollars https://techcrunch.com/2018/05... each year just to keep going. It could just be the case where Elon knows it is about to suddenly start making a profit real soon.
Dunno about you, but my corporate gym doesn't have a sauna. Nor do the public schools, the storefront gyms or other facilities the proles commonly use. Are you sure these findings aren't just looking at wealthy white guys somewhat interested in health vs. the great unwashed cheetoh-eating masses?
I imagine that people who frequently use a sauna probably also utilise other forms of formal exercise, eat a healthier diet than the working class masses.
I'm sure there is an opportunity for someone to come up with a refrigerative cooler plinth that you can sit the laptop on that will be able to supply cool air for optimum performance. Combined with a suitable battery pack, you will be able to have optimum performance on the road too.

so how exactly are there "veterans" of the workplace there?
are people that lazy to find another job?
If you haven't been given an education or your IQ prevents you from getting an adequate education then these people are usually stuck with this sort of work.
This is performance based workplace at it finest, where the company is managed by numbers on spreadsheets. The workers are just numbers (expenses really) and the focus is on getting the most productivity out of these expenses. Managers are rewarded on the performance they can extract leading to this sort of treatment.
They get paid the same, it is just that men prefer to work longer hours, take on riskier jobs and probably take less breaks/ spend less time chatting than women..
I wonder if they are applying discounts for their own repair work. Tesla cars are notoriously expensive to repair and not all accidents are your own fault and not all other drivers are insured or will own up to a parking lot incident. This is what $30k of damage looks like. http://gas2.org/2015/01/06/thi...
This is unlikely to happen a second time. Come the next election, the US public and media will have their troll detectors on full sensitivity. Particularly where nasty Kremlin types are involved.
The biggest battery in the Tesla vehicles is 90kW/h, with 200 watts of solar panels on the roof of a vehicle left out in the sun all day might generate 1kW/h, or about 1%. Not enough to make a big difference. If electric cars were lighter and used less power it may make more difference.
3,000kms in 30 hours = 100km/h. Sustained speeds of 100km/h powered purely by solar energy is fast, really fast and a big improvement from the race beginning. 67 km/h (42 mph) was the average speed on the first race in 1987. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... Apart from Northern Territory, the maximum speed limit is 110km/h on major highways in Australia with most roads being 100km/h.
This race is driving big improvements in electric vehicle technology, just what we need if we are going to exit fossil fuels any time soon.
When the performance of these things starts to drop off and they all need to be replaced, are people going to get sticker shock when they not only have to pay more to replace them but have to pay to dispose of the old ones because of "toxic" materials?
Nothing is more toxic than the waste from a Nuclear power station which stays toxic for hundreds of thousands of years. Coal fired power stations need constant maintenance of their turbines, generators and the equipment that digs the coal from the ground and transports it to the power station. Coal gets more expensive, Nuclear material (both the initial purchase of, and the disposal of) gets more expensive.
Once you have the renewable infrastructure installed, the cost of the energy ( Solar, wind and water) is the same cost it always was - free!
I delivered pizza in college. 2 large Everything pizza's and 4 litres of Diet Coke. Who orders that? Yep, every time.
Notice the same too It is no the calorie free sweetener that is making the people fat, it allows them to get stuck into more unhealthy food than they would otherwise.
I watch the people who pull out the packet of artificial sweeteners to add to their cup of tea/coffee, then when the deserts come around, they have multiple helpings. Then wonder why they put on weight
Wishful thinking, I would like to see a self driving car launch a boat at a boat ramp, tow a trailer, self driving tip truck, crane or any other special purpose vehicle. electric vehicles will happen, so will self driving cars, I can't see a sudden cutoff date.
I think it's a great thing that people who typically vote for more corporate freedom finally get to see the price of unrestrained corporatism.
Let market forces run their course. Like any monopoly that overcharges for their product, someone will develop an open source tractor that can be put together out of generic parts that some enterprising group have developed and controlled by an Arduino / Raspberry Pi or similar.
Why am I not surprised, this is performance based management at its finest. Set unrealistic KPI's to ensure only the fittest and strongest (or the biggest BSers survive).
Your crop is ready to harvest and your tractor won't start, not because there is any technical problem with the tractor but a software time bomb that you must then pay the dealer many hundreds of dollars to re-enable the software so you can use your tractor. This is blackmail in my books.

Looks like it has 3 connections to me..
https://www.bloomberg.com/news...
The ford Model A was a bargain basement model. Tesla are hardly aiming at that market segment..
The model 3 is probably the cheapest electric car with any decent range on the market, I would suggest that they are already in that market.
Nissan Leaf and the Mitsubishi MiEV don't even compare.
Wouldn't leaving it off truly use as little energy as possible?
Why not add a battery and keep it running all the time? Solar panels are cheap, so are batteries these days.
The global warming properties of natural methane are much higher than the properties of carbon dioxide after it is burnt.

I am sure there will be a few FB employees who will enjoy looking through the new FB p0rn collection.
Why can't FB issue a utility to the users to process their own images and generate a hash for the images they don't want shown?
A "secure" router won't help you. What does "hacked twice recently" actually mean?
Quite possibly this person means like the vulnerability in this router:
