150 fucking years after the Civil War and America *still* isn't post-racial. Do us a favor and run up to the biggest group of " G.A.Y N1GGERS" you can find and tell them how you really feel about them.
Initially yes but later changed to a combination of the two. We'll have to wait & see what the final product contains; going to be quite the tradeoff between weight & ease of repair.
We get hail storms, tornadoes, heat waves, flooding, and blizzards here.
After the last good wind storm it took over a year to get most of the asphalt shingled roofs all fixed. Glass roofs made out of photovoltaic panels will just make the problem worse.
In $DEITY's name, where the hell do you live? WHY are you still living there?
"pull up the dents with a suction cup attached to a compressor for $500. Total win"
I'm guessing that won't work as well with aluminum body panels. If Tesla use those for Model 3, the owners are going to be shocked as how much body work from even a small fender bender will cost them.
"No wonder he's going to China, they don't give a shit if people die"
Chinese traffic is so slow & complicated, drivers will die in stalled cars breathing bad air long before the AI makes a serious screwup. That said, Comma.ai is going to get people killed before they get it right, if ever.
I worry about this - I think they're a crash coming, probably triggered by the collapse of the Chinese market and I don't think North Am can avoid ripple effects. If....when....that happens, Tesla's capital sources will dry up. If they haven't launched the Model 3 by then or turned Solar City around, Elon is going to need another hair transplant.
There's another useful metric - cost of repair. Tesla isn't profitable and has enormous expenditure for their vision of electric mobility. Every dollar spent fixing something they should have gotten right on the production line is another that has to be borrowed to build the Gigafactory or Superchargers. They're about $7 billion in the hole and still a year, at least, before their mass market car ships.
The costs are too high because of greed, which many believe are still good. It says a lot about America when the example you agree with - scrubbers- is one that industry fought so hard against and delayed implementing for so very long.
Most people expected those to take time to get right. But the issues with poor build quality was simply horrendous and would have been unacceptable for cars costing well below the Model X base price. They delayed the car by 2 years and still couldn't get it right, FFS
"the costs are too high" The costs are always too high. Same excuse was used against smokestack scrubbers, pollution cleanup, healthcare, social security, you name it.
Under the right conditions, a "major hurricane" isn't required. Have we already forgotten Hurricane Sandy, the disaster which led a respected Republican to embrace a Kenyan? http://www.thegatewaypundit.co... Hurricane strikes are largely luck or the lack of it.
Also, try not to be US-centric - it's called GLOBAL warming; there has been some impressive typhoons in the past few years, including one that was 1/2 the size of India - or 2.5 times the size of Texas. That was Haiyan aka Super Typhoon Yolanda which killed 10,000 Filipinos.
There's also some dispute as to whether or not we'll see more superstorms as wind shear may be exacerbated by a warming world and that should reduce the number of hurricanes.
"A talking car. Well, now it's my turn to be impressed. KITT, is it? What an intriguing voice. A little too much gain in your tweeter, and a slight metallic tone to your bass." "Do you really think so?"
If TV was as explicit then as it is now, that might have been written as "just let me demonstrate some of the features of your seat and we'll see just how much gain we can get out of your tweeters"
"Worth noting that Autopilot was never advertised as 100% autonomous - this new system will be"
In time, not today, not this year and not next year. But this & future generations of the hardware will be capable, just awaiting the software to catch up, which will take time. Another question is just how good the earlier & existing Autopilot cars can be since they simply don't have the hardware for L5 which Elon confirmed 2 years ago.
5 yrs seems too soon; my guess is more than 10. Cars will probably have fair-weather driving nailed within 5-10 yrs but the Northern Hemisphere gets all kinds of crazy weather and L5 cars will have to be able to cope reliably. Nine times out of 10 won't be good enough, it'll have to be more like 995 times out of 1000.
"self driving" should not require a human at wheel. tesla requires one"
This announcement is about the hardware necessary for autonomous driving but there's a huge amount of testing & programming to get the software up to that level. And I'm reasonably certain legislators or insurers will still insist on a human behind the wheel for years after the cars are good enough.
"how about an alarm to warn driver that he has been away from wheel after a few seconds" I believe that was implemented in a recent update & Autopilot will be disabled if the driver ignores too many warnings
"musk and tesla better learn that false advertising will get them in trouble as crashes pile up" I think they are learning that lesson but should have been more cautious from the very beginning
Don't forget to mention. Who work in an area where they can easily find a job elsewhere. I bet these guys had jobs ligned up before the "bravely" quit Apple. Rarely a whole department will quit at the same time. If the job really sucks you will see a migration where people quit over the course of months. Because normally before you quit you need an other job. Having Apple not join open compute sounds more liike the first intent to look elsewhere. Then the reason to quit. I expect they all just got picked up by some companies they found out they were all quitting at the same time so they used that as the reason for their exit interview.
"you obviously haven't worked with Intel's ME firmware..." True "Bugs are what it is made out of." And you must not work for Intel. Those are the features.
"There were many on my team that said it wouldn't happen, couldn't happen; pointing at the crypto sourcecode as a prime example of what couldn't be moved outside the US. Of course they neglected to realize that there is no law about re-implementing the same feature/API outside the US and making sure it works"
That sounds like a wonderful way to introduce a bunch of new bugs. Sure, they'll be fixed, in time, but until then it's a huge liability.

Offhand chance? Just the small temp rise we've seen since the 50s has had significant impact.

11 years without a major hurricane strike. I was pretty sure the east coast and at least NYC were supposed to be under water by now

It seemed that we were stuck at 2.6 for such a long time. Pretty sure a former company is still running some 2.6 boxes.

Been a long time since I've seen a story get onto Slashdot this quickly
Oh, you might also look up the word "cult" and realize that millions of Apple's customers do not belong in that definition.
So what? Many millions do
Don't forget to mention.
