Um, no — actually the literature specifically says that case like “infant with heart defects” is a legitimate reason to avoid *any* not-immediately-necessary medical treatment. Yes, it doesn’t mean that it should be held off indefinitely, but common practice for this and other situations is to give the body some time,…

I agree there will be challenges, but I think they’re not as insurmountable as you list (I write code for software and hardware for a living, although I have not worked on autonomous cars).

(As with what others are saying, this is only according to Tesla, but) — the current specs say the truck can get a 400-mile charge in 30 minutes (which they contrast to a 15-minute diesel fill-up). I have no knowledge how accurate that statement will be, but at least on the surface it seems extremely reasonable.

Wow. Normally I read through the comments and think, “well, that’s an interesting opinion,” or “okay, yeah, that person and I certainly come from different backgrounds!” This time ... I suspect you are made of entirely anti-me, and if we ever high-fived, we’d explode in an enormous fireball.

For us, it made a huge difference to switch to streaming — we had the “note quite base” DirectTV package, and it was costing $108 per month, without any premium channels included. This is because above the base items they list when you price compare, they add:

Actually, all the current systems (Apple Pay, Android Pay, etc.) are standardized, and don’t require anything from the marketplace. They all use tokenized NFC payments, and from a terminal standpoint, it’s the same as accepting the “PayPass” MasterCard, or similar payments. It’s one of the reasons that people made…

That’s ... not entirely true. The fluoride type elements you get in things like municipal tap water are a different beast than rinsing a relatively strong percentage around your mouth for 30 seconds. One is there to provide slow, overall enamel strengthening, while the other is an active, “kill the bits that the…

I’ve been a game (and in recent times, app) developer for many years now, and I can tell you that it’s an incredibly difficult balancing act.

Keep in mind that 4 incandescent bulbs is a small fraction of your overall bill: will standard usage, those four incandescent bulbs might use $12 to $16 per year, or maybe around $1 per month. You've probably cut their energy usage down by 2/3, so the four new bulbs might use 30 cents per month. The 70-ish cents…

I noticed the 10,000 hour listed life, and was somewhat surprised — most of the ones out there are more like 22,000 hours, from what I've seen. Any idea *why* the lifetime is lower? (Not sure why I expect you to know things like that, no.)

Okay, I know this is a sponsored post, but ... "I avoided the dreaded airport bathrooms by using the airplane bathroom before landing!" said nobody, ever. Also? I avoided the Chicken Pox by dying of dysentery first!

I think maybe you meant to respond to someone else? Otherwise, um, good? Or something? :)

I try my best to always keep this in mind when I'm talking to a rep on the phone, or standing at an airline counter, or whatever. The problem is that while I know it's not the fault of the employees standing there, the actual people responsible at the company have made themselves *incredibly* difficult to complain to…

Hi, Shane!

Hi, Shane!

We took advantage of one of these just the other day (after dithering between going 4k for a 55-inch screen, and getting a better-quality but only 1080p screen for now, and upgrading in a few years). The prices (and of course free delivery) are pretty darn good ... one additional thing to note is that you aren't…
