Just to throw my 2 cents here.
My brief but meaningful interaction with Arram and the team at ZeroCater was nothing short of exceptional. Exceptional care for their service and customer, exceptional determination and conviction. They are an intensely likeable people.
All the best Arram!
I found it extremely hard to believe that is the case based on 3 things:
1. I've seen many comments suggesting that the parking lot is well lit in the night and the Supercharger is especially easy to spot and hard to miss, which directly contradicts to what Broader claims: "dark, unlighted, not marked".

2. Here is a video of how well-lit and easy to spot: [2](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3fO_OHpyYw)
3. Here is the Google map: [3](http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Milford,+Conn.,+supercharger&#...) If Google's data is to be trusted, each loop is less than 100m, and 0.6miles is roughly 10 laps.
Realistic scenario for driving around and lost? I think not.
No, the announcement you had in mind is related to the findings from Curiosity on Mars.
I am always baffled by this "best==most expensive, therefore by looking for the best you have to be a spoiled rich person" mindset.
Some of the best tools I've owned cost less than the average tools you can find at Walmart.
And if I may expend the discussion to softwares (which are also tools to me), some of the best software tools I love are free -- vim for eg.
I can't speak for him/her but it seems to me the point is that computer languages, while being all-purpose, are products of countless conscious design decisions of their creators. And thus by the nature of design, tradeoffs are inevitable.
So I think the (even just sometimes) discussion of "good language" should be limited to the context of purpose and goal of the said language, which is similar to "choosing the right language for the task".
Very curious, why do you think geeking out on politics, sports, instruments, computers is generally negative?
Are we geeking out on "geeking out"? Should we stop?
I don't find golang site ugly at all, especially when compared with http://www.ruby-lang.org/en
It's still indexing as far as I can tell.
I found it surprising Woz would support Daisey, given what Woz said on his upbringing in Jobs' bio. He said his father taught him to never lie, and therefore he grew up with almost absolute honesty, which gives him troubles sometime. It's rather odd that a person who values honesty so much would support Daisey.
I was there too :) It was such a fun talk, especially the part where in the end of the demo video, the squirrel stopped caring about the water cannon anymore, and decided to steal food while getting sprayed on. I wonder if there is a better way to deter them instead of bigger water cannons?
