Cameras that pick up IR are already used to see through people's clothing. I seem to recall that cops were banned from using IR cameras to see into people's homes a while back.
Our world is built around people only being able to see in the visible spectrum. That may inevitably have to change as the tech gets cheaper.
There can be a balance between the number of buttons and the number of touch-screen functions. The M3 doesn't have enough buttons, e.g. you have to use the screen to adjust the windscreen wipers (the auto function is janky) which is clearly a terrible idea. Reduced visibility and you are forced to fiddle with the touch screen.
The difference in NY is that the people already living there will be forced out if Amazon comes. Gentrification will force up rents and property prices. Their homes will eventually be demolished and replaced with luxury apartments priced at the exact level that Amazon clerical staff can barely afford.
Towns that are reliant on just one big employer are very vulnerable too. That employer can make huge demands, and if they go away for some reason there is no plan B. Making such communities more viable and less dependent should be a major goal of any business policy.
In fact in the UK if you have bought a car online or have not had a test drive prior to receiving it you can reject it for any or no reason in the first two weeks.
It's still a hassle because there is paperwork, you might have finance or whatever, but you have that right.
Tesla said today that they are losing money now. They may eventually make a profit on $35k cars, once they get the service issues sorted out to reduce warranty costs, and further increase volume and manufacturing efficiency/yield.
Their real problem is the battery packs though. Cylindrical cells are not cheap and add significant extra weight. They need to switch to pouch to be competitive with Korean manufacturers on price per kWh, which means big investment and probably some significant patent licences.
The Niro is considerably bigger than the Model 3 though. It depends what you prefer - choice is good.
The limit on production is the number of batteries available. They already doubled this year from 20k to 40k, and LG is pushing to ramp that up even further.
If you can use one of the handful of 150kW (or above) chargers currently installed across the USA. Otherwise, it's going to take a lot longer.
Same is true for the Model 3 in Europe. Even once they finish rolling out CCS chargers to Tesla locations, they are still very sparce or non-existent in many places.
Model 3 has higher efficiency at freeway speeds and higher overall MPGe.
Kona and M3 are about equal on the highway for efficiency. In any case, at highway speeds the Kona gives you significantly better range.
There is plenty of legroom in a Model 3.
There is. The main issues are it being quite low compared to CUV shape cars like the Kona, and that the boot/trunk entrance is very narrow which limits its utility.
Oh and to answer your question, it can charge at 100kW.
The shape is a CUV, kinda sub SUV but you get a hatch back (Model 3 rear door is very small and lets water in) and it's taller and easier to get in and out of.
Keep in mind that you need to compare with the $35k Model 3, which is similarly priced.
I'm glad I cancelled my Model 3 pre-order now and got a Kia Niro. It's similar to the Kona. The comparison is about what I expected.
Model 3 Pros + Slightly more sporty performance + Supercharger access
Cons - Lower range - Smaller (https://youtu.be/2OM1UsEAPe4) - Very noisy (https://youtu.be/GzQdkwmq78s) - Not so good (auto wipers are jank) in the rain (https://youtu.be/hCv_Ha0oWjE) - Touch only controls for a lot of essential stuff - Cloth seats, manual adjust - No heated seats/wheel - No autopilot - Forced updates
Sue you can upgrade to fix some of that stuff, but then you are paying tens of thousands more. Also it's not available on RHD countries until some time in 2020 anyway. Niro coming next month.
Why would they waste money on a 5G modem and on-going cellular data costs when the user is very likely to connect it to their wifi for free anyway?
Also it would be pointless in Europe because the user could just decline he mandatory opt-in permission request, and agreement cannot legally be forced by making it mandatory to use the functions of the TV.
It does protect against Linux malware too. It's a Linux box running an older kernel with numerous services exposed, and periodically exploits are found.
Standard HTTPS with a pinned certificate would have been fine for this application, but they didn't even manage to do that. Quite incredible levels of incompetence for such a big company with massive cloud infrastructure.
I don't really understand Ring though. If I'm in I'll answer it, if I'm not there isn't much I can do anyway and anyone important will leave a card. So why do I need it?
War between states with armies of automated kill-bots will be like nuclear war - prevented by mutually assured destruction. The problem will be places that don't have armies of kill-bots.
Can't just nuke Afghanistan to get rid of the Taliban, because nuking is unacceptable and tends to result in nearby nuclear powers responding. But sending kill-bots there... Well we have seen what is done with drones, which are half way to kill-bots. Flown remotely, impersonal and very likely to end up killing a lot of innocent people.
Actually, multiple investigations found that ACORN didn't break the law or do anything substantially wrong, and that the videos were heavily edited to give a false and misleading impression.
The EU successfully prevented the export of CO2 emissions by simply including emissions in the country of manufacture when calculating carbon taxes on EU companies. It also passed laws like RoHS that forced Chinese factories to clean up even though they were out of jurisdiction.
Emissions since 2010 is a carefully cherry picked timeframe. Emissions are still falling, there was just a blip which was at its lowest point in 2010 due to the global financial crisis that is now being corrected.
Sound similar to London where stop and search just make things worse by increasing distrust in and animosity towards the police, making it harder for them to intervene early or gather intelligence. Of course the Metropolitan Police have had problems with institutional and individual racism for decades too, which only exacerbated the problem.
What really helped in London was funding youth services and community projects that diverted people away from crime and gangs. When austerity started a decade ago the money went away and crime rates went up. Now there is a serious knife crime problem and the only effective solution takes at least a few years to really start working.

$92 trillion over what time period and how much of that would be spent anyway?
My understanding is that much of it is healthcare and would be spent anyway.
Lucky you. It depends if your area is oversubscribed or not.
Kona and Niro have real leather, much nicer. Also heated and ventilated seats for the same price as the base M3 that lacks them.
In fact in the UK if you have bought a car online or have not had a test drive prior to receiving it you can reject it for any or no reason in the first two weeks.

That really is a joke. People are waiting 3 months for routine servicing right now, let alone repairs. There aren't enough loan vehicles either.

I'm saying it's bad now because of ten years in underfunding youth services.
Why would they waste money on a 5G modem and on-going cellular data costs when the user is very likely to connect it to their wifi for free anyway?

It does protect against Linux malware too. It's a Linux box running an older kernel with numerous services exposed, and periodically exploits are found.
For example, this flaw in Samba was pretty severe: https://nakedsecurity.sophos.c...
Still not convinced that McAfee is the best solution, but a Linux based NAS is not immune to malware either.
According to McAfee you can actually delete it: https://service.mcafee.com/web...
I guess you "need" it because Tizen OS has an app store and like all app stores it sometimes gets malware in it.

It's all well documented with many citations and links to the actual investigations here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

I used to think Royal Mail was crap, but An Post in Ireland seems to average about a week for first class post.

The significance being that each one could potentially result in a fine of 4% of global turnover. I make that $2.2 billion per investigation.
Unfortunately some of it probably pre-dates GDPR so the fines might not reach that level.
Also it's good that they are being investigated for shirking their responsibilities.
I'm sure users will be mightily disappointed that their browser got faster. That's the last thing they want.
I think we have found the bottom of the barrel here. This is rock bottom for criticism of Chrome.
