Here are a few possible reasons why we have so few electric cars in the country currently:
- We had this company called 'Better Place' that was building an electric car infrastructure, gas cars converted to electric, battery swapping stations, charging stations, etc. It ended up going out of business, which I guess left a bad taste in people's mouths.
- A lot of tax money comes from gas and car sales, so the government is not incentivized to encourage EVs. Plus, cars are expensive already, without incentives you'd have to be really rich to be able to afford something like a Telsa Model S.
- Most people live in apartments and park in the street, so they don't get the advantage of charging overnight, and would have to wait the half hour it would take to charge an EV a reasonable amount at a charging station.
- I guess for a company like Tesla, who does business with our neighbors, it might be more trouble than it's worth getting bad press in the Arab world for doing business with us.
As someone who lives in Israel I can confirm, car ownership is more of an upper middle class family thing.
A monthly pass for public transportation in the local metropolitan area costs about $80, half that if you're a student or senior citizen. And you'd probably get on the bus you need within 15 minutes if you're in a city.
They're going to be in a pretty low orbit, lower than the ISS, they'd passively deorbit with a couple of years even if their propulsion system failed to do so actively.
The story is old news and Tesla made a statement they haven't received any subpoenas from the DOJ.
The story was conveniently (for some) released as the stock was hitting +8% in a bear market, and it promptly dropped to around 0% for the day. After about 20 minutes the market realized the story was bullshit and the stock continued to rise 5% by closing time, but the doubt has been sowed and momentum slowed.
I work with 3D, 2D, Video. At any one time I might have Photoshop, a couple instances of Maya, Mudbox, After Effects open.
I have a 6 year old computer at home, it still works great, but I'm starting to bump into its 32GB RAM limit. At work I have 64GB, and RAM is not a problem.
If I were buying a computer today I'd get 64GB with the intention of getting another 64GB somewhere down the lifecycle. We might at some point reach the limit of how many pixels and polygons we need want in a scene, but we're not there yet.
We already have a generic name for a thing that orbits another thing and it's 'satellite'.
We've had the terms 'moon' and 'sun' and 'stars' and 'planets' long before we understood orbital mechanics, and it's useful to have distinct names for things we refer to often.
But would 'moonmoon' actually convey any useful information, would it make understanding what another person is saying clearer? Sounds to me like an attempt to add unnecessary complexity that won't be useful for actual professional discussion and would be irrelevant for the lay person beyond serving as a piece of amusing trivia.

So basically the same browser, only the telemetry is sent to Microsoft and Bing is the default search engine?
Oh boy, where do I sign up?
Much more than a few months ago, more like five years ago, they're actually launching the first batch of them next month.
Not sure where you're hanging out, but I've yet to see a person jonesing for a dose of weakened measles virus.
Actually he did.

Next bullshit point?
Which is completely beside the point he was making about the GOP claiming to be party of small government.
Ah-bullshit.

So they want to both charge a monthly fee for 'cloud services' and lock us down with proprietary hardware?
No, less than 1% clicked a button.
Ping request could not find host God. Please check the name and try again.
I sometimes see them parked in the bike lane as well where I live.
Suffice to say they quickly and mysteriously relocate to nearby bushes or ditch.
Hope all those coders who lost their jobs because no one is incentivized to write software anymore get rehired.
This guy actually did a proof of the concept, though with a relative's truck.

So they're saying they'll have CMYK usable by the time print is officially dead?
Sounds like a pretty good policy, only problem is you've been throwing out the wrong pile the entire time.

Hmm, sounds good, so how do we get them to buy some Windows 10 licenses, or Intel CPUs?

Sure, users might grumble, but MS is not getting negative feedback through the one data channel that matters, the revenue stream, so why change?
It's ok, he's gonna build a dike and make the mer-people pay for it.
You'll notice that in cases where the person dying is not the person drinking, it often is illegal.
That is a feature that Autopilot already has.
