Some of the used EVs are rather affordable—the cheapest Model 3 is just $20,125. A long-range Model Y will cost a fair bit more than that, although even here, the most expensive one for sale by Hertz is just $38,116. As a reminder, there is now a tax credit of up to $4,000 available when buying a used EV that costs less than $25,000, assuming one meets the income caps.

But they are all ex-rental cars, and that means most of these cars have had relatively hard lives and now have plenty of miles on them—the cheaper Model 3s are all closing in on 100,000 miles. Not all of them, though—in New Orleans, there's a Kia EV6 up for sale with just under 5,000 miles.

Who is going to pay upwards of $20,000 for a car with nearly 100,000 miles on it?

The network thing is great until Ed finds out the torque wrench Jim uses doesn't operate properly because it has been infected with malware for an undetermined period of time.

US carriers didn't want to do that because it means the cockpit needs its own lavatory, displacing a few passenger seats.

Did they say that to the FAA?

The article says that:

Homendy’s revelation echoes criticism heaped on Boeing during earlier probes of another in the 737 MAX line of planes, the MAX 8, in which pilots said they were not properly trained on a flight control system on board the plane that was implicated in two deadly crashes overseas. In 2020, pilots were required to undergo new simulator training and training for erroneous angle of attack sensor malfunctions as part of the plan to put the 737 MAX back into service.

I don’t understand why people are defending AI companies sucking up all human knowledge by saying “well, yeah, copyrights are too long anyway”.

Would you characterize projects like wikipedia or the internet archive as "sucking up all human knowledge"?
