It is pretty clearly stated that summon must always be done when you can see the car. The car moves really slowly in that mode meaning you can hit the stop button on your key fob.
So what should be the outcome then? If I sell you ammo that is perfect for hunting deer and then you shoot a person do you get to argue that "but you told me it was good at deer not people" as a way out?
Tesla's documentation is pretty clear. They even have videos showing how the system works AND they specify that you have to keep the vehicle under your immediate supervision while using summon mode (not to mention what ever by laws there are in your location). The guy fucked up, and I feel sorry for him for scratching his car. But we can't be passing liability to Tesla because the guy has no critical reasoning skills.
But tesla doesn't claim it to be a full autonomous system and even specify that the car will not see high objects such as those hung from a roof. Summon mode is meant to be used while the controller of the vehicle is in line of sight and has cleared it of objects the tesla can't detect. It's a great system for shoving the car into small spaces not a full autonomous system.
Look at the photos. The trailer is high and has something, steel support beams I think, that are sticking way out the back. The beams look like they almost clear the roof of the Tesla
So if that is the case then it is pretty close to what Tesla says the Summon system won't detect. Tesla says the car won't see things that are hanging from a roof and this setup is pretty close to that. The nose of the car is actually a long way away from anything it could see even after the impact.
In the end you have an accident that a human driver wouldn't have done. But it was caused by a human using a system that has had that particular issue described to them.
When I did a translate it didn't mention flip initially. As for damage to the front and rear, spinning and digging in would do that as well. Or pin balling.
Never in a month of sundays did that car roll. If it rolled then Tesla needs to start selling their paint products as a magical no mud sticks and can't be scratched. It has impacted something at the front and then it had bounced a few times through the dirt.
I have unfortunately been involved in a couple of major accidents and have had 1 of my cars look similar to this, though in my case the rear of the car was destroyed as well. I'm not seeing anything there that would make you think the Telsa was inherently safer. They may not have a front mounted ICE but they do have batteries and electric motors that aren't mass free.
The one where my car ended up looking the worst was when I was rear ended by a semi-trailer that then pushed me into the car in front. I was stationary, he was doing 70kph at time of impact. The car I was driving was a 3 month old Mercedes E200D and was a total write off. I was the driver, wife in the passenger seat and two kids in the back, 1 in a baby capsule. Amazingly we all walked away despite the boot coming in through the rear windscreen.
I get where you are coming from. But there isn't a demand for books in Uganda that can be exploited. There may be a significant desire to own books but this is materially different from economic demand. In this instance I am saying the journalist is a fool.
As for free to allow imports, I think that depends on your definition. Their infrastructure sucks, corruption is high, and transport risks are huge. You aren't going to be able to import books on a 1 by 1 basis, TNT isn't going to be a suitable delivery service. So you have to make a significant investment in importing a container of books, which puts you in the sights of those who want their cut. This would easily have the effect of doubling the cost of imported books.
As for stolen books changing the price a retailer can charge, that is only the case if the books end up in the retail Ugandan market.
It is because books are a luxury item in poor countries. Median monthly salary for Uganda is about US$90, so at US$15 that makes up a massive % of their salary. The US median salary is $4300 per month, so if you were to price them equally you would be spending around $700 for a book. If books were 700 each the number you could sell would be dramatically lower, meaning your costs needs to be spread over a smaller number of sales.
The next part is that luxury items are at a higher risk of theft as they have a measurable resale value.
Food on the other hand is a commodity item that people with power know they have to keep flowing or they will lose control of the population.
Because you haven't priced in the security issues in Uganda. Once you throw in the high crime rates, the high corruption rates, the terrorist attacks, the porous borders along DRC and Sudan and finally a literacy rate of around 60% you start to see why there is such a markup on physically bringing books, or any other physical product, into the country.
I believe that if you entered a hotmail / outlook domain name it would kick you out of the imap process and into their domain specific method. Its been a while since I touched that software though.
Medical research you will see a lot of biometric security. Particularly if you are working with anything infectious. On drug testing, at least where I live, it is across all construction and mining sites. So even if you are a desk jockey you may have to do a D&A test before going on site. Not 100% of sites, but lots and lots of them. And certainly all rail sites.
The reason I was talking about your work was your comment "Not even if, in exchange, they allow to drive a taxi." I extended that to "Not even if, in exchange, the allow me to do X job."
One question though. There are plenty of jobs were biometric data is taken and used for security or background checks. Defence, Medical, Police, for the public sector and then lots of secure facilities use biometrics as one of there data points. I assume you wouldn't ever do one of those jobs because of the need to give a finger print, but if you know that that is the requirement of the job what is the issue? It's not like this is the only role where finger prints are taken.
Kind of but not really. The problem is they tried to lock people in with the Windows Live Mail app and if you are using the microsofts servers via windows live mail it forces a proprietary connection method. So the issue isn't with the server, they support all the normal basic suite of email sending and receiving methods. The problem is they tried to build a walled garden with their software 5 years ago and now don't want to support their own crap.
Of course they could release an update for windows live mail which removed the "force https stream / don't allow imap for microsoft domains" and the software would work with their server upgrades.
The guy had taken one of the attendants mobile phones. They were tracking that in order to pinpoint his location.
Obviously though where I would draw the line and you would are different. I guess I don't see a lot of difference between a stingray and directly accessing the information held by a telco.
Surely you have a centralised records database that the FBI has access to? For your local cop to call the FBI seems like a total waste of time to me.... I would have thought they load the info into a database and the FBI uses it if they desire.
Cheaper launches means more launches which means more satellites which means better services, more bandwidth and more experiments conducted and more information gather which results in new ideas, new inventions and new aspects of your life which will affect you.
What about hybrid sleep (or any kind of sleep/hibernate) without driver crashing?
Sleep / Hibernate works fine on my dells and my primary desktop. I never use it on my other machines so I can't comment. That said sleep / hibernate has always been a hit and miss for me irrespective of OS
Why do I have to manually start apps with primus if I want to run under discrete graphics?
Sorry I'd forgotten about this one. Also I am not up to date on its status as I don't have any optimus based laptops any more. I don't know if this is still the case but this was one of the only major driver issues that existed for linux and it is totally out of their control. Nvidia hadn't / still hasn't released support for optimus on linux and so a workaround of having the OS use with low power graphics all the time and using primus to drive a specific program to run through the nVidia card. Not ideal I will give you that.
Hell, why does everything related to portable power management suck so much compared to major end user platforms (windows, osx)?
I'm not seeing any major differences..... I get about the same battery life windows or linux on my dell.
Depending on how much you use photoshop you may find dual booting is the way to go. I have been using Mint as my primary OS for about 4 years now and love it. However there are still a number of games that are windows only. Rather than fight with it I dual boot into windows, play my game and boot out again. The reason why I boot back out to mint though is I prefer the desktop environment, the file manager, natural support for NFS, multidesktops and the easy scripting capabilities.
I get away using Libre Office for word processing and I work full time in Mint primarily in Word & PDF documents.

The tesla is a great car but it isn't magical.
