Disturbing testimony from an ex-cop. ?
Being a cop showed me just how racist and violent the police are. There’s only one fix.
We don’t need more training. Bad cops need to be punished.

Watch UPS make a 4-year-old’s dream come true
Carson is adorable, UPS is awesome, and you should grab a box of tissues before you watch this. The four-year-old becomes a brown-truck driver for a day.

A San Francisco-based writer for Wired discovers that today's electric cars are not a silver bullet
If you can't afford a $100,000 Tesla Model S (and let's face it the vast majority of us cannot) you probably really shouldn't even consider an EV unless you have a dedicated place to plug it in daily.
https://sam.abuelsamid.com/2014/10/08/2014-nissan-leaf-review-its-remarkably-normal/#1
In his article Alex Davies even mentions the people that carry the charging cord with them and plug in surreptitiously to accessible 110-volt outlets when they can't find a 220-volt charger. This isn't really practical most of the time because the charge rate at 110 is slow that a Nissan Leaf will take 30 hours to fully charge. For many people an EV is a great option, but it's definitely not for everyone. ?
Until the public infrastructure improves, people who can’t plug in overnight are in for a very serious headache.

Use secure passwords and remember them with Lastpass?
LastPass is an online password manager and form filler that makes web browsing easier and more secure.
Once upon a time, F1 designers were actually allowed to use their imagination to innovate
Of course many of the most successful innovations end up getting banned sooner rather than later, but at least they had the opportunity to try. As an aside, Keke Rosberg's F1 championship in 1982 was one of the clearest cases ever of "to finish first, first you must finish"?
No, that picture up top is not some kind of weirdo photochop. It’s a real prototype F1 car, the last six-wheeler. Oddly, it set few a track records, though it never raced.

Business Insider took a look at origins of Tesla Motors
I covered a lot of the same ground in my own past writings about the company, but this pulls together a lot the material in one concise narrative. Tesla almost certainly wouldn't have ever made it to production without Elon Musk, but it was hardly a one man show.
