I'm betting you'll get your Chevy faster than your your Model 3; how long is it going to take to make 370k units? Years...even GM (who know a little about mass-producing cars) are only planning to ship 25k units a year, with the possibility of ramping up to 50k units "later".
Of course, since the Model 3 will end up being more expensive than planned, I'm guessing many of those orders will get cancelled...
Well, I think we can all admit that the Chevy Bolt is certainly the biggest competitor of the Tesla 3 (well, until the Nissan Leaf upgrade their range), but it's too soon yet to decide which one of the two will be the best.
Let's wait that the tesla 3 officially launch so we'll have some real number to compare.
The news about the oxygen leaving the atmosphere dated from last September. So, were they expecting that the oxygen leaving would try to avoid the gravitational pull of the moon or something?
What would happen next? They'll find out that some oxygen reach the sun?

Which is really a pity - they are probably one of the last producers of phones with changeable batteries and sd card slot. My LG G3 is 2.5 years old and still going strong as day 1.
They have succumb to the trend set by (also failed) Google ARA project which made no sense to start with.
If anybody from the LG is reading this: keep doing what you were doing, only "modular" thing needed on the phone are battery and memory card. Keep the headphone jack, keep the excellent build quality and do as minimal changes as you must to the original android UI.
There is a lot of us that don't want flashy gimmicks with money to spend and less and less options to choose. Be smart.
Actually, the LG G3 was quite an amazing cellphone. When people around me break their latest iPhone and cannot afford de 800$ for a new one, I always recommend the LG G3. It's a High-spec, three-generation old cellphone that you can easily find around 200$ because of the low recognition of the brand. Still, there's a few flaw they made that could be easily avoided. For the LG G3, the Pixel-Heavy-Overkill screen if the main problem, draining the big 3000 mAh in less than a day. It's a stupid marketing move only to have more pixel density than the competition. Oh yeah, and their crappy LG OS-over-android is another one.
It's a shame they always try to do something "special" instead of simply focusing on doing everything "great".
couldn't we simply install a sort of catapult on the asteroid to send big chunk in a trajectory that'll eventually reach earth?
No, it would just sling around the Earth and stay in an elongated orbit. Or it would crash to the Earth's surface and be scattered as fine dust.
Come on, it's not Facebook. No matter how you're planning to bring the iron here, of course you'll obviously need an efficient system to handle the atmosphere re-entry (I may be wrong, but it look to me that this will be the bigger challenge).
And is it really possible for an big chunk of iron on solar orbit to be captured and enter in a Earth orbit without an external force? I'm curious about the math.
It's all about location, location, location. You got a buyer for that $10 Quintillion USD worth of iron protoplanet located in the astroid belt? Didn't think so.
Yeah, about this. Let's talk in a future "maybe" no too far away.
I know bringing the whole asteroid into earth's orbit is out of the question, too many people will freak out about the the risk of a collision (and I'm sure the cost of such propulsion system would be insane).
I didn't do the math, but couldn't we simply install a sort of catapult on the asteroid to send big chunk in a trajectory that'll eventually reach earth? Of course, the counter-force of these launch will "eventually" send the whole asteroid to the opposite direction, but I'm sure we'll have our share of iron when it'll start to be a problem.
Prime just felt lame and hard to control. I tried again with Prime 3, but alas, they hadn't fixed anything.
The GBA ones were good. The NES and GB ones were great. And nothing beats good ol' Metroid 3 (a.k.a. Super Metroid). If you want proof, just watch any of the GDQ's and see what their "main event" is to cap off their marathons. It's always Super Metroid in some configuration or another. That game was just a masterpiece.
Metroid will forever be 2D for me.
DEER FORCE!
So basically, follow the trail of Megaman? Those type of 2D scrolling game doesn't age well.
Personally I find that Metroid Prime was one of the most impressing revival of the videogame history and it completely transformed a series that became one of Nintendo's strongest. I'm just a little sad that they dropped the ball after Metroid Prime 3. As for "Federation Force", I find that the initial idea was a great way to restart the franchise again, but it was poorly done.
