  1. We do it all the time, it's never a problem.

  2. Who is to blame is completely beside the point. It is a problem enough that it is happening.

  3. I thought it was normal for a 2x4 to actually measure 1.5x3.5 because of the planing that happens or somesuch.

    I'd rather live on welfare than have a minimum wage job.

    That's primarily the reason why so many people are stuck on welfare. The only thing available to you to come off welfare is a minimum wage job, and it's getting worse and worse each year. As automation increases, even these jobs are gone and the welfare pit gets even deeper.

    Ask a student who needs to pay for tuition how much of a good thing it is you selfish dick.

  6. Tesla seems to be the company of OH LOOK A SQUIRREL!

  7. Teslas are advertised to be fully equipped for level 5 autonomous driving, that is what I meant. My point was, if they can't make it park, with all the equipment there already, then they really have no idea how to get started with autonomous driving. They're not even clear on the 5% easiest part yet.

    Don't you have a laptop somewhere to store most of your library on? Are you really that lazy that you can't swap some songs once a month? Doesn't iTunes have functions to build a random playlist for you and sync your device with it?

  9. Except there is open sky to fly a plane in, so autopilot can be used for a vast proportion of the flight. Driving on a road is more like flying through a mountain range. If planes could only fly through mountain ranges, then autopilot probably wouldn't even have put into planes. And I still wonder what the point is of putting it in a car if you have to pay attention all the time anyway. Human minds wander if they are not active and people can't be blamed for that.

  10. Tesla is enjoying all kinds of hype right now, you expect them to let a little thing like truthful advertising destroy it all? Next you'll be saying something like the Tesla 3 won't fly on first release!

    How come when people insist that driving is hard and that autonomous driving is not around the corner, people say "driving isn't that hard". Yet when people are surprised that Autopilot can't simply pull over, people say "oh but that is really hard". So which is it? Sorry, for a car that is supposed to be ready for autonomous driving, this is pig shit. Parking may be hard, but it is nowhere near all the other situations it needs to deal with in traffic.

    If you can't fill 90 minutes with 50Gb of movies you must be the most restless person ever.

  13. Not much point to autonomous driving if it can't park as well.

  14. Buying a car with autopilot seems like buying a computer that can only work with three digit numbers.

  15. And they say we are so close to full autonomous driving

  16. Because Autopilot is nothing more than an expensive party trick.

  17. Because thats the entire sales point of Autopilot?

    You have a very simplified view of worth. A person with no skills can inherit money. A person with skills may not be able to afford an education that will get the attention of top paying companies. A person may be highly skilled but unable to market themselves effectively or find a place that values all of their skills. Heck their earning potential may be limited simply by geography and family responsibilities. There is a very low correlation to how skilled a person is and how much they earn.

    Why do you need more than 128Gb on a phone? Genuinely curious.

    I'm happy with OnePlus simply because they're the phone that doesn't *WAY* over charge you for 128Gb storage.

    Is this a joke? I recently traded in my Note 5 on an extended warranty and they didn't have any left so I got $800 cash for it, turned around and bought a OnePlus 3T and kept the extra $200+.

    Then let the economy be free and price goods according to their global average, not according to what the people in that country can pay for them.
