Not really, it wouldn't even be feasible to replace the on-board electric with solar, ignoring propulsion. Using the information from here[1] it has five generators. One generator produces 4308kVA, and one of these [2] solar panels produces 0.296 kVA. So ~15,000 solar panels to replace one (of five) generator.

It's a team of people, so the $14MM wouldn't all go to a single person. It's certainly a lot of money, but it may not be retire in comfort money.

That many people don't go to prison, they get fines or community service or probation.

What if someone did it and is willing to admit it? Still force them to go to trial, a trial that may take longer than the punishment for their crime? And victims too, say someone robs you, now you're forced to take time off work to attend a trial for the person that admitted to robbing you and also doesn't want a trial.

Plus there would need to be a massive expansion of the court system to accommodate trials for everyone. Where's the money to pay for that going to come from?

Criminal justice reform is necessary, removing plea deals completely is foolishly short sighted.

That $0.33 is cost of human labor, the article doesn't mention how much the technology contributes to the cost of the clothing.

This wouldn't be suitable for long range OTR trucking, but great for shorter regional trucking. Delivery drivers like UPS or Fedex don't hit 200 miles a day and other trucks in denser areas also travel shorter distances and diesel fumes in urban areas is a huge concern. There are plenty of use cases for an electric truck that can travel 200 miles, even if it won't immediately replace diesel or gas.

You may not be in their primary audience, but they're pretty popular. I just looked at their Facebook page and it has 87 million followers.

This is meant to be portable, weighing only 150 with fuel and payload.

This is from last May, he was rehired in July.

Bitcoin tumblers obfuscate the trail

He's one of the top experts in self driving technology, a motorcycle he and a team built in college is in the Smithsonian. I can see Uber wanting to keep him on unofficially.

The CFAA is absurdly broadly worded, so much so that it's extremely easy to wield against people accused of violating it. The DoJ uses it as their hammer, if they targeted everyone who violated it the jails would be overflowing.

People follow pages and join groups and all that, so bots have to do that as well to blend in. It's to make the bot more legitimate.

If he graduated college in 2004 then he would be in his mid-thirties and considered by most definitions to be a millennial himself or very close.

I shouldn't be surprised that a business owner would publicly trash someone to make themselves feel superior after seeing it happen so often, but how could he not see how embarrassing this would be? No wonder he needs a communications specialist.

The New York Times did a good article on this last fall

You couldn't care less

You and other people found a good deal, it's not like you're jumping on a bandwagon because it's cool.

Fingerprints have plenty of their own issues though.

Banks and credit unions generally use Chexsystems, which is for banking history not the credit score from the three companies you'd usually think of.

Credit unions have similar, maybe slightly lower, standards for opening accounts. They don't want to be stuck with overdrafts either.

That's stated in the article
