Later on today, or tonight, depending on where you live, I'll spend around 7 hours at the airport. I've got the worst kind of layover possible, at night, so nothing's open, long enough to be boring but not long enough to justify spending $100 on a h...

Elon Musk gave a wild interview to the New York Times. It's over one hour long but I still suggest you watch it, because it's quite interesting, to say the least. Everyone's familiar with Elon Musk. He's controversial, he can be bombastic at times,...
