I don't know shit about enchanters except they have some way to use runes to tank and something else to hold aggro. I recommend reading through: The Newbie Zone | EverQuest Forums There's a lot of good advice there for returning players. But a boxed army will always be better than moloing...

Only in that an enchanter can do decent DPS (unlike a bard or shaman) and do some tanking (no really) but can also buff their group and add ADPS. Personally I like the tracking and selos a bard has so much that I'd take my 20k DPS bard over whatever an enchanter is doing. I also think a bard is...

I box a war/bard/mage right now. It's fine and once your warrior is geared you can pretty much do all the group content on your own except some of the difficult missions. I am considering replacing the mage with either a berserker or a cleric. The berserker would increase kill speed, the...

SK/Berserker/ENC + mercs is probably the most OP combination for kill speed. Those three classes are the current OP ones.

This comic combines my pretentiousness about my humble knowledge of math and my undeserved elitism regarding faux-science journalism, and therefore I find it funny. Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal - The Talk

Good article on the EMDrive and why there's not enough information to draw positive conclusions yet: Uncertain Propulsion Breakthroughs?

Gotta be frustrating for cab drivers who possibly eeked out a lower middle class lifestyle to be disrupted by a company that was completely unprofitable but survived on VC funding. It's like the transport version of Walmart moving into a new town, crushing all the nearby stores via loss-leading...

in addition to gas cars being phased out slowly, yeah there are much fewer working parts on electric vehicles, but a lot of maintenance will still be necessary on EVs. And with the increase in responsibility that cars will get when they become fully autonomous, there's just more shit to worry...

It won't go away suddenly, it's not like cell phones where in a period of 10 years we'll all laugh at the existence of pay phones. Additionally, unless we find a chemistry dramatically better than what we have now, gasoline cars aren't going anywhere. It just might go from 0.01% of cars to...

Car prices haven't been exponentially getting more expensive. I think the color chart is the coolest part of this. 2013 is boring.

WE won't see Musk drive prices down. He'll be pioneering other big things (like autonomous cars!).

Cool. I hope in ~15 years we see budget-price electric cars for $10k.

I'd lose easily. If your argument is, "The cost of electric vehicles will greatly diminish as a result of commoditization, as the floor is extremely small due to the simplicity of an electric powertrain vs a gasoline one." that's true and I don't think anyone who knows vehicles will disagree...

Zapatta, what do you do for a living?

I know and it'll be awesome.

What expertise do you have in automotive supply chains and commodization?

This is the coolest thing ever. I'd love to see how far they're stretching the energy cost of moving a 10lbs package a few miles.

lol @ calling the Tesla price tag outrageous. They deployed the first decent system + infrastructure to support it and massively dropped the price.

Yeah they seem to be pretty tight lipped about it, but here's their car: Pretty standard looking setup. Two velodyne HDL32s on top, looks like a dual antenna GPS receiver, some cameras and radar. Not sure how I feel about GM's approach of just buying an autonomy group for 1 billion vs Ford's...

Sorry for my bad interpretation, but are you saying you work on the autonomous software? Or you make software that isn't onboard?

Gotta be a sweet future for bikers when enough autonomous cars are on the road that they can just lane split quickly through traffic that splits apart like the Red sea for Moses. I have no doubt that it'll be easy for autonomous vehicles to be more friendly to motorcycles than human drivers...
