It also doesn't cover the cost of fixing the cars... if they can be fixed. I assume that the reason VW resorted to fraud was that they couldn't make the cars run well while meeting emissions standards. If they "fix" the cars to make them meet the standards, they may not run very well (low power, starting problems, drivability issues, etc.). I can envision lots of irate customers whose cars no longer run well... VW may have to buy back these cars... that would cost a lot.
In an interview in May of this year: Porsche CEO Muller said: “I cannot say anything about Tesla,” he said. “I don’t know anything about Tesla.”
I think the Tesla is eating into their sales of Cayenne, Panamera (and even 911) so this is a defensive move. The announcement is pure vapor and it will be five years before you can actually buy one (if they decide to make it) so they are very late to the game. In five years, Tesla will have the Model S, Model X and Model 3 in full production (and maybe even a new Roadster). And... the Gigafactory will be cranking out batteries by the ton. Tesla has a 10 year head start on everyone else.
Ah, yes. We have a small library in town but they don't have any Elsevier subscriptions. I would need to drive an hour or two to the nearest university library and somehow beg them for permission to access their collection. Not a viable solution for me (or many other people).
I agree They could make a completely sealed phone. No need for any plugs of any type. Wireless charging plus all of the communications protocols means you never have to plug anything into the phone. Just seal it up tight. I don't think I've plugged my Nexus 5 phone into anything for more than a year.
You've received lots of advice on this forum... some good... some not so good but to answer your question: OpenHAB.org OpenHAB is a Java (platform agnostic) open source home automation software with bindings to several hundred different security and home automation hardware sets. If you decide to build a system, it would be a good platform.
Yes! The difference takes it from "really crappy sound" to "crappy sound". Anyone looking for anything better than "crappy sound" uses headphones or an external speaker.
Hopefully this is not continuously tracking your car and sending details of every minute of your travel to Verizon. If you want to know where grandpa is, it could just send a message to the car and retrieve the position. If there is a fault code or an accident, it could just send a message. The data use requirements for this should be minuscule (and so should the price). It seems targeted at clueless technophobes who are willing to pay for (false) security.
Is that the best you can come up with? Most people at least can think of birds. Fossil fuels, OTOH, have nasty problems like cancer, lung disease, heart disease, climate destruction (which will kill all the tortoises and birds as well as people, fish, etc. - everything except cockroaches).
Clearly the national government shouldn't regulate the militia. But every militia has rules and regulations which is what differentiates a militia from a crazy person running around and shooting up schools.
Here's the whole thing: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
A well regulated Militia is necessary and arms are necessary for the militia so people can keep and bear arms. It doesn't say anything about preventing congress from restricting arms and court decisions have held that they can restrict arms.
The amendment says that a well regulated militia is necessary and the militia needs arms. It says nothing about unregulated crazies running around with guns.
Well... It's not any crazy who loves guns. "Well regulated militia". Militia is 1. An army composed of ordinary citizens rather than professional soldiers. 2. A military force that is not part of a regular army and is subject to call for service in an emergency.

These were advertised and sold as "clean diesels". Presumably people who bought them thought they were buying a diesel that didn't pollute (much).
VW advertised these cars as "clean diesels"... an oxymoron that has now been shown to be a lie.

Yes, it's bad when you can't access the references.
No, you can't read the references... just trust me.
"Citation needed"
So, that blood on your knife is private information and not subject to search warrant, etc.?
I agree

Yes!

Like what?
Yeah, because there are no subsidies for fossil fuels.... oh, wait... about $5 trillion a year.

He makes stuff up. We make stuff up.
I guess I should have said "... but most gun rights advocates construct elaborate explanations for why it doesn't really say what it does say."
Clearly the national government shouldn't regulate the militia. But every militia has rules and regulations which is what differentiates a militia from a crazy person running around and shooting up schools.
I give you points for creativity.

"Well regulated militia".
Militia is 1. An army composed of ordinary citizens rather than professional soldiers.
2. A military force that is not part of a regular army and is subject to call for service in an emergency.
The citizens were the "well regulated militia" part...
It also specifically mentions "a well regulated militia" but most gun rights advocates conveniently forget that part.
