Indeed. But it's also true that change per se puts more stress on less innovative or agile companies, especially companies that have massive investments sunk into older technologies. No matter what rules you set it'll benefit some companies over others; rules that are very favorable to GMC would be unfavorable to Tesla and vice versa. They'll both argue that rules that benefit them the most are best for the country.

I'll say this for Tesla's position, though: the notion that it's physically impossible to build fuel efficient cars that people will want to buy is balderdash.

Did you see the swap occur, or was it all smoke and blue curtains?

The current Corvette is broadly considered to be the best deal in high performance... in the world. The new Cadillacs are awe-inspiring and built like they mean it. Even Ford has apparently discovered reliability. You're talking bollocks.

I'll grant you a lot of garbage is still coming from the big three, but look around the world. Everyone makes shit cars.

Most submissions I know anything about, which is to say both mine and those which submitters have commented on, have been edited.

Wow... that's something that every other operating system's service manager can handle.

OK, so exec the daemon from your script, whatever. It's not a problem for me. However, not doing this gives you a chance to do more stuff when the daemon dies...

It's a fact that systemd proponents abuse moderation to support systemd. It is my assumption that they do this because they know systemd is shit, and that they are shit, and they can't handle the scrutiny.

I've been there, and what I saw was a bunch of people who don't own Teslas slapping each other on the back while looking at photos which don't provide any proof that swaps are occurring.

Sure, I agree. But credit systems are bullshit, too, and Tesla is gaming the credit system on top of that.

If by 'cure' you mean 'desensitize to the point that eating one or two peanuts won't kill you' then yes

Wake me up when they prove that they're actually performing battery swaps, which is required at this phase to get all the credits they're getting. There's no evidence that they can do it, let alone that they are doing it. (If anyone feels differently, let's see some photographic evidence of a swap actually taking place; I am not interested in seeing the pictures of the car sitting in the swap station with nothing happening.)

Really? Because I did say I thought it was a douchey thing to do. If all Americans thought that way, it wouldn't have been damaged. QED, you didn't actually read and/or understand my comment before talking about it...

The BDSM convention will have a higher percentage of protected sex, and nearly everyone getting screwed will be doing so consensually. Most of them will have a good sense of humor about what they are doing, heavy D/S tops aside.

I think that's a great idea, but how many people do you think they're going to invite to speak who hail from the other camp? The "What the fuck are you doing to everything we love" camp? I'm betting it's going to be a big, fat goose egg. And even if not, we've seen how Lennart responds to critics, it's a big part of why so many of us dislike him so.

Even CNN knows, google could have told you, WTF is wrong with you?

You are delusional if you think I said or implied that.

No, I'm saying and I have said before and I will say again that cgroups are simple, did not require a new init system, and can be manipulated from shell scripts.

That's a problem, but not an insurmountable one, and again, one which could have been solved with a unit script processor (which itself could be a shell script) rather than a whole new init system — I've pointed that out repeatedly, as well.
