Oh my gosh, like, you're a downer, like, whatever, like, people in 2216 are so going to want a 21st century teen around. Like, oh my gosh, you're such a hater.
Top Gear was the most watched non-fiction television show in the world when these three were the hosts. It stands to reason that there would be interest in their newest endeavor, even if you personally don't have an interest.
Yes, I've learnt a lot of languages and syntaxes over the years so I know I'm capable of learning powershell too. That said, working with command prompt has always been second nature to me over the last few decades. Adjusting will be a little awkward.
I think I'll wait for a variety of third party reviews before I get too eager though. Of course Musk is going to cheer his own product, but lets see if experts agree with him and if the price really is lower when it really hits the market.
I doubt we have 1000 years left on earth. The current max lifespan seems to be about 115. Even with modern advancements in science I doubt we'll make it to having 1000 years left on earth.
Now, our descendants might be here in 1000 years, but we won't be- at least not in one piece any more.
So, if your employer were to call and say, skraralic, we notice we've been paying you $50k a year. We've decided to pay you $25k a year instead. You'll still be making a salary.
Apple respects your privacy when it is in the public eye and thinks it can get credit for doing so. Behind the scenes- screw privacy!
This isn't a dig at apple. They all do this. Pay lip service to protecting your privacy whilst they sell your wiener size to Trojan for market research.
Get pulled over with a radar detector on your dash and that's a guaranteed ticket! Without one, you stand a chance of escaping with just a warning.
In all likelihood, not sure your age, so I could be off here, but it could be an age thing. When I was in my 20s I would have thought a flashy looking car would be better. Once I hit my thirties and long time married, I still would love a performance machine, but the last thing I'd want is some flashy looking car that makes me stand out from a crowd.
Let me blend in with the crowd... until I leave them in my dust and they sit wondering "what was that thing?"
Maybe they need both. I would much rather have one that looks like a family sedan than a sports car. The flashier a car looks the more likely the cops are to pull you over, the more likely someone will steal it, the more likely you are to be recognized on the road.
I know I'm not the only one who would prefer a "supercar" performance in a "Toyota Camry chassis" sedan.
You could say Americans love bacon- but it doesn't make up the majority of our diet.
A true Espresso is not espresso to an Italian without a certain amount of Robusta. It's not just Espresso either, numerous dark roasts in that country (and other countries) contain some Robusta, it adds an earthy flavor that some find appealing. Certain countries have an aversion to robusta that others don't... and it's because most robusta out there IS nasty, but not all of it.
Even the nasty bitter taste associated with Robusta can be avoided with some high quality Robusta beans. (sounds an oxymoron, but there is such thing as high quality, well washed, robusta).
Robusta isn't my cup of tea (or coffee), but to many robusta isn't quite the enemy it is in other countries. (it's also healthier, more economical to grow, and causes less waste).
We're probably all going to be drinking more Robusta in a few decades if the plants producing Arabica die off.
None of that says I am wrong. "Burnt" is subjective. Just like with toast, some would say that toast is burnt the moment it gets dark brown crust on the outside of it (carbonization), others say it is when it turns black and it's best when it is dark brown and crunchy. Just because some Hawaiian barista likes medium roast doesn't make dark roast "wrong" or "bad". In much of the world a medium-dark to dark roast is the preferred amount of roasting.
If you want truly "burnt" that would be a Spanish roast when the beans are literally blackened.
I heard once that Starbucks over-roasted their beans so the flavor would survive transport and storage for longer periods.
Dark roast coffees maintain a more consistent flavor between batches and different bean types. Lighter roast coffee can be very inconsistent. If you're trying to maintain a consistent "brand" it's much easier to do with a darker roast.
And again... "over-roasted" is subjective. Many people around the world (and even in parts of the US) prefer a darker roast to your typical new-England single-crack roasts.
Robusta doesn't necessarily mean bad coffee though. Italians love it.
For you average cup of joe it makes an inferior drink, however if you're making an espresso it adds to the crema. Depends on what type of coffee you're making and what you're expecting.

I just realised I referred to Top Gear as nonfiction with a straight face.
Top Gear was the most watched non-fiction television show in the world when these three were the hosts. It stands to reason that there would be interest in their newest endeavor, even if you personally don't have an interest.
I'm sure the top managers have lost a few million off their annual bonus, and their shares have dropped precipitously too.
Still, you can't help but wonder if whichever manager(s) were responsible for this feel any remorse towards those losing their jobs.

I'd like to see solar powered Hyperloops operating on mars one day!
If Musk is correct then... Great! Sign me up!

Let me guess, you voted for Trump.
This is last month's news.
He will if he goes to work at Motel 6.

yeah... poor Canadians having to deal with the third world on their Southern border.

You would think that is just and acceptable?
It may cost double to make the phones in the US, but we'll just make the Chinese government buy the phones for us.
Truly despicable! I understand WHY they're doing it, but it's still wrong.
The only good thing is, at least they're letting you know ahead of time they're violating your privacy. (not that that is much of a prize).

What about per vehicle made? There are a lot more Camrys made than Mclarens.
Maybe they need both. I would much rather have one that looks like a family sedan than a sports car. The flashier a car looks the more likely the cops are to pull you over, the more likely someone will steal it, the more likely you are to be recognized on the road.

40 years from now we'll be learning how Donald and Hillary had a tryst after each of the debates.
Damn it! I hoped no one had already posted this! [thumbs up]