If you want to drive above the speed limit on undivided roads, don't use autopilot, it's as simple as that. Nobody is forcing anyone to use it.
Of course nobody is forcing me, I'm one meaningless person, nobody care if I use it or not.
My point is, if everyone deactivate the feature because they don't like driving slower than everyone else on the highway, how will Tesla accumulate autopilot date and hour to progress this tech?
And I wonder how many accident will happen because the Tesla is thinking there's a working zone at 70 km/h while it was actually finished and people are driving 120 km/h. Sure it's that guy's fault for driving fast, but nobody is expecting a "human" to drive that slow on the highway.
My grandfather always told me that the safest drive speed is the one that follow the traffic.
I got this example in my city (and I'm sure most of you can relate) of some big, perfect straight highway with 5 lanes where the maximum speed is crazily set at 70 km/h (45 mph). And, as you can guess, everyone, even the slow lane, goes over 100.
In my opinion, this is where corporate responsibility have entered too far in personal responsibility, kinda like I don't want my GPS to start an alarm and stop working if I go over the limit. So if there's an accident related to high speed where the user have set the speed over the limit, it's the driver's fault.
I truly wonder if the act is the problem or the person, because I think if it was "your guy" you would be praising him as a great leader promoting valuable skills, but since this is not the case, he is wasting time.
Why don't you go and check my posts over the last decade and change. I'll wait while you make an ass out of yourself.
Well, you did convince me of something. Considering your attitude, I'll certainly be a fool to try that.
And with no pressing issues in Canada, all is safe. With energy costs(from gasoline, electricity to natural gas) that are going through the roof in nearly every province. Never mind that Canada is teetering either on a deflationary spiral or hyperinflation spiral(depending on which way the housing market goes). A housing market so hot that it makes the late 1980's housing market seem like a balmy day, and CHMC(think freddie-fanie) mortgages arrears and foreclosures are increasing. Serious regional unemployment numbers, but believes importing *more* people is a great plan--especially TFW's who could be hired at any job(unlike H1B's which are limited to one area) with wanting to have a population in Canada of 100m in 50 years. His pay-for-play access scandal. A carbon tax that's going to jack the prices of everything up by around 20%, a declining service and manufacturing industry. Rampant debt and overzealous expenditure projects that in the previous government would have every left-wing media publication screaming from the rooftop about how we can't afford it.
While it'll probably take way too long to discuss all the cited issue pro and con and the reasoning of Canada's prime minister behind those decision, a quick 3-hour codding + tweet to promote studding and codding is a pretty efficient move by the Prime minister don't you think?
One interesting use I can think of is to simply carry one around in case you get arrested by the police.
Supposedly police require a warrant to search your personal papers such as your cell phone, so this shouldn't be much different. If they take the USB drive over to the cruiser and plug it in "just to see" then this will fry their system.
You can even tell the officer not to plug the device in, that it's not a thumb drive, and that there's no information on it.
It would probably work at airports as well.
I really don't see a downside to this.
Well, let's start with the fact that police equipment are paid with your taxe, which basically mean you're burning your own money.
Beside, I don't get why so many people have so much hate again the police. Yeah there's a bunch of them that are asshole, but asshole exist in every profession. It's just that it's more of a problem if it's a police officer (or a politician) instead of the garbage boy.
Download the openstreetmaps data for offline use and store it on your phone. Look up the nearest fast food joint. They probably all have WiFi at this point.
Isn't similar to Google Navigation Offline maps? Doesn't work too well as the search doesn't work 50% of the time and the GPS is less efficient without the cellular data.
If your cellular connection isn't strong, a nearby Wi-Fi location can be a big help
What if you don't have a cellular connection?
I can already easily use Google Map with limited connectivity to find restaurant with free Wi-Fi. What I don't have is an helper to help me find free Wi-Fi hotspot when I'm driving in the USA and I "don't" have cellular connection.
