as long as people are allowed to smoke inside or on patios, own space heaters, use a range, or use candles -- worrying about a fucking cell phone is absolutely trivial.
Well, there's a reason they're doing this kind of trial/test run on this island. Of course it won't immediately be at maximum efficiency, but that's why things like this are done. To learn how to do it better in the future.
Give Tesla a few years of practice at these sorts of deployments, allow for greater economies of scale, and the costs will go down dramatically.
What you're saying is essentially akin to claiming passenger air traffic is impossible, based upon the results at kitty hawk.
An onscreen controller, even with thumbstick works surprisingly well, such as with Final Fantasy VI on android -- works wonderfully. But it doesn't do haptic feedback.
It's a trade off you see; as a renowned amateur sociologist/economist i'd wager that 90% of the social issues in the US are directly attributable to outsourcing industry.
You take away the low-skill manufacturing jobs that are/were the bedrock of a modern economy, and you're left with scads of really poor, desperate people with nothing to lose.
Look at the economic success stories of the 20th century.. China, Brazil, South Korea, hell even Poland to an extent -- they DID NOT improve their economic standing with that attitude. they build stuff in their country. they export stuff.
as a dude who grew up with an NES, and having a 2.5 year old kid -- i know what console i'll be getting in a year or so. (hint: it's the switch, or a used WII U)
Partly the nostalgia, but truthfully, i'm more interested in fun games I can play with the kiddo than ultra realistic graphics (that's what my PC is for.)
I suspect there's a metric ton of 30 something year olds in a similar boat, with similar histories. Nintendo will have that as a market for years to come.
really? i have a 2014 fusion with myford touch, and an iphone 5s. it works pretty much flawlessly every single time (referring to spotify playing and the steering wheel controls changing tracks/pausing etc.)
(interestingly enough it did NOT work nearly as well when i had a windows phone)
i guess. the only real answer here is "tough shit". human beings have been pretty good at figuring out how to survive in a very wide array of environments. whatever harm we're doing to the environment, we'll figure out a way to get through, just like other forms of life on the planet will adapt as well.
cajoling anyone, anywhere, at anytime to reduce consumption (aka standard of living) is a non-starter. it's a pipe dream that green-leaning lefties try to impose on the rest of us. The right answer is to innovate ways to make things more efficient and behaving in a 'green' way, more economic, rather than less.
You will never, ever be able to sell the idea to the ~3b people living in the developing world to not follow the trajectory of the west. it simply will not happen. But by all means, eat your tofu, drive your prius and give yourself a pat on the back for making a difference.
are you implying that Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Kosovo etc were peaceful places before the US military went in? (right or wrong, that's besides the point.. personally I think policing actions like that are what the UN *should* be doing.)
Letting people like Assad or Hussein "keep the peace" through brutal dictatorships is not exactly a good solution either, is it?
aside from the snarky "blood for oil" rhetoric, why does the US have military bases spread across the globe? Is it imperialism? Or an attempt to keep the peace and prevent regional conflicts from boiling over and escalating? (Think back to the cold war, all the way back to Eisenhower, when this got started)
And yes, in terms of gross value, we do export the most arms, but it's not guns and bullets we're selling, it's planes and tanks (mostly to other western nations.)
I'm guessing more people are killed by Kalashnikov than M-16's after all.
Also wouldn't the privacy be useless unless the other party has a similar phone? I mean sure, your end of the exchange could be secure, so it would just mean the 3 letter agency would go after whoever you are communicating with.
and face it, if they are after you -- to the point where they are trying to drop eaves on your conversations, they already know who you're associating and communicating with. And probably have a warrant to get your phone records anyways.

elon musk of course.

you must not have seen the director's cut.
Though, the only reason he was able to pull it off is because everyone else got killed.

i interpreted that as the Japanese preferring to surrender to the US than the Russians (a wise choice)
by 45 the Japanese and Russians had already had 50 year of hostilities, they weren't friendly whatsoever.
but okay, America is always evil. got it.
not to mention the specter of a russian invasion is partly why japan finally surrendered in WW2.
probably because it was less about the money, and more about control over his company/baby/project

they'll have to pry my DX from my cold, lifeless hands.

Having been the bay area, I'd say about 50% of the population speaks mandarin natively. =/

because without holes/ports you can make the body out of a single piece of material without any gaps or seams in it.
sure you can make something that's largely water resistant, but that's still a point of failure.
I for one would like an iPhone that's totally wa ter proof
headphone jack: bluetooth
lightning port : inductive charging
would be completely water proof with no external buttons -- how is that a bad thing exactly?
What is manslaughter?
Augmented reality is a known, solved problem since at least the 1960's with the invention of LSD.
(and that's excluding natural substances like psilocybin. Things like pokemon go aren't an improvement by any stretch of the imagination.
for what it's worth, the french are notorious for industrial espionage. do you think they aren't trying to steal from Boeing constantly?

yeah was going to ask, are muslims exempt from this?
then there's option b, something like spotify (ad supported, or premium -- doesn't matter.) + audacity, and just record whatever songs you like.
boom! variety + economical.
