No I mean the command line. The Textual User Interface if you like. Perforce's command line for example was a doddle to use compared with git even as it is now, let alone how it was when Linus first released it.
Git still has terrible command-line tools, where the meaning or all the arguments is very obscure and non-intuitive. The only thing that makes git tolerable is a good GUI. And there isn't one included.
Someone bad mouthed Perforce earlier. For sure it's a previous generation of SCM, which requires a central server, so people have moved on. But what it did have were command-line tools that were easy to use, with arguments that made sense, and a good IDE included - though with far less reason to use it than with git.
Click the link and take a look at the photo. These kids escaped because of the massive crumple zone in the front. No front engined ICE car has such as massive crumple zone. And probably no rear or mid engined one either.
It's a lot more complex than you seem to be aware of. As childish arguments like enforced diets on desert islands, thus entirely avoiding the critical question of appetite, clearly demonstrates.
If you think it's simple, then you haven't been affected by it.
No, your anecdote does not make the science wrong.
No one is disputing that if you are forced to stop eating by being in a concentration camp or a desert island you lose weight. That's not the issue. The issue is that "Eat less" is not simple. The body controls weight by appetite. And the strength of appetite, over the long term, is far stronger than the conscious will.
If you haven't experienced that, then you are a lucky person. Not a correct one.
The electric company is a business, not a charity. Of course they are going to sell electricity for substantially more then they buy it for. That's what businesses do. So unless a country's government mandates them buying electricity from consumers at a similar price to supplying it, Powerwall makes sense.
At the grid level, unless you have a very flat country, it makes more sense to use pumped hydro than batteries anyway.
Ah, so you've levelled up from appeal to what authority didn't say, to what thousands of authorities, who you've no idea about, didn't say. As if saying the word "thousands" strengthen's your case. Who's being ridiculous? You.
You'd do better to compare to a mob (crowd). The mob has a variety of different inputs, views and desires. And all are interested by what the other people nearby in the mob. The mob can end up doing things without anyone being in charge. You might try and predict what the mob will do, and you can certainly come up with post-hoc explanations for what the mob did.
The mob is the parts of the brain of which you are not aware, that collectively make a decision. Not consciously, not rationally, but as a balance of many things. The conscious mind is the one that might try to predict the decision or come up with post-hoc rationalisations for why the decision was made.
Whether it's free will depends on whether you define will a conscious thing, or the entire functioning of the brain, conscious and subconscious.
Yes, the definition if free will is very much the issue. People mostly believe, especially when using the word "decision", that the conscious mind is making decisions. But recent science says that we do not make conscious decisions. They are made subconsciously, with the conscious merely inventing post-hoc plausible explanations for why that decision has been made, if called on to do so.
For sure we are reacting to inputs, and getting an output, and the illusion is that the conscious mind that is deciding the output from those inputs. But the decision making is wired a hell of a lot lower.
Do you do realise appeal to authority is a fallacious argument. And that was even worse - it wasn't an appeal to what some authority has said, but to one that hasn't been said.
And pointing to another person's prediction being wrong is irrelevant to whether mine is good.
I think a lot of people are going to be surprised with how quickly it happens. 2020 is only 3.5 years away, yet I'd expect about 10% of sales to be EVs by then. And effectively no sales of gas cars by 2030.
Of course they'll linger for a while as cars don't get taken off the road till they have serious collisions or the cost of repairing something that went wrong outweighs the ever decreasing resale value. But it's surprising how quickly the car stock gets changed. Most of thhe cars you see on the road are less than a decade old. (From my observation anyway - that will vary depending on where you are.)
Locomotives aren't really a comparison as they are industrial machines designed to last for many decades, with every single part maintainable.
Instead look at VCRs. Virtually no one has one these days. They lingered under people's TVs for a few years unused, but now they are mostly disposed of. When did you notice that virtually no one had a VCR any more? How many years was that since everyone had one?
The tipping point for technology happens pretty quick.
It's got to be the stupidest time to set up a gas delivery business. Just as gas powered cars are going to be obsoleted. OK, they're not obsolete yet - but it's hardly a new business model that has a future.
I guess because he's annoyed by the constant speculation that he might be Yakamoto. Whilst Bitcoin is still a thing that wouldn't have stopped. But removing the mystery means a flood of media interest for a while, but then it'll be yesterday's news, and he'll get a bit more peace and quiet.
It's a V1 product. At V1, the iPhone didn't have apps, was 2G, didn't have cut'n'paste or any form of multitasking, and was slow. What will the v6 Apple watch do?

Nothing at all wrong with the user interface. "git clone", "git add", "git commit", "git push" ... how hard is that?
That part isn't at all hard. But you're on page one of using git with that.
It's a hell of a lot easier to write a GUI (or web) interface for a CLI tool than vice versa.
But there are no downsides to writing a command line tool or tools with easy to understand and use models and parameters.
No I mean the command line. The Textual User Interface if you like. Perforce's command line for example was a doddle to use compared with git even as it is now, let alone how it was when Linus first released it.
Shame he didn't think about the user interface before he started coding.

The car is as safe as any other modern car.

It has nothing to do with social science. This is recent neuroscience, which has been making huge strides forward in recent years using fMRI.
Try a bit of research. It's interesting stuff.
How on earth is it possible to misunderstand this
I don't know, but you're managing it quite well.
No I didn't. You misunderstood.
I pointed out that it's not that simple.
What an empty life you lead if you only do things for your job.
It's a lot more complex than you seem to be aware of. As childish arguments like enforced diets on desert islands, thus entirely avoiding the critical question of appetite, clearly demonstrates.

Seriously: You fat? Eat less. It's that simple.
Science says you;re wrong.
Your experience of being a few pounds overweight is not the same experience as someone who is seriously obese.
It doesn't even take much "will power".
Then you're probably not one of the people with the problem. Huge numbers of people are though.

Where do you think your computer and smartphone are manufactured, dummy?
As I said, a lot of people are going to be surprised with how quickly it happens. Including you, apparently.
I don't need any evidence for "I'd expect that..."
It's a prediction. You can't prove a prediction, one way or the other, until the time has come. See you in 2020.
