Seems you're the one that's doing a poor job interpreting the data. Either you maliciously used a bad comparison or you couldn't find a better one.. Either way, it doesn't speak too highly of your own "high intelligence" if you immediately start insulting anyone that questions your methods.
Amazing that you would say someone (correctly) pointing out that one number is smaller than another has mental problems. Seems you didn't pick very good cities to compare - maybe it would have been better to look for two cities that started at the same unemployment rate and then only change one variable (minimum wage)
The summary says they're only $130m per unit now. Guess they've made a lot more or Trump negotiated us a discount by asking to not include guns or something
Well there was a company making these little things for $200. Looks like they just started shipping them, but I'm sure an industrial version could be made too
Some A346s have lavatories in the cargo level with a staircase running down to it. Wouldn't be a huge extra effort to put some sleeping pods there the same way.
Personally, I don't think that apps and websites should be sharing passwords.
Ah so you mean the password manager shouldn't share passwords? The problem with that is when the website and app use the same password and you update it in one, then the other now has the incorrect password and it would be a pain to update.
I know lastpass at least asks which password should be used for an app if it's a new one that's not linked anywhere else. I guess it's more of a convenience thing that you have to look out for if you download sketchy apps
A lot of apps are just mobile interfaces to services that also have web pages. Why would you have different passwords for each interface? Should there be a different password if you have a desktop app? What about a mobile browser?
So I have a driver's license and a passport, but I don't need them for the vast majority of things you list:
Buy Alcohol? Nope - only a few strict places with the police watching do that
Tax paying job? Nope - they wanted my SSN, but weren't interested in a photo ID
Rent an apartment? Nope - they did a background check on my name/SSN but didn't need an ID
Bank account? Yes I believe I did need an ID for that. Many people don't have bank accounts
College student going drinking? Fake IDs aren't valid identification and old out-of-state IDs aren't either (for voting)
Many of the people without IDs are elderly and may not need an ID for anything else, but it's hard for them to travel a long distance and wait in line for hours to get an ID only to be told they need some other form of identification. If it were that easy then it wouldn't be an issue.
Sure, if you make other forms of ID acceptable (or pro-actively provide IDs to everyone when they register to vote) then you could require that. It's still a solution in search of a problem, but I guess the whole security theater is popular with some.
Ok, sorry - assuming your post wasn't just random rambling and was actually discussing the topic of this story,
Instead of saying "you think the solution to a growing population is to give all the poor people Malaria"
I should have said "you think poor people not having Malaria will cause a growing population problem"
Hope that more accurately summarizes your insane views.
The reason it's racist is because the voter ID laws are made to target poor people (often minorities) without access to a valid ID and for whom it would be a large burden to get one. Voter fraud is practically non-existent and the laws only get passed in places where those types of people would vote against the establishment. Doesn't take a genius to figure it out.
Many people have jobs, go to school, and generally live as normal citizens without a driver's license (which is the primary form of ID)
But sometimes that's the point - like people posting videos of the victims of Mexican drug cartels who are doing it because the government is trying to hide that it happens and ignore the problem. Notifying law enforcement isn't going to do anything
So you think the solution to a growing population is to give all the poor people Malaria? That's pretty backwards. Population growth is slowed by lowering birth rates which happens when people have better standards of living (e.g. not having Malaria) and when they are more educated.
Maybe you're a vampire or something? I use one every day at my office that you just have to wave vaguely under it and it dispenses quickly and easily. It runs off 4 D-Cell batteries, so if it doesn't work on the first wave, I know to spin the knob.
Assume every surface is dirty. Rinse hands under faucet, get soap, wash hands, take towel dispensed. If inadequately dry, take new towel. Every step of that process was improved both for me by not needing to worry about touching dirty stuff, and for the cleaning staff who have less dirty stuff to clean.
Yeah, those are great too. I'm sure your argument is you can just put your dirty hands on a lever to get the soap out and you can pull out the paper towel no problem!
But it's a lot more convenient to get soap without touching anything and there's less to clean. Paper towels are easy to tear and if you can't get them out by pulling, it means you need to put your wet hands on a some lever or wheel to get them out - that's more to clean or more germs.
Technology isn't that scary, you don't have to always fear it
Yep, it's pretty useful. I can be in the kitchen cooking and just yell up at my echo to play music or change the lights. It only sends the audio back if it hears the trigger word.
Except all of that is nonsense since there was no announcement here, this was a CNET article about a patent that was filed that Tesla didn't comment on.

They'll also have all the launches for their Starlink internet service. With 4k satellites, that's going to take quite a few rockets
Yep, you wouldn't know if from the article (which doesn't mention it at all) but that's exactly what it does (if you enable the option)

That'd be pretty cool if they put a 180 cam on the nose of the plane that you could view the flight from
You can usually swap out the foam part that sits against your face. I'd expect they'd do that and wash it between customers

If you're building 100 miles, it's not so much a prototype. They have plans to build one in Chicago to the airport and a smaller one in LA to the Dodger's Stadium.

Why do you think that? Are you just anti-technology or are there actual issues that you need help understanding?
