Charging stations will offer the most powerful and advanced charging technology ever deployed. 350 kW charging has the capability to add about 20 miles of range per minute to a vehicle, allowing up to300 miles of fuel to be added in only 15-20 minutes for some next generation vehicles
Also not vendor locked, the chargers will not be proprietary.
Yes, and how you would have felt after responding a distress call you find a few teenagers laughing at you?
That 1000 years of jurisprudence is just a convention. No nation or people are expected to do unreasonable or heroic things. If they do, they get praised. If not, it is just being part of the risk of going to the sea. How many boiler explosions? How many riverboats caught fire? How much was the rescue effort? Has any nation, state or municipality been ever charged with not mounting a rescue operation? Has anyone challenged the assertion by the local fire chief, "It is too dangerous, it too dark, it is too windy, let us call it off"?
What *I* think as reasonable completely irrelevant. But people must accept there are limits to what the government can do. We have a democracy, and we vote and we will come to some sort of agreement about what is reasonable and what is not.
But the stand taken by the original poster about the prank calls wasting resources is irrelevant and the entire coast guard must be on his beck and call to rescue his sorry ass out of water is completely unreasonable.
Home owners pay a larger part of the upkeep of the fire department. Compared to how much boaters pay for rescuing their sorry asses out of trouble.
Further, if prank calls make fire departments unreasonably expensive, we have to disband fire department too. Whats sauce of the goose is the sauce for the gander.
I am a tax payer and I am not an avid boater. I have no reason to save you at all costs.
Ahhh... so
If you don't have kids, you shouldn't have to pay unreasonable amount of taxes for schools.
If you don't drive, you shouldn't have to pay unreasonable amount to up keep roads.
You never want us to be at war with another country, so why should you pay unreasonable amount of taxes to fund the military.
You've never had your house robbed, why should your taxes go to pay for the police. You're not expecting to be held up at gunpoint any time soon- screw paying for a police force.
You don't go to national parks, why should you have to pay unreasonable amounts for it?
None of your family are unemployed, why should you pay unreasonable amount of taxes for benefits.
You live on a hill, why should you pay unreasonable amount of for flood control in your city.
You're not a woman, why should your taxes unreasonable amount of pay for rape prevention initiatives.
Do you get the point? That boater dude was demanding to be rescued no matter what the cost was. That demand must be squarely and roundly rejected.
First home owner's taxes fund a large part of our fire departments. What percentage of Coast Guard budget comes from boaters taxes? The boaters need to thank their lucky stars we non boaters fund rescue services. And stop being so demanding.
Second, whats sauce for the goose, is sauce for the gander too. If the prank calls make fire service unaffordable, we need to disband fire services too. But long before it comes to that we home owners will band together and find the source of prank calls and make sure the situation does not escalate. Same thing the boaters should do. To rescue the rescue service.
... in some penitentiary. Not the students, but the owners of these engineering colleges.
I am from India, and I *know* the abysmal quality of what passes for an engineering college there.
The poor and lower middle class of India know viscerally that education is the ticket out of poverty. They are willing to mortgage their family wealth, spend 40% of the meagre income on college tuition. They hope somehow their child, usually the eldest son, will somehow make it and pull their family out of poverty.
But that much of money coming out of ill informed population is a honey pot for the unscrupulous scammers of all stripes, politicians in particular. Every damned politician at state level owns college complexes. Engineering, medical, dental and nursing schools, all in one large campus, totally privately and individually owned by a state level minister. Corruption in management, recruiting faculty, running the college, collecting the fees, in admission procedure, everywhere is rampant. Most of these grads don't really make it out of poverty
But the degree they get B.E or B.Tech B.Arch MBBS are the same degrees awarded by real colleges like the IITs and NITs and AIIMS etc. So the ill formed poor people get scammed. It is not going to be fixed by passing a few laws by Delhi bureaucrats.
Quality education, be it engineering, be it Greek literature, needs investment and effort.
I am a tax payer and I am not an avid boater. I have no reason to save you at all costs. Only as long as rescue costs are reasonable, it will be funded. If the cost becomes too much, we would yank the entire rescue service. We, the taxpayers, might impose additional restrictions like demanding people provide gps coordinates etc. After the rescue, we would insist on an accident review, and if we find the boater has taken unnecessary risk, or had not followed procedure, a stiff fine might be levied. If necessary the entire cost of rescue should be charged to the user.
So it is in your own interest, people so research like this, and make the research reliable and make pranking a pointless exercise.
At some point we would insist on boating to be taxed so that boater rescue is self funding.
When it came out it wanted 1 $ a year. I think I snagged a deal of 3$ for 5 years. How much it costs to provide the service, does it generate any revenue, are there any profits?
The sonic boom is not really an issue. The actual sonic boom from Concorde at cruise altitude, by the time it reached ground level, was very much attenuated and posed no real risk. It was just American airplane companies spreading FUD to thwart Europeans. FUD works only for a while, these guys knew it too. All they wanted was to buy time to get their competing entry into the market.
But.. the fuel cost is really high and when the oil price shot through the roof, there is no way commercial super sonic transport could become a success. Supersonic transports are coming back, this time as small 20 seater or smaller targeting the super rich. There was an Airbus concept a couple of years ago. Now an American trial balloon.
