Has to be "grid" based. Cities can't function with the "rooftop" model, because there's not enough insolation area to supply demand in an urban environment. Math says so. Actual math, not that common-core crap. Further, the community-power model favors low-density, typically "conservative" areas that would embrace being not-dependent on the government-run power grid. And we can't have that.

The PRC is investigating anti-competitive behavior? A hahaha aha bwah a hahaha !(oh, I think I peed my pants a little ...)

Seems like a great time to examine Walmart's Straight Talk refurbs for under $30

If I remember correctly, after the 2010 Motorola split, Google bought Motorola Mobility and subsequently sold them to Lenovo.

Google ended up with most of Motorola Mobilityâ(TM)s patent portfolio, while Motorola Solutions ended up with Mobilityâ(TM)s debt (as part of the split agreement) and Lenovo eventually ended up with the Mobility husk.

"If it works with a kidney, it will work with a heart."

How gloriously arrogant.

I hope Mr. Hallstedt, with his choice of plural pronoun, enjoys his difficulty in finding employment. His misery is totally self-inflicted.

The politically correct distortion of grammar makes the article all but unreadable.

“Basically, the game industry kept quoting me untenable wages and generally made me broke, barely afloat. "

No, Virginia, you did that to yourself. As noted above, as long as there is a strong supply of folks willing to accept crappy wages and the attendant crappy living conditions, there is zero motivation for employers to change their behavior.

Mr. Hallstedt needs to find another job, or stay with his current one and make it work ... but he needs to stop being a whiny princess about how he's working tons of hours and not being compensated enough. He's not owed employment in the task of his choosing at the salary he commands. No one is.

... and you cannot lie?

I am amazed that I have to explain this, but since your comment was echoed by a lot of similar posts, I will. Ever installed the Starbucks app on your phone?

No.

It's cute that they discuss the deployment of a charger network in detail, but don't touch on where the additional power will come from.

They hint at "adding 12GW of renewable generation," but that's not nearly enough to transition 950k vehicles to electricity. I did some napkin-math, and it appears they're between 10x and 100x short on supply capacity. (depends a lot on usage assumptions.) So unless they're going to turn-up 100GW of conventional powerplants, they had better be laying the foundations for nuclear generation sites right now.

Every community-contribution story I have ever participated in has devolved into one person getting butthurt, with the concurrent appearance of Godzilla* who destroys everyone and everything.


* or equivalent

Applying a cat to the interior space of a box usually results in you bleeding ... a lot.

So they're implementing Cory Doctorw's Whuffie?

>>What is it with the proponents of mass transit who can't stand the idea of people making their own decisions about transportation? So if you can't make mass transit affordable and desirable, the only alternative is to outlaw the competition?

Your elected overlords have already proscribed a public-transit solution to satisfy your transportation needs. That solution is predicated on some ridership statistic, and it implodes if the revenue numbers aren't met. How dare you choose an alternative?!?

My toddlers were especially adept at taking off articles of clothing that they didn't want to wear ... which was pretty much everything for a while. But you can't make the wristband too difficult to remove, because "bath time" is a nightly activity to remove a layer of cruft from the dirty little monkeys. This system won't work because the inconvenience outweighs the potential benefit ... by a lot.
