Something something EQUIFAX? Until there are real penalties for losing this sort of information any password aggregator is simply another word for NSA (or whomevers) Honeypot. At least when Yahoo loses all their customer data it doesn't include my prior addresses, social security number and full credit history.
It's no more (or less) absurd than Amazon patenting 1-Click or Apple patenting everything they can think of (that they didn't actually think of, they just copied and painted gloss white)
I look forward to Europe's forward thinking approach. Please replace all of those plastic cups in favor of cleaner burning styrofoam immediately and use 0.01mm thicker plastic in the straws (thereby making them qualify as multi-use and exempt from the ban). I also appreciate the de-facto ban on salads in fast food restaurants.
I have a 25 year old car that does it in 114 so color me unimpressed. It's all about contact patch vs weight unless you're going for repeated stops (aka brake fade), and in an EV one is small (low rolling resistance = more range) and the other is big (lots of batteries = more range).
Isn't that a trick question? Our government regulatory agency is run by prior executives and lobbyists from companies the agency theoretically protects us from
And if this produced thrust in any great quantities that might be super useful...as it is, unless we can harness all of crazy uncle Kim's warheads and party like it's sometime prior to the test ban treaty of 1963 we won't be exploring deep space anytime soon.
that it's only because we're forcing China to do the polluting for us, so it's still our fault! Remember, he who has the gold must be guilty of exploitation
It could be worse, last I checked we paid in cash instead of opium....that and nobody is forcing China to enforce their environmental laws about as often as the USA enforces their immigration laws.
Either way, it has nothing to do with GMOs, since there isn't any GMO wheat on the market anywhere in the world.
Different varieties of wheat have differing amounts of gluten but you're right, they're not GMO. The preservatives they use in bread products also differ.
Yeah, it was a bitter pill to swallow to pay $9k for the long range battery and another $5k for the premium package
So you're saying you need 310 miles of range in a country that is only 301 miles wide at its longest point (485 km for you) and features excellent mass transportation?
Help us peons live through you, exactly what advanced features do you get with the $5K premium package and how far was I off on my $55K USD price point discounting for tariffs and import duties?
Worse than that: We're constantly putting sensitive information out in public because, "Hey, it's encrypted. Even if someone intercepts this or downloads this, it'll take them billions of years to crack the encryption."
Unless you're say...Equifax and putting everyone's names, social security numbers and full financial history out in public due to gross negligence I'd say that's 90% correct. Thank you ever so much United States government for doing exactly nothing about it, along with all previous (less) major data breaches you did exactly nothing about. You've made me feel as confident about our digital future as I did after watching the movie Terminator.
You are thinking of Triumphs. The B-series engine was never used in a tractor. The nearest agricultural application was a combine harvester.
After much (2 minutes) of research I concur...it was used in the Marina Princess and the Wolseley 16 which is almost as insulting (although far more obscure to 'Muricans) so I'll go with that.
I'm also going to stop questioning you about the $55,000+ 'Model 3' you bought even though the theoretical base price is $35,000-rebate and still remains entirely theoretical 4+ years after Elon's big announcement.
Tesla doesn't make luxury cars. Tesla makes very expensive cars with the "luxury" level of a base Toyota.
The last base Toyota I owned came with manual windows and the exact same side impact standards afforded by a 2 day old loaf of bread but go on, sell me.
Technically 'SeaLand' can't move and had less than a dozen people on it but I'm 100% down with King Marduk I and whatever other octogenarians are still living on that WW2 era tree fort.
I haven't forgotten and am still waiting to compete with experienced IT workers stationed 24 miles of the coast of Southern California via a tether (currently MIA) as opposed to just the one stationed in French Polynesia minus the tether and running "off the grid" (also currently MIA) or the employees I currently have to wait a week for a response from who live in Bangalore India.
I forget what the issue what with makes that 24 mile tether a problem but as an engineer that makes way more sense to me than waiting 15+ hours to get an answer to my technical question which is almost always a technical question in reply leading to 15+ more hours of wait time and ultimately solves nothing since they're simply parroting some IT/bug forum they failed to quote originally.
"Exactly. So by your own account we should be seeing 1460x the coverage of the competition's fender benders. But we don't."
That's one interpretation, the other is that we should be seeing 1/1460x of the Tesla coverage that we do and their stock prices should actually make some kind of rational sense. Since I can guess which one of these Elon would prefer, I'm suggesting he STFU, but if you want to personally argue about it maybe argue the points I raised instead of making up your own and hitting reply?
