You're being hysterical.

I agree that we should get more serious about tracking travelers from infected regions and enforcing quarantines. The answer isn't to invent a nonexistent pattern of official misinformation and then switch into pitchfork and torch mode.

As far as I can tell the central thesis in the "mpg vs. gpm" link is basically: "An increase of 5 mpg on a vehicle with base efficiency of 10 mpg makes a much larger difference in total fuel consumption than an increase in 5 mpg on a vehicle with base efficiency of 30 mpg--using the reciprocal mpg form masks this difference."

It took me awhile to understand this argument because I (like most people, I imagine) see the first case as a 50% increase in efficiency while the second case is a 17% (5/30 == 1/6th) increase in efficiency--so of course the first case leads to a much larger reduction in fuel efficiency.

and you seem to be so wise about energy issues, but you're not a greenie. Wow, the complete package. How much does your SUV weigh?

in California, I see on average one every few days in NYC. Tesla sales are very asymmetric, they have deep penetration in certain markets and almost none in others.

consumer reports broke the whole antenna-gate thing specifically so that noone would suspect that they were really paid Apple shills.

What's it like to be an idiot?

Burn.

Tesla cars are allowed on the roads in Iowa. Iowa will even register a Tesla car and issue you license plates, etc. They've passed every safety test & regulation that any other car has.

You just can't *buy* a Tesla car in Iowa because of dealer-sponsored 'franchise' laws. It seems pretty weird that those laws cover giving out test drives--I'm sure Tesla's lawyers will look into that.

OSX is my favorite, second to Linux. But honestly, it's isn't that close.

That's the whole point of Apple's walled garden and their policy on multi-tasking. Obviously Android has gone a different route and I can't fault them for doing so--but it isn't an unsolvable problem by any stretch of the imagination.

iPhone users, by and large, couldn't care less what kind of phone you use. The world needs more options and fewer snobs.

where do you think the money came from that they are using to buy stock back?

It has nothing to do with perfection at any level and never has in the history of mankind, ever.

Apple removed a sentence from their quarterly filings and obviously this is a sign of imminent fascist genocide.

Smart people are some of the stupidest people I've ever met.
