I think it's in France where names are not published until after the person has been found guilty. If you're innocent until proven guilty then your name should be withheld until then as well. Imagine the guys who are maliciously fingered for sexual child abuse and end up being entirely cleared but their life is screwed from then on.

He's saying his employees are a commodity and not a valuable asset.

My home computer(NUC/LinuxMint) has melded with my dumb TV. Working very nicely so far.

If batters are allowed sticky stuff to get a better grip on the bat then why wouldn't pitchers be allowed sticky stuff to get a better grip on the ball?

All humans have a belief system, it's part of what kept small tribes of humans together for tens of thousands of years. If you don't inherit one then you'll make one up for yourself.

Development and operations are two different mindsets not typically found within the same person.

Not to mention much cheaper wind and solar with battery bridging.

Might be worth it for those who can't drive for one reason or another. Otherwise, no.

Tesla wouldn't be using the 4680 in the model Y if the 4680's status was in doubt.

Otherwise the 'blue screen of death' becomes all too literal.

When Tesla first introduced the cyber truck they were unsure about the demand and also unsure about the 4680 cell manufacturing. Both of these are now settled. It's not impossible that Tesla will drop the prices substantially when they finally go on sale.

The customer is always right.

As a rule of thumb everyone who's born poor and ends up rich does it in real estate. That's not quite the same as saying everyone who invests in real estate ends up rich but it's a starting point.

Mathematics is the intergalactic language.

Project Loon closed down just as project StarLink was proving its viability. Not a coincidence in my mind.

That's gratitude for ya.

Ironic that those counties are right next to one of the very few Idaho counties that votes Democratic.

I've had a string of Google phones going back to the Nexus 5x but, for the very reasons laid out in this article, my next phone will likely be from Apple. That will be my first Apple product.

If they work online in tech, and they want to live in Denver (or elsewhere in Colorado) then yes, I do expect that. In fact I would be surprised if there isn't a communal house or two already set up in Cheyenne Wyoming for that very purpose.

Facebook is just a spout of propaganda paid for by the highest bidder and targeting the most vulnerable and gullible. The brain cancer of civil society.

So you move to Wyoming (100 miles north of Denver) get the job then move back to your place in Denver? It's all about the hiring phase and salary disclosure isn't it. Once you're on board you can work from Colorado. Or am I missing something?

Goedel showed that 'less than', 'equal to', and 'more than' (ie pairing) are essential. Individual natural numbers are cute but not compelling. Even if God created them.

My understanding is currently they just grind up the old batteries into a kind of slurry that then goes through a uniform series of processes to recover the various components.

All true but on the good side the weight distribution of the BEV batteries is much better than the weight distribution of the ICE power train. So it's not all just about the amount of weight.

European countries should now close their air space to any flights in or out of Belarus until this guy is surrendered in good health.

I just updated Chrome OS on my Chrome Book and it totally whacked out my bluetooth mouse again. Lately (say last 8 months) it seems there's almost no QA before they push an update.

I'm not surprised no one changed their minds. First fake data is presented as real and the revealed to be fake. At that point, if real data had been presented then some might changed their mind. But without any real data at all why would anyone consider changing their minds?

Google doesn't really want to have a big market share in the Android ecosystem. If Google achieved that it would almost instantly be under anti-trust suspicion from the DOJ.

What Google does want is to provide provide clean excellent phones where the advertising budget is reduced and the money saved goes right into the quality of the phones.

Having said all that I've had a few Pixels and what I appreciate most is the low light performance of the cameras. I happen to be fond of this kind of photography and so it really works for me.

What I don't appreciate is having to disable both third party cookies in the Android Chrome browser and location tracking. These are both very creepy data scrappers that Google turns right around and sells to advertisers. No thank you.

Next phone though I'm likely to go with Apple just because they are much more privacy forward that Google. I don't appreciate Apple's walled garden approach and therefore I don't have any other Apple products but a standalone Apple phone will meet my needs.

This story has now been posted on HN for three days in a row. Somebody is pumping it.

While this project has some esteemed names backing it my bet is that it will fail. The reason it will fail is because electric aircraft that can reach the 100's to 1000's of feet will be more practical because they will be able to get above all the other water traffic and still operate as cheaply as this craft as batteries become ever cheaper and the cost of electricity remains low and going lower.

The hydrofoil while taxiing is kind of cute but it will subject to collisions with dead head logs and weeds and all kinds of obstacles that can be easily seen under the water. While are regular float plane's pontoons have been tried and proven as they naturally just skid over top of anything that's below the surface.

So in short, this craft will face economies barely better than a similarly sized electric float plane (even given the energy savings of ground effect) while having the disadvantages of only low level flight and risks from things under the water from the hydrofoil.
