Am i the only one who thought the may day was about the soviet style communist celebrations?
I have trouble trusting it on name alone. But you have a good point as well ss many others.
You're not the only one who noticed that. The utter cluelessness to start with "May One" and they move to calling it "May Day" is staggering.
Since that announcement, more than a few car forums have taken to calling it the Gen 3 or Gen III.
The recognition of how long it would take to replace the current driving stock versus Tesla's manufacturing capacity was one of the reasons for opening up their patents.
yup, somehow
Who the hell is going to sit down and scan a few million lines of source code with Microsoft looking over your shoulder and hope to spot a backdoor or two in the process?
Even then, how can you be sure that the source code they show you is the stuff you're actually running?
What a PR stunt this is!
There are quite a few solar leasing companies in the USA such as Solar City ( affiliated with Tesla Motors), Sungevity and Sunpower. If your home's roof is suitable, you can have a 20 year agreement for no money down.
see no problem with continuing their association with him. It's the double standard.
OR there's a flaw in your logic somewhere.
...which you can't seem to identify.
The problem with your analogy is that Obama also sucker punched somebody and yet the people who refuse to associate with you - supposedly because you sucker punched somebody - see no problem with continuing their association with him. It's the double standard.
The whole "winshape" part of the "controversy" came after Cathy's comments. It was his comments that set it off, and his comments were no different than those expressed by Obama and Clinton (both) over the years. The difference is that he's an evil "conservative" and they're "Democrats".
There are already 2 AC underwater cables between Spain & Morocco, in operation for over a decade and there are several HVDC cables over 100 miles long; one is almost 400 miles and carries up to 700 MW. and has exceeded revenue expectations from the outset.It's the NorNed Interconnector.
It's been done - most of Europe is one large interconnected grid; something that is only now happening in America.
I expect things will be much improved in the Southwest when the Tres Amigas Superstation goes online but it's something that should have happened between several other American grids years ago.
In many cases, it's still hundreds of miles between power plant & consumer. That's one of the things that is so attractive about rooftop solar - power is produced right where it's consumed.
If the utilities had a lick of sense ( and I hope some did ), instead of fighting against solar, they should have been the ones to start the solar leasing, thereby getting the production credits & subsidies for themselves, have long-term leases with their own customers & less strain on their transmission grid.
There's more to grid demand than baseload and, at least in America, the peak production for solar is the daily demand peak for electricity.
So much of the South and Southwest is prime for solar and as yet has only made modest use of it,even in California. Texas has many GW of wind farms but almost no solar by comparison, a shocking oversight, given that they sometimes go months without rain and stretches of days above 100F.
Why assume that the cost of spinning reserve has not or is not being factored in? The utilities were gaming the system to get paid exorbitantly during times of high demand and now that the renewables are eating their lunch, they want to take their toys and run home?
I'm tempted to say let them fail - and then their assets can be had for pennies on the dollar by someone who takes the long view.
Chick-fil-A were attacked because they were openly bigoted.
Were there any documented cases of Chic-Fil-A refusing to serve someone because they were gay? Refusing to hire someone because they were gay? Attacking someone because they were gay?

Since the guy you're actually asking seems to be uninterested in answering, I'll answer for you.
The answers are "no", "no", and "no".
What happened was that the president of Chik-Fil-A, Dan Cathy, expressed an opinion on same-sex marriage that was exactly what Barack Obama had expressed just a couple of years earlier and that HIllary Clinton had also expressed. Oddly, only one of these three people were harassed for their opinion.
Oddly, it happens to be the one of the three with the least power to effect any change in regard to the subject matter at hand. But, he doesn't claim to be a "Democrat", which is an allegiance which absolves one from all responsibility and repercussions from their opinions.
Obama seems to be the first mainstream US presidential candidate in a long time to "talk the talk" to the kind of people who read Slashdot. The others have been spouting ignorant crap or simply ignoring the topics that most Slashdotters care about. Therefore Obama is the first president that we can be disappointed in -- the others were known bad before they became presidents.
Um, maybe to you. I saw Obama coming a mile away, he's admittedly even more of a let down than I or anyone else could imagine but I knew the vapid talk was just that. I'm glad you admit that he fooled you, most on your side keep claiming that he's actually not an embarrassing failure and that things are way better than when Bush was in office.
