I would mod this funny but in case some people are really wondering this, every developped country have enough space surveillance to confirm if this is a fluke or not. In other words, if we don't heard a "Fake News" from the US, then it's true.
What happened: Robot punctured a container with a bear repellent on 24 people
What the Title Said: The Robot wanted to kill humans so it identified a powerful chemical strong enough for bear, waited for the precise moment with a lot of human nearby and spray death to those inferior being, sending them to the hospital in critical condition.
What really happened : There's a lot of warehouse with a lot of accident and there's a lot chemical and there's starting to be a lot of robot. It's just the first time everything happenned at the same time.
You do know it's not about maximising the number of animals don't you? If Friesians die out never to be seen again fine. The problem is the ethics of causing pain and suffering for something that isn't needed.
Well, if we blindly follow that logic, we should wipe out every species on earth. Nature isn't like Bambi's movie where every animal lives in harmony, it's a constant struggle for survival. We should level the whole planned and lives on plants grown in a lab.
Mostly, they aren't. Many vegans aren't interested in fake meat. It is more for non-vegans that crave meat but want a healthier, greener, more humane, or whatever, option.
Most vegan "beef" is pretty bad, but fake chicken is pretty good.
Exactly,
And I really wonder what's the objective of vegan with that sort of research. I mean, let's say they succeed to make a lab steak that's cheap and taste the real the thing. What's gonna happen?
Sure, people will go with their pocket and, eventually, realeat will disappear.That sound great for the cow/pig/chicken, right?
Except that they don't exist anymore. Nobody is gonna bread 100 million livestock for fun.
Dud he add a warp drive or hyperdrive or some other FTL method?
Its not a starship until it can get to another star system
Look like a bait...oh well.
Someone on tweeter already mentionned that point to which Elon replied "Later versions will" Link : https://twitter.com/mwolman98/...
If I may add, a warp drive/hyperdrive/FTL isn't a requirement to reach another star. I'm not saying that a viable way to reach another star exist, but if Elon does have some design to accelerate and (more importantly) decelerate a "starship" to reach another star, I'll be very interested to see it.
The problem lies in color separation. A single piece of broken green glasses can corrupt a ton of white glass bottle. You cannot mix the color. Then there's the near infinite variation in glass bottle color, especially in the wine industry. The recycling industry is trying to automate the whole process, but colored piece of reflective glasses is quite difficult to handle in volume. So far, the only things worth recycling (economically speaking) are standard beer bottle. All the same brown/green/white.
For aluminum cans, no matter what color it is, you put them all in the same oven.
Google decided not to include a camera in this device for privacy reasons, as they want you to feel comfortable placing it in an intimate location, such as a bedroom.
When in doubt, let the customer choose. For instance, sell one device with (Pro?) and one without. Or you can add some little door to hide the camera.
As for the piracy concern, I baffle me how anyone could fell threatened by some Google Home with or without camera but don't mind a cellphone with the same assistant. I mean, that one "really" follow you everywhere and if Google really wanted a HD livestream of your meaningless lives (and pay for it), they would have done it a loooong time ago.
I don't get this desire for "busywork" when driving. Another busywork example I don't get: having to "start" the car. If the car has already authenticated you, why make the driver go through an added step of pressing a button or whatnot?
In case you bump the acceleration pedal by mistake by turning around to reach the childrens who are already fighting about their Nintendo 3DS again?
Another scoop at 'Science 101', human are also hardwired to eat fast-food!!/Insert 'you don't say?' meme
I mean, seriously. Human (and all living organisms really) have evolved to survive as long as possible and for calories burning machine like our species, one of the challenge was to survive when food wasn't available. A then evolved to store fat, to love high calorie diet and to love 'not' wasting them when possible. That's how our body are made.
By chance, our brain is now smart enough to understand how dumb he really is. But take any animal (like my dumb cat), give him all the food of the world and he will get so fat that his paw won't touch the floor 'Garfield style' and he will die of thirst.
Assume the CEO goes from $21M to $0 and redistribute among the 235,000 employees. Everyone gets less than $100 a year.
That's $21M that goes back into the economy instead of an offshore hedge fund.
To be fair, you're assuming that the $21M doesn't go back to the economy.
Contrary of what many people think, millionaire and billionaire doesn't kept all they assets liquid and/or dormant. Their either invest it, or spend it.
I'm not trying to defend the 1%, but as a single person, they help the economy more than a single McDonald employee. Of course, they doesn't help as much as 235,000 employees combined and, for me, it's the main issue.
But as long as they send (read lend) their money to the global economy, indirectly it have a positive effect. The company that employ me exist because people invested in it. And we receive contract from company that received their own investment.
It's easy to find the flaws in our system but, like it or not, capitalism made wars much more expensive for a country than trading and this is a pretty hard advantage to beat.
"up to 80+ hours"...what does that even mean? "Up to" (meaning less-than-or-equal-to) "80" (a conveniently rounded number) "plus" (presumably meaning greater than or equal to) hours. So basically, anywhere between 0 and infinity hours? Or maybe 80 hours PRECISELY?
People who write this stuff really need to stop covering their asses because what they say has ZERO meaning. All I get out of this is "It has a battery that runs it for some completely unknown amount of time".
The way I understand it, 80 hours is the minimum but it can last longer.
Of course, "At least 80 hours" would have been better, but it sound a little...negative.
If GM took EVs seriously starting when they produced EV-1 and kept going until now, there would be no need for a Tesla. The fact that GM discarded any lead they might have had is more meaningful than how many internal combustion cars they can make.
It seem you watched "Who killed the electric car". But I don't agree.
