These will all be using a custom designed bezel that fits the seat in use. So even if the screen came as a unit with the camera built in, they could have designed the bezel to simply not have a hole for the camera.
Most Japanese people behave responsibly in the event of an emergency. For example some vending machines automatically switch to free vend and offer a wifi hotspot using their cellular connection (normally used for stock level monitoring and card payments). Obviously in many countries such a machine would be immediately raided, but in Japan it works.
Having said that, in the event of an earthquake it's usual to evacuate apartment blocks and move to a designated safe area. The risk of collapse is always there and there are usually aftershocks. It also helps emergency services concentrate their resources and help as many people as possible. So any vehicles used for power supply would probably be taken to a centre like that.
Would be a nice way to get multiple shots of the victims face for creating a deepfake video of them. I can see governments assisting with industrial espionage by creating deepfake masks for fake phishing via Skype etc.
The 40kWh Leaf has 38kWh usable. 20% is a ridiculous buffer, no car has anything like that.
Charging efficiency depends on the charge rate. For 6.6kW (typical home/work/destination charger) it's around 90% for the Leaf. 80% is more typical of rapid chargers (40kW+).
Overnight charging will remain the cheapest option because during the day consumption by industry and business is high. Also we have had remotely controlled off-peak energy for decades now. The power company sends a signal to turn it on when demand is low, and typically it is used to heat water and store it for later, but many people use it to charge their cars. The electricity company guarantees at least X kWh during the night so you have hot water during the day.
In Japan everyone pulls together in the event of a natural disaster. Some of it is legal requirements, such as being required to leave the keys in your car if you abandon it so that emergency services can move it, and some of it is just people doing the right thing.
For example many vending machines switch to free vend in the event of an emergency, and some even offer charging for mobile phones. I'm sure many drivers would be happy to loan their battery to where it is needed, e.g. evacuation centres or medical centres, or even just one house in the neighbourhood where everyone was going to spend the night.
Some have speculated that it might be fixable with a better seal that catches the run-off water, but I think it has too much velocity by the time it gets down there.
I did actually have a Model 3 pre-order but cancelled it. Aside from anything else it's too small. Very low, the boot entrance is tiny. Sat in one in the UK, the driving position is not great. Plus the quality issues were very off-putting.
According to the Model 3 Owners Survey
The problem with these kinda of informal survey, especially on an aspirational product like a Tesla, is that they rarely give any kind of accurate reflection of reality. This XKCD is also highly relevant: https://xkcd.com/937/
On the Ars article someone reports that the screen crashed while driving, and the wipers stopped working. Imagine suddenly having no wipers in heavy rain on the motorway. Maybe they work great 99.999% of the time, but like Autopilot occasionally decides to drive at speed into a wall that 0.001% failure is pretty serious.
They're giving the impression that we're talking about recent Model 3s here.
That's Tesla's problem really. If they shipped crap for a year and it clogged up their service centres and pissed off consumers, just saying "oh but we fixed it now, honestly in a year you will find that these cars have had fewer problems" isn't really going to cut it.
To be fair they do seem to be improving, especially on paint and panel fit. But that doesn't really help early adopters or give CR something they can work with.
They don't care about protecting the children, they care about protecting their ad revenue!
Advertisers can make any arbitrary demands they want, and YouTube is reliant on ads for most of its income so has little choice but to comply.
This is very very bad because it makes it easy for anyone to force channels to disable comments (and thus reduce their income due to decreased engagement, resulting in decreased recommendation and views) or lose their monetization.
I think in this case it's not the right to privacy, it's lack of consent. When they run that auction they don't appear to have affirmative, opt-in consent from the user to use their data for that purpose.
The boot (trunk in US English) lets water in when you open it after its been raining too. It's pretty bad, all the water on the rear window rolls down into the opening.
The auto wipers are still very unreliable. They work okay for some people, but not for many others. Tesla use a camera and AI to detect rain, rather than a $5 rain sensor like everyone else. Also the only way to control the wipers is via the touchscreen.
The screen crashes some times. When it crashes the wipers stop too. Not ideal in heavy rain.
