Also, it appears that Voyager 2 was launched before Voyager 1, according to Wikipedia... So maybe they had problems with Voyager 1 from the very beginning.
"It was launched 16 days before its 'twin', Voyager 1"
I guess unless Voyager 0 is the final goal. Either way, NASA is not using money efficiently.
Even if we had a backup probe to launch right now, it would take 46 years for it to get to where voyager 1 is now. How is the cost of repairing voyager 1 greater than 46 years of lost data?
Google search has gone to shit since Google+ .... or more precisely, when they removed the plus operator in Google search around 2011. And no, the quotes aren't as good.
My bet is that Google will become "Google TV" and search won't be possible. They will just show you what they want. They'll probably frame it as "AI knows what you want to see".
Maybe they should ban Google instead of TikTok (I don't use either though).
That's not how I understand it. They want him to make good decisions to make his shares' value go up for when he will be allowed to sell them. Which kind of make sense but I'm not sure.
I never seen an IRC server that only support SSL.... I don't use many networks nowadays though... I only know of one channel that supports encrypted DCC transfers though.
when I rented a Tesla, by mistake, because they didn't have any other cars available, charging was definitely the problem. They charged me the same price as their cheapest cars, but it still ended up being more expensive because of charging (I paid about $900 for 3 weeks of charging at Tesla's stations, and it would probably would have cost me $300 with a small gasoline car)
In other words, you gotta be stupid to rent a Tesla unless you do it just for fun.
> I paid about $900 for 3 weeks of charging at Tesla's stations
Huh. Did you rent a Tesla and then have to pay separately for the privilege of using Tesla's charging network?
I've had a Tesla for years and what you paid for 3 weeks is comparable for what I've paid at superchargers the entire time I've owned the car (I mostly charge at home). It seems you did get ripped off, it just seems like it would be difficult to pay that much in three weeks at superchargers alone. There must have been some special surcharge (as it were).
Not OP but you do have to pay separately. Although as you say, that's a crazy amount for just 3 weeks. In my experience I was charged about $100 for two weeks of regular use + one roadtrip from Miami to Orlando and back.
Maybe it was just idle fees, that seems like it could go up by a lot if you leave the vehicle on the station:
>For every additional minute a vehicle remains connected to the Supercharger, it will incur an idle fee.
I always charged at Tesla's stations because I never was home, and the charges was a surprise at the end of the rental because they charged me only once when I returned the car... no clue if they ripped me off because it was the first time I used electric car chargers and didn't pay close attention to the receipt.
I know it would have been a whole lot cheaper if I had my own charger though.
Assuming $0.48 per kilowatt, that's 1875kW.
At 7 km per kW that is 13 thousand kilometers or 8 thousand miles.
That is about 400 miles per day every day in 3 weeks. Wow.
A hypothetical Toyota Camry, btw, would have consumed more than $900 worth of fuel.
