I read the first two sentences of the story excerpt aloud to my husband. Our kitchen-table-top Echo Dot then cheerily announced through its external speakers: "Shuffling songs by Rick Astley!" So thanks to Amazon Prime I now know that Astley recorded more than just THE song...
An official diagnosis (which I got 23 years ago at age 46) can provide the excuses you mention - but it doesn't have to. An individual's awareness of their own profile of cognitive strengths and weaknesses can lead them to seek workarounds for, or make extra effort in, problem areas. Other people's informed awareness can lead them to try meeting an autistic individual halfway in reaching understanding; a useful strategy in general. Neither of those sound anything like a retreat...
Bought in the fall of 1977 IIRC. Had an 8080A running at 1MHz. With 48K of RAM, the thing cost $1850 at a time when low-end cars were like $1995. Used to like playing Target, but the Star Trek game was impressive too. Getting game sound through an AM radio placed near the motherboard was cool! (Yes, that was by design.) Also got a Computalker speech synthesizer board and turned the SOL into a text-to-speech talking terminal with software I wrote in 8080 Assembler.
Followed by an Amiga 500, then an Amiga 1200, then an Amiga 600. Then finally in 1995, a Packard-Bell running the brand-new Windows 95... and so on.
In the early '90s GM produced high-performance versions of the GMC Sonoma and Jimmy called the Scyclone and Typhoon. Could we hope for similar, limited-production variants of EVs (of whatever body style)?
There is a very active LEAF owners' group at mynissanleaf.com and folks have developed a battery-aging model based on formal tests and lots of user data. No one has reported anything like what you posit. How about some proof of that data?
Fine. Try this instead: at just over 4 miles/kwh, my retail cost for electricity would've run three cents per mile, or about $70 so far. That better?:-)
I'd suggest looking elsewhere than the right-leaning Wall Street Journal for an objective analysis of costs and benefits. And I've owned entry-level cars over the years ('76 Rabbit, '79 Mazda GLC) but to compare their level of features to a LEAF is simply bogus.
A little more information... the LEAF is my daily driver, but when I leased it I kept my paid-for Corolla for longer trips only. My annual driving comes to something over 15000 miles, and the annual mileage cap on the LEAF is 12000. I expect to put about 5000 miles/year on the Corolla including vacation driving. At that rate it'll last a good long while. Other EV owners have been known to rent cars for their occasional longer trips, and some lease deals even include rental credits.
Now I'll be sure to remember how impractical my LEAF is as I drive to a morning meeting, then the mall for some mallwalking, then the free charging station near the gym for half a "tank" while I work out, then...
Silly me, driving 2300+ around-town miles over the past three months for a total fuel cost of $9 (because one of my city's free charging stations is inside a parking deck) without ONCE realizing how impractical it was!:-)
...maintain an AI system of "waiting on better materials" projects while keeping abreast of materials research? Seems like they'd then know which startups to fund/acquire.

Who at /. comes up with... I mean thinks up... those things? I have great, ongoing appreciation for them.

Ironic that this directive comes from someone posting as an AC...
Amazon just recreated the Automat! Anyone else remember them from New York City?
The "FE" refers to the onboard Fire Extinguisher.
It was run in a TI portable terminal with a 300-baud acoustic coupler, dialed into the PDP-11. Caused considerable loss of productivity...
...there's JCL.

That was the song I heard on a 1403. Stirring!
Digital Burma Shave signs.
Hope so - that'd provide a bunch of jobs quickly, and the transmission infrastructure is already there...
Ever hear of leasing?
With upgraded RAM and (of course) graphics, and SSDs. Works for me...

I'd say the risk of setting one's crotch on fire counts as an "influence", wouldn't you? Or you might even run over your own head!
Sorry, but that's not true.
...seem like they might enhance fuel injection for IC engines as well. Hope somebody is looking into that...
Furthermore, in rear-end collisions both parties are somewhat guilty.
Your reasoning to reach this conclusion?
