I picked 200km/2.5 hour as a halfway point where you don’t want to end up at your destination without much gas/charge left.

The longer range Model 3 (55000 CAD with 14000 rebate if you like in Ontario) is rated at ~500km. It gets less than this theoretical maximum, but I am pretty sure it could make 400km... and you…

You forget that electric cars pretty much always startoff the day with a “full tank”. For 90% of people they simple never go to a pump period. If you are at a supercharging station you have just driven around 2.5-3 hours. At that point I think most people could use a 15-30 min break.

Ads are necessary - the tracking, especially the covert, hidden tracking, should stop. Different things.

Wait... you literally work for the company that you consider part of the problem and you visit ad-supported websites. You can chose stop doing bother of those things (quit the industry you are in, only go to websites with a paywall). Or was your suggestion of “A) quit, or B) hmm...think of some[thing] better.”only…

A quick check on Gizmodo shows 26 trackers... not just user facing companies like Amazon, Facebook, or Google... but companies such as Exelate whose sole purpose to to track users and sell that information to advertisers, Krux Digita a company that tries to track users across platforms (laptop, mobile, app), and…

If it feels great and you like it, sure buy it... but don’t pretend that you are doing it for the environment per se.

If you want to read some craziness. Google “Rwanda plastic bag ban” and you will see that people thereare so desperate for plastic bags that it is not uncommon for them to be smuggled across the border. Food merchants risk fines to use them because they know that customer still prefer plastic bags and will favor…

Hindsight is 20/20 and maybe he didn’t have malicious intent, it all just unfolded a certain way.

Levandowski was banking on the fact that Google is in general not a vindictive (in comparison when Microsoft sued Google for hiring Kai-Fu Lee, or HP suing Oracle for hiring Mark Hurd), paranoid (Google doesn’t automatically do a big forensic investigation into every person who leaves to see if they stole IP.

I think he and Uber believed/hoped that Google wouldn’t realize it until a few years later after Uber had already established itself as the producer of dominant self-driving cars (potentially a trillion dollar market).

By then the paper trail would be years old and Google would look like as has-been trying to undercut…

Still, he ended up on the board somehow. Just owning stock means you get a board seat automatically? I don’t think that’s how it usually works... *shrug*

I think you are slightly intermixing what I believe and that with the author of the article (Beth Elderkin) believes.

I understand your complaints that some passage are taken out of context and her criticisms are effectively interpreting the story in a way that it wasn’t explicit written.

I’m paging through the novel via 8novels.net (to make it searchable). I re-read the initial “playful” chat they had in Chapter 17. I see your point, but I can also see how this chat might also look like a celebrity trying to “calm” down an overly infatuated fan. We give Wade the benefit of the doubt because he is the…

As you said, I think we just have different opinions on relationships and love (which is totally normal). Each of us (or at least I am a bit), are projecting those opinions into what wasn’t explicitly covered in book (i.e. Art3mis’s POV of the situation). For instance, the last passage you quoted is completely from…

Where he only had her personality to go off of.

You are certainly welcome to your interpretation of the book and how relationships grow “in between the pages.”

He knows her very well, for months they have been on quite an epic adventure

The author is referring to the first time they meet in person. It’s on the last page of the book.

Now when you were young, your first love/crush.. did you not think straight away you wanted to spend the rest of your life with them? If not, sorry about that.

I noticed that you didn’t address the real reason why Artemis didn’t want to meet Wade, and it has nothing to do with the contest or his advances. It was how self-conscious she was about her IRL appearance. So making it seem like Wade stalked her into submission, is not entirely accurate.
