Tesla is a bit strange though, because they fit a lot of hardware that isn't used to even the cheapest cars. For example the base model gets all the autopilot cameras and sensors even though they are not used. The car uses them to help train Tesla's neural nets as part of their full self driving development, but the owner can't use them and can't disable them either.
That's probably one of the biggest reasons why the Model 3 Short Range, if it ever arrives, is $35,000 when the competition has bigger batteries and lower prices. They have to cover the cost of all that redundant tech and clearly don't think future upgrade possibilities will cover it.
Unfortunately the software is locked down and if you try to hack it then Tesla will cut you off, disabling many of the features of your car remotely. That can include supercharging capability and telematics.
Some people have made certain mods that Tesla tolerates. In particular the "bioweapon defence mode" is just a HEPA filter and a button that puts the fans on max temporarily, so you can buy your own HEPA filter costing a small fraction of the upgrade code and just turn the fans up manually.
The airlines I use let me spread out onto the adjacent seat for free if it is unoccupied. Once I was able to make a bed out of a row of 4... Best long distance flight I ever did.
That's not the main reason that Intel sells cheaper CPUs. Intel uses binning, where they test every CPU they make to find out what it's maximum stable clock speed is, disable any cache or sub-processors that aren't working and then sell it as model X.
In Tesla's case they have fully functional, tested 75kWh battery packs and just charge you to unlock the extra 15kWh. There is no binning, no difference between those packs and the cheaper ones, and a software upgrade is available at any time.
I was in a similar situation, undiagnosed disability until adulthood.
I can't speak for the OP but for me trying to push through and discovering the problem that way did serious, permanent damage that can't be repaired.
It's like trying to walk off a broken leg. It needs proper diagnosis and treatment, not "make it worse until something serious breaks and a doctor is forced to look at it".
Having a mental illness is real life too. Yes, disability means you are unable to do certain things.
I have a disability. It sucks, I wish I didn't, I wish I could do an the stuff I can't do because of it. And the most frustrating thing is when people say stuff like "maybe if you just tried" or "you need to get over it".
I know you mean well but it's not something a person can just push though. Maybe instead of just throwing kids in at the deep end they could have classes helping them understand and maybe overcome their issues, if that's possible for them.
Why on earth would Google sell your data to advertisers? It's the only thing that makes their advertising platform valuable, if they sold it their core product would become worthless!
If you really care the only option is an Android phone with a custom OS that doesn't include Google services. OnePlus handsets are well supported, cheap and well made.
A company I worked for decided to close at 1 PM on Friday. A few customers wanting support moaned but inside a month it was all fine and they were wishing they had the same.
You were given a choice between a crook/populist and a very unpopular candidate. You picked the one who promised a Muslim ban, is trying to build a wall to keep foreigners who he accuses of being criminals out, and who locks children in cages.
And what's more, he didn't even win a majority of the votes.
At which point Nazis thought they were winning so hard they could openly march in Charlottesville. Fortunately they were wrong, but don't pretend you don't have a president whose former close adviser is Steve Bannon and who refused to condemn those people.
By the way, if you actually read that blog you will note that she mentions that there is in fact an exemption. It appears to be mis-worded and will likely be corrected in future, stating "individual words" rather than the proposed exemption for snippets: http://www.consilium.europa.eu...
Which itself is based on this report that suggests an exemption is necessary because Germany and Spain tried forcing companies to licence snippets and it failed: http://www.europarl.europa.eu/...
So how come the EU took away the link tax and made snippets explicitly free from copyright claims, meaning that the copyright industry can't try to collect licence fees for things like news aggregators?
That doesn't sound like the work of the copyright lobby.
The US has a presidential system where it comes down to a choice of two candidates, so the idea that Hitler could never happen when the last election gave you the option of either Hilary Clinton or Donald Trump is clearly wishful thinking.

They may be the first not to include a headphone dongle in the box.
It's sad that when so many Slashdot users were bullied as children some of them are now ready to bully other kids just the same.
That suggests that the way it is taught in school is not very good, and could be improved to make it more enjoyable for more students.

Installing in the profile folder is officially supported by Microsoft. They encourage it for apps that are per user installs with low permissions.
Merkel has been chancellor since 2005. That sounds pretty stable.
Right of most republicans? Have you noticed how progressive Germany is on things like LGBT rights and socialized healthcare?
Why on earth would Google sell your data to advertisers? It's the only thing that makes their advertising platform valuable, if they sold it their core product would become worthless!
But you are okay with Apple spying on?
If you really care the only option is an Android phone with a custom OS that doesn't include Google services. OnePlus handsets are well supported, cheap and well made.
Except that Germany has a strong, stable and moderate government that is in no danger of turning fascistic.
Google Play is the only major service selling DRM free audiobooks. Audible/Amazon has DRM, iTunes has DRM.
Google Play allows you to download a DRM free copy of any audiobooks you buy. Accept nothing less.
Or just buy a mid range Android phone for 1/3rd the price and enjoy better specs, non-glued battery and an SD card slot.

AC, what is your solution?
We aren't talking about Germany, we are talking about the US. You will note that simply enacting laws is something fascists hide behind often.

Why link to a blog post when you can go to the precise details of the vote itself?

You wrote "poor noble savages". Your mind framed it in a way that I had neither intended nor considered.
So how come the EU took away the link tax and made snippets explicitly free from copyright claims, meaning that the copyright industry can't try to collect licence fees for things like news aggregators?
