I save these kinds of movies for when I feel bored and don’t mind killing a few hours. I greatly appreciate a quality film from writing or technical perspectives that stand out as their own unique thing. This kind of stuff has a place for when you want to have a laugh with friends. So I ignore them until that boredom…

If there is one genre that I enjoy getting the Michael Bay treatment, its the underground automotive racing one. 

The words “hands-free” show up 7x in this article, and a picture of someone not holding the wheel, where is the outrage?

There is so much confusion between using traffic stops as a way to do a warrant free search of a ‘suspicious person’ in the most stressful way possible (cops have no idea who they are searching, so extremely high tensions), and making sure people drive safely.

The single dose J&J vaccine just got put on hold, so I think the government is aware

Throw up a bunch of solar panels and charging stations and now you have pretty self sufficient stops. Getting fuel out to those remote places requires pipes or trucks to get there, but solar just takes it from the sky above. Right now those places are not EV friendly, but they dont have to be that way. 

If there was a much larger pool that was shared we might have seen models like the ID3, XC40 EV and Mach-E come out sooner. It also lets cross shopping work in a much more obvious way, why should one brand be price competitive over another just because they were slower.

The policy was very dumb for also doing it as a per-manufacturer credit limit, and allowing a hybrid to use the same credit as a full EV.

Agreed about wheel to wheel racing. F1 cars are too fragile and dangerous for good passing attempts. You really only pass because of DRS or someone fails at braking and locks up hopefully not ending your race in the process. Or someone gets pushed wide and cant push back, and that really feels stupid.

Somehow all of these issues have made me trust Tesla more with EVs, as at least by now they have lots of experience in making and diagnosing them.

Merc definitely prefers Bottas to Rosberg for that #2 seat. If Bottas just got a little faster and more competitive they might start losing both cars before turn 1 again.

Not really, its just recognizing patterns, the same way we can recognize sarcasm by tone shifts. When people are being aggressive they are louder, and the words they really want to drive home are spoken clearer and slower than the rest. 

If we really want to get into what AI learning is about, why not have it figure out when speech has hate intended, instead of focusing on the words used and blaming the words themselves.

rely on a bailout

but by then you’re going to spend another 4 million dollars to bring more parts in. You’re never going to get that $4 mill back

There is a cost to planning, resources spent reviewing supply chains and space required for stockpiling. Many companies will give up any of that in a few years when they forget why they did it and just focus on shaving costs to raise the stock price another penny so their bonus gets bigger.

You seem to be held up on the example and not the concept.

Yeah, first time I heard that there are 1000 tires used in a single weekend I laughed, got my phone out, then cried.

The smallest form factor PCs are ones where components are combined in the design process, soldered on board, and remove their modular capabilities. Those could be consoles or something like a NUC and even smaller like handheld Switchs but with Win10 and x86 APUs for over $1000. If you want every component to be…
