Okay, so once you've flipped over the sack of groceries in the back seat with g-force and your kid in his car seat is crying because you jarred him. Has the novelty worn off?
You also just used a couple miles of your battery's energy. Hope it was 'cool' for you.
Does the novelty wear off for riding roller coasters? No, and now you can have your very own. Why all the hate? I don't drive a Tesla, but my 470hp Charger puts a grin on my chin every time I pull away from a light. It's not necessary to pull maximum G's when the wife or mother-in-law are passengers, or when other conditions dictate.
There are only so many 'whole foods' chumps in the world. Tesla will have to sell to normal people some day.
Every one of our (the large company I work for) parking garages has one. The local towncenter has several. None of these are near the Whole Foods stores. The infrastructure already exists for EVs, and is only improving. Nobody who knows me would consider me a "whole foods" type. But, I'd gladly get a Tesla purely for the performance and practicality. For now, they're still more than I'm willing to pay.
I want to know more about this, and why anyone would want it. If a cop pulls me over for speeding, with it show a my guilty expression mood, or turn red if I'm having a bit of road rage?
From the article: The car’s cabin also features its share of tech, including an eye-tracking system, a curved OLED dashboard display that adjusts according to the driver’s seat position, and the ability to detect the driver’s mood using a camera mounted in the rear-view mirror. (The Mission E can reflect the mood by displaying an emoticon in the dashboard.)
You are sorry, because you don't understand that patents aren't all owned by megacorporations. My dad had (he passed away) several that kept the auto industry from stealing his designs and giving them to cheaper competitors. It didn't make him rich, but it kept his small business from folding.
"except for the tooth-and-nails resistance of oncologists to get people into hospice before they start suffering like this."
I don't believe oncologists control entry to hospice. I've lost two family members in the last three years to cancer. Each had to wait because of a lack of available facilities.
Indonesia (the largest Islamic nation in the world)

Yes, fuck intrinsic altruism and basic fucking humanity, we need to make everything about money and how to motivate people with it.
You can choose to live in your dream world, or you can accept reality. Money drives the human race, and you can cry all you want, but it's not going to change.
No, you stated that "The only capital crime under any state law is murder.", which is incorrect as shown. None of those statues shows it being struck down, only sentences overturned in a single case, and one for the military (not state law).
You made the leap to "purely capitalist society". The only implication in my comment is that they were teaching the existing system, which clearly is a form of capitalism, just not the plot you twisted the discussion into.
And which "competing systems" would you have them teach? Economics isn't a course on various forms of government, they were teaching you how the system you lived under actually operates.
Since this will contain information on people who have not been tried or convicted, or even indicted, I'm curious what protections will be taken to safeguard the data? And, what happens when some idiot decides they all deserve to be made public?
Apologies if the article actually addressed this, I only read the summary.
You're 100% correct in your point about rape investigations, like all criminal investigations, should be a job for actual police and courts with a responsibility to protect the right of the (potentially falsely) accused.
However,
In some states, rape is a capital crime, punishable by death in the US.
is wrong. The only capital crime under any state law is murder. There's a few others at the Federal level (treason and the like), but rape isn't punishable by death anywhere in the United States.
.... and third, and perhaps foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good
Having not heard this previously, I wondered if you were trolling at first. But, it turned up at the top of my google search. I wonder how that's been working for him?
Apollo as we all know was cancelled it in its 8th year, going massively over budget and producing nothing but non-functioning ICBMs.
Non-functioning in what way? Are you claiming they wouldn't work if used, or that they were unnecessary, or was it something else? If the former, is there any evidence? If the latter, the Cold War begs to differ.
Then, shouldn't there be an optimum thrust that it's set at under all but abnormal situations? I realize this isn't the Cessna that I learned on, but why make a variable out of something that could normally be a constant?

"Why make the announcement now, FUD, fear uncertainty doubt, basically to steal sales from Telsa by getting people to hold off."
People who can afford Teslas don't wait five years to buy vehicles.

Maybe you should learn to read before speaking out of your anus.

" It's not legally entrapment, but without communication, encouragement, and means, would these people have attempted to commit acts? "
When you're looking to destroy the opposition, who gives a flying fuck about entrapment?
"bad ideas?" really?
Maybe you'd care to expand on your comment, and explain why you think otherwise.

We don't actually live in a purely capitalist society.
Who said we did? I didn't even imply that our system is good or bad, only that the GP's complaint is irrational.
And which "competing systems" would you have them teach? Economics isn't a course on various forms of government, they were teaching you how the system you lived under actually operates.
you just have to accept that at this point, climate change denial is simply a religion.

According to this, you're incorrect.

Yes, I confess having jumped the gun w/o reading your full post. Apologies.
Bolden is the guy who said that one of his "foremost" tasks is to reach out to the Muslim world.

It sure as hell hasn't improved.
