They didn't build their bot to actually give that information. You'll have to wait for version 2.0
I'm just curious where the consequences fall on the consequence spectrum - are we talking a 5-minute time out with the phone taken away; or being put up against the wall 1950s communist purge style?
It's really precious that you think the degenerates weren't always here. What you are noticing is that the quality posters have left, so the signal-to-noise ratio has lowered.
You didn't notice the noise when the signal was strong. Now you are straining to hear it through the static.
These days it's less of a gamble if you are shorting - just write a bunch of FUD as an article and post it to a crowdsourced "news" site like SeekingAlpha, and all of a sudden you are at the top of everyone's Google searches on that company! Your piece of shit "thesis" based on old information and wild ass guesses gets read by tens of thousands of people, but it's ok because 8 pages later after a login that nobody is going to register for is where it discloses that you are shorting, and really intend to manipulate the market.
Get enough people doing this daily (which Tesla has) and you start to build a narrative made largely of horse shit - they can't make cars; they are all broken as they come off the line; they have no cash flow; their debt will come due and they'll file for bankruptcy; nobody is buying the cars; they just have fields of cars laying about with no buyers; it goes on and on, and all of it is pure shit from a horse.
Any time there is good news from Tesla, within 48 hours there is fresh steaming horse shit on offer from the shorts, which the press is all too happy to run citing "unnamed sources" because they are succumbing to click-bait and are in the business of selling advertisements; nothing to lose there because Tesla doesn't buy advertisements.
Getting back to todays fresh equine excrement, Tesla says that they have received one request from DoJ months ago (reported as well then) and have had zero requests for info, subpoenas, interviews, or anything else of note since. But you have to have already clicked into the article to see that this is a huge nothing sandwich, and CNBC has already been paid for the ads, and the FUD headline is already out there on everyone's feeds.
A headline like "No movement in DOJ - Tesla investigation" doesn't get the same attention I guess... probably because no body will click on a story where you are literally reporting nothing. So instead they'll put out old stale news with unnamed sources saying shit that is old and stale, but they serve it up like fresh pie, only nothing at the end that it's old and stale.
Oh good, so all we have to do is wait until after the mass migration of billions due to desertification and coastal destruction from rising sea levels and more powerful storms, the famine, the wars.
Great solution! I think I'd rather skip all that and just stop fucking everything up instead.
Answer: basically all of them in the US, and more around the world. But any new reactors would be so-called generation-4 which have better safety systems. I doubt they are as safe as the nuclear industry is trying to sell, but they are sure as shit safer than the 40+ year old BWRs that are having licenses uprated and extended because we aren't building anything new.
I am impressed that you didn't read what I wrote, or at least didn't even try to comprehend. If it's not aluminum, then there's no way that repair should have cost $7000+ because any body man that knows what the fuck he's doing should be able to repair that using known conventional techniques that have been around for decades.
Insurance companies are famous for requiring repair centers to jump through hoops like demanding aftermarket panels to be fitted first before they will pay for OEM in any jurisdiction that allows them to do it. My wife's insurance company wasted everyone's time with requiring the repair center to try two different aftermarket fenders on her Honda before agreeing to pay for an OEM panel, and ended up paying more in labor to attach that fender three times than it would have cost to use OEM parts to begin with. And this isn't an isolated incident - it happens countless times to the point where there are states that have passed laws allowing you to opt-out of aftermarket parts at the time of estimation, and the insurance company has to abide by that. These laws would only exist if insurance companies were trying to use sub-standard parts in the repairs in order to cheap out, which is not returning the vehicle to pre-loss condition.
And do you think the insurance company will eat the labor on these horseshit requirements, or pass them on to the ratepayer?
If they are delivering the same features and quality for 80% of the price, then that represents far more value than other devices.
I don't know if they are - that's left to be determined by reviews once the device becomes generally available. I will say that I have a "travel" phone that I use when leaving the country that is a Xiaomi A2 Lite that works pretty good for the $100 I paid for it, albeit a tad slow and needing a reboot every once in a while; but I haven't run across an Android device that doesn't need a kick here and there. It's cheap, unlocked, rootable, dual-SIM, has an SD card slot, and the battery lasts for multiple days - basically everything I'm looking for when out of my home country.
On the other hand, the front-facing camera is only present when you are using the front-facing camera. That sounds like it would be awesome for me, because I rarely use video chat and I'm not taking narcissistic selfies all the time. I would, however, not be looking at that stupid notch any time I use the display, which is every single time you use the phone for anything at all.
Over time there might be mechanical issues depending on how it's implemented as you say. I'd also be curious as to if they can still make water resistance standards that Apple and Samsung currently offer.
