TFA, as usual, is short on details but this may give a hint: "The bet on fully electric vehicles will be paired with an investment in battery technology," (They have also announced that they are building their own battery "Gigafactory".) A "fully electric" vehicle has no ICE engine. A hybrid has ICE and electric. BEV is Battery Electric Vehicle (no ICE). Plug-in Hybrid is an ICE engine hybrid electric that usually has a small battery which you can plug in to charge. It will be interesting to see what they come up with. They pretty much single-handedly killed the diesel car and now they are scrambling to put something together so they can regain some green street cred. I wish them luck.
I believe that was the point. People created content for Coursera with the intention of giving it away for free. Coursera appropriated that content and is denying access to it so that it can sell it's other paid content. So, it's not a question of "people wanting something for free" but "people being denied access to something they were given".
Yes, you are uncommonly confused. These power plants were never owned or operated by California power companies. They're not even on the same grid as California.
High torque at 0 RPM (and every other speed) is what allows Teslas to beat most cars off the line and would do wonders for a truck. Also, electric motors don't need any gearbox to keep them in the "optimal torque range". They have a very broad optimal torque range. So you can dump those expensive, heavy multispeed gearboxes. Diesel/electric trains have electric motors for the same reason. You don't need big, heavy, fragile gearboxes.
The CNG turbine is much more efficient than a diesel. Utilities use a lot of them to generate electricity since they are cheap, powerful and efficient. A gas turbine can be up to 60% efficient compared to about 30% for diesel. Electric motors are incredibly powerful for their size and weight. When you consider that a Tesla car has 700 HP (performance version), it's not unreasonable to have four times that in an electric truck. These trucks are going to have amazing efficiency and much lower operating costs than diesel.
You might try at least spending a minute with Google before you spout your made up "facts". California gets 6% of its electricity from coal, 20% from renewables. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Here... fixed that for you: Despite using OSX for a couple of years, I switched to Unix after I experienced numerous problems with OSX. After spending so many hours fighting to get stuff like Finder, iMovie and web browsers working, I finally had enough. Although it was inexpensive, I bought myself a Chromebook.
I didn't expect I'd ever say this, but ChromeOS is superb. It is UNIX under the hood, but with a really nice UI. Most importantly, it just works. There's no fighting with it like there was with OSX. While upgrading my OSX system was always a crapshoot, I've never had any problems doing an upgrade on Chromebook. At this point I don't think I will ever have any reason to use desktop OSX ever again.
I moved all of my servers over to FreeBSD. Like OS X, it was a breath of fresh air. Everything works so much better. Plus I get ZFS out of the box. Plus most of its code is released under much friendlier and freer licenses than so much Linux code is.
So I need to ask, with ChromeOS and FreeBSD available to us, what room does that leave for OSX? I know on my computers it means that there's no room for OSX any longer. FreeBSD is excellent for servers. ChromeOS is excellent for workstations. That means that there's no need for OSX any longer.
I have a Chromebook with some ARM processor which feels faster and more responsive than my old (2010) Macbook Air so it's certainly possible. However, would Apple shoot themselves in the foot and offer something faster, better, and cheaper?
Years of Windows vulnerabilities have not convinced Microsoft to switch to a more secure foundation (backwards compatibility would be a big problem). Customers (sheeple) don't seem to mind the problems. Those that do have already switched. I used to work for a large international organization which ran Windows. We did a lot of traveling to places with dodgy Windows infrastructure. My colleagues would always get infected (usually by USB). I installed Linux on my travel laptop and never had a problem. The HQ (Switzerland) also had a constant problem with various malware infections and attacks. It was a constant battle (and they were losing). It didn't help that there was a lot of politically sensitive data on the network which was a ripe target. If you're using Windows, you're a sitting duck and you only have yourself to blame.
A lot of national postal systems act as banks offering low cost checking and savings systems. It's very convenient. However, in the US, the bank industry bribes Congress to prevent USPS from offering any competition. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Once Congress kills it and hands it over to FREE ENTERPRISE, they won't dare to ask any of these things of a private corporation because it might impinge on their profits which they use to bribe Congress.
They get paid either way. If the computer does it, they get paid. If they do it, they get paid. If they screw up, they get paid. Heads they win, tails you lose. T. Rowe Price average expenses 1% Vanguard average fees 0.18% If you're paying them 1% a year with a gross return that is only 4% then you are paying them 25% of your profit. Best to check on those fees before you invest.
Unix systems (Linux, OSX, etc.) are much more secure and require direct user intervention before much damage can be done. That's why you only see these infections on Windows. Really, Windows is a security nightmare and can't be fixed.

Sorry to disappoint you but I just switched back to FireFox from Chrome for just these same reasons. Chrome is slow and regularly pegs my CPU at 100% when I open a few (script-heavy) pages. Also, I found some UI choices odd and never got used to them. (Want to print? Chrome wants me to make a pdf. Really want to print? OK, extra steps.) Switched back to FireFox a few weeks ago and it seems much faster, never pegs my CPU and I like the UI. (20 tabs open now in two windows... love side tabs... CPU cool with it even though I also have FreeMind, LibreOffice, gedit, and a few other Java programs running) YMMV
