So, instead imagine he is using a fake disabled placard to park. Disabled spots often sit empty. Dick move or not?

There’s nothing the US CAN do for the semiconductor shortage. There’s simply not capacity. They can throw all the billions they want at companies in the US to ‘expand capacity’ but that will take years. AMD/IBM/GloFo sold off most of their US fabs, Intel is busy pumping out their own stuff and don’t really take…

Re EV charging: I think the business model will bifurcate into two: 

Agreed. The corporate overhead for those companies is insane.

No, because that’s not what a taxi company is. Taxi companies are usually fleet based or utilize medallion systems which allow exploitation that’s generally even worse than Uber.

Was totally expecting a slideshow but clicked anyway because I was interested. Pleasantly surprised, thank you. 

I shall fetch a microscope to check.

I’m sure this news must’ve given Elon Musk a raging boner.

Agreed but it was an interesting video. When I worked at McAfee, my Model X was used by our Advanced Threat Team to see if we could hack the AP1 camera (MobileEye) to misread speed limit signs and were successful (Researchers trick Tesla into massively breaking the speed limit by sticking a 2-inch piece of electrical…

I’m going to preface this with: I’m not a Tesla owner or a fanboy.

That looks like the icon of a new Olympic event . . . in a dystopian future.

Ahh, the Saturday morning classic...

Am I the only one excited about the chip shortage now? What special parts used in automatic transmissions can we start a shortage in? How about drive by wire steering? Would it be so bad if a shortage caused all cards to be sweet sweet analog deliciousness?

... and I needed a new heel for my shoe, so I decided to go to Morganville which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So, I tied an onion to my belt which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel. And in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on ‘em.
