from the linked article at engineering.com:
"Musk said that the factory would be aligned with true north so equipment could be located with GPS
Can anyone here make sense of that statement? GPS only works when buildings are aligned with true north?
Will it have a dbus interface, and run as PID 1?
ZMapp is produced by a private firm. By effectively socializing its production, Obama can say "they didn't build that".
I still own a 'scientific' calculator that I bought in 1983, and it took me all the way up through Physics, Statics, Dynamics and Thermodynamics courses in a rather fine Engineering college. What do these fancy graphing calculators offer that paper and pencil + a decent scientific calculator can't ?
First articles here, then a new policy on Fark, and now yet another story about misogyny. It's a constant, subtle pressure in the background for Millenials that women are oppressed... so they'll march right to the polls in 2016. Just like if you opposed Barack Obama you were automatically a racist, by 2016 if you have any objections to Hillary Clinton, you'll be shouted and blogged down as a misogynist.
Like a kid asking for just 5 more minutes of TV time, or a 20 year long constant nagging for socialized medicine, eventually you chip away at the resolve of the unaware and get what you want.
from the summary:
"...as reported by the L.A. Times, is that recent electric car sales in the U.S. have been stagnant"
from the LA Times:
"Sales of electric drive vehicles are stuck at about 3.6% of all new car sales for 2014"
"And that's during an otherwise robust sales season. Total figures for August were higher than any time in the last decade."
So the absolute number of electric car sales is increasing but their market share is not. The reporter, one "Charles Fleming," seems not to comprehend that a fixed percentage of an increasing value is itself an increasing value. "Stagnant," is the wrong term to describe an increase in sales. Math is hard.

Buy Gigabyte, their shit is rock solid.
They burn something like 99% of their takeoff weight just to get to orbit. Their biggest cargo is their own fuel.
Where's the research on mass drivers/railguns, or tethers, or any of the "scifi" types of propulsion?
Over in 1. Was going to post the same thing.
PS Redhat, you're not a desktop OS, you don't need hotplugging automounting USB webcams or eleventy config files and a giant daemon to start things, you need them to be stable and simple and manageable.

Oh, you said BALOG...
It's not a bad idea, provided that there's no concept of a conversation. There's no negotiating or acknowledgement that needs to happen, simply a car announcing what it's doing.
Baking in more than this to the spec or implementation will only fuck it up.
Everyone immediately disables SELinux, and people need to reinvent how they manage the system, all for no real return, unless you're one of the
Climate has always changed, the concept of "Damage" is only relevant to those affected by it. But lets pretend that they're the same thing, because it will gather more clicks.
Living on Earth may be expensive, but it includes an annual free trip around the Sun.
