Except your not working for "them" directly - rather in the market place.
There is an aspect of this which i can see making schools act more in the student's best interest long term - by focusing on actual skills and job placement rather than keeping them enrolled for more "tuition"
But there is a very very slippery slope on this one, and i'm sure it will go down with some slick lawyer....
i was about to say, since when is "sorting" considered AI? if so let me update my resume to add 20+ years experience in "AI" - although give IBM's current approach to workforce........
While money makes it easier, there is no substitute for self determination. and time can be made, look at what you do and where yous spend your time. for me i intentionally do not watch TV, it saves me $$ and frees up time to learn new things.
Yes they do. Many people choose not to do anything because it is easier.
This exactly, reinventing your self, forcibly changing roles/industry/etc. is hard. It requires hard work and self control, and a fuck load of will power to make your self do it.
Having been someone who has done it a couple of times starting early in life, and making it happen in unconventional ways, i know it can be done. And while i do feel sorrow for individuals who feel they are stuck i do not feel pity for them because i know if they had the self determination they could make change.
I would venture to say there is a difference between "seeing" and "comprehending' the big picture.. I work with managers+ all the time, and they can all "see" the big picture, but if a piece of the puzzle is missing they are at a loss to draw it in. then you have some who "comprehend" will take the gap as an opportunity to make it their own, and tailor it. they are two very very different things.
Citation needed? really? and then you link to an unlicensed adapter being sold on a forum?
Also note they are clear on that one that it does NOT work with the charging stations, only the home charger, so it doesn't even fit into the conversation going on.
Also you are saying that Tesla insists that any other "company" that wants to use the network needs to support it (I'll use your comment as my Citation). Again if they wanted to increase adoption they could easily allow consumers to buy and adapter and to then pay for the power consumption, but they don't.
All of the manufacturers to a point are creating barriers rather than removing them. This is an area where regulation could actually help, by forcing a standard much the same way DOT regulates the distribution and dispersing of fuels.
Not exactly true, they have been trying to get others to "License" their charging standard. Tesla built a standard and the rest of the industry built a standard (and Tesla refused to participate).
Now to top that Tesla sells an adapter so that Their cars can use the Industry standard for quick charge, but refuse to sell the licence for their standard to be used in an adapter that allows others to use their chargers.
So in simple terms, their "trying" has been wanting to get a kick back for every car built, Not actually removing barriers for within the industry.
Again as a consumer and end user, i'd buy an adapter and pay to use their chargers if i could, but i can't because the option doesn't exist. Also i'd love to buy their car, but i can't because they do not have anything within my affordability range.
I will say, as an EV owner but someone who can not afford a Tesla (we have a used Leaf) it infuriates me that Tesla has spent so much effort building a network that they will not even let others pay to use. I know they are going for the vendor lock in vertical market, but it is slowing down overall EV adoption..
As long as you can leave when you want to. A lot of the company towns where setup so that yes it wasn't bad, you could have a nice life there, as long as you worked there. They made it so you couldn't quite make enough to live there AND save up to get out of there.
i have had Pandora for years, i got tired of listening to the same song over and over regardless of what station i was on. also the random adding of "artist" adds for paid subscribers, where you have to turn it off per channel.... it just got to be a bit much. mix that with already having Amazon prime, and it's "free" version, which i honestly like better because the stations keep true and don't bleed over..
I'm counted in one of their 5m paid subscribers, but i canceled my membership, and don't plan on using the rest of it (from now till April)
Pandora was great - then they stop evolving, and are getting eaten up.
agreed, we love our leaf, other than the random tesla they are the only other EVs we see. looking to get another one, just wish insurance was cheaper on them (a 2013 leaf is 2x the insurance cost of a 2008 Tundra)
it should work on either gas or diesel, you shouldn't have to select. If not, that's a massive failure.
While i would tend to agree with you, when it comes to a turbine very few can run multi fuel without changing a compressor stage or two and the ones that can take a heavy efficiency penalty for it. Note this is mainly military service turbines as they have to run no mater what, and a little more cost is never an issue for them.
Personally i am wondering how they are planning on passing emissions. While yes they are are going to be way low on CO2 compared to IC engines, CNG Turbines typically have high NOX levels. I want to know what Turbine they are planning on using, i couldn't find that information anywhere.

Would you go to work if you didn't get paid? No way!
yes/no., if all my needs where taken care of (as if i was paid) then yes i would go to work unpaid because i enjoy what i do.
I know i will never quick working, rather retirement for me will be the ability to pick and choose between projects.
I do not get up in the morning and dread going into work, that is horrible. Last time that happened I found a different Job.

it has been years since i wanted mod points, and i wish i had them.. you nailed it.
so are you building the extra refinery? or am i? or you know if you don't i won't and we can both just charge x2 the price...
We can only hope?
damn that looks painful to use.. awesome really, but still painful.. looks perfect to leave in a network closet as a terminal monitor..
Charging to 100% isn't always required, especially when out and about traveling. You could do ~4x 80% charges for the same time as 2x 100% charges
42kW charge rate for a 24kW battery pack is not going to tie it up for that long. the Quick charge on ours is 20min for 80%

Nahh,, lets just go ahead and nominate him for a Darwin

While i understand and to a point agree, there is a big difference between cheating in single player to bow off steam, and then cheating in PvP.
Cheat all you want single player, but if you come to an online platform where it is PvP or any way multi player leave the cheats at the door..
agreed, we love our leaf, other than the random tesla they are the only other EVs we see. looking to get another one, just wish insurance was cheaper on them (a 2013 leaf is 2x the insurance cost of a 2008 Tundra)
Just for fun some government positions are excluded from insider trading. So yea that is not.a ly were it comes from.

Oh, GOD! It's WORSE than I remembered!!
And it will continue to get worse every time Steamboat Willy gets close to falling into the public domain.
Just think of it as anything made during or after 1928.
you have no idea how close you are to reality, really oh so close
