  1. Re:backlash on Tesla Posts Second Profitable Quarter Ever (bgr.com) · · Score: 1

    Maybe you should ask Consumer Reports who rated it the best car they have ever tested and recommend you buy one?

  2. Re:The real story: on Tesla Posts Second Profitable Quarter Ever (bgr.com) · · Score: 1

    Glad you pointed to the proof of this. Oh wait...

  3. Re:fun fact on Tesla Posts Second Profitable Quarter Ever (bgr.com) · · Score: 1

    I bet you can't provide a single shred of proof to either of those claims.

    Right there with you.

    Batteries are in their infancy for this, getting better every year.

  6. Re:Removable battery please on Samsung is Hoping To Rekindle Note Brand Name Next Year (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 2

    I have a Note 5. Replacing the battery is fairly simple even though it's 'non-removable'. I'd imagine the others are the same.

  7. Good, I love the Note 5. on Samsung is Hoping To Rekindle Note Brand Name Next Year (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1, Informative

    Best phone I've ever owned. Amazing camera and blazing fast. Need to add external storage, and a removable battery (although you can replace the 'sealed' battery with little effort).

    He was clearly exaggerating. It's more like 7 mph.

  10. You should start watching it then, because every 'take' I see that have both a republican and a democrat arguing against each other or getting their point of view.

    It's a sedan.

  12. They will get better at not falling off cliffs? on US Army 'Will Have More Robot Soldiers Than Humans' By 2025, Says Former British Spy (express.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    What an odd thing to note in the article. How many robot trucks have we lost so far falling off cliffs? Why are the driving on cliffs in the first place?

  13. Do you seriously want to drive a car that looks like Jar Jar binks?

  14. Re:self-driving or assisted driving ? on All Tesla Vehicles Being Produced Now Have Full Self-Driving Hardware (jalopnik.com) · · Score: 2

    I'd like to see the Tesla pull over if a police officer waves it over from the side of the road. L5 requires that.
    I want to see the Tesla navigate construction cones when lanes are shut down. L5 requires that too.
    I want to see the Tesla go through a red light when an Ambulance comes up behind it and there is no other way to get out of the way. L5 requires that too.

    And there is probably hundreds of items like that L5 requires. So remains to be seen if they are really L5.

    Some people don't have very good memories.

  20. Why did you even bring up the airline industry in the first place? Flying a plane requires a tad more instruction than getting a drivers license.

    They should rig it with explosives instead, I bet they would have a much better outcome.

  23. That's fine and all, but you're totally missing the point. The point is that they are breaking the rules of H1B. Focus on that in your response.
