It's great to have it on your device.

Imagine you arrive home and your smart phone tells your lock to unlock via onboard Thread and UWB. Or you arrive in a room and it lights up!

I think it's a great idea

Third, non Tesla owners will need the Tesla app and see Tesla vehicles charging generally faster and a working infrastructure compared to other fast chargers. It's a way to get new owners

Capacity of the turbines is 900MW

Lets say you turbine water for 24hres you get 22k MWh your approx capacity but you need time to pump it back and it's probably slower than the time you let the water flow down and then you have loss from friction and efficiency of the turbine and pumps..

But I agree with you it'll be a cash cow in the long term

The center console already run Linux, so it's not that hard to support the Linux Steam games

I have an old wired USB gamepad in my console. Just plug it to any USB port.

Great for playing with the kids while you're waiting for your charge to finish at the supercharger

The sound system of the car is impressive btw!!!

I remember... Everything was either sold out in store, rented or stolen... you can't steal a train :P It was pretty safe lol

The Tesla heat pump is special not because of the heat pump but because of the octovalve.

When it's super cold, it will get its heat from the massive heat reservoir from the battery. For example if you stop supercharging, your battery will be in the 40-60C range. So even if it's -30 ouside, it doesn't matter.

If you're plugged home, you can preheat the battery from your app 30mins before you leave. That's energy stored in the form of heat in the battery additionally from the electrons. You just need 2-3 hours of heat stored anyway because you'll need to stop for supercharging and it will re-heat the battery.

When your car is parked and sun is shining, the car will heat the battery from the solar energy.

The only case is if the car is parked, cold (you haven't used it for 24 hours), not plugged in and it's been -21C for 24 hours you won't get any benefit from the heatpump.

It's like 600 wats vs 1500watts on a 2 hours trip

They realized Starlink is the future?

- Windows 2015: Gaming Edition: Get a SteamBox!
- Windows 2015: Business Edition: Get Windows 7 ;-)

Always used them for 15 years. Lost one long time ago, bought the same again (current model).

Universal health care, cure French girls, good restaurants, great culture (ok ok immigration problems but hey, habla espagnol?)

France is not as bad as depicted, especially when you compare CURRENT standards of living in the US, not the ones that were true 5-10 years ago

The problem will be that for security systems you're gonna be the "guy that doesn't have a chip" and you will get much more attention that regular people.

Just like we associate drug dealer with someone that would pay a laptop cash for when it's perfectly legal and you could have legitimate reasons to do so.

With the crypted Echelon IP I just published, if NSA has a way to decrypt the message and want to track me, Slashdot will be offline in 5, 4, 3...2......1

Someone plugged an home router into the government office where I was doing consulting. (he wanted a switch to plug a networked printer)

The router started giving 192.168.x.x IP to everyone on the floor, soon including a few servers (including the Lotus Notes one)

Took 3 days for the admins to find out the source of the problem and where the router was... abysmal loss of productivity needless to say I gave them a good speech on not routing 192.168 packets on the network and isolating their networks.

Users tend to stay in the same area most of the time so they could cache the user's gmail account that is seen into the specific region. No need to cache foreign accounts locally. No need to cache the entire account, just the last 2-3 days of email... I rarely read my old stuff

You could also cache the most popular youtube videos at the resolution that is used on cell phones (that would save LOTS of bandwidth) thus freeing the available bandwidth for other needs. Don't need to cache everything.

There is a LOT of optimisation to be done without caching the entire internet. I think that if Google is doing it, it's because they calculated their stuff and it's benefical for the money invested.
