It seems odd that they don't go for this much lower hanging fruit, stuff the Hyundai/Kia system already does and which old Teslas used to do, before worrying about emergency vehicles where the driver should be able to take over anyway.
Being able to read signs would be of great benefit to many Tesla drivers every day, and it's relatively easy to do.
PROTIP: Use a package manager like Chocolatey to avoid needing to open Edge at all! Install it from a flash drive and then easily install/update all the software you need without visiting a dozen websites.
Scoop (https://github.com/lukesampson/scoop) is pretty good too. Fewer packages but you can install it directly from PowerShell without even a flash drive or browser.
The IT system's spam filter might be strong enough to block bulk emails coming from a dodgy looking domain with no SPF record though.
Maybe that was the plan, make sure most of the emails end up getting blocked but technical fulfil the legal obligation to disclose. But more likely incompetence.
Gamers who play on mobile phones... Remember that until very recently there was a ban on importing consoles so it was either Chinese domestic ones (mostly knock-offs of 16 bit era or ARM based emulation boxes) or a relatively expensive gaming PC.
And this population is 30 million, still quite significant but I'm betting that the intersection of gamers using Steam and people politically motivated enough to fight the system is quite small.
Why waste money on risky nuclear projects that have a nasty tendency to go massively over-budget and then not work properly anyway? There are far, far better alternatives that are cheaper and far less risky.
How about starting with 100s of billions into offshore wind and battery storage, plus some grid upgrades? It will be faster and cheaper and not saddle future generations with problems.
I thought this was Apple. The Tumblr app got banned from the App Store because of child porn, and they couldn't figure out a way to just remove the illegal stuff so decided to ban everything pornographic.
Aye, that's true. Still, it's causing enough of a slow-down in the retirement rate that it's affecting employment opportunities for everyone. Also people are living longer and enjoying good health in later life, meaning they might prefer to keep working (in a nice job). I know a few boomers who are "semi retired", as in they work part time just to have something to do.
Companies are supposed to act independently and not collude. Should all of them deciding to pay the same thing for the same job in order to prevent an arms race not be considered collusion?
That is generally how it works. Not direct collusion but they won't pay well over market rate just because they decided that's what the job was worth to them.
You cannot tell me that a larger company will hire an exact number of developers relative to their profit.
No, but they will look at a particular need and how much money it is likely to generate for the company and use that to set an absolute limit on what they can pay someone to fulfil it. Sometimes that limit might be very high so they will go by market rate, but all that means is that smaller companies have no chance of getting skilled workers which doesn't seem like a good situation.
That's too simplistic. If they can't get the people they might make a better offer, but it only goes so far because the job only provides so much value to them. They also have the issue that if they start offering more and more money then current employees will want more and more money, and other companies will offer it to them and they may actually end up with fewer people than they started with.
Migrant workers can help alleviate the lack of skilled workers which helps everyone. If they need a team of 10 to do a project but can only get 5 they might not do the project so that's 5 native jobs lost. If they need an expert in X but can't get/afford one they might not employ the other 20 people needed to do all the other work. Even if it delays the project by a year or two that's jobs and GDP that is lost.
Migrant workers are not a cheap option either. There are costs to find them overseas, to interview them (which usually involves paying their travel expenses), paperwork and sponsorship costs, and even if they were somehow cheaper they become citizens soon enough anyway. Many places they get all the same rights as natives, although admittedly with H1B that isn't the case (and is something you should fix).
That's some paranoid nonsense right there. Aside from anything else, there are simple and cheap tools for applying medication to your back, and how would concealing its use from your partner empower you? How is it worse than the current situation?
This is great news for men, but some people are determined to somehow twist it into being a misandrist attack on them.
Why would companies keep increasing wages if they can't find enough skilled workers? That would just escalate and they probably don't want to get into an "arms race".
Also every employee provides a certain amount of value to the company. The company won't pay more than the value that employee provides. If what they mean is that they want programmers to develop applications that are only worth X to them, but X isn't enough to cover the wages you want/need, then it doesn't really help you because even if you are the only candidate in the world they aren't going to pay you enough.
You also have to remember that for the really high end jobs to exist there often have to be a lot more lower end jobs supporting. Software engineering is a great example - in order for things like frameworks and database backends to have so much value there has to be a huge number of less skilled people making use of them.
There has been a delay in people retiring since the 2008 crash. People want to wait for their market-linked pensions to recover before cashing them in for an annuity, so keep working.
they did take a number of jobs from the local economy.
Also, the salary for H1Bs was lower.
So they did two illegal things there, and you and maybe other people observed it happening but didn't report it? Didn't document it and make a complaint?
I challenge your statement asking if wages are depressed, but in the next sentence say every study done on this matter found they raised wages. If there are studies, which are not sited here, you're saying H1Bs raise pay over all? How? Again, where is your studies?
As you can see, at least in the UK migrant workers actually increase wages and prosperity for medium and high income natives. Maybe H1B is different, but I don't see why it would be. The same arguments are made in the UK and debunked by the data. As a highly skilled migrant worker myself I can tell you that the salary I'm getting paid is above the going rate and the availability of my skills to this company has lead to growth and other natives being employed.
The smart ones are going, "I'm going to make, save and invest enough money so that I don't have to depend on these people to look after me when I'm older".
That's a fairly dumb approach.
For a start it's very risky. Maybe you are lucky and save up enough, maybe the economy tanks just as you are reaching retirement and your savings and investments go down the drain. Maybe you are just unlucky and get laid off at 50 and can't find another job, maybe you get cancer and lose everything.
And the thing is, even if it works out you still need highly educated young people to look after you. Your body will start to need maintenance and repairs, and your mind might start to go too. This is already screwing over many older people who saved but now can't afford care because there aren't enough young people wanting to do it and the cost has gone way up.
None of the other options are close to 100% effective, so it's advisable to use more than one. Pills or anything you can use daily have the advantage of becoming routine and thus harder to forget or run out of.
Also the "side effects" are actually desirable for some people.
Skilled immigrants are a benefit to your country because most other countries have free or at least much cheaper education. Now you are getting the benefit when they are in the prime of their lives and unlikely to need many social services.
When you see a doctor you are either paying for their education or their are an immigrant.
Are there any studies showing that H1B visas depress wages? I ask because there was a persistent belief in the UK that immigration pushed down wages, but every study on the matter has found that they mostly raise them except for a minor impact in a few specific areas. It would be nice to see some peer reviewed data for H1B.

The Model 3 has an IR camera facing the driver, but it's not used at the moment. Would be nice if they put some effort into getting that to work.

Which browser does AC trust?
Firefox - slyly installs binary plugins without consent, keeps adding new bullshit like Pocket
Chrome - allegedly spies on you
Vivaldi - has the same telemetry as Chrome (unique ID, IP address, some system info), malware protection
Opera - Chinese owned, same spying as Chrome
Safari - bundles more Apple crapware, UI is janky on Windows, Apple spies on you the same as Google does
Edge - Microsoft spyware
Maybe IE6 wasn't so bad...

How do they get away with breaking the law? You say the regulator is weak, but can't individuals make criminal complaints?
They won't stop fossil fuel subsidies because too many voters like cheap gas and other oil products.

This is just a rational actor fantasy where the market actually works because human beings don't act like human beings for some reason.
Beyond Burger was good.
True I guess. I tend to avoid them because they rarely have a good working environment, even if the pay is usually competitive.
But that's only a relatively small number of companies. Most aren't even publicly traded.
How is it more risky then hoping and depending on complete strangers for your well-being?
Or maybe save AND have a really good social welfare system?
Nah, unpossible.
Aye, that's true. Still, it's causing enough of a slow-down in the retirement rate that it's affecting employment opportunities for everyone.
