Also, ask for the new, interesting work, make designs, talk to others about your ideas - don't just show up with a complex multi week/month solution. I've never understood why more people don't ask for the interesting, f

I suppose claiming ESP is real is like claiming cold fusion is real. You better have some damn good proof because there have been a lot of shoddy claims that didn't hold up in practice. So has this been replicated by outsiders based on

Yeah, how can you do anything just that little amount? /s The could give their shareholders billions and still have plenty left over to do anything.

Correct. They have gotten worse though. And even if you believe nothing changed, it's terrible and we need to stop it.

You are wrong about them being limited to right at the border. There are many border patrol stops way north of the border, south of Tucson, all areas around Tucson. These are at the least dozens of miles from the border.

Man, I sure loved _Heavy_Metal_ when I was a teenager. Sex, drugs, rock and roll, fed all my nerdy escapist fantasies. And you know that first scene, when the scientist comes out of the space shuttle in a corvette and flys down to the groun

You are arguing that we should just hire anyone regardless of tech skills if they can carry on a conversation? It takes years to do learn how to do actual complicated programming. I think we need to screen for both tech skills and soft&#x2F

Somehow won't back page correctly in Chrome. Please just turn that off, whatever it is. I don't think anyone wants fancy history munging web pages.

Amazing couple. Hard to believe they'll ever get off the ground. Musk has a real chance to make it happen.

I strongly disagree with your statement. Many people in India and China would be happy to have cleaner skies. Especially in China, they know that they have too many polluting factories, and their economy has gotten to the point that they ca

It's DNA, not DNS. Yes, this is terrible. I'm sure the police would be happy to get the DNA of everyone.

Mel Brooks is probably our greatest American comedy director and writer, at least in the second half of the 20th century he's in the top handful. Who comes to mind, Blake Edwards?

Wow, there's an amazing amount of down voting in this article. Is that because people hate tesla? I don't get it. I once bought an suv. It had a problem soon after I bought it and got service for a while and i didn't have a c

What libertine thing are you referring to? Equal rights for gay people, women making the same wages as men for equivalent work? I'm from a southern state, and I hear a lot of grousing about uppity women and black folks (and people don&

I didn't think the article was so scathing. It was very inside baseball from my software engineer basis, hard to understand what he was getting at. On the other hand, the article about axovant (the $5mil cast off drug they spun into a

You can opt out of them storing data about you. Even if you are the only car at a supercharger, it slows down the rate as your battery fills to protect it. It charges as max power (120kwh) when your battery is pretty low. However, the net e

One big reason is people want their original battery back after swapping. We have all been trained that we are taking care of our batteries on phones or AA at home. The tesla should take care of batteries and they are basically swappable wi

It's still free if you bought yours. They will keep this lifetime free thing going if you buy before January 15th. Only 2 more days! Mine is free forever. They just keep adding cool stuff making me wanting to buy a new one.

This post is misleading or just wrong. Perhaps the author is stuck on the word "predicting" as in I figured out soon there will be an accident using magical AI techniques. As the author says, the tesla saw 2 cars (things) in front

Computer searching has already removed the need for the huge historical cases where a large group of lawyers and pa's would search through old emails and docs to see if they could find something about a big case. Now that's genera

The reason why this doesn't work is that we have to pay for the services that help all of society. Fireman, police, roads, electricity, making sure that the food we eat is basically healthy. You could argue that "you" are a s

Rent is said to be divorced from work for the wealthy people who did nothing and inherited their large dowry, buildings and land owned. The wealthy inherited person receives income without doing any "work". Sure, it's difficu

The simple answer is this worry is very founded because of the people he nominates and the statements he has made about how the govt should have access to cell phones. Yes, HRC made some stupid plans of her own. Trump is worse.

Yeah, but how much work can you get out of a dog, even in a private office.

he broke the law, but he didn't bring the classified info to those governments. by all accounts he has shielded that info from them, that he did share with journalists. I can't understand why you make these mis-statements.

Police shouldn't be able to shoot someone merely because they "felt threatened" (as shooting someone in the back who wasn't armed who was running away), or if someone backs their car into a police car. The problem with t

Contrast this with say Japan, where people kill themselves and suicide doesn't have quite the cultural stigma that it does in the US. They also have less individualism, more collectivism. Yet people kill themselves there too.

Thanks for listing your stock compensation. We need this to be able to compare jobs across companies, it's an excellent signal of your openness.

I want to block my young teen-aged son from hacking into his time-locked win 7 (soon win 10). He already searched the web and found some kind of system restore scheme to reset his password. Next step was to encrypt the hard drive to block r