Of course Zuckerberg's understanding of Artificial Intelligence is limited. But he know Natural Stupidity like no one else. That where he made his billions.
I remember posting about it back when VW diesel cheating was making rounds.
If it is any other country/company we could blame it on "low level team cheating" or "midlevel managers were scared to tell the higher level managers the truth" or "simple incompetence and cowboy attitude towards laws".
But in Germany, in VW, these stories do not add up. Given the documentation they do and the way they follow the orders, the cheating was done with full knowledge and compliance of everyone all the way to the top. VW buys our software. I see their acceptance testing reports and how much they test, document and demand explanations. Not only they document, they refer to the docs and use them all the time.
No way the VW diesel cheating was the work of some rogue team in some isolated division. It went all the way up the company, now it appears, it went all the way up the entire damned industry.
This time, for a change, TSA was unexpectedly right.
They were getting bad rap about TSA agents stealing stuff from checked in bags. Someone knew these comic books are valuable and might be tempting to finger dippers among the TSA. So they warned the attendees to keep their valuables safe.
United, on the other hand, was up to its usual level of incompetence.
Makes one wonder, if they are that clueless and that incompetent on public facing aspects of the company, what goes on in maintenance and scheduling?
We have to amend FAA's charter, it should become a mere policeman for all commercial aircraft. The language about promoting air travel should be stripped from their charter and the goal must be realigned. It is not the job of the government to pick winners and losers among the transportation industry.
"Why do you pick a garden gecko, [going about its business not bothering you at all] and put it inside your loin cloth and complain that it is scratching and biting [your balls out]?" (In Tamil it has a nice cadence and rhyming words)
Think about this before installing random apps in your phone and give it all sorts of permissions.
Stanford had Silicon Valey. MIT had Rt 128. But CMU largely missed the bus. Some flickerings (Fore Systems) but nothing took hold.
But CMU's steady investment in robotics is paying off. All those autonomous vehicle projects of the 1990s and 2000s looked like castles in the air. But now it has become hot.
It also coincides with "return to urban centers" movement. All those 100 year old neighborhoods are designed for living before the proliferation of automobiles, designed mostly for walking and for street cars. These youngsters love them, bidding up prices of dilapidated 100 year old ammunition dumps and garment factory warehouses beyond 400,000. You know you have arrived when you see a vegan restaurant specializing in Eastern European cuisine housed in a 120 year old street house.
How easy it is to change the keyword "alexa"? Does it have a backup keyword?
The unix command line stream editor sed is as old as unix. It uses / as the delimiter to denote strings. But it is trivially easy to change the delimiter if your strings contain/. It does not use a backup delimiter to allow / because what if the string is going to have both / and the backup delimiter? It allows one to use ANY ASCII character as the delimiter. Unless your strings contain ALL the ASCII character you would be able to find a delimiter.
The older generation is used to radio and TV where you can not skip ads. Magazine ads are unobstrusive, there for you if you want to read it, but stay without causing irritation, subsidizing the cost of the magazine. The Radio/TV advertisers abused their captive audience so long we got used to it and developed our own defense mechanisms like scheduling the bathroom breaks or doing other small tasks.
Web browsing is completely different, we don't have to take that nonsense anymore and we dont. And the younger generation which has not grown used to advertiser abuse tolerate it even less.
No. Clinton was impeached on some flimsy pretext. What he lied about is not serious enough for impeachment. They can find something similar about Trump, if they want to.
Billions of liters of fuel used, each train saves thousands of liters. Unless Indian railways is running million rakes it might not make that big a dent.
But if this use of solar panels puts money in the pockets of solar panel makers and make them reduce their costs and eventually utility scale/grid scale solar power generation happens... then we are talking about something truly momentous.
Pharma has lots of incentive to have expiration dates, sooner the better. They are not going to let some univ prof making 100K a year threaten a 750 billion dollar market.
Expect FUD, calling the study "flawed" soon. There are a few in Pharma whose job it is to watch for such studies being done and squelch it before it hits the news. They are going to get severely castigated for this news story to develop this far ahead.
Use the bone cross section area, max allowable stress, impact load, weight of the animal, (do not use rare foot print and estimated stride length) come up with a model. Validate it with measured speed of elephants, rhinoceri and hippopotami adjust the fudge factors and tune the knobs.
I can "invest" in beany baby dolls or original content, it does not matter. The accounting laws are strict. The SEC disclosure is clear. You have state how much cash you spent on them. Then it is up to the management to convince, and the investors to agree, that the baseball cards, rental properties, mortgage backed securities or original content will produce positive cash flow at some point in the future.
He is doing his job convincing people there is value created in all those properties. As long as the investors buy that story, it is all hunky-dory.
If there is any truth to the claim, Japan must be the country with the highest incidence of heart diseases.
They assign young engineers to assist our team to do translation etc, and these guys show up 7:30 in the morning at the hotel room, stay with them till 10:30PM, and then show up fresh as a daisy next day morning 7:30. They seem to spend 12 hours a day at work.
Panasonic actually implemented a policy limiting its workers to 80 hours a week.
One possible conclusion could be Europeans are lazy and they get apoplectic shock if they are asked to work for more than 35 hours a week.
