Make them help around the house on chores beyond what you would normally expect from them to earn money. Then it's their choice what they ultimately spend it on. You may have to hold your nose, but if you have done it right and given them real life money for the work, they will come to understand how useless those purchases are versus the work they needed to do to get that money.
Also, what do I do when the keyboard fails and the repair program is over? So much for the whole theory that macbooks last longer and so have a higher resale value.
Is the state testing attention span as part of their driver licensing? If a person loses focus after, say, an hour of doing nothing, are they denying licenses?
The thing that is flawed is that Tesla doesn't seem to be willing to acknowledge common human traits. A car is requires a human to interact with it properly in order to not kill or injure anyone. Humans have flaws, yet Tesla seems to think they can pick the ones that they should feel liable for even though these human flaws are well known and completely predictable. They are acknowledging technology can augment a human to make them a better driver, yet failing to acknowledge that their technology just brings out the flaw of having poor reaction times when not being completely engaged with the driving.
This seems completely ironic to me. All this device does is stop the warning to put the drivers hands on the wheel. It does not make Autopilot safer or any less safe. Nor is there any way to determine whether a person is using Autopilot properly without one of these devices. Prohibiting these products seems to be a band-aid solution, when the real problem is that Autopilot is so easily misused in the first place.
Static typing is preferable to developers who are control freaks. Not all of us are. Personally I don't mind it but I don't need my hand held on it either.
That doesn't really make sense.. I realize the use case between Java and Python are a bit different, but not that different. Other then being better at multi threading, what is possible in Java that is not possible in Python?
Taxis in my area also have washable seats, and an emergency strobe and plexiglass shield for the driver. They are also contracted to have at least one waiting at most hotels and the airport, so if you need one you can just walk to the nearest hotel.
I sense there is a catch-22 here. If they were able to write a simulator capable of using some sort of chaos theory to produce any possible situation that may occur in he real world, wouldn't they know how to write an AI engine that could anticipate any possible situation in a self driving car?
They have likely had an opportunity to record the types of occurrences you are talking about already, and it hasn't gotten them very far. I'm not pretending I know what percentage of possible world scenarios they need in order to be 'safe enough'. I just know that they need a lot more than they are getting, and that it is a problem that they don't seem to know what that level is.
Slashdot Mirror
And apparently he has mod points today.
I still haven't seen any smartphones with sharp corners.
Because Musk can do no wrong.
Lol that this got upvoted 'Informative'.

Fortunately I didn't pay, but it was more than $1200.
They are replacing with the same keyboard that will break again.
How did you do that without mangling the case? I have scratches from putting mine on top of a wicker/wood basket.
If the current keyboards are sealed, why did Apple just get a patent two months ago for a sealed keyboard design?

I still have to give up my laptop for three days to a week, which I can't afford to do.

Did that answer the question? Did that answer anything? Now I'm hungry.

Unless you need a lot of speed it doesn't matter. Plus if I wanted speed, I'd use C or C++ anyway.

Symantec Antivirus is the one I ran into
Then you come across a product that is only compatible with 'Oracle Java'...
Well, if anyone wonders why people use Python instead of Java, here is a pretty damn big reason.
In other news, Apple makes 100% more profit on wireless accessories. And the sheep just keep on buying it.
