Raises the question: which has a better blast radius: a tiny fuel cell or a Li-Ion battery?

To get it even at that point, apparently glue had to be used in place of a lot of fasteners that make repairing easy.

In addition to the fuckton of glue (mainly to keep people out), there are +90 screws! I don't think a mid-60's automobile would have 90 screws.

Only Microsoft could pull off the feat of using a boatload of conventional fasteners and still make the hardware practically irrepreble. Hamfisted jackanapes.

Meh. You can be replaced by sufficiently advanced algorithms. I'm mathematician, FFS. There are already automated theorem provers which can solve undergrad-level problems.

And Derivatives; don't forget the market genius of Derivatives - oh! - and Subprime Loans too!

I recall reading that after the 'battle' for Greneda, more medals were handed out - including to military contractors - than were handed out for D-Day. Might have been BS, but it's always stuck with me.

Funny how all this fascist behaviour and bravery of being out of range is starting after most all the WWII vets have died.

Apple's monoculture and price tags.

Why are critical infrastructre, military, and non-consumer facing financials ON A FUCKING PUBLIC NETWORK AT ALL?

Hmm. But how much of that speed was due to their massive web caching servers?

We really need Teddy Rosevelt to come back and bust all these greedy bastards that for all practical purposes are trusts.

Earlier in the year, while pointing out several areas across the globe suffering significant droughts, the other person asked: "Well, where is it all going?" I had no ready answer. I guess the oceans? Though I thought the sea level rises were due mainly to ice melt (even more water!), not increased rainfall and runoff.

"We're gonna need a bigger boat."

...you can see us driving our Web Rover in Nevada all the way from Brazil.

Sadly, someone's going to read this, think 'perfect IED' and put the hacker space in quite a bad light.

Most gas gages on conventional cars are rather conservative - I assume their lawyers to tell them to do this. Maybe Tesla needs to fuzz the range numbers and recalcuations downwards.

The car is keeping a log of where you've been.

Is Tesla partially funded by the state Security Organs? Nah; probably just insurance companies.

They're already *at* the bottom.
