Thank you for writing that. It is very well stated.

Of course, but Chademo isn't designed for a Model S, it's designed for more affordable cars with smaller capacity batteries. The market requirement for both a Leaf and Model S DC fast-charge is the same: charge to roughly 80% c

Chademo charges a Leaf (or similar class car) to 80% in around the same time as SuperCharger does for a Tesla Model S, doesn't it?

> Also there is no currently deployed charging standard that comes closer to SuperCharger. Chademo is 60kW spec but usually 40 or 50 depending on how downrated the charger has been. I've never seen less than 118kW on a Supercharger

Did you have any licensed IP, and if so, how did you deal with that during the hibernation period?

But aren't criminal acts (i.e., criminal negligence) committed by the insured not covered by insurance? As far as the comparison to cars, we require insurance for cars operated on public roads . Also with cars, the morbidity and mor

I don't understand these sorts of proposals: what are you insuring?

I think it would be instructive if you spoke on needing to keep a bound book, dealing with inspections, and the time/money cost of attaining and maintaining your FFL.

I suppose it depends on your perspective. To some, passing laws with an overt goal of "making people safer" (but not actually doing so), with the covert goal of regulating a product out of existence, is a wanton act against our d

There is an effective ban on selling any new pistol designs in CA due to a dubious microstamping requirement. Manufacturers are unable to change their current designs that are on the roster (even color!) without triggering a recertification

My first thought is a reporting issue. Look at New York and the neighboring states for example: it is hard to believe that drug overdose deaths are so thoughtful that they respect a state border.

I thought Tesla sent out letters to people using Superchargers for daily charging, clarifying that they were intended for long-distance travel.

I think it's time for pg to review the idea that there should be only one SV. Having only one startup center in the country contributes to limiting social mobility (how many can afford to move to and live in SV; amazingly, some don&#x2

Are you taking advantage of your college alumni association? They may have a job board or career counseling; related, you may want to find an alumni meetup in Chicago for networking. The alumni angle can be surprisingly effective.

de gustibus non est disputandum I can understand why you feel it is a hideous vehicle, it's certainly not traditionally styled. I think there's a lot more to the design of a car than the curb appeal, for lack of a better term,

To be fair, the picture you've linked is a concept version, and is taken from an odd angle. Regardless, the i3 does not photograph well. The interior is indeed nice, and overall, the car is thoughtfully designed. In terms of engineerin

It reminds me of the halogen infrared (HIR) bulbs used for automotive lighting. I'm not clear on what advantage a theoretical mass-produced photonic crystal bulb would offer for this application that HIR does not. Any thoughts?

Sorry I can't offer anything more specific and actionable; I guess comparing Rust to a fine wine, something that must be aged to reach full potential, will have to do :)

Fortunately, that specific hype train appears to have left the station. The worst for me at the peak were nanotechnology articles where the structure in question was somewhere in the submicron (or rarely, micron!) range.

There's also the Seek Thermal cameras: http://www.thermal.com/thermal-cameras/ I have one of the Compact model, and I think it's paid for itself with a few repair jobs around the house.

This community seems to have its own definition for a lot of words, startup included. Nothing wrong with that, so long as one recognizes that. The trouble for me tends to be when the wider press gets involved, and it isn't clear if the
