Dude, you need to understand what you're talking about before you post such nonsense.
First of all, Kona does not have anything close to Autopilot. They have the ability to have BASIC lane keeping assist and adaptive cruise. This is not "Autopilot" which includes full self driving from on ramp to off ramp and features like Summon today, and full 100% self-driving in the future (all Model 3s are Level 5 capable vehicles). TLDR; Kona has Level 2 self driving which is extremely basic. Tesla Model 3 has Level 4 and all owners will get Level 5 via a software upgrade.
Second, the Model 3 *DOES* have heated and vented seats front AND rear. The Tesla infotainment system is light-years beyond Android Auto.
Do your research. The idea that the Kona is more advanced than the Model 3 is farcical. They're not even in the same class - the Model 3 competes with the BMW 3 Series and the Audi A4, not Hyundai.
There is a reason the Model 3 is the #1 selling car in the US right now and it is not just because it's an EV, its simply because it's more advanced than most competitors.
I don't think you realize that in Canada in the winter, when not on DST, it is actually dark BOTH when you go to work AND when you go home. In December and January the sun does not rise until after 8 and it sets by 5. You basically have no exposure to real daylight during the workweek.
As such, I would much prefer to be on DST year-round, as do most other people who I have discussed the issue with. You would at least have about an hour of daylight at the end of the workday.
While what you say is true of acquisitions in the past, I think if you looked at more recent acquisitions from the past 10 years you will find a lot more success.
RMS is an absolutist that believes that the author or a work should have fewer rights than those who receive the work.
He quite firmly believes that it is immoral for someone who creates a work (a program) should not be allowed to do what they want with that program; that they SHOULD HAVE TO distribute the source code for the work. If RMS had his way, all software would always be mandated to be GPL, and licenses like BSD and MIT would not exist.
I am sorry, but I fundamentally disagree with many of RMS's viewpoints. If I am the one spending all of the blood, sweat, and tears creating a work, then I should be allowed to distribute it however I want.
The article did not say "we suspect a nation state has the capability to compromise Apple's supply chain". Nor did the article did not say "a nation state has at some point compromised Apple's supply chain". Either of these could be forgiven.
The article said "this specific nation state compromised Apple's supply chain in this exact way with this exact method during this time window". It was *extremely specific*, and provably false.
It is not up to you what comes on your phone. It is up to the manufacturer.
The question you need to ask is, do you seriously think Samsung, LG, Huawei, etc. are going to go to the trouble of building, packaging, and selling a "Google-free" phone that costs $40 more, for the 0.1% of customers who want said phone?
It's pretty simple. As the world moves to cloud, the value of the source code for services is not as high as it once was.
Imagine if all the source code for Office365 was posted today. You would find throughout the code innumerable references to dependancy cloud services hosted on Azure. It would not honestly be of much use to copy without also having all of those services also copied, AND the infrastructure orchestration needed to run them.
Now, is there still value in cloud code, to learn from and draw inspiration from. It's just that the barrier to entry now is so much significantly higher that cloud vendors don't have to worry so much about "secret sauce".
"The narrative that some companies will try to get you to believe is: I've got to take all of our data to make my service better," he said. "Well, don't believe them"
Tim... you need to talk to your legal and product departments. Your EULA has the same provisions in it. It's also how Apple Maps gathers all of it's data, and how Siri (which does it's processing on Apple cloud servers like everyone else, NOT locally on the phone) knows anything at all about you.
It's worth noting that Musk is by far Tesla's largest shareholder, and it would be well within the realm of possibility for him to form a voting coalition with other large shareholders to control the board if he so chose.

This already exists and is called OpenID Connect. It works quite well for the most part and is what makes all of the "Sign in with Google" and "Sign in with Facebook" (and used to also have Sign in with Yahoo) buttons work across the web.
It has not taken off for a couple of reasons
- Misunderstanding that by doing this you are giving Google/Facebook/Yahoo access to your data on that site (you aren't)
- Misunderstanding that by doing this you are giving that site access to your Google/Facebook/Yahoo password or information (you aren't, unless you approve it explicitly - and you never give them your password).
- Difficulty to implement "in the olden days" limited it's spread. This is no longer true.
I use "Log in with Google" everywhere I possibly can. It is much more secure than making identities on third party sites.
There are no free passes in life, and no participation trophies.
If you get a free pass on giving class presentations through your whole school career, how do you think you will fare the first time you have to give a powerpoint presentation at the office?
It seems to me like this problem of allowing free speech while keeping the general public away from toxic posts was solved ages ago by Slashdot and it's system of moderation and meta-moderation. If only other sites would adopt the system.....
Its not that simple. You don't need to just create the technique, you also need to create a way that recieving programs can detect that the technique is being used. You also need to have a huge number of techniques to avoid behavioural and anomaly detection algorithms (it is pretty trivial to spot a pair of communicators who do nothing except shuffle SVG images all day, this would set off already-existing behavioural security alarms in any network monitoring package that exists today).

What you say is true when in-country, but not when travelling. International data at LTE speeds is still expensive.

The idea that the Kona is a "higher spec" than a Model 3 is laughable. Higher spec in what sense?

Everyone the age of 35 and under is going to summarily take this catalog and throw it in the recycling bin. What a waste.

See Q3 earnings.
Cognitive Solutions (Software) $4.4B
Global Business Services (Consulting & Outsourcing) $4.1B
Technology Services (S/W Services) & Cloud $8.5B.
IBM makes more money via S/W than consulting. And Cloud matches both combined.

Did you read the aricle?
The article did not say "we suspect a nation state has the capability to compromise Apple's supply chain". Nor did the article did not say "a nation state has at some point compromised Apple's supply chain". Either of these could be forgiven.

No, they will not.
There was no breach. Bad reporting.
A vulnerability and a breach ***ARE NOT*** the same thing, at all. The data was exposed, BUT NOT EXPLOITED.
I have seen the mainstream media male this same mistake on this story over, and over, and over again. I expect a little better from Slashdot.

This is by far the most likely scenario.

What about boards that have no hispanic people?

The "and I'm probably better off in the end" is the mass lie that Americans tell themselves. No, you are not. Source: Math.
I am as geeky as they get. And the caricatures resonate with me, and I fused to find the shoe funny, though I haven't watched it in a couple of years.
Maybe you shouldn't paint everyone with the same brush.
