They are already obviously lying about an employee being hit because it was taking the plate number, maybe except if the employee is almost legally blind. Why would I also believe they got inside the fence?
I don't see how you determined that they were "obviously lying". Afterall, the Sheriff's department thought there was enough evidence to arrest the journalists.
Why do you think it's implausible for events to have happened as the Tesla employees claimed? Do you think it's impossible that they were using a cell phone to record the license plate as they claimed?
As the Tesla employee attempted to record the license plate number on the rear bumper, the driver put it in reverse and accelerated into the Tesla employee, knocking him over, causing him to sustain a blow to the left hip, an approximate 2” bleeding laceration to his right forearm, a 3” bleeding laceration to his upper arm, and scrapes on both palms.
But if you are planning to run away with police hot on your tail, it is better to be on a fully fueled Jeep. It sucks if you have to plan your escape hopping super charger to super charger station.
Elon Musk is not going to taking it lying down. Next soft update will allow you to easily access "being chased by police, plot best route using super charger" mode. Time is the essence in those situation, you don't want this buried three levels deep in menu. You want a hot one-click icon prominently in the opening screen.
You'll never out-last the police in a sustained chase, you need to out-accelerate and out-maneuver them before they have a chance to identify you and/or call in more chase vehicles or air support.
It says in TFA they climbed a fence marked "private property" in order to take the pictures. It's hard to climb a fence while carrying a Jeep. Ergo the Jeep was most likely parked outside the grounds of the factory.
Or the grounds of the factory extend beyond the fenced in area and they were confronted after they left the fenced-in area but while their jeep was still parked on factory property.
That's an odd way of saying "you're right, a taxi/uber is what I want". In case you cannot tell, I'm saying that that fully autonomous subway is not as autonomous as you think it is.
It should be -- there's no reason (other than unions) a subway should have human drivers. Many airport trains around the world are fully autonomous, so should transit trains.
safe autonomy that is fully interactive: The car does what I want it to do, and only when I want it to do it."
Sure, if I own the car it should do only what I want it to when I want it to, but why should I own a car at all? I use a car only a few times a month, driving maybe 5000 miles/year total. Why should I spend $30,000 on a depreciating asset and devote 200 sq ft of space towards housing it.
I want to call a car and have it come when I want it, take me where I want to go, then go away until I need it again.
did you seriously just call copying files to a hard drive 'upload'? *facepalm*
No, he called copying files to a NAS an "upload" - plug it in an upload your files to the device, seems like a reasonable use of the term. What do you call it?
Yes, it's a lock in service. Pretty much nobody factored *that* into their "AWS is cheap" equation. Best part is there's no way out... you either pay the pay-as-you-go fee for the data, or you bite the bullet and pay the huge lump sum to get data out. There's no leaving it sit on a shelf gathering dust option.
That may prompt more companies to start erasing old data though...
If $1700 to export 50TB of data is too expensive for you, is that 50TB of data really all that valuable to you? It'll cost you $350/month just to keep it in Glacier, and you'd be hard pressed to store it yourself (with the same level of durability) for less than that.
Even without the detour, what are the security ramifications of connecting a foreign device to your network? Its from Amazon, they have an image to protect, but what if they get hacked or the packaged gets switched/tampered with en route? The device can silently start making its way around your network collecting data you didn't want to upload.
I'll take off my aluminum Faraday beanie cap now.
If you plug a foreign device into a port that has unfettered access to your network, you'll get what you deserve.
The boxes in which these hard drives ship will be obvious that they're from Amazon. It's an invitation to thieves to steal the boxes and the data on the hard drives. I can't understand why ANYONE would ship data of any value in this manner.
The data is encrypted by the tool that copies data to the device. It doesn't seem like it would take too many thefts before UPS/FedEx roots out their thieving employees.
What a load of stereotypical bollocks. I'm a man, and I don't accept or give abuse at work. If someone is rubbish, I'll tell them politely and professionally what they need to change, and if they continue to be rubbish, I'll fire them. Most of the women I have worked with seem to have the same sense of humour, skin-thickness and social skills as the men. i.e. if you are flat out rude and abusive, they get upset.
There is no need for for abusive leadership styles, irrespective of whether the team members or male or female.
Not everyone has the power to fire everyone they have a personality conflict with. You apparently are CEO and sole investor of your company.
Not at all. Just a lowly Software Development Manager. Company of roughly 50,000 worldwide (not an IT company).
