They were choosing to limit capacity via software since not everyone who wanted to buy a Tesla could afford the 75kWh model. For that reason, they decided to offer a couple of software downgraded 60kWh models for, IIRC, $4,500 and $9,000 less which could be upgraded OTA if the difference was paid at any point in the future.
They've since stopped selling the software downgraded models since they've released the less expensive Model 3.
NEVER agree to the search! You probably know that now but, this is for anyone else out there. Tell them about the incense if you have to, hell, make a joke about it but, don't let them search your car.
To remove a Federal Court judge, you have to impeach them in the Senate (since they're appointed for life or until they retire). The Supreme Court doesn't have that power.

If you have a smartphone on any (American) 4G network, you're using IPv6 (with a NAT IPv4 address in dual-stack configuration) and have been for a couple years now. Mobile networks were NAT'ed all to hell and back, they needed the address space more than anyone else.
That website explains that the extra 7 hours is there to deal with leap days that would otherwise throw off the hourly rates of salaried employees as averaged over a twenty-eight year period (with the exception of non-leap year century years like 1800, 1900, 2100, etc. our calendar cycles every twenty-eight years).
It's possible to set up a VPN on an in home wireline internet connection and VPN to it. I fondly remember setting up something like that to get around the proxy at my high school back in the day.

Re: Re: They won't stop with the homes of those convicted of crimes.
As per usual, generalities tend to leave holes to be exploited. If someone is in my home and I've asked them to leave and they then make a credible attempt on my life, I'm completely within my rights to defend myself with deadly force here in Michigan. In some states (Texas comes to mind first here) just them refusing to leave after being asked to do so gives one the right to use deadly force.
Be careful where you are when you make your statement, especially if you decide to live by it. Otherwise, you may not live long. I always try to know the limits of self-defense law in places that I plan to visit, it just seems like a good way to avoid the potential of injury to myself on one side and potential jail time on the other.
Specific definitions of what speeds qualify as "broadband" was given to the FCC since technology changes too quickly to leave that job to Congress. Necessary speed of response is the reason for most of the rule-making duties that Congress has delegated to various governmental agencies.
An FAQ attached to the rules states that they apply to pseudonymous and anonymous posts too. It says that they do this because they've received complaints about employees pseudonymous and anonymous posts in the past that were somehow linked to those individuals.
Re: Re: That's for the serfs of the monarchy to endure. Without a 2nd Amendment, that's all they can do, endure.
To be honest, the Queen does have quite a bit of statutory power in the UK. However, if any monarch ever improperly used any of that power, I think it would be quickly removed.
The last time she used her prerogative to prevent something from being discussed in Parliment for example, was to keep Parliment from bypassing her and joining the US in Iraq. In hindsight, that was a pretty good decision so, no revolution.
I just wonder if we'll see Google preemptively pull out the "Nuclear Option" for a day or two just to show everyone what would happen. You know, drop all NMA members from the index for 24-48 hours just to see how much it hurts everyone for that to happen.
Doing something like that in a market like the US would hurt Google but, I think they'd come out the other side without too much damage. How well would the smaller members of the NMA fare though? How much of their traffic comes from Google searches or from people using Chrome address bar auto-complete without the site in their history (that uses Google search by default)?
As an aside, why are they bothering Facebook at all? Does Facebook post things? Every news article I've ever seen on Facebook was posted by a user. If a snippet tax becomes law, I fully expect Facebook to detect links that would be subject to it and, just like they charge pages for sending updates to all followers, grey-out the post button and note that the website requests a fee to post links to it and charge that fee straight to users (transparency for the win!) No link, should mean no money for the publisher and also, no hundreds or thousands of people clicking on the article.
