You act like parents aren't constantly hypocritical when parenting, about a great many subjects. Alcohol, tobacco, drugs, sex, driving, curse words, porn, video games, firearms, power tool safety, household chemicals, etc.
All of these things are widely available, and used / abused by parents while those same parents tell their children not to.
It's a wonder that society hasn't collapsed, according to you.
Yeah, more expensive than the red plastic containers you find at the Depot of Home, but it is far less aggravating, and will last forever with just a gasket replacement every few years.
You understand that cameras are surface mount components that go on the back, right? Where there's a sea of unused space? And the three things you gripe about need a lot of depth or volume in a device that every manufacturer (for reasons nobody quite understands) wants to be thinner?
Adding another camera might make the existing "bump" on the back of the phone for two cameras just span the width of the phone, finally making it not sit on a desk like that bad table at the diner down the street that needs a couple Sweet-n-Low packets under one of the legs...
Plus, the SD slot and battery is mostly solved nicely by something like this. $40 for a battery that will fully charge your phone twice, has a full SD card reader, a portable WiFi router with actual ethernet. And if you are really that hard up for storage space, it will accept a USB flash stick too, expanding to storage well beyond what you can get in an SD card.
Yes, you may have to carry a small extra thing, but that extra thing can be left in a backpack and used when needed with the minor inconvenience of pushing a button for a second or two to turn it on. And, the router can forward other wifi networks too, so you can use it on an airplane to share one in-flight wifi access purchase with several devices (or companions) - doing that even once pays for the cost of the device.
I'm exhausted by people thinking that autopilot isn't just a pumped up cruise control, completely ignoring the thing telling you that you still have to pay attention and not be stupid, and then proceed to be stupid and not pay attention.
Would we be hearing about someone that drive their corolla into a parked police car because they were texting? It's basically the same shit.
What, you think their update process is a TFTP box? I'll bet they are using end-to end encryption with code signing because they aren't idiots and it isn't 1994. Comparing this to wireless ODB2 is amazingly ignorant.
You think nobody is going to notice a flaw like that and post to the internet about it?
He says he waits a bit and then installs after other people get cut by the bleeding edge. The same as I do for OS updates after being burnt too many times.
Did you forget that whole thing where GM actually killed people with their defective ignition switches, proceeded to deny and stone wall until their CEO was hauled in front of Congress to testify under oath?
I think I prefer "oh we see the issue, we'll fix it real quick and you don't have to do crap, except park next to some Wi-Fi."
So you don't think that they may have been working on this already from other feedback and reviews they've gotten that said basically the same thing? Who ever said that the Consumer Reports review was the starting gun for this particular software change? Who's to say they didn't already have this ready to go in a larger update, and then cherry-picked this out for a quick update in order to deliver better braking and a needed PR win?
Clearly you've never gone to BMW, Audi, or Mercedes and built a car on their online tools - they all do the same thing. Example from BMW:
Start with a base model 3-series, add the larger engine but not the largest and all-wheel drive(330ix), and a modest (not highest end) option package, and you end up at $48,250 before the dealer charges and taxes. Base model 5-series? Starting at $51,200.
Also, it's of note that BMW, Audi, and Mercedes *never* start with new features and technology in their "compact" sedans - it always begins with the highly profitable full-size sedan 7-series / A8 / S-class, and then find there way to the mid-size 5-series / A6 / E-class, and then eventually end up in the 3-series / A4 / C-class. Why? For the same reason as Tesla started with the more profitable extended range model 3 - to pay for the development faster, work out the kinks of mass production, and then throw the factory to high speed.
It's almost like Tesla is a company that makes luxury cars, and follows the same pricing schemes and strategies as other luxury car makers. But you already knew that, and you're just bitching for the sake of bitching. Because Tesla.
Is this guy serious? Because ArianeSpace isn't subsidized out the wazoo by the EU? So because SpaceX got (far less) subsidies and managed to make better rockets with them, you're going to cry about it?
A simple message for you and your employees (if they aren't on strike right now): Adapt or die. Disruption has come to the launch market, and you can either get your costs down or not win contracts.
In any other discussion on slashdot, bringing up theoretical future products and vaporware as an argument against things actually being manufactured would be laughed off the site. But because Tesla, it's accepted.
Seriously, where are these Hyundai / Renault / Nissan / VW electrics that have the same range and performance as any Tesla? Only in people's imaginations. Meanwhile, I just saw a model 3 on the freeway in Cincinnati last week.
And if your previous product lines are not sufficient volume because they were never intended to be, you go to capital markets and get the resources to expand, yes? Literally every business does this during growth phases.
And you pay back those commercial notes with what? Future profits generated through the expansion. Also known as product margin. And that is maximized how? Producing higher margin products.
You know, exactly what Tesla is doing. Please try to keep up.
They do. I know someone that will buy 3 sizes of an item knowing full well at least two will be returned. This is the nature of buying clothes over the Internet where you cannot 'try before you buy' in a dressing room.
If people are getting the boot for that, then Amazon is inviting everyone to not buy clothing or shoes from them ever again, and may as well shut down sales of clothing.
Why wouldn't it? Tensorflow is just making a call to the CUDA driver, and the CUDA driver is loaded onto a PCI-E attached Nvidia card. There just happens to be a cable in there.
It's almost like you want to sell the higher margin ones first, in order to help pay for the amazing capital expenditure it takes to build a car assembly line.
Who is shocked by this? Nobody should be, as this is how it has always worked.
So what you are saying, is that Flash would be completely excellent if it weren't for every flawed and exploitable version of Flash Player, and every web browser it ever plugged into, and every OS that ever ran it.
But Flash is just fine, guys!
In case you are sarcasm-impaired: Flash-specific security exploits don't work if Flash isn't there.

They've had two cameras on the back for like 3 years now.

How is that different from a manual gearbox without pushing in the clutch or putting the gearbox into neutral?
Oh, you probably don't know what a clutch pedal is...

Yeah, because VW doesn't own any luxury badges (Porsche, Lamborghini, Audi, Bentley, Bugatti)
You know that VW is the second largest auto maker in the world, right?

Odd, I have a friend driving a Model 3 right now in California. How'd he get it if it won't be for sale until 2021?
Oh that's right, you are an idiot.

Oh, they only have to increase the battery capacity by 50%? I don't know why that hasn't been done already! How hard can that be?
Are you serious with that?

And you'd be surprised to know that there are people in America who don't think that way either. Don't be a stereotyping douche.

And France would be part of the Greater German Reich if we hadn't said thank you and sent a few million guys to help out in 1918 and 1943.
