I'm not really sure where the comment saying that the cargo would be the battery comes from.
I'm not sure if they're talking volume or weight - I assumed that the same volume used by a traditional cab would be batteries (as I presume for manually moving the cab in small spaces, a controller, like the ones used for UAVs would be used). Another way to look at the question would be is how far could a Model S go with the front and back trunks as well as the passenger compartment full of batteries?
I wonder if he's thinking of the autonomous trailers in "Logan", where the cargo container was put on an autonomous bed - even then, there's a lot of volume/weight allowed for batteries.
Rather than just some vague comments, a better explanation and some numbers explaining the thought process would have been nice.
I thought the whole idea of games, social media and other apps like these that they were designed to be addictive - otherwise how are users going to tell other people about them ("Man, I just can't stop playing this" or "This is the same game Alec Baldwin refused to stop playing when the plane was supposed to take off").
There's really two issues here. The first is that various apps are addictive and the answer to that is yes because they are designed to be.
The second, which I think is much more important, are the various apps not developing and harming long term thinking and reasoning skills? Are they turning us into purely reactive entities that don't think through their responses?
I guess the DJI drones are cheap, easy to use and reliable, but I would have thought somebody who gives out the certifications to buy the units would have enough tech savvy to ask questions whether or not data from the drone was stored and where was it stored.
Anything with a camera that has internet access and could store data on the "Cloud" used by military personnel should be an immediate concern and should be investigated before allowing it to be purchased. I doubt it could affect operations in real time, but it could provide images of the faces of allied forces as well as a record of tactics used.
Somebody in the Army needs to understand where the certification process doesn't work and fix it.
A local college has offered my company students who must complete an internship to get their degrees (in software engineering). There is no requirement for payment as this is a requirement to graduate and we were told by the college the best the students could hope for was a letter of recommendation. We are unusual in that we are paying the students and are working through a contract with the college to take on paid interns - this is in line with our B-Corp certification and general company philosophy.
So, for the majority of students from this college (and others), who have unpaid internships in order to get the piece of paper saying that they graduated from the program, what does this mean for their future salary prospects?
I spent a couple of hours last night helping my daughter get the Android SDK working somewhat reliably on her Win10 machine.
From what I can see, Windows 10 is reasonably stable if you leave it as is and only use Microsoft tools. Once you go what they consider "off the reservation", you're on your own and there be monsters.
The end point of the work was resurrecting her old Win7 machine and everything went together fine and quickly.
Imagine the lawsuit/settlement that you can have with a company that wrongly accuses you of working with nuclear materials based on the word of a vacuum cleaner.
They will basically give you anything you want to keep the press from finding out.
Saying that you're going to make a "big" factory doesn't mean anything as it will be years of site selection, environmental impact reports, etc.
If Mr. Cook wanted Apple to show that they cared about the countries they do business in as well as make an immediate impact, they would stop offshoring their profits and pay taxes on them in the country they made the money.
Having said that, it could be fun having the Roomba send data that indicates: - Our bathrooms are the size of Airplane hangers - The master bedroom is actually a dungeon - Our pets consist of only magical creatures - My workroom contains nuclear materials
With the very low number of infections and the monitoring of the user through like the webcam, I would think this is a case where looking at the owners of the infected Macs would yield a lot more information about the author and its purpose.
I wouldn't be surprised if this was on the Macs of individuals who have had issues with stalkers in the past.
Maybe a better question is, are passwords on their way out with inexpensive and reliable fingerprint scanners being standard on many devices and other ones having the user unlock them with a user-defined zig-zag pattern leading up to iris and facial recognition technologies. Maybe there are brain wave patterns that are unique to a user (let's see the NSA hack that).
If anything, I would expect secure logins to become easier for the responsible person to gain access easier while doing a better job of verifying that the person attempting access is the one that has it.
I would think their lawyers (and hopefully marketers) cringe every time they see a story like this. The name "Autopilot" (while great) implies that nothing needs to be done by the driver so any accidents will be the car's fault, basically by definition.
Keep the "Autopilot" registered mark when they have something that works at Level 4 or 5 but for now, call it something like "Lane Keeping Assist" and eliminate the headlines "Driver killed while Tesla Autopilot Active".
I have no trouble believing that people who submit to Git are more likely to make more money, but parsing it down to whether or not you use tabs or spaces? That seems like too fine a level of granularity.
Of course, I use spaces and submit code to open source projects, so I'm safe.

But the link is for Tesla's junk bonds.
Somebody please fix.

Is Donald Trump president?

I don't love the look of either vehicle but I think the differences are pretty significant.
Which company has more cache? If I wanted something cool, where would I go? Mom, America & Apple Pie or the company run by the guy going to Mars?
Nice to see Tesla investing in new products and investors investing with an eye towards future sales and returns.
Hopefully they'll be repaid the same way Amazon has for their investors.
If I had more time, I'd boot my old Win7 machine with Canary to find out (and I probably will tonight).
Anybody comment on whether or not Slashdot ads meet the standards of the Coalition for Better Ads?
I know this isn't at the level of what you'd see in a James Bond movie, but neither is the Sentry safe.
Congratulations to the team at SparkFun!

Hillary thought I did a good job.

Actually, that's when the fun and games start.

Appliances shouldn't report on their owners.

Thank you for the link.
The story (as told by Snopes) just didn't add up and, ironically, needed a third party to help explain what was going on.
With the very low number of infections and the monitoring of the user through like the webcam, I would think this is a case where looking at the owners of the infected Macs would yield a lot more information about the author and its purpose.

Good points.
Thanx.
Nah, I have that on a sticker on the back of the laptop's display.
Makes it easier to lie in presentations.

Lots of app developers here but how many people here are doing OS/Device/Resource human interaction specifications?
This is why I never connect to a projector with the screen duplicated - always extended.
First off, I did have a pilot's license and I definitely understand how autopilot's work and what their capabilities are.
Regardless, this is how the average person sees an autopilot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

That was a weird point. Anything can be 1 square mile in area as long as you are willing to go high enough.
Is Mr. Musk talking about a building ten feet high (roughly one storey) or 1,000? In either case, they only take up one square mile.
