Tesla Unveils the Model X
·
· Score: 3, Informative
$35,000 Tesla Model III coming in 2017 Since they've seemed to slip all of their shcedules by 1-2 years, I'm guessing 2019. This blog post discusses Tesla's top-down strategy where they use luxury cars to fund development of mass-market cars.
two competing requirements: lower emissions and higher mileage. Do they have any engineering expertise that proves this is even possible?
So cursory google searches do suggest that incomplete combustion is a common cause for both lower mileage and higher emissions. If two problems have a common cause, then addressing that cause addresses both items. If it is possible to more completely combust the fuel, it would be possible to simultaneously get better mileage and reduce emissions.
The fun part for me was always the disk drivers. XP 32-bit used the Windows 2000 style disk drivers, whereas XP 64-bit used the Windows 2003 style disk drivers. They were not compatible even putting aside the 32-bit/64-bit difference.
Windows 2003 had a 64 bit version, but Windows 2003 mainly was 32 bit. If you used the/PAE option on the 32 bit edition, you could get past the 4GB barrier on that OS... but the caceat was only if you had the enterprise or data center editions (which got you to 32 GB or 64 GB respectively.)
The issue P is talking about wasn't getting more than 4GB it was getting exactly 4GB. Windows 32-bit used to lose some memory to addressing which depended on other hardware installed in the machine (not overhead since the memory wasn't in use, just the addresses were assigned to other things like video memory). While/PAE was only documented for enterprise and data center, I remember it working in 2003 Standard to relieve this specific issue (it wouldn't take you past 4GB).
>Plus there's the concentration issue - parts per trillion doesn't make for much of a problem in any case. Even the authors didn't make this out to be a health problem....
So you wouldn't mind drinking parts per trillion of heroin for your whole adult life? Or are you assuming that fracking chemicals are somehow safer, so that's not a fair equivalence?
Let's see if I can work this out. Heroin is an opiate, so effective dosage is probably in the milligram range. 369.41 g/mol so 1.63x10^18 parts for a dose. At ppt, you would need to drink 13 gallons of water to get a dose. From what I can tell it's about the same as taking a single Tylenol-3 every 11 days.
You'd have to pick some other human event to set the start date. You could go with the moon landing or the first atomic bomb test or any other number of historic dates that are well established... more mundane like the founding of Slashdot.
It should be based on the first time the ball dropped in Times Square.
From what I understand the 6000 figure comes from adding up the ages of the patriarchs in Genesis, and then tying the events in Genesis to a known historical event. In order for person x to have existed during event y, Adam was created in year z. I believe the x is normally Moses and the y is the reign of Ramses II of Egypt, but I could be mistaken.
Yeah and that class action will cost Amazon a fraction of a percent of their yearly revenue while at the same time having scared plenty of their workers from trying to leave and work for anyone else for years while the court battle drags on.
If a contract has something like this in it, I'm guessing there's also language that mandates arbitration (vs lawsuit) and forbids class actions. I can't play a modern video game from a major publisher without a clause that mandates arbitration.
He would be right _IF_, and only _IF there was a qualifier next to the use of "exponential" (As I originally stated). Unqualified, it is a psychological trick because your mind will automatically associate the provided "annual" qualifier to the term.
That is not to say you can't stop and rationalize it correctly, but that you have to stop to rationalize it to correct it makes it classic brainwashing ala Bernays and his ilk.
Exponential is an absolute term. It doesn't need a qualifier, if the formula fits it's exponential.
There's a difference between email, where there is NO reasonable expectation of privacy
"Reasonable expectation of privacy" is a legal term. I can't find a case that went all the way to the SCOTUS that covers email. Further, it usually seems to be a side issue in most cases I've found. However, looking at cases it seems like email is thought to have the same expectation of privacy as a first class letter. With details about the email unrelated to its contents (such as email addresses, size, sites it was routed through, ip addresses, total volume email received) are not subject to a reasonable expectation of privacy. Also, once the email has been delivered, it's expectation of privacy diminishes, just like snail mail.
The numbers are identical and the two articles also make the same point. The two major differences are that Pew says U.S. is #2 because they don't include Mexico or Turkey in their list of developed economies, and that the chart in Pew is sorted on pre-tax/transfer numbers even though the article makes the point that that is not the best way to look at things. Basically Europe has better benefits/higher taxation, so the overall impact of inequality is less than it would otherwise be when compared to the U.S.
Instead you'll get atheist or "the wrong religion(tm)" posts being flagged as false. Plus, not all political messages are such that "false will probably do". Which of the following political statements should be marked false?
"The economy was hit hard by the housing crisis"
"Unchecked human industry is negatively impacting the environment"
"Medical expenses are the number 1 cause of bankruptcy in America"
"The US constitution prohibits establishment of religion by congress"
I think all of them are true, but not everyone will agree.
I think as phrased the first statement would not have anyone mark it false. However, people disagree as to the solutions, so once you address those it would be.
The second statement is a widely acknowledged politically decisive issue, so it will be marked false by some.
The third statement is a matter of fact checking, and another response found evidence that it may be false
I don't think people would mark the fourth statement false, but there are always people that want to go into nuances.
And of course, ever since the 80486 (1989), all CPUs support floating point instructions.
486 SX chips had the FPU disabled or absent. So not all CPUs (or even all 80486 CPUs). As far as I'm aware Penitum (586) did not have a model without FPU support (although in the MMX models, you couldn't use MMX and the FPU at the same time).
There's multiple options, here is a series of videos explaining some options. Each one favors a certain set of goals, so decide what your set of goals are and then you can advocate for that voting system. http://www.youtube.com/playlis...
Actually the Mas and Pas is a easy Linux market, just setup a desktop with a functioning copy of firefox or chromium, remote administration via ssh and you're set. Add open office for the random document and that pretty much covers the Mas and Pas requirements.
As long as it has functioning Java and Flash. Unfortunately, Java in Firefox on Linux tends to break a lot and my experience has been Flash only works correctly on 32-bit systems.
FYI, that is an example of incorrect behavior. They raped him.
I don't have a bible in front of me to double check. As I remember it they tried to rape him, but he was able to pull out at the last second. He was punished by G*d for pulling out. I've never been able to determine the exact lesson that story was trying to teach. But it could be a case of poor reading comprehension over the years.

Accident rate in general: 4-5% Accident rate so far with only 48 vehicles: 8-9%
4 in 48 : -6% -- +23%
However, that's a gross oversimplification.

There are more people living in and around Los Angeles alone than the population of at least half the states in the nation
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C...
The normal statistic for Undocumented workers is 1 in 10, so call the CSA a nice round 20 million.
If Los Angeles were a state it would be ranked somewhere between 3rd and 7th in population depending on how much of the outlying are you counted.

I know it's not actually completely necessary to your point, but I can't actually figure out which side you are advocating for or against on this.
