So you think that if they wholesale replaced hundreds of servers in their datacenters, that there wouldn't be any emails or records as to why? Or if they replaced their primary provider of datacenter hardware, there wouldn't be any documentation or emails kicked around at any level as to why?
Business doesn't work like that. "Hey, let's toss tens of millions of dollars of servers because no reason! Okay!"
Plus it makes you look like the good guy, and the defendant looks really shitty should the trial come around. You gave them every chance to not run the story by denying it on the record, then asking for a retraction on the record. They stood by it still, even after you conducted an internal investigation and have no record of anything close to what the story says.
It probably gets pretty close to proving negligence, which allows you to turn a nice chunk of Bloomberg's bank account into Apple's bank account.
So because you visited China a month ago, you're now an expert on their intelligence gathering abilities?
Doesn't seem like they are doing a very good job of hiding anything at all if some moron bumbling through the Guangzhou airport can trip over the smoking gun of a massive state-sponsored information security breach that eluded the biggest names in the tech industry for years.
Or you are full of shit. I think I know which is more likely.
Until it's coming from a reputable source, and I certainly don't mean SeekingAlpha, it's shortsville FUD.
Most likely, this is about repricing the full-self-driving option to be more realistic about what it will take, now that they have to replace the computer to get it done.
Violence is a great response to conflicting ideas. Plus, being a tough guy on the Internet definitely helps your argument, and won't get you mocked at all.
In order to do that shit, there needs to be concerted effort and direction of resources to it. Our dipshit politicians can't even agree it's a problem, much less starting up a Manhattan Project or Apollo program sized effort worth of resources to do something about it.
The first step to solving something is admitting the problem exists to begin with.
Because this is a global problem that Republicans are effectively blocking solutions to, in one of the few nations with the resources and capabilities to make the difference between total global catastrophe and narrowly averting it?
Don't be smug, in this case it also makes you look stupid.
Rising incomes don't cause people to buy low quality local-made shit instead of low-quality shit made in China. It either causes people to buy even more cheap shit from China, or higher quality shit also made in Asia.
Short version: if American manufacturing actually made quality shit, it would sell regardless of postage rates.
Sounds like this gets fixed by properly classifying China as a developed nation instead of taking our ball and going home to pout.
I don't know enough about this treaty to know the process for reclassification of a country, or if there is even an instrument to do that, which might be the problem.
Now only if "American" corporations actually manufactured anything here. Even large durable goods which were the backbone of American industry are made in Mexico due to NAFTA.
So all this trade war bullshit does is raise prices for Americans, offsetting any gains from the tariffs and increased postage rates and then some, just so some populist asshat who doesn't listen to advisors and experts can score cheap points with the largely ignorant public with oversimplified talking points and applause lines that mean nothing.
Note that it's fine that the public is largely ignorant on global economics and foreign trade treaties - that's why we have experts and the US Department of State.
As it turns out, details and nuance matter in the long term, and this president is far too happy to trade the long term for the short term self enrichment. I guess that's what we get when we elect someone who "will run the country like a business" - we get a government more concerned with the next quarterly numbers and not the next 20 years.
Wildly off topic, but I guess I wonder why anyone gives a single shit about if she has native American blood somewhere in her ancestry or not. Does that all of a sudden make her policy stances more acceptable? Less?
In the United States, and specifically in California, the traffic entering the highway yields to traffic already on the highway.
If there was no collision between the cars, then the Camry was at fault. They should have moderated their speed (read: slow down) and merged behind the Prius instead of trying to outrun it before the auxiliary lane went away. Bad, aggressive driving was responsible for this wreck.
You're still well below the cost of this thing, without the very real risk that this company goes titsup and you're left with a $500 brick due to them routing all your shit through them.

No, they just treat all off-topic posts equally.
Equality for all!
Except for every product that has had an option to pre-order, ever.
You are not a lawyer or law enforcement officer. Don't act like you know things you clearly do not.

How do you prove that you weren't hacked? What kind of dispositive evidence do you think they could come up with?
How about Bloomberg proves they were, or comes up with a sample of the hardware? Around these parts, you need to prove claims, not disprove them.
First step is asking for a retraction. If they don't, then you have damages as well when you sue them into oblivion because you can add negligence.
IANAL

Autopilot is still available. The full-self-driving option was buying vaporware.
They've taken away the vaporware option until it actually exists.
If you think they aren't still working on it, then you aren't very smart.
Full self-driving != Enhanced Autopilot.
Enhanced Autopilot is still and option, and drives millions of miles without issue.

Never post here again.

Why is he wrong? Oh, you can't argue with the logic so you'll just reach into the ad hominem bag.
Go away.
W wasn't even close to the worst. William Howard Taft and James Buchanan would like to have a word with you about that.

Yet the world still runs on fossil fuels.

The things that voters choose to care about...
Especially when the accident was the result of some dipshit in a Camry that doesn't have a god damn clue about how to merge onto a highway.

It's so precious that you assume they give you the option to change the upstream VPN provider.
Awesome. So this $500 device depends on this company to exist to have any value at all.
