Objective analysis of the world around them is very much an appropriate thing to teach your children. Not everything is pink ponies and Power Rangers. People with power and authority need to be viewed critically not abjectly. Neither does everyone live their lives with the values you hold. That said, the depth into which your children are introduced should be proportionate to their maturity. Dark may not be so bad, but deep depravity not so appropriate.
First and foremost it is considered a disruptive and transformative technology; it's one of Elon's pets; and it's an aspirational product for geeks. All of which, but especially the first point mean that any Tesla article will attract a sizable crowd.
I find it interesting that HUDs and other augmented reality devices are being implemented for soldiers on the battlefield, aircraft, cars, etc. but somehow when that augmented reality display combines wearable and car it becomes as dangerous as a dumb*** taking his eyes of the road to text on his mobile. I would assert that given the same kinds technology are being implemented with goals of improving outcomes on the battlefield, provide safer air travel, remove the need take your eyes of the road to look down at the dashboard in cars, etc. that the burden of proof rests with the regulators not the other way around. Show me evidence that eating a cheeseburger, adjusting the radio, smoking a cigarette, putting on makeup, turning around to yell at your brats in the back seat, or any other among countless unregulated activities are less dangerous than wearing an augmented reality display while driving. The conspiracy theorist in me wonders if this has more to do with Google Glass' ability to provide for easy monitoring of law enforcement.
Oh come now, are you telling me you wouldn't want Google to park itself in South L.A.? I mean come on, think of the attraction that would have for all those 20 somethings. "Why play the video game when you can live it? Grand Theft Auto: Google edition"
This guy is a web monkey that spent his day playing drag and drop games in a UI editor. From his perspective, yes, the IDE made him a bad programmer. The trouble is, what he's talking about really isn't an IDE in the complete or even normal sense. An IDE is a toolbox with many tools, a saw, a hammer, a screwdriver, perhaps even a CNC machine, but ultimately writing software isn't about sitting down and George Jetsoning the CNC machine all day. If that's what you've done with your software development career that's unfortunately, but don't blame toolbox, blame the carpenter.
This is the government wanting more intrusive access into your phone. This doesn't have a damn thing to do with theft. Android already has a "where the ****" is my phone, as well as wiping features exposed through Google's device manager service. If you want another party to have access to such functionality you can make that party administrator of your phone such as is often done when connecting your phone to your company's Exchange server.
Shortly after the fire, seven Tesla employees visited the owner of the vehicle. The company also offered to take care of the damages and inconvenience caused by the fire, but the owner declined.
Why would anyone decline restitution unless there's a bit more to the story of how the fire started?
Maybe they should stop making "more" transmission lines for power and start using co-generation of their waste heat in the industrial south so that they "need" less energy.
Partly right. If they don't want transmission lines then perhaps they should answer "NIMBY" by using wireless microwave transmission instead?
Do you really think that any cost savings would be passed on to the consumer? They want is to be a 1990's AOL style provider where everything you do exists within the Crapcast ecosystem and then charge you a premium for the favor of restricting your choises.
Looking at the coverage maps, I'd say CenturyLink is really the only direct competitor of consequence for any of them. They are the only ones that seem to have a presence in most of the same markets. Each of the other players seem to have settled down in the respective territories purposefully avoiding one another.
The FCC was/is more interested in pageantry than anything. In typical fashion they avoided strategically valuable hills and planted "Net Neutrality" flags atop indefensible positions that ensured their fighting forces minimal casualties. In fact, the FCC played the impotent coward and completely ignored "Common Carrier" hill--the one hill that would have ensured a decisive, and lasting victory for the consumers--simply because it had some scary people with money guarding it.
I don't claim to hold qualifications such that I may tell the community how to build them nor the full details of how they work. I just get the impression that obtaining larger colliders is going to be beyond the limits of government will. Invention might be easier than persuasion.
I can't help but wonder if there isn't a better (read efficient/economical) way to achieve the same thing without these sprawling accelerator loops. Even something as stupid as firing the particles around the loop a few times. I'm sure it would be technically hard, but is it harder than obtaining these increasingly larger colliders?
Any cord cutter that actually cares to watch the non-OTA proceedings will probably not care too much about whether they watch it from a foreign stream and/or sources of questionable legality.
I believe he cited a number of points including the reduction in data density and the disregard for tradition in both form and function. Both points I also agree with. The beta version disregards the historical user base and its preferences in an attempt to attract non-Slashdot types.
The contemporary usage of JavaScript is in and of itself a hack. The language was never scoped to solve the problems it is presently being applied to. JavaScript has been leveraged to accomplish some pretty amazing feats, but that doesn't change the nature of how the language is being abused and contorted to accomplish them.

Tax credits vary depending on where you live. Regardless, for US customers there's a federal tax credit of $7,500 for personal use EVs. State incentives can bump that up to $15,000. Base cost is $69,000.
The maintenance on EVs are negligible, a fact that for instance prompts many Nissan dealers to marginalize, even avoid stocking the Leaf altogether. Wiper blades, alignments, and tires. Check the maintenance schedule on them. There really isn't much to do, it's most just a bunch of inspections. The usable life on Tesla battery packs will easily outlast the average life of an ICE retaining 85% capacity at 100,000 miles.

That's easy to answer. It's impossible given the current broadband environment.

for continued smooth access to Comcast's network customers
Sounds like extortion and for that matter a bald faced lie. When the hell did I ever get "smooth" access to Netflix over Crapcast's network?
Ok, how about this. Select a handful of countries with nice pipes and emulate what they did to get to where they are.
The part that I find a little funny is that:

Have you never heard of Tachyons?
Is it time to brush up on our Japanese?

HB60 was pulled from the scheduled Feb 4 committee meeting. I wonder if someone got cold feet?
