Tesla’s abrupt decision to kill its Solar Roof has left the third-party contractors who sold and installed the product absorbing the fallout — including some who told Electrek they sank hundreds of thousands of dollars into the program and now have little to show for it.

Tesla stopped supplying the solar tiles in August, notifying its network of certified installers that it would ship only conventional solar panels going forward.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said he had “no hard feelings about President Donald Trump repeatedly bashing him during the 2016 campaign and branding him ‘Lyin’ Ted,’ with the Texas conservative saying it proved Trump was the linguistic equivalent of a martial arts sensei,” Mediaite reports.

When Twitter launched, it was originally designed to be just like an open protocol. In the early days, the company eagerly supported third party development, building on that protocol.

To completely understand computer security, it’s vital to step outside the fence and to think outside the box. Computer security is not just about firewalls, Intrusion Prevention Systems, or anti-viruses. It’s also about tricking people into doing whatever a hacker wishes.

The electric dirt bike/e-moto market has developed a pretty obvious split over the last few years. On one end, there’s a seemingly endless supply of inexpensive no-name machines with questionable components and varying levels of quality. On the other, there are legitimately impressive machines from established brands, but they tend to come with prices to match.

After spending several hours riding one off-road, I think Juiced may have just created one of the best performance-per-dollar electric dirt bikes on the market.
