This problem has been solved for years. Mazda's i-stop, for example, is an intelligent idling stop system designed to improve fuel economy by about 10% and reduce emissions by automatically shutting down the engine when the vehicle comes to a complete stop. It uses combustion energy, rather than the starter motor, to restart the engine in approximately 0.35 seconds for a smoother, faster, and quieter restart. https://patents.google.com/pat... Without regulation, all cars wouldn't have ABS or SRS Airbags and we know these save thousands of lives per year. The Chinese continue their incentives for EV sales. Without good leadership and regulatory controls, we will languish rather than advance.

Oh HELL NO... I dropped a zero while typing; that's a profit of $2,330 per EV

Net Profit per Vehicle: Based on 2025's total GAAP net income of $3.8 billion and 1.63 million deliveries, Tesla’s average net profit per electric vehicle is approximately $2,33 while shifting focus, moving away from a "hardware-centric" car business toward "physical AI," including FSD subscriptions, Robotaxis, and Optimus robots, to offset slowing automotive growth. The legacy "Detroit Three" have collectively vaporized over $50 billion in 2025-2026 to unwind EV bets that failed to meet demand. https://share.google/aimode/Rb...

Trump needs to look at the growth of zero-carbon energy generation in the US versus China and wake up https://x.com/JessePeltan/stat... https://www.reddit.com/r/Econo...

Conservative Trump supporters generally view this as a necessary part of a broader effort to reform a "deep state" bureaucracy and improve government efficiency. While critics call it a "brain drain," supporters often frame it as a long-overdue cleaning of agencies they believe have been overstaffed or ideologically biased. http://tiny.cc/MAGAPhDStuff

Tesla plans to expand its robotaxi service to 8 to 10 major U.S. cities by the end of 2025, targeting areas like Florida, Nevada, and Arizona for the initial rollout. The service will go driverless in Austin by the end of the year, and the company is seeking approval to serve California airports. Tesla is also seeking local job candidates for its vehicle data collection team in cities like Aurora, Colorado. https://www.google.com/search?...

I participated in the TED AI Hackathon in SF, and it seems like the conference has become pay-to-play rather than being powered by the visions of the future, tech, design, and ideas that we all fell in love with. WELCOME ABOARD, Sal Khan!

The most wealth, particularly among the super-wealthy, comes from business ownership and related investments in industries like Finance & Investments, Technology, and Manufacturing. For America's richest, wealth is primarily tied to their company's stock, representing an expected future income stream rather than physical assets. https://economics.princeton.ed... https://www.heritage.org/taxes....

IIt does! The inlet pipe is buried underground, the entry point for cool air is in the kitchen, and the outlet is on the top floor roof. It's not evaporative, it's all based. upon the principle of rising heat.

Earthships use a combination of natural cooling strategies, primarily relying on underground cooling tubes and convection currents to maintain comfortable temperatures. These tubes, buried in the earth, pre-cool incoming air, while natural convection currents draw the cooled air through the building and expel warmer air. https://earthship.com/2020/03/...

It's very worrying because actual employees at the Environment Agency have read some social media articles about US data centers using water and extrapolated it to the UK without doing any research. Something like 95% of data centers in the UK are using air-cooled chillers for cooling. Zero water is being used in that case. A lot of sites use adiabatic cooling for cooling towers, spray for closed-loop air-cooled chillers, or adiabatic CRAH units, in my experience. A lot of that is recycled and reused.
