Some minor tweaks added in '89 (from wikipedia): multiple inheritance, abstract classes, static member functions, const member functions, and protected members.
And even later still were added: templates, exceptions, namespaces, new casts, and a boolean type.
C++ underwent way more fundamental changes in its first 10 years than Swift has undergone in its first 2...so maybe we should all just chill out a little bit.
I'm not aware of any good programming language that never required any revision. So you are basically holding Apple to a standard that noone else has ever met before...
But hey, if it makes you feel better about your own miserable life to complain on the internet...
Running the AC does not cut your range in half, that's just made up. At most there's a 10% effect on range (heat or AC), and that's under pretty extreme conditions.
On a Tesla Model S you get an 80% charge in 40 minues, not a 75% charge in 45 minutes.
Why even bother with talking about the time to charge to 100%? Noone would do that on a long trip, you charge to 80% and then go.
Why even bother talking about a 15A extension cord? That's the EV equivalent of walking down the highway with a gallon jug of gasoline--something that would happen only under extreme emergent conditions (or charging at night or something).
Seriously, does the existence of EVs challenge your lifestyle sooo much that you feel the need to unleash FUD as a defense mechanism?
I like cleaning out my inbox of issues the night before so I can be productive on my personal work the next morning. Different people work differently and it's weird for government to get involved in these sorts of details.
There will always be ways for employers to pressure employees--laws can't anticipate every situation. The best solution is to: make sure you are worth what you're being paid, have a backbone and stand up to your boss, and if all else fails then go work somewhere else.
An autonomous driving system doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to be safer than human driving, which is not terribly difficult as it turns out.
There are millions and millions of miles being put on Tesla with autopilot as we speak, and statistics works. If that system is actually less safe than human driving then the statistics will bear that out--thus far it is showing the opposite.
There are cases where the "upstart" tech just has it so figured out, and the entrenched players are so clueless, that it's an easy bet where things are heading.
It was pretty easy to figure out on day one that the iPhone was going to be fantastically successful, essentially launching a smartphone revolution. The first version wasn't perfect, but all the imperfections were pretty easily fixable (no native third party apps, slow Cell data, no native GPS, no support for push email, no way to access my work email, required connecting to iTunes to load content, etc.) and all the hard stuff was pretty much perfect (battery life, form factor, screen, music, video, web browsing, fit & finish, no locked down crapware, and just generally well-designed and targeted at a broad consumer audience). It was so overwhelming better than nearly every other phone that I would just laugh when people said "this thing's going to fail".
Now it's very hard to predict which competitors will catch up and pass the upstart tech, and a company can always stumble and screw up--but, come on, it was pretty clear the iPhone was going to be conquer the world for at least some period of time.
Fastforward to now, it's clear that electric cars are going to conquer the world. There are going to be winners and losers in that industry which means that some of the entrenched players are going to be tomorrow's Blackberry.
PS: SpaceX also has it figured out, the writing is on the wall for ULA.
Apple designs their own laptops. Obviously they sub-contract manufacturing, but they clearly don't just slap an Apple label onto some rickety ODM crap.
All these big companies are playing by the same rules. You'll have to find another reason to rationalize why some of them are way more successful than others.
Most of history was a worst time to be alive than right now, for the average person at least. It just somehow always seems to be fashionable to claim that "things were always better in the good ole days". It's just stupid cliche' bullshit from entitled brats.
I'm astounded at how poorly engineered the entire system is. The slot is hard to find (especially for tall people) and it takes way too long. Wasn't this system in Europe for 10 years? Didn't they test it at all before rolling it out?

He said PDP11 ML, which I assumed meant the PDP11 machine-language or macro-assembly language--otherwise what's the point of saying "PDP11"?

should the world stop using Python?
And PDP11 ML isn't a programming language, dumbass.

They eventually re-discover which parts of the establishment were actually pretty important.
It was an anti-establishment un-regulated bank for a rogue currency. That was a huge draw with a certain segment of society.
But it turns out that there are good reasons for bank regulations.
Experts have been predicting the end of the world for centuries and they've been wrong every time.
I'm going to predict that the world will never end, and I'll only be wrong once.

If you don't want to work extra hours then don't. I really like my job and I like working outside of standard hours. People are different.

They were wrong, too.
Trump is not some aberration, he's the next logical step in the evolution of the current GOP coalition.

What's your point?
I guarantee everything I listed will be fixed in 5 years.
Most of history was a worst time to be alive than right now, for the average person at least. It just somehow always seems to be fashionable to claim that "things were always better in the good ole days". It's just stupid cliche' bullshit from entitled brats.
We don't like relying on unexplained phenomena anymore than scientists do.
I haven't seen anything faster or safer than Apple Pay, for example.