It also has absolutely nothing to do with anything even closely relevant to this article. But you will still persist in trying to misdirect this shameful shit coming from Google because... well I don't know why you would do that, other than just being kind of an idiot.
So because he was privately accusing someone of being a pedophile, it's suddenly ok?
That's some DNC-level equivocation right there. Just because it wasn't meant to be public means it's fine?
Yes, the journalist is an asshole and his justification of "I didn't agree to it being off the record" is amazingly unethical, but that doesn't dismiss Musk from also being an asshole. Stop being an apologist.
The effects are not long gone. There are many cars that were purposefully destroyed under Cash for Clunkers that could have otherwise been dismantled and resold as used parts. Instead our lovely government had dealerships pouring sand into the engine and running it until it seized in order to qualify for the subsidy.
The amount of engines destroyed for no purpose was ludicrous, and the remaining fleet of cars where people could have gotten used parts to keep their car running now have much more expensive repairs, if they can find parts at all, for cars that really aren't that old and definitely were not uncommon.
Cash for Clunkers was a corporate giveaway to the auto industry with a very thin whitewash of "raising overall fuel efficiency" applied to sell it. It was wasteful in practically every way.
Many cars can be repaired just fine, it just requires a slightly different skill and tool set than a 1970s Chevy Nova.
I have a Land Rover that was giving me air suspension issues, which causes most people to groan and take to the dealer to get billed a couple thousand dollars for diagnostic time and repair. I spent $400 on a used diagnostic tool I was going to buy anyway, used it to trace the issue to a ride height sensor that was giving invalid values to the body computer, purchased a new sensor online for $20 and installed it in 5 minutes, and then re-calibrated the body computer for the ride height and all is well. And the diagnostic tool was also able to upload newer firmware to the various ECUs on the vehicle to add some electronic features available on newer model years.
Is diagnosing issues with modern engines and vehicles as simple as older cars? No, but it's also not impossible. And, if you have access to the electronic tools made for modern vehicles, the diagnostic time can be much less because the vehicle will help you to narrow down the issue to only a few possibilities quite quickly.
Sounds to me like the estimator didn't want to do the work, either because he's not convinced his body and paint guys can get it done, or because they don't want the hassle from the insurance company. I've talked to body shop owners in the past that didn't want to deal with fixing a car, so they're looking to write the repair order as high as they can in order to get the insurance company to total out the car, or get the owner to take it somewhere else. Body shops live and die by come-backs - you fix it right the first time and the customer is happy, you then only have to fight with the insurance company to pay the actual costs of repairs instead of their cherry-picked or outright horseshit lowball costs and demands to use garbage ill-fitting aftermarket panels rather than OEM right-the-first-time panels.
If the shop has expertise with working on aluminum body panels from other manufacturers that have been using aluminum for a while (Ford F-150, Jaguar, BMW, Audi) then that really shouldn't have been a stupendous repair as long as they can find out what series of aluminum is being used. And the comments about the paint are horseshit - if they are a shop that is worth a damn at all, blending paint is what their paint guy does all day long and it's only a single fender - it's not like they're taking up the whole paint booth for hours at a time for it.
There are people that buy Ford F-series trucks for work purposes - a whole lot of them. However, there are plenty of people that buy them for image, and rarely actually use the vehicle for it's intended purpose of hauling things around. Some will use them on the weekend for towing other recreational equipment - camping stuff, boats, etc.
Also, many people that buy an F-series truck for a business may be better served by an E-series van - it's cheaper, and has roughly the same cargo capacity without the thievery and cargo getting wet if it rains. Any business working in agriculture or other outdoor work is probably served best by the truck, but construction contractors usually go with the van, because they can lock up all their tools and still have room for several 4x8 sheets of wood, wallboard, boxes of tile, etc. without the risk of having all of it ruined should there be weather.
But vans aren't "cool" so the F-150 is the best selling vehicle in the world by a long way.
Every single one leaving the factory is bought and paid for, with a list of people that want to hand over money for one. That basically proves it is not overpriced, as the market seems to love the price it is at and the value it represents.

More misdirection. Only person mentioning Apple here is you.
Idiot confirmed.
Those are claims you need to back up with sources of information.
You just stated a bunch of stuff that could be dried out and used as fertilizer without any form of research to back it up.

Their police don't murder POC on the streets
No, they "disappear" people regardless of ethnicity.
The two are not mutually exclusive. Your data can be uploaded to multiple "security" agencies at once.
It's like spy agency multicast.

So the documents filed with the SEC say something different than your bullshit based-on-nothing nonsense, so the filing must be fraudulent?
Some people will really say anything just to never say they are wrong, won't they?
No. 1.15B in two quarters.
You know a quarter is only 3 months right? And there are 6 months between October and March, inclusive?
This isn't hard fucking math, but you keep shutting the bed on it.
