Not too big to imagine, but the 2020 deadline seems waaaaaaaaaaay too quick for a ground-up car. Also, Apple has a business where it prints money, one that doesn't involve the complexity of car design and building.

Tesla was founded in 2003, produced the Roadster (kind of a Lotus car in a way) in 2008, then the Model S in 2012. So...9 years if you do a ground-up own designed car. Apple has more money than God, so you can accelerate that a bit, but still, crazyballs.

Cars have a lot more regulations to deal with, specifically safety. There's also all the CAR things like suspension, handling, steering, interiors, again safety, heating and cooling to deal with. Cars are vastly complicated things, and going from making phones and computers to cars is an insane leap. I know they have

I actually wouldn't mind an Apple TV about now. They can't possibly make it worse than all the other "Smart" TVs being sold right now. Can't find a damn normal 4K TV.

I call bullshit. Going from electronics to cars is a gigantic leap. I'm guessing they're just developing the infotainment software and 3D mapping.

So IndyCar totally missed the lesson F1 learned with all the flaps and winglets of the mid-2000s. Gobs of downforce and finely tuned airflow made passing impossible because all the turbulent air leaving the winglets and flaps of the leading car destroyed the delicate aero on the following car.

I think they surrendered to "our air quality is shit and our city is in gridlock traffic" there, not "ecomentalists."

Vox Media's political site has been a steaming pile of shit since they launched. They had success with SB Nation (good) and The Verge (tends to be good, but is run by smug ASSHOLES), and went all in with Vox. Since day one it's been sloppily written, and really no different from the fake 50/50, but ultimately

Holy shit.

IndyCar's failure to get races at COTA, Road America, and the Glen is annoying. Would also like to see Mont Tremblant and Montreal on the schedule, but what can you do.

Man, that IS bad. They really should've gone with the chicane solution instead.

In this case, it's psychopaths who think vaccines make kids autistic and/or gay.

That angle and angled stealth paintjob are not flattering, I'll say that much.

Even if they were deflated, the NFL would not allow such a media shitstorm to happen and will issue an all-clear by day's end. Let's be real here.

Destined to never get made, other than as a boring GM beigemobile that they'll say was inspired by this.

Well that escalated quickly.

And those losers in Interstellar had to go all the way out by Saturn to get to a wormhole.

If the Giants could've sealed the deal last week, the Cowboys would already be punting the season after this game. I mean, they'll probably be doing that anyways, but you know, would've been nice.

And the Giants wasted it anyways because of course. Oof.

Collecting pieces of my jaw off the floor right now.
