Experimental digital archeologist at that.
Musk likes to claim he did everything on his own, that he had no help.

If he's so hepped up on the government not providing subsidies, why is he whining he's not getting the $866 million subsidy?
That is not the contradiction you seem to think. You may be in favor in changing the rules and simultaneously not disadvantaging yourself under existing rules with respect to your competitors which are bound by the same rules.
I started hosting my own website with Southwestern Bell DSL way back in the day.
I later did it on my TimeWarner cable.
I've done it a couple of times since then, but every modern ISP blocks outbound web ports in the bridge device or elsewhere and makes full use of your IP address difficult at best.
I don't have a website anymore because I got tired of the work-arounds. I'm considering using IPNS with DNS. Yeah, it's a work around and it's old-fashioned static HTML, but at least I can put SOMETHING up there.
I know exactly what signs they're talking about.
I fix them.
Well, that works for me.
Stop taking that money from us and not giving it back. Two can play that game.
This sounds like a 9th / 10th violation.
No reason for them to micromanage on the state level for things like this.
My favorite ability is asking definitions.
My eight year old is always asking what something means, I just hit the button on my steering wheel (if I'm driving) or say "hey Google" if I'm home and let that answer.
I also have a big thick old Webster's Dictionary at home and I've taught him how to use it.
Yeah, most systems I know of (including my own) won't even display the text of the message, it will only read it.
One of my coworkers sent a copy-paste of a log-dump to my phone while I was driving the other day, my stereo sounded like it had an aneurysm and my eight year old laughed every time it said "carrot" a dozen times or so in a row....
I have a bit of a southern twang, but not a thick one, and I can consciously make it go away. In the late 90's when we were playing with the speech to text pagers at one of my old companies I was consistently the most accurate source speaker. - reference - when I moved to Arizona the locals thought I was a local - I now live in Houston and blend in. I'm a bit of an accent chameleon, I do tend to adopt the local accent, and I do have the Houston area one now, but Houston really isn't thick and I make an effort to pronounce the h's and what have you the locals leave off.
That never worked right to begin with.
I successfully used my speaker to start an app on my Nvidia Shield this morning - the first time I had the phrasing figured out. I was so happy it worked, but I still had to pick up the remote to select what I wanted it to do after it launched it, but hey, the TV was on and the Shield was booted before I got to the remote.
I don't want to talk about how bad speech to text is. I had my kids verify they understood my words quite plainly in the car when I tried to reply to a text with with "Driver" and it kept putting in "DR".
I'm of the suspicion a lot of the Google stuff that's frustrating is broken on purpose so we don't suspect how good the A.I. really is.
Most of my music has been ripped for a long time and the format works on everything I want it to work on. I have one program that wanted to encode in some other ogg format I can't recall. It was great on a few things, tighter encoding, but not everything can play it so I stick with Vorbis.
Until compatibility improves on random devices I see no reason to change.
I'm hoping a better standardized 3D TV comes out with backwards comparability. There were some 3DS no glasses required TVs in development if I recall when the whole thing got abandoned. I figure it's just a matter of time before it comes back around.
This is why I consider it moot.
