Except it's not that the phone will fail to boot following a sensor replacement. The phone will continue to boot, and the sensor will continue to take fingerprint scans happily for days, weeks, or months until such a point that the user chooses to accept the next software update, or performs a wipe. So Apple's FUD about this being a way to lock out a potentially insecure link in the chain is BS.
My 2012 Jetta with a standard transmission comes pretty close... Reverse is to the extreme upper left, past the first/second slot. Theoretically, you have to push the nob down to engage over to it, but the amount of force and travel downwards is trivial that often, in the effort to put it into first, I end up in reverse. Visually, there isn't much difference either. Many times, I thought that I was in first, when I was actually in Reverse.
I don't think your numbers are accurate. I've know a couple of Hollywood writers. They tend to get a lot of money for a script. Most of their scripts get locked up in hold options, and never even get made. This is in the order of 100's of thousands of dollars, and it's all to them (minus the cut to their agent, manager, taxes, etc). The special effects, while in the millions, is a lot more money, is spread over a very large team, hardware investments etc.
If you miss mess up the syntax in a text configuration file (misplace a quote or brace, etc) at best, the items after the error will be ignored. At worst (and more likely) the entire config file will be either ignored and go with defaults, all just not load the module that depends on it altogether. If you make an error in a registry key (text when it expects an integer, etc) the rest of the registry is fine.
Any government subsidies to the electric car industry pale in comparison to those of the petroleum industry. Not to mention the ICE auto manufacturers who DID go bankrupt, and were already bailed out by the government. Do you have any citation for Tesla about to go bankrupt?
In actuality, you could get Netflix, binge watch all the shows you want to over a period of a few months, then cancel netflix and get huluplus, binge watch all the shows on that service that you want for a few months, repeat repeat repeat. There's no reason to maintain an active subscription to all of them at once.
Except the cars have been getting BETTER than advertised MPG for the past 5 years. Only when the full emissions controls are put on do they go down to the advertised MPG. So, there is no false advertising to the consumer if they get re-flashed and suddenly get 20% poorer fuel economy. The only false advertisement has been to the rest of society, who was expecting a car that had 1/40th of the NOx emissions that it actually spewed.
Full retail value on a 5 year old car? On what basis? How was the owner harmed in any way for the last 5 years and 80k miles? They received everything that they paid for. More, in fact, since the affected cars actually enjoyed 20% higher fuel economy than the EPA ratings. The harm only comes now in degraded performance, higher maintenance costs, and reduced resale value due to any pending 'fix'. If a 2009 Jetta TDI had a resale value of $12k 2 weeks ago, and now it's worth $7k then the total remediation from VW to the buyer should be $5k.

I do just this. I would often rip my kids' DVD's and reburn them without the annoying forced previews and anti-piracy nag screens. After a while, I figured out that it was much easier to just download the torrent in about 15 minutes, than it was to go through the hassle of figuring out what ripping software could get around the DRM and copy protection, and ripping it. There are probably a couple of DVD's still in the original shrink-wrap that I haven't actually touched the DVD.
Even if our electricity today doesn't come from predominantly green sources, moving to an electric automobile fleet allows us to more flexibly power our cars. ICE engines confine you to fossil fuels, methane (which can be green), and hydrogen (in the most inefficient way to use it...) Electric cars can use any of these power sources in the most efficient way, as well as solar, wind, geothermal, whatever. We need to overcome energy storage, recharge time, and cost disparities to meet performance parity with fossil fuel ICE's, but having an electric automotive fleet is good for society, even if only 13% of our electricity currently comes from renewables.
Have you ever crossed the street in a large city? When you have the walk signal, cars also have a green light in your direction of travel. A car would likely be waiting until opposing traffic clears to make a left turn onto the street that you are crossing. Very often, cars will hit the gas as soon as traffic passes, not paying attention to the pedestrians crossing the street. The pedestrians did nothing wrong. There were no cars coming when they crossed.
There are costs to handling cash, as well. A business pays fees for guarded transport, security guards, and higher insurance premiums if they deal in a lot of it. So, as the parent said, those CC fees are spread across the board to all customers, but think of it as a money handling fee that has applications across all methods of payment.
I've had mine for a month now. I figured that considering the reviews as a decent Bluetooth speaker, that alone made it worth the $99 pre-order price. The voice recognition is excellent- better than Siri or Google. I've found it useful as a kitchen tool (set timer, tell me the forecast, give me a news briefing, etc) I don't think that I'd pay $200 though, because I can get a similar quality Bluetooth speaker for much less than that, but at $99, the 'gimmicks' are a nice added bonus.
Really? BMW i3 is $40k which, while certainly higher than the median new car price of $33k, is still 'within the ballpark'. I'm seeing them more frequently in my middle-class town. If you want to go below the median, you can get the Nissan Leaf for $30k. The VW e-Golf is $33k, and the Ford Focus Electric is $29k. Of course you CAN go high-end with the Tesla for $70k, but that's the exception, not the rule. And these prices are all before any tax credits.
It's not a myth. The problem is someone who is consuming 2500-3000 calories a day will be on a slow weight gain trend with no exercise. When they start exercising, and are now burning 500 calories a day, they would otherwise start to lose weight. But often, the mentality is that they want to reward themselves for their exercise, and have a an extra helping at dinner, and/or a nice desert, and that extra beer. And now they've compensated or exceeded that 500 calories that they burned, and wonder why they haven't lost any weight.
I lost 40 pounds a few years ago simply by cutting my calories. I consumed half of what I would normally eat. If I would normally have a bagel at breakfast, I ate half a bagel. If I was going to have pizza for dinner, I would have 1 slice, instead of the 2 or 3 slices that I would normally eat. It took 3 months, but I lost the weight with no exercise. After I took the weight off, I decided I wanted to eat again because I like it, so now I run 20 miles a week, and have gone back (mostly) to the same level of eating I was at before.
Google Play's origins were the Android Market, which was announced in August 2008 and launched in October 2008 , but that doesn't preclude your statement that the Apple App Store came first.
I think it's a problem with some of the file preview code. When you click on a folder, Explorer scans each file to get preview info- picture date, resolution, length for an mpg file, etc. If I delete the folder while this is being done, I will get errors that the file is in use, and that can persist for several minutes.

Yes, but as with patent applications, adding "...on a computer." makes it completely unrelated to anything prior.

RTFA. He's saying that even with their gigafactory, batteries will still be a bottleneck. He wants VW to build their own battery factory.

And where is your hydrogren coming from? And what are the energy losses to store it in an automobile compared to a chemical battery?
