Different manufacturers (Lexus, BMW) have done automated highway driving for years. Highway driving is the easy one. I know you think Tesla invented the idea, but they really didn't. It isn't hard to make a car follow lane markers on a highway and avoid other cars. The hard part is the 20% of the rest. Get a grip on how complex non-highway driving is.
You can't even get Federal approval for such a thing in 5 years, let alone 2-3. And the technology isn't even close to being done. I personally doubt it is possible to make the technology work reliably, ever.
Bruce doesn't know he died of a mental illness. They weren't close, they weren't even friends. He doesn't know if he was mentally ill. I suspect he was, but who knows. Maybe he was taking some crazy drug. Maybe that was his true personality. The problem with mental illness is that the line isn't straight. If you have cancer, you have cancer. It isn't as clear as mental illness. I have people I thought were mentally ill, but what do I know about what is "normal"? Hell, I might be crazy. After all, I visit this site often and every time I do I get a bit crazier.
I didn't say consumers were ignorant. I said they don't really care. You are talking about something totally different, a single supply chain in the US, which isn't as accurate as you think. I never argues against the FDA. I am talking about a GLOBAL supply chain obsessed with making money. The only benefit you would find in a CSR number is a warm happy feeling like the one you see when you look at the Fair Trade logo on your Starbucks cup. It is fake because it doesn't reflect reality. These type of programs are there so that hipsters like you can feel good. It is just good marketing.
Because Google is your new ISP and Google makes ChromeOS devices. You need a ChromeOS device to get on the Google network. Don't think that can happen? Microsoft planned to do this type of thing in the 1980s until the Internet foiled their plans. It is a great revenue stream.
Android is still a closed walled system. There is a rush towards closed systems and it is gaining momentum. There isn't a rush away from Pi or Arduino, but there isn't a guarantee that such systems will remain available forever. I can see a day when ISPs start requiring "approved hardware" in order to connect to their networks for example. I can also see a day when Google starts requiring Google approved apps and turns off the adb install route. It may not be today, or tomorrow, but it is a threat.
Great idea! Now all we need is an organization who can go and rate every supplier and manufacturer on the planet! And do regular checkups to make sure their ratings are still accurate. And they would be funded by the suppliers and manufacturers, but they would be totally independent because,well, just trust them. Or we can just have each supplier rate themselves!
People who suggest these types of schemes don't have a handle on modern supply chains. It is a race to the bottom. The manufacturers and suppliers are bloodthirsty and running on thin margins. They don't give a damn about you, the kid who is making the shoes, or the environment. Most people are not "in tune" with corporate social responsibility at all. The hipsters see the posters in the Starbucks and feel good about themselves. Meanwhile Disney hires a bunch of H1B and lays off Americans, and people still flock to Disneyworld and Star Wars. People aren't "in tune" with anything except marketing.
They need to fight the coming tide of walled gardens and closed systems. The availability of freely programmable general computers is not guaranteed. We are seeing a rush towards closed systems like iOS and Android and corporate controlled app/software stores with signed code. I hope in 25 years end user programmable computers will still be affordable and widely available with access to the Internet.
But you wouldn't know anyway. All of the data used here can and will be faked. There is too much money to be made. You will never know where your diamonds come from, or your clothes. The global economy allows for a race to the bottom. This is why so much effort has been made in opening up trade borders. These types of efforts are just "feel good" so that us Westerners buying our $4 Starbucks think that the coffee is shade grown and handpicked by Himalayan virgins who are earning $100 per hour with full health benefits.
Now with the Paris accord in place, and the fact that the EU has been reducing their Co2 emissions every year since we learned that Co2 emissions cause climate change, we are on the right path. What is that you say? The EU has been INCREASING their Co2 emissions every year, not reducing them??? Very strange. Why would they do that? I thought they didn't like AGW. So why are they doing the opposite?
Interesting! I must have missed that part. I'll need to watch it again. But obviously training is overrated. If you can kill one of the major Dark Force guys using half-forgotten lessons it must not be very difficult to master. Maybe just a short course is all that is needed.
One great thing I learned in the latest SW movie is that you don't even need any training to use the Force! Just select a Stormtrooper and say slowly and firmly a command. If it doesn't work the first time, just close your eyes and breathe out and try again. Voila! It will work! And then after that you can use that same new found power to kill a guy who has been trained to use the Force. I don't know why Luke would even bother to try to train Jedi in the Force. You can pick it up in 15 minutes.
It is irrelevant to the topic which is ONLY CS education in schools. So stop with your microaggressive behavior and creation of a toxic environment by bringing in offtopic issues.
I was thinking of this the other day: we need someone who can maintain a good HOSTS file that we can all subscribe to. Anyone know of anyone like that? As a bonus, the maintainer should be grumpy.

Yes it is related when he says OWNERS WILL BE ABLE TO in 2-3 years. They won't be able to, legally or technically.

The feature is in Beta. Thats what I want: Beta software in my car. Here is a link to the release notes: http://www.teslamotorsclub.com...

Really? How do I assemble a phone? Not realistic.
Android isn't Free software. It is controlled by Google, Inc. It may be free, but it ain't Free.
But everyone is buying "their" product. That is why Android/iPhones are everywhere and open phones are not.
Sure you can do that. But don't try to attach it to a Google(tm) or MicroVerizonSoft(tm) network. Not permitted.
Because Google is your new ISP and Google makes ChromeOS devices. You need a ChromeOS device to get on the Google network. Don't think that can happen? Microsoft planned to do this type of thing in the 1980s until the Internet foiled their plans. It is a great revenue stream.
You ask too many questions. Just pay your $100,000 for your "Ethically Made" sticker for your product and shut up.

I prefer the term "hugcircles" because in a circle everyone is equal.
Hopefully they can use this tech to reduce microaggressive behavior and to create inclusive, safe non-toxic environments for everyone as well.
Slashdot is getting paid to accept these submissions (along with HughPickens, etc). They arent getting on the front page via firehose/merit.
