  1. If the Tesla has an issue, ALL Tesla's have an issue.

    And ... one software update can fix them ALL. You can't do that with humans.

  2. The difference being a human that sees lane markers leading into active oncoming traffic will decide there are shenigans and not follow.

    Complete bollocks. Care to set up a situation like that and see how many drivers follow the dots blindly?

    If only batteries warmed themselves up when charging/discharging.

    Resistive-element technology to warm them up in advance? At least 100 years away!

    Let's hope so...

  10. Yep, and anybody who believes that Facebook ever deletes a single byte of information is delusional.

    It's all there, no matter how long ago you clicked 'delete'.

  11. I see that ads all over the place

    Me too, they're soooo annoying!

    What I want to know is if they guarantee that all those adverts will go away if I actually buy a copy. If not, they can go fuck themselves. Actually owning a copy and still having to sit through that crap will lead to firebombings.

  13. "trick students into life long debt slavery" - not living beyond your means and simple math... if you can't do both your not smart enough for the watered down courses that pass as 'university' now days

    Doubly true if your debts were racked up while chasing down a career in media studies.

    The correct response is to stand on the sidelines and see if anybody believes it.

    The incorrect response is to stand there and shout "WATCH OUT IT'S AN APRIL FOOL'S TRICK!!!!!" to anybody else who comes near.

    A lot of people believed the spaghetti tree story.

    Amen.

    Been there, done that

    You're missing the point.

    What he really wants is:
    a) The taxpayer to foot the bill instead of Facebook.
    and
    b) To pass the buck to the Government every time the system fails.

    You're also supposed to look at the big picture and realize that a couple of boats isn't going to make the slightest difference to such a huge problem. Have you ever seen how big the oceans are? Do you have any idea how many billions of tons of junk are out there that need collecting?

    This kid's "genius" solution has been debunked dozens of times.

  23. Re:is there any towable plastic concentration syst on Ocean Cleanup Foundation Plans Relaunch of Giant Plastic-Catching Trap (theoceancleanup.com) · · Score: 1

    it seems you could just have all the ships tow something around to catch and concentrate plastic. and as a bonus, if it ever breaks, you don't need to locate it and tow it back, it's already being towed, they can just disconnect it when it reaches port. i don't know if this would work for microplastics.

    It's almost as if you don't know there's other stuff in the sea that's supposed to be there.

    You don't want to be trapping that other stuff in giant nets.

  24. If you figure $50 an hour for labor, you're looking paying over $100 in labor and parts when you can just buy new ones for $150

    It's almost as if you're unable to imagine a different design where it's intentionally easy to replace the batteries.

    Do we get consultancy fees if we answer this?

    The very nature of an ARM processor should be more tolerant simply because they produce less heat, but I can't seem to find any manufacturers exploiting that fact.

    The processor heat will be a tiny part of the overall equation.
