Republican plan to replace Obamacare: what's new in it? Posted: 10 Mar 2017 12:44 PM PST Congress is currently debating long-awaited legislation endorsed by US President Donald Trump that replaces his predecessor's health care reforms with what supporters hail as a more free-market, patient-centered system. Trump insisted Friday it was time to "act now to save Americans from the imploding Obamacare disaster," while architects of the new plan call it a crucial pivot away from government intervention and toward Republican policies. Here are key points about the current health care system, which is credited with helping 20 million Americans acquire coverage but has been blamed for rising premiums and other costs -- and the proposed changes in the Republican substitute.

China-U.S. trade war would only cause pain: commerce minister Posted: 11 Mar 2017 04:18 AM PST A trade war between China and the United States would only cause pain, China's commerce minister said on Saturday, as analysts say the spectre of deteriorating U.S.-China ties is likely to weigh on confidence of exporters and investors worldwide.

"At the same time, the United States can't live without China," Zhong said, adding that in the past ten years, the growth of U.S. exports to China has outpaced the growth of Chinese exports to the United States.

T-Mobile adds more data to its unlimited plan before it starts throttling you Posted: 11 Mar 2017 12:03 PM PST So far, 2017 has seen more changes to cellphone plans than the last five years before. In the space of a couple of weeks, all the big carriers suddenly started offering unlimited data plans for reasonable prices. AT&T even removed its ridiculous triple-play requirement for unlimited customers, which was generous. For T-Mobile, which started the unlimited data trend last year, it didn't seem like things could get much better. But the entry of Verizon and AT&T forced it to remove the last real restrictions on the data plan, meaning that you can use hotspot data or watch HD video. ' But one thing all the unlimited plans have in common is a soft cap. Once you go over a monthly threshold of data usage, you're subject to being throttled at peak times. It's a "soft cap" rather than a data limit, because you aren't cut off from data, and there's no overage charge. Whichever way you slice it, though, it's still a limit of some kind. For T-Mobile customers, that limit just went up. The threshold for throttling used to be 28GB per month, and that's now been raised to 30GB. If you hit that level of data usage in a month, you will be "deprioritized" at peak times. That means other customers will be given priority, and in crowded locations, that's going to mean your data slows way down. The 2GB increase might not sound like much, but it moves T-Mobile way into first place for total data allowance. AT&T and Verizon put their cap at 22GB, while Sprint's at 23GB. Those are still generous allowances, and you're not guaranteed to have permanently slow internet after hitting the cap, but it's worth thinking about for particularly heavy data users.

Rare photos and video of a Tesla Model 3 prototype surface online Posted: 10 Mar 2017 01:52 PM PST When Elon Musk unveiled the Model 3 nearly a year ago, he made a point of noting that the final design was still a work in progress. And with good reason, the Model 3 we saw last March has a curiously absent instrument cluster, not to mention some problems with the vehicle's trunk design. Since then, Tesla engineers and designers have been busy refining and enhancing the company's highly anticipated EV. With deliveries still slated to begin by the end of the year, there have been reports that the final design is either set in stone or close to being so. In fact, Tesla during its recent letter to shareholders said that it began building Model 3 prototypes just last month. Of course, with Tesla being a company that prizes secrecy as much as Apple does, it's been quite some time since we've seen what the current incarnation of the Model 3 looks like. Not to worry, some eagle-eyed Redditors recently spotted a Model 3 prototype out in the wild and posted a few photos for our viewing pleasure. The photo below, for example, features the Model 3 chilling close to Tesla's design studio. It doesn't look vastly different from what we've seen before, but it's not too often that we see a Model 3 out in the wild. As a point of reference, the Model 3 is said to be about 20% smaller than the Model S. Additionally, we also came across an Instagram post which showcases the Model 3 in action. It's not anything groundbreaking, but with all of the hype and anticipation surrounding the vehicle, even the tiniest bit of news is worth checking out. https://www.instagram.com/p/BRb1TJyFFsX/ Tesla of course has a long history of product delays, so it will be interesting to see if the Model 3 actually ships on time. For what it's worth, Musk has intimated that the Model 3 requires a simpler manufacturing process which should help alleviate the type of quality control problems that plagued the Model X. As a final note, one looming and still unanswered question regarding the Model 3 centers on what the dashboard will ultimately look like. As evidenced, the interior of the Model 3 prototype Tesla originally introduced looked like this. For what it's worth, Musk has indicated that the company may have some interesting plans in store to address the above-design. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/716713294128500737?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw
