Why do you think the propellors aren’t independent? To me there appears to be a distinct electric motor for each.

To adapt an old aviation saying, that sequence would then be “Stall, spin, crash...uh...sink, drown.” No, flying at high speeds over water has far more downside than upside.

This is still a worthy project. Uber says “Your 175 data points don’t prove this is happening.” Their implication is that it is NOT happening. If Jalopnik then finds a thousand cases where it IS happening the conversation continues and gets a lot more interesting, while Uber’s claims - without supporting data -  get a…

Kristen Lee you are a magnificent, magnificent artist.

There was an inetrim step.First, no movement. Most recently, could move along the line, side to side. Now, as of 1 June, can take one step forward with other foot on line. Problem is this tournament began two years ago, with different rules and application than we’re seeing in these Finals. FIFA could have tried to…

In 25 years I expect gasoline will cost $30 a gallon, almost all of it taxes to discourage its use. Figure that into your future budget.

Kristen, if you are talking about online dating you ARE talking about height.

Third reason: how to make it more cheaply.

Holden, sure, but no mention?

On very, very flat land. Hard to judge size but I don’t think those tracks can climb anything higher than a couple of Legos stuck together.

That’s NOT what I wrote. I included the words “prior to becoming profitable.” Alibaba was profitable in 3 years, and it’s not at all clear their losses approached anything like Uber’s. 

Tesla also OWNS things, after a tenth as many losses as Uber. Uber’s software has already been duplicated by Lyft, among others - it’s useful, but not that special. Uber’s got a nice brand and that’s about it. I think people would abandon it in an afternoon if ride prices were rationalized.

I’m curious, what’s the list of other companies that lost $8B before they went public prior to becoming profitable?

Your estimate of spending on education is grossly wrong. It’s about 3% of total federal spending, about 6% of discretionary spending.

Winter IS coming.

But some people have to have an Expedition because something about drywall.

I just want to know if each Volvo comes with its own Onboard Journalist who flies a drone around the car at sunset while you’re blasting off from a stoplight or twisting through the corners?

I said DRIVES! :)

Look at what Torch drives: a VW Beetle, Scion xB, and a Nissan Pao. He likes the language. I don’t.
