I'd rather have a company full of highly paid talented individuals than one talented individual with obscenely high pay and a slew of mindless minions.

Neutral: No CEO is worth even "just" 100x the minimum wage at his company. I think CEO pay should be capped at 20x the lowest wage at any given company. If companies want to add compensation above that, there should be a system where CEOs are allowed to sell certain amounts of stock with a 10-20 year waiting period…

I paid 19k for my Sonata. I've gotten 45mpg on the highway with careful driving.
Amazon basics cables are basically the same thing at the same or better price.
This kind of tech becomes obsolete in the phone/tablet world every 2 years or so. It is idiotic to hard-wire it into a device that is designed to last more than 10 years.
The Williams is a beaut, too. Especially in its Jerez livery.
Here's something from a Mercedes engineer (google translated from German):
[The wastegate valve] is an insurance in case something goes wrong. Normally, the turbo speed is controlled by the electric machine, but also because it can sometimes cause failures. What do we do then? Since the pressure on the wastegate valve…
My hovercraft is full of eels.
I drove one as a mechanic's loaner vehicle. Holy crap. 0-30mph was like being shot off the deck of an aircraft carrier. For being so heavy, it cornered like a cheetah.

I think you are right.
And that is where the variable impeller geometry comes in. That makes sense.
As toplessFC3Sman pointed out, there doesn't seem to be one pictured. We think the jalp article is incorrect in stating that there is one. None of the articles I've seen regarding 2014 powertrains mention wastegates.
I think these turbo setups are unique. The compressor and turbine are not mechanically linked by a rotating hub as in practically every other turbocharged engine configuration. There can be constant drag on the turbine impeller, while boost is variable as it is driven by the MGU-H on-demand. The engine doesn't need…
I was under the impression that the MGU-H would eliminate the need for a waste gate. It can turn excess rotational energy into electricity. Being an electric motor/generator, it can pretty much increase its load to its maximum limit in an instant.
It's not ugly... just utterly bland from the refusal to take any risk or make bold strokes. The goal was to make it completely unoffensive. By doing so they've come up with narcolepsy-inducing, generic representations of cars like you would find in 50 cent hotwheels knockoffs.
Who's editing THIS place?
As long as the chicanery doesn't involve Newey, I'm pretty sure anything in the off-season will result in that.
The Lamborghini LM002 most took me by surprise:
