All that lithium sitting in storage lots, wasted. Tesla could save the CT with some sort of body kit conversion that tears it down to the frame and rebuilds it as a more traditional truck. It’ll still not be a great truck, but better than letting all those batteries rot.
Dude, the Edsel didn’t even have seatbelts.
But the Aztek was the first crossover. Part car, part SUV. The world didn’t know they wanted it yet. Now almost every vehicle is either a truck or a CUV. I can’t see what is going to be redeemable about the CT. Maybe electric pickups will take off among the Tradies, but CT wasn’t even first there.
1.1 kW array, draped over the car is going to produce more like 0.7kW at best and probably less due to clouds and sub optimal angles. Good EV efficiency is like 3mi/kWh and let’s assume you get 8 good hours of sun, which may be generous depending on local weather and time of year. I think you’re only going to see about 16 miles of range added per day.
I don’t buy the “negligible” effect to air resistance and lower speeds. There are just too many factors.
So I guess if you commute less than 16 miles round trip, and you can easily remove it when going on longer, high-speed trips it might solve your lack of outlet. But I stand by the fact that if you can’t charge either at home or at work, electric may not suit your needs. I’m not a hater, both my wife and I drive EVs, just realistically they don’t suit everyone.
One of my favorite sandwiches is to spread peanut butter on a hot dog bun, add the banana, drizzle on some honey. Delicious.
Everyone shits on Discover and Amex though, two companies that tried to break in. Discover gave up the fight and got bought by Capital one after 40 years of growing from the Sears in store credit card.
For alternatives to break the duopoly, people need to actually use them.

I always expect people to have heard about it but no one ever seems to. Hilarious look at small town Canadian life with a fucking great music selection. Equally fun for those of us in the states if we have a good sense of humor when they’re making fun of us.
I think it’s frustrating long term. It’s a great “weekly sitcom” show, but if you binge it, the complete lack of character development is painful to watch.
Conveniently AI is now stealing all the hard drives. Where are we supposed to store our torrents?
Doesn’t that just mean he never figured it out? Doesn’t mean it’s impossible for everyone forever.
I see the issue. Bluetooth hasn’t been invented yet. Please wait 2-3 decades and try again.
The various versions of paint it black are fucking fantastic.
First of all, lack of ORM isn’t bad. It’s not a good or bad thing to use them out not use them. What’s bad is not sanitizing your query inputs and you don’t need an ORM to do that.
I think the worst thing I’ve seen is previous devs not realize there’s a cost to opening a DB connection. Especially back when DBs were on spinning rust. So the report page that ran one query to get the all the items to report on, then for each row ran another individual query to get that row’s details was probably one of the slowest reports I’ve ever seen. Every DB round trip was at minimum 0.1 seconds just to open the connection, run the query, send back the data, then close the connection. So 10 rows per second could be returned. Thousands of rows per page has people waiting several minutes, and tying up our app server. A quick refactor to run 2 queries instead of hundreds to thousands and I was a hero for 10 min till everyone forgot how bad it was before I fixed it.
As a hiring manager, a candidate’s list of certificates has made very little impact in the process compared to experience. If there’s no experience, like for a junior role, then the certs will help against others with no experience. But so will a portfolio.
As written the bureaucrat would be useful in preventing stalemate, which isn’t accurate since bureaucrats cause stalemates.
FOH with that bullshit.

It would intelligently tell me what time it is for whoever I’m talking to since I’m the daily I work with people in 6 time zones. It would also live translate whatever language is being spoken onto the display. I’ve seen the demos of what in ear translators can to, but I need a display as I don’t process audio that well.
The no child left behind policy was intended to ensure that kids got extra help when needed. In reality schools determined it was way easier to lower the bar than to get some kids to learn. Kids and shitty parents have figured this out and will game the system as much as possible. Clear on it being a baby bush policy. FWIW I think the intent was good, but making more demands of the education without providing additional resources and no way of enforcing quality has reached an inevitable point.
Did it disappear though?
80 employees in the LA game market. Probably not all engineer or engineering related but plenty of managers and such, average salary plus benefits was probably 250k/yr at 6 years that’s 1.5 mil per employee so half that 300 mil was probably employees. Equipment and office space and software licenses. Any marketing materials they may have already invested in. The money didn’t just go poof, it paid people and other companies.
