Sounds like all hype to me.

They mentioned that it's for the entire Model S fleet, most of which does not have dual motors so "torque sleep" may not be the answer. My hope is they eek out an extra 50 miles to a full charge and recommend 100% charging all the time (they currently recommend 90% charge most of the time and only to use 100% for long trips).

Looks like he's pinching a loaf. Xerox that look.

Are autonomous vehicles limited by visual spectrum? I was under the impression they used a combination of visual spectrum, active radar, infrared, sonar, and lasers (amongst other, I would guess).

Hey, maybe it means that when a band creates a new sound, they can license it out....

I threw up a little saying that.

I did see a Windows Phone at work a couple weeks ago. The poor owner was made fun of mercilessly. Especially since she said she just bought it and had gotten rid of her Blackberry.

That's like kicking your tobacco habit by switching to crack cocaine.

So, how long did it take you to write those Xinerama compatibility functions for Enlightenment?

Was the "memory" implant the image of an electric sheep? We can remember it for you, wholesale.

You're all talking about C++ and not LINUS TORVALDS! Have you all LOST your MINDS!? ;-)

Write-only code is easy in ANY syntax.

I can't spend that much, but it goes with my wife's white dress...

Don't worry! There are humans BEGGING for this training!

But certainly reasonable given their track record.

In three years? Possibly.

In five years? Probably.

In ten years? Of course.

The first gen iPhone came out nine years ago and is not compatible with any iPhone apps. About the only thing you can do with it is sync with iTunes (which I do on occasion). Not a big deal, as I use it as a jukebox for my daughter's bedroom.

The first gen iPad came out five years ago and is not compatible with the last few iOS updates or with most apps available in the app store (since they require newer versions of iOS). I use mine as a remote control for my media center and to read some PDFs.

I guess when the Apple Watch is obsolete it will still tell time. Hopefully the battery doesn't degrade much over that time period (or is it replaceable by any watchmaker?).

General Jack D. Ripper :
Mandrake, do you recall what Clemenceau once said about war?

Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake :
No, I don't think I do, sir, no.

General Jack D. Ripper :
He said war was too important to be left to the generals. When he said that, 50 years ago, he might have been right. But today, war is too important to be left to politicians. They have neither the time, the training, nor the inclination for strategic thought. I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

.... so far, I do not recommend it.

"A great introductory language"

There *must* be something I'm missing.

I see her struggling with syntax errors and logical mistakes not picked up in syntax highlighters or bolt-on delinters. The debuggers are a myriad of pages of DOM inspectors, performance tools, js files she's not working with, options for things she doesn't know about and a maze of files, with very little ability to actually step through your running code to see how your "if" statement executes.

The cute little sandbox online simulators take shortcuts.... she spent three hours trying to figure out why she couldn't get a selector hook a click event to a button, running the code in online simulators but not being able to translate it to her code. In the end it was because she forgot to start with a jQuery $(document).ready statement, the simulator couldn't identify that mistake. She couldn't spot it herself because it gave no indication of what might be wrong.

Even turning on strict mode on Firefox doesn't give a single error for a missing $(document).ready, but generates 7 errors for jquery.js.

I used to think Javascript was okay for learning.... but she's programming blind on a lot of stuff. I would love for her to see something like "assigning click event to null object, line 28" or similar, but all I can say is "divide and conquer... test your assumptions at each step, and watch for errors, even if they rarely appear...".. She would have been much better off spending her time working with variables, types and if statements rather than trying to squeeze information out of her programming environment.

Do you feel safe? Are you afraid someone is going to come and threaten your life and liberty? Do you believe that if you were ever threatened, your society is already equipped with stalwart heroes to come and defend you? Do you consider yourself such a stalwart hero?

The core belief here is that only by empowering society to keep guns in the hands of 'the people' can a society truly be free. So the self manufacture of guns is the best way to ensure that freedom. They tend to hold strong beliefs that those in power are only held in check by an armed populous. Otherwise, they claim, what is to stop those in power from taking away the liberty of anyone who displeases them?

For some, the philosophy of freedom is that which you can defend. They tend to view the world in a cold and unforgiving light, and believe that self reliance is the only true chance at prosperity. You likely fall closer to the other end of the spectrum where the strength of society is measured by how well people work together. Civics is a rather broad topic, and we all have our own personal political beliefs. Groups like CATI are just trying to stand up for their own beliefs.