Why is the public so interested in Tesla crashes, and not in the tens of thousands of auto crashes that result in deaths each year?
Statistically Tesla crashes are meaningless due to their tiny market share. Tesla complaining about that is funny. Tens of thousands / Hundreds of Millions of cars = not that much. Tesla claims they are far superior so yes, when they crash there might be a tiny bit more scrutiny. I don't see how that is either public or the media's fault, Tesla invited this by saying how much better they were while failing to produce more than a tiny amount of niche market cars.
This isn't necessarily because they are safer but because nobody can afford them and Tesla is incapable of building them in any kind of volume,
The Model 3 in my garage suggests that you are wrong on both counts.
The Model 3 in your garage suggests that you were willing to buy a supposedly $35,000 car minus rebates for $55,000 because nobody that pre-ordered the base model has yet to receive one to date. They started delivering dual motor version this year (edging ever closer to Model S specs) but the base edition that competes with the Bolt? Still MIA.
These statistics remind me of the previous media crusade against Tesla: Car fires. OMG Tesla's are unsafe because they can catch fire! The media seemed to want to cover a car fire every opportunity it happened to Tesla. I didn't hear of the 150000 other non Tesla fires that happen either
What media crusade against Tesla? https://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/...">their P/E is hilarious They have been the media's darling for years. Everytime Elon opens his mouth the stock jumps, he sells a ton of stock and laughs maniacally while cashing in. All he needs is a midget version of himself and a volcanic island and he would be Dr. Evil incarnate.
The question is whether Teslas are more likely to be involved in an accident than other cars
They are incredibly less likely to be involved in an accident than other cars because you can hardly find one outside of the San Francisco Bay Area. This isn't necessarily because they are safer but because nobody can afford them and Tesla is incapable of building them in any kind of volume, and what is safer than a car you can't even buy?
you choose to drive a classic car and the model you choose is a Gremlin? Really?
I was kidding about the Gremlin but I do legitimately own an early 50's Studebaker and a mid 60's Dodge. While I respect your choice of a tractor engined MGA that leaks more fluids daily than a jock on prom night my main point was that whole statistics thing.
When your car is under 1% of the market and you get any kind of press at all why are you complaining? Is it interfering with the hilarious pump and dump gameplan you have for producing the Model 3 due to your burn rate of $6,500 per minute? (the answer is yes).
Tesla also got butt-hurt and sued over Top Gear for (very legitimately) pointing out that when you track their car it in no way went 211 miles. Admittedly they were doing it for laughs but when your 211 mile rated car based on a track ready Lotus only does 55 miles while costing over twice as much, that's probably worth mentioning don't you think?
The throttling only affected old devices with a spent battery which was unable to safely provide the power required at peak usage anyway
If by old devices you mean pretty much anything more than two years old that you were gullible enough to accept an OTA upgrade on then sure. Until about 2 years ago I was still rocking a Samsung S3 (circa 2012).
Why yes I am a cheap bastard, that's not my point. My point is that it still worked fine in 2016 and even the battery died I could have replaced it myself inside of 2 minutes with a $20 battery. No scandal or class action lawsuit required.
As an added bonus, my 64GB memory upgrade option was $40 and not $340, another fun way Apple has been screwing their customer base over since pretty much forever.
It's super messed up that a Tesla crash resulting in a broken ankle is front page news and the ~40,000 people who died in US auto accidents alone in past year get almost no coverage.
A. It really wasn't front page news unless you count maybe the local paper
B. There is this thing called statistics. The United States has over 263 Million registered cars not including the 3 warehouses worth of them that Jay Leno owns. You have yet to make 200 Thousand. It's also expected that your brand new luxury cars will be marginally safer than my 1974 AMC Gremlin.
You'd see someone hack the Playstation to get it to do cool stuff and then a firmware update would wipe that out.
Well sure, if you were dumb enough to accept the firmware update instead of sideloading API updates designed to force you to upgrade...er...speaking for a friend.
It's sort of cool that they made this but I refuse to accept a PDP-11 that doesn't contain disc packs, tape drives and green screen terminals. It just doesn't seem right. Unlike screwing Sony in the wake of that massive rootkit scandal and a copy protection system relying on you not being allowed to run a hex editor. That seemed pretty much obligatory.

Hi Alexa, what percentage of diesel fuel should I mix with the 50 pound sacks of ammonium nitrate in my car?
