I think the problem we have is with planning. We are bad at thinking.

I cover all that in the article I link to in my sentence that you quoted.

If the PowerPC name sounds familiar, it’s probably because those are the RISC CPUs Apple used in its computers before switching to Intel. (Although now the company is back on the RISC train with its homegrown M1 processor.)

55kW charging is an issue for road trips, but for most people with charging at home it’s not really an issue 350 days of the year. It will still make an excellent commuter car with very low running costs, that is pretty comfortable.

Look, when you’re born with a name like Howdy Ledbetter some things are just out of your control. The man was probably chopping and dropping his Kozy Koupe before he was even potty trained. He only knows one way to be, cut the man a break.

How is a Neon ugly? It’s a happy-faced small sedan form the 00's with a cheap interior.

Yeah, well *my* garage organization plan has missed its original time target and is now approaching 2190 days past due. At this point, a small fire would be welcome..

Me, to my wife:

The design team

Actually the cameras that did this descent video were COTS FLIR industrial cameras, and the 30gb video was put onto non-hardened storage. So they used your basic off the shelf image sensor and put it on your basic, off the shelf storage device (probably an SSD).

I also feel that they were running out of ideas. Some of the stuff near the end seemed quite a stretch or really obscure for a myth.

2nd gear: minivan life is glorious, and I feel sorry for all the families missing out. A typical 2-3 row midsize mainstream crossover is no more fun to drive and much less practical. The only thing I don’t like about our Sienna is the poorer NVH compared to our old Lincoln MKX. Hoping a couple hundred dollars of…

I may be part of the problem. I’m a dad with a van, and I love my van and don’t give a shit how people see me. I’ve leaned into dad mode full tilt. Crocs with socks, yeah thats me. Diaper bag hanging off my shoulders? Did that too when me kids were little wee ones. You could put sliding doors on a Tahoe, it could just…

He has some insecurity issues.  

Neutral: This week sucked. I didn’t have power for the past four days. I was fairly prepared, but there still wasn’t much we could do to help anyone else.

Uber and Lyft should just switch to a SaaS model. Then, all they would do is charge a flat monthly fee to license the platform. The drivers would be able to set their own fares and keep everything minus the monthly flat fee to use the platform.

2nd: Minivans are fantastic vehicles for families, and are better than SUVs by almost every imaginable measure. I’ll never understand people’s aversion to them. If you need something to haul kids and stuff, there really isn’t anything better. 

THIS IS THE POINT!
Anyone who wants to argue that gig work was never supposed to be equivalent to full time work had better be ready to equally argue that these were never meant to be Fortune 500, billions-dolllars-of-quarterly-gross-revenue companies either. But what they were supposedly meant to be is irrelevant,…

As for your point, they don’t HAVE TO. Are you trying to tell me that people driving for Uber/Lyft are doing it because there is no other opportunity out there?

These apps literally would not work under the model you propose. There would NEVER be enough people to accommodate the demand they see. Hence why their attempts to revolutionize the taxi business has ended up with them simply creating a unregulated sub-minimum wage taxi service.
