You don't understand. Tesla is trying to sell to the public... and states are saying "You're not ready!"
No, that's not at all what the states are saying. Auto dealerships have paid politicians to pass laws that prevent direct sales because it is a threat to their business model.
Rent a Tesla for $1. This is a one-time offer. Limit one per customer. Problem solved.
I like this idea, but there must be some reason that Tesla is not doing it. Also, I think Tesla should focus on breaking these absurd laws. Tesla has shitloads of cash available from its founder, Tesla should take a "scorched earth" approach and start suing, and take all the way up.
The "troll" mod for the above post speaks miles about the current Slashdot commenters, who probably are the same people who post and consume porn over at 4chan.
The Ig Nobels are awarded annually by Improbable Research...
In other words, these "awards" have nothing to do with the Nobel Prize, and are essentially a "shits and grins" thing put on by some "organization" that few people have heard of?
And now it's there when you Skype with your girlfriend (hah).
Not a far-fetched idea, what with the close ties between tech titans and the Three Letter Agencies. Indeed, these folks probably would not even need cooperation to "scrape" images from Skype and similar applications.
I know everyone is all over Uber and and the other one because the cars are "nicer" and the service "better" than cabs. But I have a basic problem with Uber and Lift, and that is in the fakery of their liability claims. The facts are ( as presented in MANY news stories) if you get injured in an Uber or Lift car, those CORPORATE entities will deny virtually all liability. So you go after the driver, right? But guess what? He's not insured for paying passengers. SHELL GAME.
The story implies that COBOL is an ancient outdated language. But this is not true. COBOL serves a specific niche and does so quite well, and indeed like C and FORTRAN has been enhanced through the ages. Sure, you can't really code a bleeding edge website with COBOL (and FORTRAN), but that's not what they are for.

Don't charge $500 per game for a family to go.
For an NFL game, any seats but nose-bleed, that's low-ball.
I gave up my Seahawks season tickets and instead bought a huge TV for my basement "Man Cave", and a subscription to see the games I want to see.
Never again will I get raped by the live seat price, though Comcast (or whoever) will still rape me to a certain degree.
But with Comcast (amazingly) I don't get fucked up the ass as much as with the NFL at a "live tag team match" on the field.

There is no "right" to have a "franchised" dealer. That is something demanded by these laws.
Properly targeted campaign donations would almost certainly be more cost effective.
Apparently, they are not doing this or it isn't as effective as the money from local business?
State and local politicians know who elects them, and it ain't Elon Musk.
The courts are the only way for Tesla out of this bullshit.

It's a little computer on a project board. Nice community college electronics course project, but front page Slashdot?

Hugh Pickens is the new Roland Piquepaille.
I really could not care any less about Emma Watson or 4Chan...
Employer pays all the costs with per diem. As well, I never travel for the boss without a rental car. Seriously, no per diem, not car, I don't go.
B) Or take over.
Software developers are like fat roadies in the Rock and Roll world. If only they could walk away from the Cheetos, the world would be theirs.
Yes it is a 'shits and grins' thing, but LOTS of people know about it, and it's been going on longer than your sorry ass has probably been alive.
Really? Older than 51 years? Listen, Anon, I've worked for universities, chip fabs, and the DoD longer than you've known how to masturbate.
Go fuck yourself if your creed allows it...
It does, and I do it daily, sometimes more than once.
That's 0900 Zulu, pal.

No kidding? I saw it on the Intertubes...
So... Are you still behaving like a 14 year old? or have you matured any? Apparently not.
...it's at least clear that he has no geek background and simply caught on a good business idea.
He's a physicist.
there's a difference when a private company does it and the government does it.
Dude, step back and understand the conversation.
We are talking about the TECHNOLOGY, not the user.
I do not consent.
Unfortunately, many of the sheep in this country (and elsewhere, particularly Australia and the British Empire) simply don't care.
You are overruled. Move along...

Up to 1 million. See if you can pry it loose?
