If you don't care about battery damage, could probably increase the charge rate without a larger battery on board.

Sure might increase the ods of a battery catching fire, or reduction in battery life. But if you're trying to get the fastest time...you might not care

An EV that just works that appeals to the luxury buyer.

Tesla is still far from that. I've yet to meet a tesla owner who's car just "Works" without any issues or fiddling.

GM's & Nissan's EVs fit that bucket. But they are designed as "buget" cars and dont evoke a desire from buyers to be excited about them on a day-to-day basis.

This why I'm so excited about Cloud in the public sector. Its so easy to defer upgrades on a server fleet, even though it might cost someone more money later on.

The Public Cloud provides a monthly expense that just becomes part of the operation budget.

It's exciting to think about the innovation to government services as an end-result.

Check-out T-Mobile home internet. 50$/month unlimited 5G & LTE hotspot.

It's not a new form factor...yet.

The implications from a chip this powerful, with its low-wattage, heat dissipation...will enable the next generation of laptop form factor.

A company could hire their own janitor, buy their own janitorial supplies and save money.

Or they can go through a 3rd party consultant to take care of it so they can focus their cycles on more important issues.

Not everyone is an infrastructure provider. Time is a limited commodity, and there are clear benefits of spending as much of your time on the core business.

Each starlink satellite can only handle ~20Gibps of throughput across all customers connecting.

Say there's 10,000 of these in space, that's 200,000Gibps or 195Tibps.

I don't think that's enough bandwidth for high speed internet for hundreds of millions of customers.

However I suspect it'll be cheaper and faster for sparsley populated areas. With Urban areas still leveraging physical wires.

They said SF, not SF Bay area. I'm certain the city of SF will be seeing a loss of jobs as they move to Oakland, East Bay, Peninsula and South Bay.

I believe YT makes a cut of this ad rev. It's also much harder for ad blockers to block these kinds of ads.

So why would YT block it?

When you're watching a video and there's a ~1min segment on squarespace...etc, its an ad.

You still have ads with YT Premium. Most creators place multi-minute ads in their content.

My phone recently bricked itself, requiring me to factory reset my iOS.

Because of the redesign, i decided to try out Apple Maps before attempting to re-install Google Maps.

Have yet to re-install google maps since, with Apple Maps actually much improved.

So is California. Around 80-90k of pension liabilities per household.

Just California has Prop 13 protections for land owners.

Wouldn't rents just shift from cities to suburbs, offices to homes/banks.

Gentrification has a part, but so does the work of city & community leader. East Palo Alto became a city in 1983, before that the county handled the area's affairs...and given the smaller size/population it was not a primary focus.

A lot of credit goes towards the police relationship - https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/01/02/how-east-palo-alto-sh...

Let it sink in that East Palo Alto, former murder capital of USA has less crime per-capita than San Francisco.

East Palo Alto is a shining example of how a township/city can clean up its streets in a short time period, by investing in the community.

SF = 2018 was 690.89 per 100,000 population EPA = 2018 was 470.14 per 100,000 population

because everyone else did similar printing. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/21/eu-leaders-reach-a-breakthro...

I'm still waiting for my equifax settlement.

Sounds like this deprecates it though :(

Google just deprecated Android TV as well: https://9to5google.com/2020/09/30/android-tv-replaced-google...

It's why I like a dumb tv with seperate 'smarts' as an external attachment.

I generally keep my TV much longer than I keep a laptop/computer.

I'm totally confused. So I have an Nvidia Shield that I bought a few years back.

How is this different?

Is Google TV rebranded Android TV?

Or NYC can cut their budget. NYC spends 3.2 Billion on homeless services. https://www.wsj.com/articles/new-york-citys-spending-on-home...

Not saying the cuts need to come from that segment, but let the sheer size of some of these budgetary items sink in.

Boston Dynamics was founded in 1992. That was almost 30 years ago.

Just me, or is it crazy they haven't had 1 year of profitability in nearly 3 decades of operations.

It's also used in the customs process.

> Why in the hell should the Rockefeller’s of today be billionaires???

I'm curious what the statistics are for a family remaining wealth over a long period of time.

Even with wealth evenly split between each generations kids, given a growth of just 4% it might end up with each generation getting a greater amount of wealth still.

In the past large familes prevented this, but if the average extremely wealthy person only averages 2 kids. The dilution through children just doesn't occur.

I find that this is super convenient that this is happening during COVID restrictions.

I'm not needing a taxi/uber/lyft for leaving the bar. I'm not going out to a restaurant with friends. I'm not traveling for work/fun and needing an lift to the hotel.

My usage of uber/lyft/taxis went from 100s per month down to 0. If this change happened in 2019, I'd of had significant changes to my daily routine. Today, this changes nothing.

You do realize that most 1st world countries have experienced a rolling black of some sort in the same time period.

1 rolling black out every 20 years isn't all that crazy. Would you rather we spend billions/trillions on infrastructure used for 3 days every 20 years?

You could see commercial real-estate be converted to residential.
