I have seen and heard more people outraged about this than when the autonomous Uber car killed a pedestrian. In fact, some people suggested that it is acceptable for some people to die for the greater good of a future with autonomous vehicles.
That being said, with people's lives and livelihood ever more dependent on software, when are the so-called software engineers going to step up to the Professional Engineer level (like REAL engineering disciplines do), stand behind their software, and accept legal responsibility when it goes wrong?
In the 70s it was always 40 or 50 years in the future In the 90s and 00s this dropped to about 30 years in the future Seems like people may be shifting their goals and expectations to about 20 years in the future now. I would not be surprised that this decrease is due to people expecting things to happen more quickly now---not because of the technological advancements occurring in this field. Also, let's face it, the only fusion-derived electricity sold to consumers currently living will be from solar panels (the Sun is a fusion reactor after all).
I cut the cord because: 1. Service is too expensive. (I also enjoyed it when they keep raising the price for the cable box rentals because they claim it's too expensive to maintain their equipment.) 2. Less interest in the programming (Gee, I cannot wait for the next heavily-scripted "reality" TV show.) 3. Horrible customer service 4. No longer willing to pay for everyone's ESPN (I don't watch it, so why am I paying for it?) 5. I stopped going to see most movies because they suck, why would I want to pay to see it at home? 6. When I wanted to watch something (usually late at night) most of the programming seems to be nothing more than infomercials. 7. Too many damn commercials. 8. The only broadcasts I watch regularly are the local AM news and I can get that for free. Besides, all I care about is the traffic and weather.
I cut the cord years ago and have saved thousands of dollars.
Since when is Earth a good approximation for Mars? Sure, if you ignore everything else, dry is dry. If you want to study Mars, do that. Don't be such a planet bigot and say "they all look the same to me".
Makes me think of how Trump exaggerates things: This is the most powerful clock (hand waving)...it's the best clock (gun gesture)...you'll see how good it is (hand going in circles)...
The first court ruled that the drivers were not entitled to the overtime. The 3-judge appellate panel ruled that the lack of the comma made the law ambiguous, and that the ambiguity must be applied liberally. The case was handed back to the lower court, resulting in a settlement that awarded the 5 drivers $50k.
It took the US and the USSR years to solve instability problems with engines larger than the V2 rockets. Also, why would anyone trust the opinion of a software developer with regard to hardware development?
Consider JFK's longest runway. It's around 14,511 ft long. Even a 1 change will mean more than "a little bit to one side". Also, runways are typically oriented with regard to prevailing wind direction, so moving the runway may not be optimal for landings and takeoffs.
Sure, making so-called high-tech cars is not super easy, it's really hard to make any money selling cars when you cannot produce enough.
Also, since when are Tesla's cars "high tech". They are just reliability-riddled electric cars with fancy computers. More technology has been developed for the "run-of-the-mill" cars made by companies like Ford and Toyota than Tesla has. That tech, though, is just unappreciated, overlooked, and made to look easy by consummate automotive professionals that know what they are doing.
Ok, So who unplugged the reality distortion field? Unicorns are falling from the sky and moonbeams can hardly be seen emanating form the Tesla factories.
Is anyone surprised? I'm not. After all, when production numbers were low, what did Musk do? He started firing people in mass. I guess he's the only one left piecing parts of the Model 3 together while he isn't sleeping. Not bad, though. He can put 8 or 9 together a day.
I do have to wonder, though, what are they spending all of that money on?

Maybe Elon is trying to get back into Trump's good graces by making bricks for his wall.
Flamethrowers that aren't flamethrowers.
Legos that aren't Lego(tm).
Lets face it, the only thing "hyper" in Boring's Hyperloop is hyperbole.
It's called the Las Vegas Film Festival.
Cable companies will eventually drive all intelligent life off of the planet.

I could not find any mention of horsepower, voltage, current, political influence, or anything that would substantiate "most powerful atomic clock"?

That's 1 degree. Who knew /. cannot accept degree symbols?

...Stadiums is listed as one of the plural forms of Stadium in my "compact" OED, New Edition, 1991.
This is the same, lame argument that is used by politicians who want to build stadiums for their high-net-worth donors.

With how Hulu has completely bludgeoned their UI on devices like the Roku, how many of these new subscribers are simply people leaving Hulu?
seems awfully similar to:

I know I am seriously thinking of dropping Hulu because of their horrible UI.
Probably will next week---after getting my antenna installed.
We're talking price/value here. By your definition something is overpriced if it isn't sold at break-even production costs or lower.
Let's face it, Tesla isn't breaking any production records here. So, your Model 3 may be a long time coming.

Well, that explains why the SkyMall gets any business: Hypoxia-induced purchases of stupid things.
If everyone did that, who would post replies on Slashdot?