Oh yeah, and on the sideline and while I'm talking about the USA, why there's no free Wi-Fi in your airport yet?
For the sake of argument, suppose this is possible.
You will wake up about 5 generations beyond where you are now. Assuming her death doesn't end the bloodline altogether, the relatives she has in 100 years will have no real familial connection to her. Everyone and everything that defines her sense of happiness now will likely be dead and gone or so evolved that it is unrecognizable (like tech and hobbies).
Then you have the cultural change. Imagine being frozen in 1900 and waking up in 2016. The whole social order is different. You likely are deeply at odds with it culturally.
So odds are you just wake up a social pariah, with no skills, in an alien social order with no friends and family. Heck, you might not even speak the lingua franca of that age. For all we know, Mandarin could replace English by 2116.
People imagine it like a movie where you wake up in a shiny, accepting utopia and you just go like Ender to the stars where no one knows your past or cares. The reality is probably more akin to you becoming a ward of the state for years, being looked down on except as a curiosity.
Really, this is what you came up best as an argument again this?
Better be death than waking in a completely different world?
Not much different that a friend that cut all his family tie and have gone in a world trip adventure (he's now in China for the last 2-3 years). And he have never being happier.
My point is, family, culture and language are a long, looonnnng shot to be absolute necessity for happiness. And if I had a grand-grand-grand great father about to wake up at my age, I'll be one of the first in line to ask him to share a beer in a bar.
Coal waste is NOT more radioactive than nuclear waste. The difference is that nuclear waste is not dumped into the environment, while waste from coal burning is. Nuclear waste is stored, and storage space is limited. Permanent dumps for nuclear waste are difficult to engineer. They must be designed to hold nuclear waste for millennia.
Yeah, about this, why aren't we dumping it at the bottom of the ocean already?
Someone please confirm, but aren't the bottom of the ocean filled with clay and heavy water that are both very efficient radiation shield topped with the lack of much life there and the near impossibility for terrorist to get them?
Of course, there's always dumping them in the sun, but that's not for anywhere soon.
May I bring to your attention that your "business" depend of the "flaws" of another product? This basically mean that you're trying to sue MS for fixing their OS.
Be grateful your business lasted as long as it did.
So do we speed up rotation of the earth, or move it further away from the sun (to get 100 days to the quarter) Metric time isn't as easy as length and mass.
While 365 d/y is fixed, but everything else can be changed.
100 second, 100 minute and 10 hours a day could be easily done. In fact, the french already tried to adopt decimal time : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Even if I do agree that the AC OP is a troll, you should use source a little more recent than 2013 to draw those conclusion. There's a lot of event that happened for the model S since 2013.
Money only has value if you can exchange it for other people's work. I'm not sure if machines will accept it...
I find this point interesting. Of course, a Universal Basic Income do not depend on people work. But it will no longer represent people's sweat.
Of course, a complete Universal Basic Income will take a loooong time. But there's already many country on the world that give some sort of basic income for people that don't/can't work.
I'm just wondering how people will react thought. There's a old artist here that once said "la meilleure façon de tuer un homme, c'est de le payer à ne rien faire." (translated to : "the best way to kill a man, it's to paid him to do nothing"). It fell funny to say but, will our society be happy with a goal less life?
And where will this type of thing end? What level crimes will justify such privacy invasions? To me, this just sounds a lot like spam.
What's sort of conspiracy you're cooking right now?
As someone mentioned in the last/. post on the subject, this is roughly the digital equivalent of police knocking on doors to ask questions. Do they need a warrant for this? No. The fact that the police need a warrant to text potential witness is, IMO, what's surprising (but in a good way). And between receiving the police at the front door or receiving a text. I guess we could all agree which one invade your privacy more.
As long as it does just that, sending a text to all cellphone in the radius of a crime, I don't see the problem. Until we heard they're receiving and tracking this data do do some search without warrant, I won't see the problem.
