Indeed it is. My last trip there was so bad that I am reluctant to ever go back. It wasn't just seeing poop and piss on the streets- it was seeing people pooping and pissing on the streets in plain view. My wife and I had to step over a frothy stream of piss on the sidewalk from a woman squatting against a wall 5 feet from me near the trolly stop while staring at me with her pants around her ankles.
Google and Amazon both say its negligible.
Sure, AC-3 alone is patent-free, but each newer version of DD or DTS adds new patents and new licenses.
One of the big factors here is the licensing costs for DD and DTS. The terms for licensing those codecs are pretty harsh and can apply to a per device cost to all devices a manufacturer sells.
To date, all GM Electric cars have only supported 3.3kW Level 2 charging. Do you think 3.3kW charging plus CCS quick charging is sufficient for longer-range vehicles that might be used for road trips, like the forthcoming Bolt?
GM has been in-sourcing the production of many of the key components of their electric vehicles in recent years. What have the benefits and successes been of using that approach?
If you have the opportunity to acquire a Spark EV, do it. I love mine. Fast, fun, 4-door. It's a great car.
Here you go: 181 pages of testimony that the Grand Jury heard.

I submit to you that you do not know what happened. Don't feel bad- very few people outside of the 12 members of the Grand Jury have heard all of known facts of the case. I certainly don't know what happened.
But please keep this in mind. Things that you accept as fact are not really facts. Case in point: your assumption that Brown had surrendered. Some of the sworn testimony that was released tonight following the prosecutor's press conference indicates that Brown had not surrendered, and in fact was charging the police officer "like a football player" with his head down and fists clenched. And at the same time, as the prosecutor detailed in his press conference, much of the early eye witness accounts that indicated that Brown had surrendered did not hold up under further scrutiny.
As I said, I don't know what happened, but I think this is enough to move the narrative that Brown had surrendered out of the "fact" category.
The -22F is not a problem, as long as the car is plugged in when left for prolonged periods. At well above that temperature, the battery management system will kick in and heat the battery to keep it within safe temperatures. Now, technically, they could probably disclaim coverage for that, but it seems unlikely if the battery management system does what it's supposed to do.
The $15k charge is a theoretical charge back-calculated from insurance settlements. It does not include any core rebate for returning the old drive train. Since no owner has owned the car for even the current 4 year warranty, we have no information on what Tesla would charge for a drive train replacement, swap or any other non-accident generated repair.
I have experimented with several CFL flood lights for my porch. When it is cold outside, the best CFLs I have tried take 2-3 minutes to get bright. For the first 30 seconds its an unusable purple glow.
Do you think it is in the purview or expertise of the Federal government to tell private business what products they must offer?
Tape is valuable when you want true off-line backup, that's not connected to a system or powered on at all. Yes, you can do cold backups on hard drives, but they're more likely to fail when restarted after 6 months or longer.
Sales tax laws are not only at the state level, but each county and city as well. When you build a B&M store, you know what tax jurisdiction that store is in. An online retailer doesn't have that luxury and has to know the nuances of thousands of different and constantly changing tax codes.
A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming is not worth knowing.
