That tesla story is amazing and I want one now.

most people think i drive bmws because i'm an rear end in a top hat but its really because the one time i was in a serious car accident my 3 series gave its life in the exact proper way to keep me safe and alive

for head on collision like that guy's it matters. crumple zones and safety systems are all about spreading the acceleration of an impact out over a few more microseconds instead of it arriving in one massive neck breaking burst but in a wreck between a heavier vehicle and a lighter vehicle the lighter vehicle's safety systems have to deal with much more acceleration because the momentum of the vehicles is conserved in the resulting carblob of mangled steel and bodies.

smacking into something that doesn't move like a bridge support or trying to avoid the wreck in the first place is when the extra mass is a major liability.

also, why does anyone care what zuck's ideal is or treat him like some sort of guru in this space?

he just happened to launch his hacked-together sixdegrees clone at the right time, and managed to ride the iPhone wave in a way that prevented it from going out with the tide in a couple years like every other one had. remember Friendster? Orkut? they could've been Facebook, with different timing.

my firm was picked by the silicon valley innovation center to be the engineer of record for high tech civil infrastructure design and implementation

among other things, we are going to be responsible for installing radar detectors for traffic signals in the bay area

this is an improvement over the older induction loop detectors b/c they're more accurate, cheaper to maintain, and are able to make traffic measurements available to the traffic control center in realtime


traffic measurements are things like determining the speed of vehicles traveling through the intersection, vehicle counts which include type, and automatic tracking of each vehicle as they travel through the camera network via their unique radar silhouettes

a nice campus is good but the thing that a summer intern at a company like qualcom gets is a goddamn paycheck that's probably actually pretty good

i know people in entertainment and publishing and advertising and they all talk about internships as times where they had to also work at taco bell or borrow more student loans because they don't get paid and that poo poo is nuts, who in their right mind charges up a credit card for "work experience"?

filters out the poor people. if you don't have rich parents, excess credit, a trust fund, or total faith, you don't get to work in those industries, because basically everyone (except the ones with connections) has to spend some time as an unpaid intern in those industries. if youre a minority or your parents are janitors or something you can't afford the unpaid internship so you can't get into the field
