TURBINE POWER!
WHAT IS IN THE CASE?
A car with a thorium reactor would be capable of this sort of thing... AND powering your house when you are home.
I guess my perspective is that it has been proven that making more money has drastically diminishing returns on happiness. There's really no practical reason why a person would need more than $500,000 per year to live. At that rate you'd be a millionaire in no time. All paying multiple millions per year does is…
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…

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.
