Buyers won’t gravitate towards EVs if a suitable charging infrastructure isn’t in place, but there is no incentive to build a charging infrastructure unless people are buying EVs. It’s a chicken/egg problem. To promote EVs, the government could either incentivize building EV charging stations for cars that nobody was…

It sounds like he was also working under contract to the city council. It may sound appealing to go ‘fuck it’ and walk away, but when you’re relied upon to provide a service and employ so many people, it’s considered good form to provide notice that service may be disrupted and contracts broken. Was the company in…

Yeah, it looks pretty bad. From the CBC homepage:

I just hope this meaningless move doesn’t open the door for the FCC to sell off the wireless bands set aside for V2V communication. It might be easy to reinstate the mandate once an administration that’s actually interested in administrating is back in charge, but if cell phones are suddenly using the 5.8-5.9 GHz…

My car has the port in the front fender and I really wish it was on the back of the car. The battery is even under the cargo floor (Ford C-Max) so why waste the wire to move the port to the front!

Electric motor sounds are generally louder the faster they spin and the more load that is placed on them, but electric cars need to be more audible at lower speeds (e.g. parking lots) where the motors won’t make much noise. Also, most electric motors will be buried deep within the engine bay of a car surrounded by…

Not too keen on the singing, but it would be nice to have some noise at parking lot speeds. I recently bought a plug-in hybrid and just yesterday I almost hit a pedestrian that stepped out from between two parked cars without even glancing in my direction. Once the car is up to speed the wheels provide enough road…

Does Manafort only own a single property or does he hold property around the world? It might be easier to buy multiple vehicles so that you have a fleet at your other houses rather than parking 4 Range Rovers at a single estate.

Buttery males?

BMW really captured lightning in a bottle with the E39/E46 design. I don’t think there’s another car that seems as modern regardless of its age.

I think the character artists forgot about him a long time ago.

Jason, I just have to say thank you for providing these in-depth articles about the game development industry. As a gamer it can be disappointing to see promising projects killed, but articles like this just reinforce the fact that these are businesses that need to make smart decisions with money to continue existing.…

If you work in a creative field long enough, you’ll probably encounter a project has completely gone off the rails and should be cancelled. Sometimes a project just gets completely mired by focusing on the minutiae while failing to nail down a grand vision that there’s no way to move forward. I’m involved in such a…

What, your ideal Star Wars team doesn’t feature the Manatee, Khal Drogo, the Fairy Princess, the Rebel Cosplayer, and Broomhilda the Witch?

What’s the over/under on a mysterious technical glitch taking 2 of their cars out of contention, their 3rd suffers a crash at the hands of a GTE Am Ferrari, and privateers filling the podium?

If someone can perform the job as described on their employment contract in 6 hours, do you call them lazy for not performing 2 extra hours of labor per day because they’re paid for 8? What if their workload is doubled and they now have 12 hours of work per day. Do you call them lazy for only working for 10 while…

Why is performing the job one was hired to do now considered lazy?

Let’s place the blame where it really belongs: Hermann Tilke. What other course designer would take a long, sweeping corner like that and just randomly square it off into a half-octagon where a driver could be forced off mid-turn?

“At Will” states can fire people because the boss doesn’t like their tie. “Right to Work” states make union membership and dues voluntary while still forcing the union to negotiate for non-paying non-members.