I think you missed my main point -- that being rude isn't usually helpful, and you focussed on the firing bit (which was simply an aside).
Ahh, but the "firing bit" sounds like the key -- it's easy to tell someone to stop abuse when you have the power to fire them. It's less easy when it's someone at the same level or a superior that has the power to fire *you*.

How tiring can it be to skip over a headline + article summary when you see something you're not interested in? Here's a pro tip: Before you click through and read a Slashdot story, read the headline (and/or skim the summary) and see if it's something that interests you first. If, for example, you're not interested in reading more stories about The Martian, if the headline mentions "The Martian", then don't click on it.
What you're doing is the opposite, you've not only clicked on the story, but you've read enough of the comments to find someone that agrees with you and you've posted a comment -- no wonder you find it so tiring, you don't have to tell everyone when you're not interested in a story, you can just silently skip it.
I'm going to write a book about me flying on a plane and landing in London and driving on the wrong side. I'll spend entire chapters describing the turbines and materials of the floor.
Fuck me but you nerds have simple tastes in your entertainment.
Find a way to have yourself face certain death with no hope of rescue unless you can manage to drive on the left side of the road, and you've got a bestseller there.
I bought a VW diesel in 2005, the last year of the "old" line. When VW came back with their "clean diesel" a little over a year later, it came with a huge advertising campaign, and, as posters have noted in other forums, other car manufacturers publicly and privately wondered "how did VW do a clean diesel" without seeming to have changed their technology.
If that's true, why didn't those other manufacturers test the VW engines themselves and report the high emissions to the EPA themselves? Surely they closely examined the engines to see why they were so clean and did their own emissions testing of the VW engines to compare with their own technology.
The problem is that there are six million merchants out there with mag stripe readers, and nobody can force them all to change to EMV overnight. It took Europe four years to get even to 90% adoption rates. Until such time as most all retailers take them, the crappy mag stripes are required for backward compatibility. And if we say "this does nothing", that's wrong. It takes us one step further down a path we need to fully traverse.
The big credit card companies announced their migration plans 3 years ago, that's hardly overnight.
But no merchant will be forced to accept chip cards, they will just have to accept liability for any fraud that results from transactions on systems that are not EMV capable.
Programmers are not infallible, so I say an autonomous car can also cause you to run a red light, or crash into a bridge pillar, whether you're sleeping, or not.
The success of automation in the aviation industry makes me think that autonomous cars will be a *lot* more reliable than human drivers. No technology is perfect, but it's almost certain to be better than people.
An autonomous car is still useful even if it's not legal for it to operate fully autonomously -- it can prevent you from inadvertently running a red-light and getting T-boned in an intersection, or could keep you from crashing into a bridge pillar when you fall asleep at the wheel.
It's aluminum -- can't exactly charge through metal...not until recently at least, which was probably too late for the product cycle.
So don't make the case out of metal.
I can't remember the last time I've seen any phone (android or apple) that's not in a protective case anyway, so why does it matter what the phone's case is made of?
I'm disappointed by the lack of wireless charging on both the 5X and 6P. Sure, wired USB-C charging may be faster that wireless and the omnidirectional connector is more convenient than Micro-USB, but still, I like being able to drop the phone on my nightstand in the dark without fumbling for cables.
Had a coworker move to an EA. All i saw was the same shit pay, the same shit work, and my own workload stack up while his lessened. Yet I made less, worked twice as many hours, and got none of the recognition. EA's should be shit canned.
Maybe you didn't get any recognition because you were an easily replaceable grunt that was helping to build the system that your coworker architected? The carpenter working on a flashy new building doesn't get any credit either while he toils away at relatively low pay to build the design from the architect.
. . . everyone will just think that they can code.
Hey, I have a Black & Decker cordless drill! And a can of Spackle . . . I guess that makes me a dentist!
I don't understand the big push to get everyone to code -- not everyone *wants* to code, nor should they have to. Not everyone knows how to grow their own food, fix their own car, build their own house, and they don't need to - there are specialists for all of those that are better trained and more skilled at it and will do a much better job. Some people may grow a small garden or tinker with cars as a hobby, but few people are capable of effectively growing food for their family or overhauling an engine. Just some people may enjoy creating small (or even large) software projects for fun, but not everyone wants to.

send disks to Amazon
Oh, and those disks make a detour to the NSA on their way to Amazon. Very convenient, indeed.
Why bother slurping data off discrete disks in transit when the NSA can just access the data when it's on AWS's servers?
