I've tried to figure out what exactly the video was trying to prove, but the audio was bad and the video was worse.
Perhaps you could tell us what exactly goes on in that video?
Having spoke to someone working at NXP during that debacle it seemed that NXP did warn them that this chip was not fit for purpose and they had better, but more expensive, solutions. We all know what happened with that advice...
To quote Isaac Asimov who put it more eloquently than I can:
“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
So, basically the protocol has been reverse engineered and successfully implemented but that manufacturing quality is sub-par? Because protocols usually don't "break" after a week.
Be that as it may, Bluetooth still uses more power then an audio jack: http://www.muada.com/2014/10-2...
And that's not even counting the fact that this just covers transmission. You have even higher power requirements when you take the battery on the other end into account, but of course you won't notice that in the battery life on your phone
And there's the nagging question who the US and China rather deal with. The EU, second largest gdp in the world. Or the UK,not the powerhouse it once was
Well of course it will only work when you have a profitable market. No-one deals with North Korea for that reason. That's about as insightful as saying the sun will come up tomorrow in countries that have had a night today.
I always see this over regulating proposed as well, but that goes for every country : they all have regulations to make sure their internal market has a level and safe playing field. Even China has rules and regulations.
And as for banking reform. I believe the UK blocked that one...
Seriously?
Germany is the EU powerhouse, has been for decades. Not the UK.
Also, Wales voted leave. Scotland and Northern Ireland voted stay. So if anything they'll be rejoining the EU.
I know Europe is far away, but at least try to get relevant information before posting.
The EU was formed to end the wars in Europe, right after WW2. In that respect it did marvelous and I for one don't mind paying for that privilege. The EU isn't perfect by far, but it beats the alternative
You do realise it's already a class D amp? Anything else won't run of a battery. So parents posts still stands, you need the dac and amp which, even as class D, produce analog output
There's more to ensure then just driver liability. Vandalism is also a major reason to insure your car. And most of the premium in car insurances goes to cover the risk and guestimated possible future repair costs. If risk goes down the premium goes down. Simple as that. Same with houses, you pay a lot more premium if you have a thatched roof instead of something less flammable. There are already experiments with driver data influencing premium. i.e. you drive slower you get lower premium.
And how are you going to get these years of study and proven reliability without some serious deploy of these technologies? Besides, these techniques where available and in use since the nineties at least. That gave us the data to go ahead right now.
So you don't want it, good for you! I have to ask though, because I see similar posts like this (and yours twice now), are you actually hauling 7 people, a ton of cargo and a 4 ton trailer on a regular base? If not, then why did you buy something like that? It seems a very US-ian thing to do, I never heard people in Europe buying a car that does more then they need for regular day-to-day work. It's quite common to just hire the required vehicle for the one day a year most people would need such a thing.
Since you've commented a couple of times in this thread regarding this exact issue: could you please link to a source? I've searched but came up empty handed.
You do realize the difference between absolute and relative right? The "1%" might pay more in absolute terms yes. But what people have a problem with is that the medium-sized incomes pay WAY more taxes relatively so a much, much larger chunk of their income is gone. Whereas the top incomes have much less of a tax burden.
I say that it is unfair to tax income of people who produce in the first place. Tax those who do not produce and who go out and steal, that's my position. Tax them, force them to repay everything they steal. But of-course this is too obvious to be accepted, because you will never make enough money that way to create the welfare state that you are rooting for every time you say that there has to be payment one way or another to those who will steal and murder.
Taking this to it's logical conclusion: there will be no more roads, police, fire department, army, etc. Everything that's now payed by the state will have insufficient funds to be continued because everyone that produces (ie, the working population) will not be taxed.
I believe some countries in Africa use this kind of "government", if you can call it that what with nothing being governed as such.
I suppose I won't convince you with a simple post. But I like to think of my taxes as "buying civilization" and I'll happily pay for the less fortunate in society from my relatively well off position if that means our society as a whole becomes stronger, safer and a better place to live. Adding to that, it's also one less thing to worry about, if I'm ever not able anymore to work, either because my job will become redundant because of technological advances or because (heaven forbid) fall ill I won't have to live on the street.

Nope, BMW i3 is one. It's bloody expensive for what you get but hey, BMW
Out of interest, why not use C#?
I have to disagree. In theory yes, but in practise I've had mismatched because just past was not just past enough. Blame mismatched tolerances I guess

Which isn't even a real project. Just something the leave camp tried to slander the remain camp with.

You're the first person I hear saying Tesla makes subpar cars. Do you have any links to corroborate those claims?

You do realise that thats a fairly standard thing in the rest of the world outside of the USA right?
Isn't that how we ended up with Australia?
Why is it then, that you better be Christian if you hope to attain any position of power in the good 'ol USA? Talk about superficial secularity.
