So do they manage to do this without increasing rolling resistance to the cars? If the road deforms more than typical asphalt, they really wouldn’t be capturing lost energy as much as taking energy from people’s cars (which aren’t exactly thermodynamically efficient to begin with)

I generally don’t believe in buying a car for a new driver ... but if this were my daughter, she’d be getting a car when the time comes.

I would like to think I was a bad ass at 12, but Maddie has taught me I was not.

Wow. F**k this guy. Carjacking motherf**ker.

I’m in total agreement with the first part of your comment. But this part:
“People will just drive a little less.”

I know this post is not at all serious, but seriously, get yourself 1Password for your computer and phone. It’s a password utility that stores all your passwords, integrates with your browser, and generates strong passwords. It syncs across devices, so you never have to remember a password again.

well that may be the only option worse than breaking this mans face to get him off the plane. how about they

Good to see I’m not the only one that knows this.

It is what 75% of the value of stocks is traded on: the potential future earnings (the present value of the 5 yr + steady growth rate for free cash flow in the Discounted Cash Flow model). The problem is Silicon Valley companies with no profits or clean comparables makes extrapolating free cash flows dicey. Tesla’s…

I’m pretty sure this is an ordinary parlor trick. It’s not like there’s an exercise that will strengthen your ball skin. It’s just simple physics. I’ll prove it to you by going out and doing it right now. I’ll report back later.

It’s bizzaro world on Wall Street! The more tangible product you have, the less you’re worth!

How fucking hard is it to read through the very first provided link to see the accumulated proof and dozens of people discussing the problem? It takes literally 30 seconds to click, read the first post, oh shit what’s this, it’s a link to proof! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/132087722?t=11m45s

I’ve always wondered about that too. Right now it’s at ~8% (34 people) NP... I think about 3 of those people actually like this thing and would consider paying $20 gees for it. The remaining 31ish people are just stupid trolls and/or sub-15 year olds with nothing better to do.
