As a video editor that deals with terabytes of footage, in practice thunderbolt is much faster than USB3. It's common that i have to copy 1-4 terrabytes onto several drives for editors, fx artists, archival, etc usually on deadline. I

Why can't we condemn both? And as busy as that highway was in the video, it was far more than just 2 vehicles, especially if one of those vehicles was the 18 wheeler. At the very least they could have done this on a less busy stretch o

Your own biases are showing. Subsidies for renewables have a long way to go before they are even close to catching up to the amount we've given big oil over the last century. We're still giving billions of dollars in subsidies t

Over a hundred small towns enacted fracking bans, the oil industry sued to get the bans overturned. I'm sure there were towns that welcomed the oil industry (and NY operates much like "the two Maines"), but on this debate it

My brother is an exec for a large independent oil company heavily invested in fracking. I live in NYC. After having long conversations with him about his job, the company and the industry, I'm glad fracking in NY is banned for severa

Having worked in Advertising for the last 10 years including a tiny bit with Apple (freelancing) I have a hard time believing this was a 'PR hoax'. Advertising and PR at that level is extremely conservative and taking a risk like

I worked as an editor on overnight TV news broadcasts (for the early morning newscasts). Since most of the early news was a recast of the previous night I typically only had about an hour or two of work. That left 6-7 hours of watching tv

You're aiming to high when you reference The Naked gun, Beverly Hills Cop and Bill & Ted. This film references the lower budget fare more than the popular big budget films. Don't think of the films you'd see of the cine

I'm personally not a fan of Carolina BBQ so I can't recommend any place for that, but for my money Mighty Quinn's is the best BBQ I've tasted in NYC (born and raised in OK, spent a lot of time in Texas and lived in Tenne

You really don't get a good idea about any of those professions through the media. Watching C-SPAN or even the West Wing only gives you a minute glimpse. Same with actors (most of the actors time on set is spent waiting or doing noth

It is true, as Tesla's primary business is selling their cars directly to consumers which Michigan has banned.

Tesla's primary business is selling the cars they build directly to consumers and Michigan has barred Tesla from doing that. To do business in Michigan would force Tesla to change their primary business model.

Tesla is barred from selling cars in Michigan. They are not barred from allowing someone else to sell their cars in Michigan.

Wonder if there is a move here where Tesla threatens to move Tesla Tool and Die out of Michigan. Not sure if Riviera is big enough for that threat to be viable, and also doesn't seem like a move Elon would make. (Just thinking out lo

Nope, it's an inefficient real estate market with an affinity for bait and switch plus hidden points of entry. I don't like the NYC real estate market, personally it's the reason I'm most likely to leave. But I've

If your only avenue to finding an apartment is Craigslist, then most likely. But once you've lived in NYC for a while and have a group of friends who've lived there a while, it's not difficult to find good deals (especially

I lived on 37th and 10th for a while (working about 10 blocks south). You don't have to live a block from your office to make it enjoyable. A 15-20 min walk is more enjoyable than a 20min (more likely 40min) subway trip. While it obv

This needs to start long before high school (much of a person's personality, including how they view money, is already locked in by that point). Personally I believe elementary is the place to start education about essential life skill