Most of the statement is that EV-1 owner loved they car. Truth is, the car is is a huge pile of crap that wouldn't have been successful to anyone beside EV enthusiast : https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
BeauHD was told by his Arab overlords which own the parent company of Slashdot to post this story. Why? They are curious how much leverage they still have on the buy/sell algos scraping news sites. But now that everyone has fled Slashdot because of fake news, no one bothers tuning algos for this site, so it was moot to post this story to begin with.
Either that, or BeauHD is a naive 19-year-old ladyboy.
YOU DECIDE!
Wow...so you made a fake BeuHD account to write two message to discredit BeauHD?
Did he insulted your mother or you have *that* much spare time in your hands?
Let's see.../. have always be the nest of Programmers, Engineers and scientists and Elon Musk portfolio kinda fall in all three categories. And in case you didn't noticed, he make an "American Space" company that make an rocket that land on the very own launch pad, a new "American Car" company that created the very first successful electric car, an Online Bank to pay for your stuff and a few others.
So, yeah, it really doesn't make any sense that folks here like the guys and his companies.
especially one that makes toys for the 1%
I see you failed to recognize the pattern. Let me draw this for you :
2008 : Roadster were released. Now ~2,500 Roadsters at ~100,000$ 2012 : Model S were released. Now ~200,000 Model at an ~90,000$ average 2018 : ~60,000 Model 3 made already at a ~50,000$. And I've read that there's about 500,000 reservation.
Now come on. You can do it. Read the number.
If they were concerned about the environment they wouldn't be "investing" in a company that makes $60,000 cars!
Rei has more knowledge on the subject than you'll ever have
But of course! That's precisely what I'm saying, on the subject of Tesla talking point memos, "Rei" will always have"more knowledge" than me, because they are being paid to distribute it. Day and night, 24x7, year after year, on several sites.
It isn't even one troll, it is a whole Russian bot factory.
Said the AC.
Complain as much as you want, I've always found that/. was the nest of three flocks. Programmer, Engineer and scientist. Elon Musk have every reason to be a center of interest of the whole lot.
but as an engineer and a (pretty) old 6 digits (5 digits if I weren't lazy), after years of member arguing about Who Killed the Electric Car this is a breath of fresh air.
You think Rei is "paid" to "share the good news"? You have a very high respect of slashdot influence to think someone will be paid full time to write a few comment here.
This is accurate. There are way too many five star reviews. If you want to look at real reviews, look at the 3 star ones that have comments. They are usually balanced reviews. No product is five star perfect. Even a 4 star review is suspect. What amazon should have is a scale from 1 to 10. The spammers will always choose 9 or 10.
The thing is, even 3 star aren't secure.
I remember one time where I've read a very popular 3 star review where all the complains were about very specific and uncommon needs. I think it was about a baby rocker where prerecorded music player didn't help the baby fall asleep so they used their cellphone with youtube instead. Well duh! It was a "nice to have" bonus that no other rocker of that range of price had!
Furthermore, if it become common knowledge that people look at 3 star, 'professional' reviewer will use 3 star. If you think you found a hole in the marketing process, don't worry they found it a long time ago.
I found that funny that vegetarians (and vegans) said that they want to help animal with one hand and found initiative like Impossible Foods with the other.
"Wait, those two things both help animal" you might say.
Well, let's take the hypothesis that in 200 years this succeed and eventually all meat are replace with "laboratory" meat. That would be wonderful for the ~ 800 million pigs and the ~ 1000 cattle, right?
Oh wait, they don't exist anymore, except in zoo. After all, extinction sound a lot better than husbandry don't you think?
Good catch, though the source I found said their milk was "only" 22% fat. It's still a lot higher even than water buffalo.
22% fat in Reindeer milk?
Pfft, amateur! Hooded Seal got over 60% fat in their milk so their pup can gain a whooping 7 kg a DAY. It allow the parents to kick their kid out of the house after only 4 days (shortest lactation period of any mammal).
It was similar to one of the question sent to XKCD : "What would happen if everyone on earth stood as close to each other as they could and jumped, everyone landing on the ground at the same instant?"
While I'm at it, if anyone have some love for Mario Franchise, you have to check this interview with Charles Martinet, the voice of Mario : https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Waluigi was a dump and uninspiring attempt to give Wario a partner for team game like Tennis. But, honestly, what a bad attempt that is.
While Wario did (surprisingly) manage to get some personality and some fanbase, Waluigi was anything except that.
Like his name, pretty much everything about the character lack imagination and there's no surprise that Nintendo didn't bring him in the latest Smash Bro game. Credit to Charles Martinet though, at least the voice is funny. Still, to this day, Waluigi remain to my eye the most unimportant character of the franchise. In fact, the only thing more unimportant than him is maybe this news.
You apparently didn't follow the instructions I gave. When you do so, recalls are broken down by model.

Hi Rei,
Interesting, but it's a little meaningless point as it is don't you think?
First, unless I'm wrong, the NHTSA only cover North America. Your exercise tell us that 13 Tesla 2017 were recalled compared to 64 Mercedes 2017 in the USA.
But we lack the total number of car sold in the USA by both companies. For instance, if Tesla sold 130 cars in 2017 compared to 6400 by Mercedes, then even if Tesla made 5 time less recall, the recall rate would still be 10 time higher than Mercedes.
Also, given your partisanism with Tesla (sorry Rei but you have to agree on that one), what tell us that you didn't chose Mercedes because it was the only luxury car brand with an higher recall rate than Tesla? Personally, I believe in you objectivity, but you have to give us more than that.
But SeaFox had a point, higher recall rate doesn't mean higher failure rate. My neighbor, who had a Model S 75D, just send back the the car to Tesla free of charge (not sure if it count for a recall or not) because the windshield jet didn't send the fluid equally on the passenger side. They even got a Model X for free to try during the repair (amazing windshield on that one).
