So when you put your car into dog ("infant") mode and it fails and your dog ("child") dies of heat exhaustion. Tesla won't claim any responsibility for this.
My kid is 3yrs old and I got a video montage the other day entitled "how fast they grow up", it had about 2 dozen short video clips stiched together that were from longer videos I had uploaded over the past three years, ordered from the oldest to the newest (showing growing up). I was totally caught off guard by this.
It makes more sense to spend the money on a M&A than do the research yourself. Let's say you want to offer a new widget/service, you could invest $10m yourself to develop it, or you could let the VC community invest $10m per startup and then you pick the best one. Sure it may cost you most than $10m, but from a financial reporting standpoint, the millions more you spend on the acquisition is better than the $10m you'd spend on R&D. Plus, you're picking the winner out of all the startups out there. It's very likely, that the internally developed product/service you invested in isn't as good as what the startup companies have developed.
Even if you made the whole thing out of a carbon fiber bathtub, like an F1 cockpit. Getting hit by a 3000lb car would send it flying down the road, like a ping pong ball...
I'm sure that the all the restaurants within a few blocks of Uber and Twitter HQ (which are pretty much next to each other) could handle the 5000 employees pouring out of Uber and Twitter between 11:30 and 12:30.
Maybe someone can tell these lawmakers the number of cafeteria works that will be laid off...
In many schools in my area, the children are forbidden from using the phone during school hours. (Detention if the child is caught using the phone during school hours) However, after school they can use it. Also, many students ride their bike to school or their parents drive them.
Seems like students using the phone after school to let their parents know they're being delayed (my bike has a flat, come pick me up) or the parents are running late so that the other party isn't left waiting/worrying why there is a delay, is an appropriate use of the phone.
While I mourn the loss of the magsafe connector, being able to plug in the charging cable on either side of the MBP via USB-C is pretty convenient. I do wish I could use USBC on my iphone as well and then it would be one less cable/brick to carry around.
When it backs into my garage door, can I sue Tesla for a new door? What about if it doesn't pull in far enough and the garage door closes on it? Can I force Tesla to pay for new paint on the trunk?
In SF there's scooters on every corner just waiting to be used... and most aren't.
So in the driverless model, to make it so i'm not wasting time waiting for a car to take me to the store, and then another one to pick me up and take me home. Is someone going to foot the bill to have thousands of cars just sitting around waiting for someone to click "i need a ride" button on their phone?
Who cleans up the driverless car if the previous rider gets sick in it or spills their drink? If the car shows up and their a slurpee spilled on the seat, I now have to reject it and wait another X minutes for another car to show up. Not exactly something I'm willing to do if I need to get somewhere. Also, how do you budget your time when you need to take into account the variable availability of one of these cars?
I can't imagine trying to haul kids around in these things in the case when you've got a child seat. Or, you want to take your bike somewhere, and you've got to attach a bike rack to it.
When I bought my first macbook, it came with an extension cable for the charger so that it only took up one slot on the power strip. Now you get the charger "brick" with the $1000 laptop and Apple charges you $20 for the extension cable. . The cable is the only thing that carries over from mac to mac.
So now instead of being able to focus on objects near (the wings) and objects far (mountains, clouds, rivers, ocean), you get to stare at an LCD display....
Didn't some company try this a while back with windowless cars and it made people really sick?
Always served in a plastic cup, with a plastic lid and a large plastic straw that is wrapped in what else? Plastic. (Unlike normal straws which come most often in a paper wrapper.
This is gonna kill the SanFrancisco Bay Area economy.
Others have pointed out the costs of doing it yourself (internet, software updates, electricity, offsite/multi-site availability, gmail integration, physical security (like when you're on vacation). Non-Disruptive (and risk free upgrades). And using an Enterprise grade platform to provide it. All of these are rolled into that $1.99/$2.99/whatever cost per month of gDrive. Is anybody doing this without Consumer grade components (all HW + SW + internet connectivity + utilities)?
However, what is your hourly rate to be an operator/admin? If you make $75k per year, you're looking at an hourly rate of north of $35/hour. (not including vacations and such).
I'd much rather not spend my time ($$$) on doing this and leave it to the professionals. Plus when I take a vacation, I know 100% that my stuff is safe. I'm willing to pay $1.99/month, and skip one can of coke.
Every few years one of these stories comes up and this by far is the easiest/tamest of the worst jobs. The worst of these is those that are paid to review questionable content. The highly violent, disturbing content. I remember reading here that these employees often had PTSD from all the content they were reviewing.
Amazon's salaries are notoriously low because the majority of their compensation is in the form of stock. So you could get 2/3rds of your "total comp value" in the form of stock instead of a cash bonus/salary like in other companies.

Ignoring the latency, dropouts, and compression artifact issues.
Uh, those are pretty good reasons to buy your own console/PC.

Magsafe was really ingenious though.

Then Comcast will be forced to enable cable tv subscribers to get content from other pay-per-view providers (like Netflix) through the cable box.
All the juicy details are in the indictment.

So now I have to be validated just to enter the store?
Facetime and iMessage are the only two features keeping me on the apple ecosystem.
Mom and Dad can easily call their kids and with the touch of a button switch to facetime and see the grandkids.
With android, I'm not sure if you're supposed to send messages with Messages, Allo, Hangouts....

I bought a CPO BMW about 6years ago. All of the previous owners mp3s, uploaded music, contact names/phone numbers were still in the system.
BMW might do a "100 point inspection" but they don't bother to clear the previous owner's information from the system.

Allo, Chat, whatever comes next...
I'm still using hangouts since it's built into the gmail web interface and the iPhone app isn't that bad either.
