Even when it works its awful. The 2nd row is short on room. The 3rd row is tiny. And you cannot fold the 2nd row seats so even if you fold the 3rd row down you can't fit a bike in it.

Here is a video showing how much more hauling space there is in a small LEAF than in a Model X.

And you can't even put stuff on the roof of the Model X due to the stupid doors.

Get an AWD Model S. Skip the stupid Model X.

In fact, it's closer to heating than cooling.

"Bad guys in a movie are identifiable at first glance, but how can the ones in real life be found?"

Overwhelming amounts of evidence against them, and they'll lie in the face of it, despite incontrovertible proof.

Well done Mr. AC. It also highlights both the need for civic privacy and government transparency when it comes to catching criminals. Government transparency is something I doubt we will see any time from China or the U.S.

Can't. Don't have that much time in my life left. And I'm only 38.
When robots (cause you can't outsource services for people - cause you need them where people already ARE) become able to replace medical professionals - there won't be ANY workplaces anyway.
If a robot can operate on a human, do examinations, prescribe therapies... and do it in a way that it can replace human beings without increasing the number of deaths and injuries...
Then there is no job that a robot can't do.

Apart from those creative, artistic ones.
And since we can't all be writers, singers, actors, dancers etc. - and live from it... Hello communist utopia!
Or Star Trek. But that's me repeating myself.

I mean, I'd LIKE to see that in my lifetime... but let's face it - it ain't happening. At least not for a while longer.

Amazon made that moot already.

You are confusing being a consumer to being sold something. Salesmanship (and all other -ships) is a social skill.
All that computers accomplish when trying to simulate social skills is causing irritation in humans.
Why do you think there's so much money and effort invested in advertising if "selling things" is a moot point?

There's a third category: Government jobs, where you're required to act like a robot.

Some would say that you are required to be a citizen.
But the actual underlying requirement is that you are a human being, capable of understanding (and respecting) social contracts.
Which is why no matter how many tricks an animal can perform or how good it is at being intelligent sorta-kinda like a retarded human child - it doesn't get to be a citizen.

Then again, some humans are given way too much credit under the assumption that they are capable of understanding social contracts.
Thus, you know... Trump 2016.

FYI, Hillary isn't quite a billionaire, but frankly isn't far behind.

So, when you talk about Trump's money, it makes people wonder if you are willfully blind, or just ignorant.

It's also important to note that global warming seems to be responsible for putting Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster on the endangered list. This past year was really f***ing hot; meanwhile there was only one Bigfoot sighting and there were no Loch Ness Monster sightings. Coincidence? I think not!

We must act now to stop global warming before all Bigfoot and Nessie become extinct!

p.s. Global warming is also known to reduce the number of pirates, but that might be a good thing.

If you don't want to be homeless, build a house.

Homeless generally means both "not a landowner" and "has no money" which prevents the former even if they wanted to go there.

If you don't want to be hungry, go fishing.

Buy a license, buy a pole, collect bait somehow, weather considerations, legal locations, seasons, specific game fish, prepping, finding wood to cook with...

If you want to survive, get your ass moving instead of wasting the day pseudo-intellectualizing or lamenting about the unfairness of nature that has always existed since the beginning of time when it blew the first human village up with a volcano and the laws of the universe didn't even blink, let alone give a shit.

No, the universe doesn't, for sure. But people who are worth a shit, do give a shit.

WRT "get moving", to quote a fine summary of just one aspect of the problem, "I'm pretty sure McDonald's has an underwear inside the pants policy" (Source here at 3:31 but by all means, check out the whole performance, it's pretty much spot on from beginning to end.)

A claim you utterly fail to support.

Often there are claims of "OMG! The video was edited!!!" to which not long later you find the full video (previously held back as the whole long thing isn't as concise for media consumption as the earlier clip)... and despite the evidence that the video isn't actually edited in any meaningful way.

Care to set me straight? I'd really like to see proof that they deceptively edit their work. I hear claims from the left leaners, yet still haven't seen any substantive evidence of it.

the only people convinced by that crap are people who want to be convinced.

Or the open minded... which I guess counts you out.

Until they release the entire un-edited videos no one should believe a word they say.

No. Just wrong. The jack takes about 20 seconds and makes very little noise.

I've seen someone using a die-grinder cut through 12 locks, including high-security ones in less than 15 seconds each.

Um, have you seen their Twitter feed lately? It's a nonstop feed of anti-Clinton propaganda, half of it retweets, a lot of the claims so bad that even Wikileaks supporters on the Wikileaks Reddit sub have been calling them out on it. It's morphed into Breitbart.

They're even repeating Trump's "rigged election" lines:

There is no US election. There is power consolidation. Rigged primary, rigged media and rigged 'pied piper' candidate drive consolidation.

I'd say they have some pretty good reasons for repeating it.

Or do you seriously think an Apple Intel CPU is more reliable than a Dell Intel CPU?

Never heard of Xeon? At least half of a high-end chip's reliability comes from the post-manufacture test procedure and binning standard.

At Apple's scale, they can negotiate any production standard with Intel that they wish to have. This isn't even uncommon, as companies like Google and Facebook are already negotiating custom Xeons for the datacenter, which certainly involves tweaking some internal chip firmware (e.g. changing cache allocation policies or thermal envelopes), all the way up to possibly adding specialized instructions and/or execution units.

Finally, far more problems arise from the mainboard and assembly quality than the underlying chip quality, but at the end of the day it all adds up.

Welcome to Supply Chain 501. It's not your father's Supply Chain 101.

That said, Apple (the company) is a cult-like Black Box of the highest order. When it serves their agenda, they make good products. When their agenda shifts with the winds of fashion—so long, sweet Mini—caveat emptor.

> actually seems to garner extra support from their followers by being outlandish.

I wouldn't say extra support. Trump absolutely knows his fanbase, the reality-tv loving, racially insecure (but not financially insecure, trump primary voters average $11K more in yearly income than both clinton and sanders primary voters) authoritarian-leaning types. For them it is not about policy, its about the feels and he gives them the best feels. But they only make up about 40% of the republican party, and everybody else is pretty much grossed out instead of turned on by that shit.

I think this is the key.

Ever since Trump went after the Khan family it's been obvious that the general electorate does not like Trump going after private citizens.

Yet that's exactly what he did after the first debate with Alicia Machado and again after the second debate with the women who accused him of assault.

The first debate proved that the general electorate does not like him acting unpresidential.

Yet he keeps doing it and ended the first debate by calling Hillary "a nasty woman" and creating a completely unnecessary controversy by talking about contesting the election results.

All of his advisors would have told him these were bad ideas ahead of time and would cost him votes. And it's not like they asked him to memorize the constitution word-for-word, avoiding these controversies would have been trivial.

I honestly see two main possibilities for his behaviour:

1) Trump really does have a major deficiency, either comically low levels of self-control or he's living in a massive bubble and somehow thinks these are brilliant ideas.

2) Trump has no intention of winning the election and is just trying to preserve his fortune. He lost his TV show and realizes he's destroyed the mainstream appeal of his brand (possibly his biggest asset), so he's now trying to transform his new base into a market for TrumpTV.

I wouldn't accept it either, if I were him.
