I doesn’t happen nearly enough to be worth the effort. Electricity is cheap, and these mobile services are only worth it if they can charge a premium. And they can only charge a premium when a car is literally stranded. And that happens inf

When my wife and I went to Italy on our honeymoon, and subsequently decided to use carbonated water as a way of dropping our coke addictions, the next few months felt like I was a drug fiend breaking an addiction. Vegetables tasted so good.

Exactly this. Hydrogen is like crypto. It has just enough interesting tech to attract (using D&D terminology here) high INT, low WIS people. Hydrogen will probably never work unless someone comes up with a stable molecule that includes

It would. Yet there is no promising tech in this field. Hydrogen is supported only to draw support away from EVs. If hydrogen becomes inexpensive to produce, it will by by way of solar power used to generate it. It will never be easy to sto

I think you have the right definition here. People aren't rational. They are rationalizers. Rational thinking is when you use facts and draw a conclusion. Rationalizing is when you have a conclusion, and you work backwards to justify i

Anger is the emotion we feel when we've run out of rational options. People only get angry when others disagree with them if they don't feel like they can argue their side. They might feel like they can't argue their side for

Question ... were they Reserved instances, or On Demand? IIRC, you still pay for Reserved instances, whether or not they're on.

Most things like this are organized by bad-faith actors that know that his skit wasn't hateful. The powers-that-be have learned how to create viral movements. They know how to get would-be-activists spun up until their brains turn off.

Django is the absolute worst. I just finished two projects with it. It's OO hell full of side effects. We are using feathersjs now, which solves most of the same problems Django did, but is easier to understand.

5. When unvaccinated people end up in the hospital, hospitals get stressed to their limits. This results in fewer beds for me and my family if we end up in a hospital for a different reason. This is also causing job burnout for nurses and d

It's almost like there is a lot of money devoted to making people think that this is a much larger problem than it is. People want you focused on a fake enemy, so you won't realize who is really trying to hurt you.

I find that playing music occupies the part of my brain that is easily distracted. This allows the productive part of my brain to work without distractions. Without music, the easily distracted part of my brain starts looking for distractio

Tesla monitors battery degradation based on miles driven. If you use your battery as a stationary power source, it messes up their ability to anticipate degradation. So it makes sense. This is, from the warranty's point of view, the sa

Not true. Reddit is not targeting silver. This is a widespread lie designed to drive up silver prices.

I feel like Tesla is sort of an opposite situation. These short-sellers that Reddit is going after, would swamp the media with FUD articles to drive Tesla stock down. They bet on Tesla to lose, and when Tesla didn't lose, they tried to

Incorrect. Republicans have successfully branded themselves as gun advocates, and Democrats as anti-gun. There are as many liberal gun owners as conservatives. Liberals just don't jerk off with their guns on social media.

The thing I like about Elon, is that when he is attacked for not being perfect, everyone goes back to this one thing that happened. If the worst thing you can bring up about him is that he called a rescue diver a pedophile this one time, he

I hate when corporations are like "how can we pretend to care without doing anything of substance". I know that some asshole with a fountain pen in a board room came up with this idea.

This is what, in marketing, is called "positioning". VW is trying to "position" their car as the default electric car, or at least, the only viable alternative to Tesla. If you don't set your own position, then your

This tends to work better with smaller companies. In my experience, in a small company, the CEO is still involved in the hiring process. If he's highly technical, he can conduct an interview, identify talent, and if it doesn't wor

In general, 4 years of school is worth 4 years of work experience. The problem being that, without 4 years of school, it's hard to convince anyone to hire you and get 4 years of decent work experience. Additionally, it's harder to

I don't think it's this black and white. First, I'm sure plenty of companies are basically stealing from their employees, but this is also situational. I answer emails and slack whenever I can. On the flip side, I get work fr

Which is kind of why he wants to go private. Because these rules are designed to prevent the behavior of corrupt CEOs, which he is not. Being public makes him richer, but ties his hands and prevents him from making certain decisions.
