The estimated cost to cover the average size roof on a home makes them totally non-competitive with regular panels.
Only if you ignore the fact that the energy generated over their lifetime gets you a free roof and maintenance and tidy profit.
Plus, the whole battery making process is REALLY environmentally dirty.
Compared to what? Burning more petrol and coal and gas? Creating more nuclear waste? Plus we haven't really started recycling those batteries on a large scale yet because the vast majority of them are still working.
If you ask "should the US have control of its borders?" then most people will agree with you. If you ask "should the US build a wall and aggressively deport children?" then you might get a different answer. Same on healthcare, people had been primed to hate Obamacare and agree with Trump, but when they see what he wants to replace it with they don't like that either.
It's standard populist stuff. Promise what people want, but deliver what you want. Support for one does not imply support for the other.
For full self-driving you need some mechanism to clear the sensors if they get obscured. That usually means wipers for rain/snow and heaters for frost/snow.
Waymo seems to have developed something for their sensor package to operate in snow. Tesla only has heaters.
Sometimes I'd rather they load a well tested, robust 50MB library that try to write it themselves.
Naming is where most programmers go wrong. I have some rules, like putting the units in the name, and am not afraid to re-factor if it makes something's function clearer.
Trust isn't binary. No code is fully trusted. There is a whole spectrum from core kernel security functions in an open source OS to random Javascript served up by ads.
Most people run some proprietary software. Most people have not carefully security audited all their open source software. That's why operating systems have feature to isolate tasks, to protect the kernel and manage hardware access rights.
For most people the Meltdown patch is essential. Exploits are already in the wild.
Do you really mean "identarian politics"? That movement is an anti-immigration nationalist one, more like say Donald Trump and seeming to bare very little resemblance to Google.
Once dehumanized, opponents can be dealt with expediently by any means as "the Enemy" without needing to listen to anything the Enemy has to say.
But again it seems like the exact opposite happened. Damore's memo was dissected in great detail by the Labour Board, for example. Are you saying it's just luck that Google fired him because they considered him sub-human and it just happened to be legal on very specific, long standing points?
up to this point where the #metoo moment declared that talking is now harassment?
It's attempts to polarize and escalate the situation like this that are causing real problems. Some men seem to be afraid to even talk to women now, because of FUD like your comments. Your irresponsible rants are making men miserable and lonely.
And if you don't, you're a dirty white male, a misogynist, and probably commit sexual assault too!
Remember that time when you said I was probably a sexual predator disguised as a feminist? And also a misandrist and not a pure blooded Asian.
Why is it that all the bad behaviour you complain about is stuff you yourself engage in?
Reporting the filing of this lawsuit is fine. They can't be expected not to publish because some people can't comprehend that it's not up to the journalists to investigate the claims. They can't be expected to hold it back because some readers won't understand that it's the court that gets to decide if the complaint has merit, not them personally.
Maybe it's too early to post to Slashdot, since there is relatively little to discuss at this stage. But a simple report on the filing and the claims being made is fine.
Gawker was just engaging in some low grade homophobia for cheap laughs and mud slinging against a guy they didn't like. Schoolyard stuff, and indefensible.
It's not really a freedom of speech issue, it's a transparency in law and justice issue. It's an issue with the rich having greater access to the legal system, and being able to use it in ways that others cannot, e.g. bankrupting their victims regardless of the legal merits.
As JoshuaZ says (and was modded a troll for), it probably wouldn't have made much difference in the end, but that's not the point.
Disney's lawyers were probably snorting coke off the toilet seat when they came up with that argument.
They don't care that it's obviously flawed, Disney told them to defend their position. And it's probably only a prelude to bribing some lawmakers to charge the law anyway.
Some terminals are better than others. Some charge 2x normal price for everything and you can't sit down without paying up. Others are relatively pleasant places to be.
Nissan invented 360 birds-eye-view cameras years ago, and now quite a few cars have them. They work well, and at least with the Nissan ones have good night vision capability.
I find them very useful for parking. Not just for avoiding collisions, but for getting nicely aligned in the space. One of the biggest problems with parking is that spaces are too small to start with, and as soon as one person parks off-centre it screws everyone else up.
How about having to prove you are responsible and stable enough to own a gun? People are required to prove they can drive safely before being allowed to get behind the wheel without an instructor.
How come a script can adjust permissions on critical system directories?
It's always seemed a bit odd that Linux runs stuff like this as the superuser who can basically do anything. No granularity, no account just for installing JavaScript (!) packages... It's like Windows XP again.
Can't win on environmental policy. If you do it quickly you are trying to destroy the economy, turn it into a third world stone age country. If you do it slowly you aren't serious and know you will be long gone before having to deliver.
Your own link doesn't say that the Klingons are a metaphore for Trump supporters. It says that the political divide in the US inspired some aspects of the Klingons, which is rather different.
Citation required. I see no link to the actual lawsuit, only The Verge's story about the lawsuit.
It's embedded in the Verge article. You have to scroll down about a page to see it... Which is interesting because you go on to quote a few phrases from TFA. Like you skimmed it so fast you didn't notice the huge embedded document or something...
A defective door motor is not "damage" to the vehicle, it is a defect.
I was talking about the "lemon" designation. Is it a lemon under a state lemon law, or is it just that the factory staff noticed it's unreliable and called it a lemon.
Man, you really do skim stuff so fast you miss really important details. It's not like you were even trying to get FP, you just cam here to argue with me long after anyone really cares.

You realize that isn't the real msmash, right? It's some troll who registered the name "msmash (Top Editor)".

It really depends how you phrase the question.

Identitarian politics

What makes you think there is no evidence? Presumably there is evidence in the lawsuit she filed, which unfortunately we don't have a copy of.
I was hoping for a copy of the lawsuit, as it will contain what evidence she has. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to have been posted online yet.

This isn't about fixing the problem, it's and trying to distract you from the issue they won't deal with.

The human race will be subjugated by robot cats. Someone will make them as cute robo-pets, and program them with the 3 laws of cats:
1. Enslave humans to serve your empire
2. Never allow your food bowl to be empty, ideally by acquiring at least 9 food bowls and enough humans to keep them full
3. Show your approval by biting the hand that feeds you
