You mean 4G speeds. It's still right there on their prepaid plan page. "$30 per month — Unlimited web and text with 100 minutes talk: 100 minutes talk | Unlimited text | First 5GB at up to 4G speeds"

That was the 9th circuit court. The subject of this thread is the US Supreme Court.

Fine, I'll take the bait: Merriam-Webster says it's a verb, but you're using it as a noun. Wiktionary agrees that it's a verb. So what were you trying to say? In English this time.

Halfbakery?

"Automakers aren't too happy about a recent U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) proposal, which uses part of the wireless spectrum assigned to vehicle-to-vehicle technology for Wi-Fi instead."

In what sense is it not generally produced from coal? Coal gasification is being done on a commercial scale right now (and has been done for decades). While it may not be the most common way to generate syngas, it's certainly not a new or unknown idea. I'm sure if there's more demand for syngas made from coal, more plants will be built. And no, generating syngas from coal is not the topic of this story.

Not sure why you think this process has anything to do with generating syngas. The point of this is to burn certain carbon-containing materials, e.g., coal or syngas, in a way that the generated CO2 can be almost completely captured. This research plant generates 25kW from coal. The upcoming one will generate 250kW from syngas.

How is that different from English? English has subject-verb agreement too.

The plural form of "suck" isn't "sucks"--you don't form the plural form of a verb by adding "s" to it, in either English or French.

Infinitive: "to suck". "He sucks": singular subject, verb ends in "s". "They suck": plural subject, no "s".

Infinitive: "sucer". "Il suce": singular subject, no "s". "Ils sucent": plural subject, no "s".

I'm 37 and starting to develop presbyopia, and love high-dpi displays... using a 13" Retina Macbook Pro right now. While one way to use a high-dpi screen is to make everything smaller so you can fit more stuff on the screen, another way to use it is to keep everything the same size, but use more pixels to render it, which makes everything look sharper. I do the latter.

What kind of crappy design is that? The high voltage battery should charge the 12V battery, but the 12V battery shouldn't arbitrarily "shut down". Especially when the HV battery still has juice in it (which it did, according to the logs). Also, not sure why an e-brake needs to be battery-powered in the first place.

The plot of estimated range vs. miles traveled is particularly interesting... if the range estimation was accurate, the slope while driving should be -1. However, it's pretty consistently around -1.3, with the exception of the section between about 400 and 475 miles (note that the x and y axis scales aren't the same, so you can't just eyeball the line or measure the pixels). I.e., an estimate of 130 miles only gets you about 100 miles of actual driving. Which Broder also noted in his original article: "At 68 miles since recharging, the range had dropped by 85 miles." Why doesn't the estimate adapt to driving conditions and style? In my gas-powered car, the estimated range remaining does seem to take into account the current running average mpg.

In any case, I'm not really interested in what happens after the Milford supercharge (at ~320 miles): he should've charged to completion there, or charged longer at Norwich. The Delaware to Milford supercharge is the portion that's interesting to me. Musk claims that Broder drove the car hard during that section, but I'm not seeing it in the logs. He was going about 60mph during most of that (Musk quibbles that Broder said he set the cruise at 54mph--whatever; neither 54 or 60 are driving the car hard). The slope of the estimated range vs. actual mileage for that section is about -1.25. The distance between the Delaware and Milford stations is 200 (or 202) miles. The estimated range after a 90% charge at Delaware is 242 miles. So factoring in the inaccuracy, an estimated 242 miles translates to an actual 193 miles--not quite enough to reach the destination. And that's while driving below the speed limit.

He mentions that he turned the heater off in an attempt to reduce energy usage.

Two miles is hardly a lengthy detour.
