Ah, I believe I understand now. Here's an older tweet from Musk which mostly explains it: "Crush core is aluminum honeycomb for energy absorption in the telescoping actuator. Easy to replace (if Falcon makes it back to port)."

Musk tweeted that the rocket booster used "almost all of the emergency crush core" which, according to the article, "helps soften the landing".

Can someone explain what this means? What is an emergency crush core?

Please don't remove the headphone jack!

Title is probably misleading many people. This new feature does not do standard calls to phones. From what I can tell, it's more of an "in-amazon-network" voice chat, between amazon apps/devices.

#1 solution that I've been using, is setup an ifttt skill, then "alexa, trigger call my phone"

According to the article, it's not real telephone calls, yet.

Getting people to physically visit their B&M store, for whatever reason, is hugely valuable.

- FLAVOR: Desktop

- HEADLINE: Full VR Support

- DESCRIPTION: VR isn't just for games. And using VR for productivity is a no-brainer. Ubuntu should be the go-to operating system for the most immersive VR desktop experience. Ubuntu should lead the VR-on-the-desktop revolution by supporting desktop VR (by working with Steam/FBOculus/MS/Google/Samsung as necessary to get the hardware and drivers correct and plug-n-play).

Yet even in chrome, the slowness of Asana is just too painful for me to use.

After binge-watching the latest six episodes, I really enjoyed this "Twilight Zone"-like promo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=di6emt8_ie8

My guess is child seats.

I take it as a hint that Tesla may be producing more than just "cars" in the near future.

It was just yesterday we read about SpaceX launching their first reused rocket. However, after searching for the news article, it's now clear to me that this was scheduled to happen "late this year".

I am surprised that no one has mentioned whether or not this failure is related to SpaceX's first time reusing a rocket. If so, hopefully this isn't too much of a setback!

You might be right, but it would still be interesting to see how a holocracy run company would cope with being public.

I wish Valve was publicly traded so that I can invest.

And a likely Oculus insider hints at a vendor/partner problem here:

PL tried to solve it with his own money.
