Linky Links

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and wanted to share.

- Uber incenting drivers to switch to Teslas.  Curious how drivers would make out on a per mile basis. Know independent cab drivers make more per mile driving an EV.

- How AI could save (not destroy) education. (Ted video)

- 10 movie actors who served in combat. I agree - Jimmy Stewart should have been on the list.

- Amazon takes minority stake in Bally sports - will stream many games on Amazon Prime.

    I found it exceedingly interesting to read that EV's effectively stopped working during this past week. I think it would kinda suck (a lot) if you were in an EV Cab when that happened. No heat and no go.
    But, sure! EV's are saving the planet.

  2. Only ran into EV cabs in the city where I imagine if it book down it would be easy to just walk away. Think Uber wants drivers to switch to EV's because it would save or make the company money - not for anyone's convenience. Meanwhile Hertz which gives people choices is selling off 20,000 Tesla's because nobody is renting them. Interesting contrast.

    Have a friend who works at a car dealer tell me to stay away from the EV's because they're not ready yet and he's too old to be experimenting with products with bugs that aren't worked out or haven't been discovered.
