    Tesla nearly triples Model 3 production from the previous quarter

    There isn't an increased interest in the electric cars in Europe, sales have dropped significally after the government subsidies have lowered in 2017. We may need a Tesla effect here as well to get the 'cool factor' back for the electric car, hype or not. :(

    Xiaomi clones the iPhone X for $420, adds in-display fingerprint reader

    I bought an Xiaomi last weekend, first chinese phone for me, at least as brands go. I have to admit it's an incredible value for money, at least in eurozone, almost too good to be true. Single annoying thing is the theme that ressembles an iPhone, but that's a really minor thing.

    Here’s what Elon Musk’s 2.7-mile tunnel in LA looks like

    So this tunnel needs exits shafts every few meters, right? How does your pod get out 'when you want' ? Something doesn't add up here... Edit: This seems more like a rich man solution to bypass the traffic.

    Congress debates allowing tens of thousands of cars with no steering wheel

    That's for small children-babies. For adults is better tout face forward in the case of an accident, the brain can get internal lessions easily In the rear collisions. The human body is not constructed to deal with speeds over 40km/h

    Is it time to take the Hyperloop seriously?

    Like Musk himself said: 'Do it'. For now, this is an exercise on spending other people's money on concepts and nice présentations, nothing real to show.

    Globally, women tend to avoid science careers even when they’re good at it

    As a romanian living abroad (Romania is given as an example In the article), I can confirm that the romanian women are generally very well prepared to compete with men on equal bases in sciences. It has to do with several factors: several decades of grading based on merit in schools In the...

    Bitcoin falls below $10,000 as crypto rout continues

    Yes. Be ready, a friend of mine wanted to buy 7 additional Radeons RX580 8GB after he just bought 2 last week. He already has 8 Radeons spitting ethereum contracts 24/7 and burning electricity as a result. Now he says "I'm gonna wait and see".

    YouTube waits a little too long to punish Logan Paul for dead body video

    Well, in my democracy when some media posts some content that degrades a human being unable to defend itself that media is punished in the court. When that said media is paying the guy that films and distributes snuff, than it's even worse. What if it was your grandpa in the video?

    YouTube waits a little too long to punish Logan Paul for dead body video

    Elon Musk promises rain-sensing wipers, Tesla pickup truck

    Shouldn't the future for electric cars be more closer to small cars/buses ? The electric cars around here (Paris) are made with the idea that the weight to power ratio is already too big with the current generation of batteries, so lighter is better. The small cars are perfect for the inner city...

    Bitcoin rival Bitcoin Cash soars as Coinbase adds support

    I found an analogy for bitcoin that works for me: some guys I don't know play a game of monopoly somewhere in a skyscraper at a very high level. They decide then that they can also sell their toy money over the internet to anybody interested and then annonce "sky-rise this", "amazing that"...

    Hyperloop One says it sent a demo pod down its test track

    That thing does NOT travel in a vacuum. You cannot hear the sound in the vacuum. Something is very fishy with this company. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vydb5EBDp6c

    There’s new evidence tying WCry ransomware worm to prolific hacking group

    The copies are allright as far as I know, problems arise though because the Update service is set to Disabled, so sooner or later there will be a threat that was not covered in the installation. And nobody is 'forced' to use stolen copies of Windows OS, it's just a bad habit that comes with a...
