The design was one he picked from several presented. The original intent was for a monocoque (stressed skin) design, and the funny shape was necessary for that design.

Somewhere along the line they figured they needed to go back to a standard design to make it, and they should have killed it right there. But they didn't.

Of course, if they had killed it, the EDS crowd would be screaming "MUSK LIED reeeeeee!"

But at least it introduced total 48V, gigabit rings for communications, and true steer by wire.

Apple usually won't offer something until it's figured out enough to be done right, while others will rush hokey implementations early to be first.

A company of 33,000 has positions over seven layers deep and teams of only two people? At least they finally realized they have a problem.

The last two big pushes for backdoors were under Clinton and Obama.

They do it, but semi-auto and without the music. It is an effective way to take out packs of feral hogs that are tearing stuff up. They are an invasive species.

Does this consider if others follow Tesla and go 48V?

M2 killer. They forgot to lead the target.

Say he did get âoeone gram of thrust,â considering he really means about 0.01 Newtons. Then we scale it up, say to even just 1,000 Newtons using a large array of these. Thatâ(TM)s still very little force, but the point is that it can be applied without a reaction mass. The dreaded rocket equation goes out the window for space flight. We may accelerate slowly, but we can keep accelerating for many years straight without having to accelerate all that fuel too.

It is not soldered on. It is on-die. The SSD is soldered on.

Many crashes are maintenance related. This issue is about quality control at the factory. And the MAX isn't very new. It is just a slightly modified 737 with new engines (which is related to one reason they were crashing). I wouldn't have a problem flying on a 737 built before the McDonnell Douglas managers took over Boeing. It became the most popular commercial jet back when it was a great and reliable jet.

The location is fixed to the last iPhone that was near the AirPods, so in the house in this case. You cannot get an exact fix on the location unless they are your AirPods and you are close to them.

Incompatibility? Man, you should see how hard it was to move everything from an XBox to a PS5.

Not easy if hardware is involved. I once had an absurdly expensive printer at work, for which we had an obscene amount of expensive consumables, that required Windows 95, and 98 or any NT wouldnâ(TM)t work. We kept 95 around for a long time until it was economical to replace it.

Never admit it? Musk has talked about when both Tesla and SpaceX were almost out of money and he split the last of his fortune between them in the hopes that one survives.

Because they already have the payload on and are already fueled, and ICBMs already have the trajectories loaded.
