Senator Wyden sits on the US Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. He knows damn well that the NSA is doing the exact same shit to the countries that are doing this to us, and I'm sure he's perfectly fine with that.
What goes around, comes around. Plus, he married a rich New Yorker and spends most of his "not-in-Washington" time in Manhattan. He's only a senator from Oregon by name, and comes back to visit Oregon every 6 years or so to get re-elected; not that Oregon would ever vote for any of the stiffs that the Republican party puts up.
Any sufficiently connected device is a portable billboard that you can fit in your pocket. If it has a web browser, you will see ads. That's how the web works now.
Better yet, Wyden is on the US Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. He probably knows about, if not voted to authorize, CIA / NSA hacking of other countries leaders' email accounts.
The stench of hypocrisy is a bit too much to take on this one.
None of the other 300+ million US Citizens have their personal email "secured" by law enforcement authorities either. Maybe you shouldn't be keeping secure info in your personal email either. That's what your official @senate.gov email is for, which IS secured by law enforcement.
If you would like your personal email to be secure, you should probably self-fund that, just like everyone else. Or, get used to the idea that email isn't secure, at all.
Warm regards, Everyone else that isn't an entitled jackass Senator.
PS if this is an attempt to set the table for more excuses for electoral losses in November, it's not a good one. Complaining about "email hacking" when bad shit comes out makes you and your compatriots look like idiots because you were using insecure systems to hide shit from your bosses - the people. By far, the best, most effective way to not have disclosures of shady shit stolen from your email, is to not have shady shit in your email.
I was going to say the same thing. I don't accept the premise of the headline, due to absolutely nobody of consequence being held accountable for anything of consequence for the financial meltdown / subprime mortgage fiasco. Once we actually start holding people accountable for things, we can then worry about evil bits being set in registers.
Also good for consumers: if multiple manufacturers are using common parts, the part availability goes up, and the pricing goes down due to economies of scale.
We can't have that, can we? Better bust up this arrangement so we end up with a whole lot of snowflake emissions crap that is impossible to repair.
Affordability isn't a static line on the graph. What's affordable to some isn't necessarily affordable to you. And that's perfectly ok, for the record.
I don't know why you have broomstick up your ass about what other people do with their money.
Depending on the month in question, it's postulated that Tesla held back deliveries at the end of June in order to push the tax credit phase-out to 1Q2019. If the numbers quoted above are for June, then that could be your 2k cars.
Otherwise, it's the thing where cars are produced, but the revenue isn't booked until delivery accepted by the buyer. It's conceivable that they have 2,000 on trains, trucks, and in parking spots at any given time awaiting delivery. Every car company does. Most have far more than that in transit, especially if they ship them overseas on huge ships that are crossing oceans for weeks.
Announced, not shipping, not available in any way for any amount of money.
"looks to be better" is not actually better unless it exists. Let's see Jag, Audi, etc. actually start selling them. Right now they are vapor being pumped out to try to freeze the market.
You know they built an additional assembly line in the tent, right? The original one for Model 3 is still operating.
Were they overly ambitious with their level of automation? Sure. And that probably comes with the lack of experience as you suggest. However, it's not like they tore the whole thing out and started over like you also suggest.
Doing something shitty that people didn't know for sure they could do without user authorization isn't fixed with an "oops, our bad." And whataboutism doesn't make it any better either.
Google, et. al. should not be able to arbitrarily change settings on my device without my consent to accept an update. Period. Anything else is unacceptable. What if they "accidentally" re-enable data collection and disable privacy settings on "a wider set of users than they intended" as their next screwup? Will that be fixed with "oops, our bad" as well?
Or better yet, it detects you trying to boost something and alerts a friendly customer service rep to go have a chat with you.
And while those two are arguing (the thief being a decoy to just waste time by trying to pocket a candy bar, which he will ultimately pay for after causing a big ruckus), the other 8 guys he came in with go for the high price merch and haul ass out the door. Multiply the number of decoys by the number of loss prevention personnel employed to watch the alerts.
If you think thieves don't sometimes work in groups, then you haven't been around retail very long.
A slightly less old variant of that story: If you ask a customer what they want, you'll get the same answers as every other company out there, and you'll be selling the same product as every other company. Many times, the customer won't know what they want until it's already available and you've sunk the costs to build it.
It really didn't. In order to be a gimmick worth talking about (which is the point of a gimmick), you have to know it exists.
I would bet that upwards of 70% of iPhone users don't even know it's there, or if they know it's there they don't know what it does in any application until they try it, because there is absolutely no hinting of functionality whatsoever.
That sounds a whole lot like a waste of engineering effort to me.

He has the resources to hire to do this correctly, and not bitch and whine that the government isn't doing it for him. As for the campaigning, I'm pretty sure that he gets plenty of donations that can help to secure campaign communications.
Still not going to show any sympathy for an entitled jackass hypocrite.

I don't know why you have broomstick up your ass about what other people do with their money.
Or make a decent enough living to actually afford nice things?
Just because you don't, doesn't mean others can't.
You mean Elon hasn't invented a way to teleport the car from the factory in Fremont directly to the buyer's driveway anywhere in the world?
That looks a whole lot like logistics lots where cars are taken off trains, and loaded onto trucks for delivery.
OH NO HERE'S A LOT FULL OF CARS AT THE PORT OF PORTLAND! HYUNDAI MUST BE GOING OUT OF BUSINESS BECAUSE THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF CARS SITTING THERE!
Seriously, if this is the best you've got, just give up.
Now only if the company you're trying to "cripple" could control the output of their factories.
Oh wait, they can. And do.

Well, the first reason would be that whole "innocent until proven guilty" thing...
Yeah, because they'd never want to use all that oil money to hedge against the inevitable.
Because none of these exist:
Nuclear reactors
Hydroelectric dams
Wind turbines
Geothermal power
pumped hydro storage
grid-scale battery storage
home battery storage + solar (which Tesla sells)
Don't be an idiot.
I thought that was the entire purpose of Twitter...
You missed the point.
They should not have the capability to change settings on my device without my consent. Period.
I don't care about the why or why not of a singular event of using the capability. I care about the capability existing at all.
And yet several industry analysts are saying that Tesla doesn't have any credible competition until at least 2020 and that Tesla's lead in EV technology may last far longer than anyone thought after an underwhelming product announcement from Audi.
Maybe making an EV that actually works is hard, and the big auto makers can't slap one together at the last minute?

I'm not him / her, but the answer I'd have is that it's growing the market for EVs by introducing possible competition.
Competition makes markets healthy, and improves / matures the offerings from each competitor.
Next question?

For instance, the iPhone in 2007.
It all stems from the FCC "decency" policy that roots in the 1950s
