Part of how this battery works in the grid is that it stores power from low demand/high generation periods and parcels it out during high demand periods. It creates an arbitrage play between different rates. The power generators are a bit peeved because that money is going into the battery owner's pockets (and the rate payer's also save money) rather than the power generator's bottom line.

It's a built-in function of IOS. Frankly, if I owned them, I would use them for this purpose. Having this available from consumer-grade earphones is a plus for hearing impaired people.

If the owners got dividends or shareholder value from those profits during those years, then they should be on the hook for this egregious breach of customer privacy. Fining the company billions to the point that it eats into shareholder equity is a very appropriate thing to do.

The process would be the same and subject to the same regulatory approval. Even if Sprint's assets were up for auction, it would require regulatory approval.

I think this merger makes a strong competitor for AT&T and Verizon and will drive innovation to a point. cellular communications could also get disrupted in the future by satellite communications.

Yet science educators are treated with disdain and suspicion. It's been shown that the literally some of the same actors who created FUD around the tobacco health risks have done the same in the Climate Change Debate with the result being public sentiment moving away from the scientific consensus. This is a problem in journalism that treats propaganda as comparable to scientific fact.

If you think the report says nothing, the a) you haven't read it or b) you have serious reading comprehension issues...

Washington states electricity source is already over 85% renewable so the remaining 15% could be achieved with mostly wind power. Maybe some Geothermal.

No wonder you posted as Anonymous. That is a particularly ignorant and asinine thing to say. Completely bogus. EV's do have a higher manufacturing CO2 footprint, but their operating savings even when electricity comes from primarily "dirty" sources breaks even within 3-4 years and it's net savings for every year after that. California's grid is about 35% renewables, the rest natural gas and grid exchange power from the Pacific Northwest (which is over 80% renewables). So it's already much cleaner than much of America.

Face it, fossil fuels will be a thing of the past in a very few years.

umm. Seriously?

Take a look at the average repair list for your make/model.

There is already a published Siri shortcut called "I am being pulled over by the police" which performs a number of actions to record your interaction with the police including notifying contacts and even publish the video.

I imagine that one of the options could be to disable faceID or touchID.

Someone should write one that's like: "Hey Siri, BUG OUT!!!" which would promptly erase the phone.

The starting wage at a Regional Carrier has been about $24-30K with few benefits and crazy schedules. Many need food stamps or other living assistance to make ends meet. Now they are trying to pay incentives because of the severe shortage but the airline industry failed to maintain a sustainable pipeline of talent because of its austerity in the past 20 years. And in 2018 even a wage of $70K has lower purchasing power parity than what pilots were paid 20 years ago. Given how poorly pilots are paid there has been an obvious reduction in supply.

The rub is, human labor is a small fraction of the cost of operating a jet. If they want pilots, they're going to have to pay them well and keep up those incentives.

So how many of these are instead buying other Tesla models or in the used market?

The intent is the same. You are impermissibly using a criterion for recruitment. You may not discriminate on the basis of age in hiring.

They are being forced to pre-fund pension plans FAR in advance of their obligation. That is singularly different than ANY other company or entity. It is literally starving them of resources. They can't adequately keep their facilities updated, clean, or expand services. The Post Office is one of the few things specifically mentioned in the Constitution as a service the Government is expected to provide.

If it were not for companies like Amazon and others, the Post Office would have gone bankrupt.

My state and I'm sure many others, charges trucks for weight and tonnage carried on freeways. Ostensibly for the extraordinary wear and tear trucks make on the public roads. The Tesla Semi is probably going to weigh in at much higher weight than a traditional diesel tractor. Will states cut these trucks a break?