As TFA notes there are still a lot of fit and finish and especially paint issues too. Tesla concentrated on ramping up production rather than quality. If these were $10k cars they would get away with it, but people expect a lot more for $50k, and a hell of a lot more for $80k. Well, even $10k Hyundais are generally better in that regard.
Average per house consumption in Japan is about 3500kWh/year IIRC, or about 9.5kWh/day. Even the first gen Nissan Leaf can supply that for a couple of days, and the new 62kWh one could easily do 4-5 days. Presumably in an emergency you would try to minimize energy consumption too, so it may actually last a lot longer.
I know, conversion losses blah blah, it's about right.
They are helping Nazis to target such people with their propaganda via their advertising platform. They are helping Nazis radicalize people.
It's one thing to support free speech on your platform and allow that kind of material, it's another to actively assist Nazis in their recruitment drive.
Formal verification like that isn't that useful for these kinds of systems.
So you have a GPL formally verified microkernel. You need to build it into a usable system. You need an SoC that it supports, and you need to provide a lot of services to the microkernel to make it do anything useful. And if you touch any of the kernel code, it's not formally verified any more.
It's a bit like how we tried to build secure systems by writing perfect, verifiable secure code. It turned into a complete nightmare, and didn't even work very well. On automotive you have the additional problem of unreliable hardware, e.g. you need to be able to recover from power supply glitches or cosmic rays flipping random bits in RAM, so your format verification only covered half he problem.
The solution is the same as for secure code - defence in depth. Make sure that one failure won't literally crash the system. The kernel and OS can provide a lot of services to enable that in a way that is testable and doesn't result in every developer trying to do their own thing, which as we know is always a bad idea for crypto and the same applies to a lot of safety critical stuff.
I actually write life critical code for a living, BTW.
I should point out that my goal here, which I appreciate may be too subtly indicated sometimes, is that when you try to nail people down on what an SJW actually is they basically describe the person they are complaining about in that moment. Well, more accurately they describe the imaginary boogyman with the same face as the person they are complaining about.
BTW, thanks for your efforts over the years. I feel like I've really made it as a star of social media now that I have my own personal long-term trolls, with memes just for me. The fact that you made a drinking game out of me triggering anti-SJWs is really heart-warming.
Only thing is, and I don't mean to nit-pick, but... The 'J' in my name is capitalized. It might seem like a small thing but it's important to me. Thanks buddy.
Whatever the issue is, when here is a lot of traffic on the motorway I can't even stream low bitrate talk radio. Often the phone just loses connection to the tower entirely. I think it's over-subscription, because everything is fine when traffic is light.
I'm constantly finding 4G networks to be too slow, even for basic browsing. Maybe you live in a sparsely populated area or something, but around here it's a toxic mix of over-subscription and poor signal.
Looks like a scam... I hope not for your sake, but the lack of any images of an actual working prototype and the fact that what they do show is a mixture of space models and renders is not a good sign.
Actually the victim complained on Twitter to YouTube, and YouTube emailed The Verge about the strike. The Verge then claimed that they fixed it on their own when they became aware of it and had not had any contact with YouTube, which is demonstrably false.
Problem is the DMCA. You can't ban people or ignore their DMCA requests. In fact there is no obligation to, it's up to the victim to sue them to stop them spamming more notices.
People have found a way to sabotage channels recently too.
Turns out you can use any video you like for your pre-roll advert, even if it's not on one of your own channels. So pick a video from the target channel and set it up as an ad. Most people skip the ad as soon as possible, so the video gets loads of "watched for 5 seconds, disengaged" marks against it and the channel as a whole gets demoted.

The problem is unrelated to ceramic coatings and the like. It affects all Model 3s.
Rei, you seem to have confused my reply with another one. I didn't say anything about the bumper...
The rain issue is a design flaw: https://youtu.be/hCv_Ha0oWjE

You said "you Jews and stockholders are vermin, not people?". In that context, "you" would be me, right?
You think I am Jewish for some reason, and then went on to suggest Jews and for some reason stockholders are "vermin, not people".
Do you need a mulligan?
Wow. Just straight up anti-Semitic now.
The difference being that Islam and socialism are not inherently violent or opposed to anyone's existence.

Nothing to do with freedom of speech.

Loads of protein I guess, makes you feel full. I might try ramping up my meat intake, see how it goes. Thanks.
I love meat... But I'm not sure I could go 100% meat, I mean cheese is pretty good too.
