Having many controls that would be buttons in most cars on the touch screen is going to be a distraction for drivers. Even stuff like the headlight controls and windscreen wiper settings are on the screen, meaning you have to glance aside and hit a touch target with no tactile feedback.
Go outside. It's been several years since people have to set those things manually.
I could quip that jQuery might be used for something else on the page that would take a LOT more code that in Javascript and, given that jQuery is already loaded, I might as well do "$("#content").html("Text")" for convenience.
Sure, I could roll my own optimized libraries for the other things that jQuery does but they'd be slower to load than an already-cached copy of jQuery and you'd still complain about them.
PS: Yes, there are web pages that only do "$("#content").html("Text")". They'll go under eventually.
a) very few savanna living prehistoric people, as we evolved to be, encountered actual coal; b) even your coal eating county dweller tends to encounter either raw coal or the combustion products of coal - specially made chemicals from coal a bit less so
Widespread encounters with coal really didn't happen until the start of the industrial era - and yes that does mean we are starting to evolve, but the way that happens is by some people dying which isn't always great.
If only humans could change and adapt to living conditions/diets outside of the savanna.
eg. Pale skin, lactose tolerance... to name a couple of the most glaringly obvious examples.
I remember reading about this in the newspaper when this stuff was first invented... it was apparently demonstrated in front of a number of people that a raw egg could be coated in just a millimetre or so of this substance, and then blasted with a blow torch on full heat for something like 20 minutes. The egg was cracked open and apparently still raw and cold after the demonstration.
It's almost as if you didn't click the video link in the summary.

Tesla is eventually going to run out of rich people to sell their vanity EV to.
Sure, just like Apple ran out of people to sell their vanity phones and laptops to!
Keep shorting that stock, guys. We love watching you do it.

And your evidence/argument was...?
If a company wants to sell a new airplane or medical device, it must undergo an extensive process to prove to federal regulators that it's safe.
That's true, but they're certifying the HARDWARE.
An airplane(sic) can still be flown into a mountain by an idiot pilot no matter how federally certified it is.
What we're talking about here is replacing the human component, not the machinery, and humans aren't very good drivers.
It matters not what life you have lived. No one is beyond God's love.
If Hitler has said those words a few minutes before he dies he'd be in heaven now?
Damn. Them's some powerful words.
"CD"? You should be so lucky.
Nope.
The employer pays you X amount of money to receive Y amount of value in return.
If you're providing Y amount of value then you're doing the job correctly, it's nothing to do with "time" or "results" or how you achieve it.
(...and what are they going to do, fire you for automating the job and keep all the people who are still doing it manually?)
If the employer receives that value that you're being paid to provide then he should have no complaints.
If the work's getting done then you're doing the job you were hired for.
The mechanism doesn't matter.
Yep. Phones are just like radios. If yours is switched off when this is sent then you'll never see it.
The only thing I want to know is have they removed the spyware and all advertising and given control of updates back to users?
Um, no. They've just added another one that lets them read your SMS messages.
(or did you think this was to make life easier for Android users?)
Who sends SMS messages any more?
Whatsapp is free, it's end-to-end encrypted, and it has a desktop mode.
This new feature is just a way for Microsoft to scan your SMS messages.
Who's going to use a phone app on a desktop anyway?
No touch screen, no vertical orientation, yada yada.

Or you could try not speeding.

Extraordinary claims just require evidence, that is all. Reproducable, confirmed scientific evidence is all that is required.
Some people like to use adjectives. If you want to treat every possible claim as equal then that's up to you.
If only there was a short video available to explain the reasons why he didn't want to patent it.
So it's a bit like UCSD P-code?

Yep. 32-bit languages totally can't have a 64 bit data type.
(or double precision math - not a lot of people know that 32-bit apps are limited to single precision!)
Sure - because it uses more resources!
Apple can drop the 32-bit binaries from watchOS, leading to less maintenance
So you are saying, better for Apple, who cares about the user.
Yep. Surely it would be better to automatically make all watch apps 32-bits to save space.
(given that they can choose by flipping a switch)
Why? Right now you're charging it every night.
Imagine if it was only once a month.
