I still think the most notable thing about this story is that the owner of a New York City bookstore is married to a US Senator from Oregon. The last time this came up people said she's usually in the store when they visit.

Web 2.0 has been in use by a majority of people for maybe ten years now and the internet shows no signs of going away. To say that decentralization will never happen is nuts.

A 2 seater Tesla would sell very well. Tesla would make it cool. There are already multiple companies that have recently made very cool designs for 2 seater EVs but failed due to bad leadership and running out of funding. Unfortunately Elon

Because they feel they’re safer or cooler. Car companies are able to charge more for them so they’ve been pushing them in every way imaginable. Very weird that you didn’t know this.

That's an issue Tesla has, but I don't think that would at all explain a drop in Model 3 sales.

Do you seriously think most people who buy larger cars now actually need them? Of course not. People do cross comparisons and generally prefer the Model 3 for a variety of reasons. And it's cheaper.

With global warming it might actually be worth that.

The average person spends something like 35 hours a week watching TV and the average household spent $285 per month on media last year. Not spending a large amount of your income on a nice TV is kind of insane given that.

You can get a giant 4K TV for well under $1000. All of this moaning about not being able to tell the difference between 4K needs to die.

It’s not even remotely. It’s equivalent to 3 mbps. It’s not a technological limit. It’s only imposed to extract more money and discourage streaming. It sets the country back technologically. It also discourages content creators from jumping

I can’t imagine many people use Viasat to watch Netflix when satellite TV exists. Satellite based ISPs are the only ones with a legitimate reason to impose data caps.

With the amount of money Americans have spent on internet everyone could have 100 gigabit by now. The real question is how telcos have managed to spend all of their income. I know mine Frontier spends it all on interest payments for the ser

I remember never getting more than a fraction of the speed. Like maybe 200 mbps max on a 500 mbps connection when downloading a file. I assumed with the number of people with gigabit connections two years ago I’d have at least run into a fe

Verizon sold most of its landline business to Frontier over the past decade. While the few remaining Verizon FiOS customers got upgraded to gigabit, the Frontier FiOS customers were left with the old technology. Our Frontier contract just e

That completely contradicts my experience and everything else I've read from others. Less than 60 hz is generally annoying when trying to use a screen as a monitor because of cursor lag, but almost all video is at 30 fps or less so 30

Or it could be a push to give dealers something to do when everyone starts buying electric cars.

Definitely more power than a small factory. A six station supercharger could be pulling 500 kW. Up until 2012, demand charges from Souther California Edison kicked in at 20 kW at a rate of $17 per kW. One of the first 50 kW quick-chargers i

I was under the impressions that old disks generally fail by getting stuck. If they spin them up a few times a day that would seem to solve that problem. They could even have them just plugged in to power and laying in racks with custom fir

You're not understanding the point of the rebate. Part of the purpose of the rebate is to finance car companies selling viable electric cars so that they can later on down the road make more affordable cars.
