The utilities really need to get on subsidizing charger installation, especially in places where they’re losing revenue to distributed solar. Night time charging would be an excellent way for utilities to recuperate revenue, and the installation of a 220V plug can be easy and cheap.

Couldn’t we start at insurance companies? AV tech will have to be safer than human in the loop before getting the green light.

You’re all wrong, it’s pronounced Zif.

I should have started calling his garage Fort Hood.

If it improves the overall safety on the roads, should it be held back because it isn’t a finished product? The first iteration of seat belts were not the ideal product, but they were better than nothing. I think there needs to be some third party investigation of the relative level of safety of operating in Autopilot…

I just modeled a 15 year mortgage vs a 30 year assuming that the balance (difference in payments) is invested. With a 3.125% and 3.375% rate (15 and 30, respectively), any return on investment greater than 6.45% makes a 30 year mortgage more favorable. Length of the loan isn’t everything.

“1 dead, another sustained hatchet wounds” sounds a lot different than “shooter dead, one victim seriously bruised by hatchet.” Both are accurate, one would trigger a lot more clicks.

Honey, at 82, sagging earlobes are the least of your worries!

One of the linked articles acknowledges that there is some research siting a link to between OCPs and breast cancer, but the researcher characterizes that research on the subject as inconsistent (I almost used the term “spotty,” but I figured that could be construed as an inappropriate pun given the subject matter).

Gladwell’s most recent book, What the Dog Saw, has a section about the development of the birth control pill that addresses the drop in cancer. I haven’t dug into the supporting material, which is important with anything from Gladwell, but it seems like periods naturally increase the rate of cell division as a woman’s…

That sounds like a solid sales pitch if I ever heard one.

We should have it in a country where the police execute ethnic minorities with relative impunity! No? We should hold it in the nation that imprisons the most people, both in absolute numbers as well as by rate? No. Should we hold it in a country where the political system is so far in bed with the industries it should…

Not 30% staff. 30% engineers.

Lily-white seems a little strong:

They’re already 60/40 in general (per the link below). The goal mentioned in the post above has to do with engineers specifically:
