Note how a lot of the cost is due to the fancy paint which prevented them from doing a repair. Rather than tech, it's expensive paint jobs and aftermarket wraps that are adding a lot to these kinds of repairs.
That was relatively cheap for a Tesla, since he damaged the car himself and wasn't claiming from someone else's insurance. If it had been someone else's fault there would have been rental fees and loss of value on top.
Tangentially this accident demonstrates why the current Tesla autopilot hardware in inadequate for the self-driving feature they have been selling. It didn't notice the post the guy hit, didn't warn at all. 360 birds eye view cameras might have helped, or better side facing ultrasonics.
Seems like an application for 3D printers. If they could just keep the CAD file around for 20 years and print spare parts in metal when needed it should reduce costs a lot.
It's the inefficiency of the supply chain to you that creates a rather high minimum cost to anything.
Subaru don't pay $57 for the knob, but they buy millions of them and get them delivered to the factory. To get to you it has to be picked out, packaged, sent (probably by international registered post), import fees paid, the dealer/vendor adds their mark-up...
Best thing is usually just to get a used one from a wreck for stuff like knobs and trim.
On the one hand they aren't SJW enough, they gave the guy $90M even though he sexually assaulted someone. On the other hand they are too SJW because... Wait, can you explain that one to me?
What was he going to do if they didn't pay? Sue, and air all his dirty laundry?
Having said that it's possible that the victim was unwilling to testify on Google's behalf, so would have been advised to settle. Often victims don't want what happened to be public because it can make it hard to get another job. That's just happened in the UK with Philip Green, a couple of the accusers supported not making his name public for fear of ruined careers.
"Pacifist" runs of games are popular with the speedrunning community. Depending on the game it might be an achievement to simply finish it without harming anything, or it may just be another category to get the fastest time in.
iPhones are the most common type of phone that law enforcement are likely to encounter, simply because there are so few models and they all share common software. After that it's probably Samsung Galaxy phones.
Overall Android is the large majority of the market, but there are so many different handsets all with different techniques needed to unlock them, if it can be done at all...
To be fair TFA does say that he has such a superficial understanding of the intel he is given that he probably couldn't give too much away even if he tried.
They are probably doing it either via fake cell towers or by cracking his phone, or both. Or maybe they are in the cell service provider's network.
We know that the NSA and GCHQ were doing that stuff on a massive scale both domestically and abroad, so it wouldn't be surprising to find that the Russian and the Chinese were at last attempting to match them.
Of course the person tapping your phone expects that you might discover it and start doing that at any moment, so it's not that effective.
Trump doesn't seem to take security or dedicating himself to the office that seriously though. Still works out of Trump Tower a lot, plays a lot of golf and has high level meetings at Mar a Largo. I can't see him being too restrained with his personal phone.
Strange, the FBI said that it was at most just a few of the tens of thousands that might have contained classified information. The issue was lack of archiving as legally required for government business emails.
The correct solution is to use the right battery. Specify a battery that can deliver the required current even when it is aged.
Clearly Apple did not test this properly. If they had they would have build the slow down in from the start. Other manufacturers fit larger batteries that are able to deliver more current, mitigating the problem.
In Google's case the fix was to change the battery. Apple saved themselves a large amount of money by not doing that. Newer models learned from this mistake and switched to using either better single batteries or dual batteries.
None of this is at all surprising. Google provides free tools to gather anonymous stats about app usage, and most developers enable them because it costs them nothing to do so.
Users seem to like social media integration and app developers know that sharing stuff on social media (e.g. stats from your last bike ride) is free advertising for their app, so build in support for popular networks.
The link claiming that this allows developers to create profiles of individuals is paywalled. Based on how flimsy their investigation was I'm sceptical.
Also, you can install a firewall app to block individual apps if you are worried about this.
You can't be "consciously grappling with ethical choices" while you're implementing a sort function.
I was once asked to add webcam functionality to some software. I had to refuse on the grounds that it was an unwarranted invasion of privacy, and my boss accepted my argument.
A few months later I noticed that the people using the equipment had put electrical tape over the webcam anyway.
The software that runs MRI scanners makes humankind better. The software that lets us communicate securely or encrypt our personal data makes humankind better. The software that allows us to understand our own DNA makes humankind better. The software that took us to the moon made humankind better.
"The man accused of sending a group of scientists to the central Italian city of Lâ(TM)Aquila in 2009 to falsely reassure citizens that no major earthquake was about to strike"
The issue was that they told people there was little risk, which resulted in them not taking precautions. They were not prosecuted "for an earthquake", as you suggest.
Their legal system has enough issues for you not to have to strawman it.
As for Knox, in most European countries it is possible for two people to convicted of the same murder. Even if only one of them physically murdered the victim the law considers being closely involved, as it is alleged that she was, is also murder. That's how the law works here, maybe in the US it would be "accessory to murder" or something, I'm not an expert.
They can just keep the old OS going with security patches. That's pretty much what happens to Android phones once they are out of the manufacturer's update cycle, they just get security fixes from Google Play.
With every new version they add some extra bloat. New built in apps you don't want, new services to deliver ads or DRM infected media. Apps that used to work just fine get updated for the new hardware with twice the RAM and suck on your device.
And then you get the update pushed on you hard. Refusing means stuff stops working and no more security patches for you.

How is that "SJW" though? Aren't SJWs famous for going after the rich and powerful?
It's almost as if that term is just a meaningless pejorative.
Coerced sex is sexual assault... At least it is here, maybe in the US there is a different legal term for it.
Don't forget that google is the sjw company
On the one hand they aren't SJW enough, they gave the guy $90M even though he sexually assaulted someone. On the other hand they are too SJW because... Wait, can you explain that one to me?

I don't think you can fault Apple for having to follow the laws of the country they're operating in.
No, that is reserved for Google.

So... You called her out for being black and having dyslexia. That is your objection to her presenting The Sky At Night?
I want to be really clear about this.
It mentions the apologies in the summary... Is it too much to read even that?

Many of "her emails" were classified
Strange, the FBI said that it was at most just a few of the tens of thousands that might have contained classified information. The issue was lack of archiving as legally required for government business emails.
Maybe you can cite the source of this claim?
Are there any high end phones that aren't encrypted by default now? Has anyone cracked the latest Galaxy S or Pixel phones?
Apple is obviously the biggest target and thus gets the most attention from crackers.
