Our ancestors used to run all day to wear their dinner down to the point where they could catch and kill it. By comparison bike riding is easy on the metabolism. My commute is around 26 km/day but one day I would like to try something a bit more challenging.
The newspapers OWNED classifieds. They totally OWNED it. They blew it to ebay and Craigslist. So the NYTimes is a great example of playing catch-up ball.
Yeah but that was because they owned the sole distribution system. Its not the case now. TCP/IP destroyed the classified advertising market.
Yeah one other thought I had was that the prime market for electric cars is also a fairly poor market for cars over all. I would like to own an electric car but I ride a bike to work. It would have to replace my wife's Jetta, but there will be hell to pay for me if the new car doesn't satisfy 100% of her requirements.
Thats interesting, thanks for the update. The CERES environment park (near my house) has a Leaf housed in a little photovoltaic garage. It has a power controller of sorts which feeds solar power into the car. Their previous effort was a van which ran on recycled cooking oil. Whenever it drove past my house the smell made mu hungry.
I am an Aussie too but I suspect the US situation dates to times when steel wasn't as good as it is today, so sometimes you wanted to save mass and other times you needed a lot of metal.
Since the suspension of the Tesla S can apparently change the ground clearance, I wonder if the car could use radar or another type of sensor to try to avoid situations like this.
You need to look at the big picture. Occupants might be safer from objects below the car in the Tesla because of the battery, even if batteries tend to catch fire in this situation.
Yeah the premise of the article is all wrong, IMHO. Microsoft has buckets of money and doesn't need to sell off products. What they need is to create a niche for themselves in new, profitable markets. Having a broad product base to start from helps them get started on that. They need to hire a Steve Jobs, and the best suggestion I have heard is Gabe Newell.

These days people seem to expect to be vectored in on their destination by phone,

But ask a bike rider how to get from point to point by train...
A friend of mine let the battery run down on his WRX. He had to truck it to the Subaru dealer to have it rebooted.

Here in Australia the Leaf and Miev are both above $50k. I can buy two corollas and ten years of fuel with that amount of money.
Yeah but they were from, like, the next galaxy over.
The python was slow.
Its going to be the same say. Introduce a little bit of automation and drivers get complacent. The only way out is zero or 100% automation.
Consider raising a pin which is just barely under the side of a cup. Chances are the cup will slide sideways away from the pin.
But under load they will heat up quickly.

Well how do you move stuff around? Having said that I am surprised at how many size tow balls are in use in the USA.

Too much information can be a bad thing. You need to communicate these situations in a simple manner so that they don't distract the driver too much.
Try changing your mac address.

someone not-so-subtly accused him of communist sympathies in a letter to J. Edgar Hoover.
Sounds like something Arthur Clarke would do as a practical joke.
And Antarctica, Greenland...
I would suggest Gabe Newell but I don't actually want Microsoft to be saved.
