I'm pretty sure the lack of Android Auto and Apple Carplay is going to kill them.

If I have one car I can plug into and have all of my settings without any setup or login (my non tech savvy mom accidentally discovered it even, just trying to charge through the USB and had a map) and already is personalized for each driver (even if I just lend it to someone for a day). Additionally I can be pretty confident it'll stay updated since Apple and Google are just communicating graphics and touches, I imagine it'll still work in a decade.

And the other car needs to be specifically setup. I'll likely be setting up and account, using some type of QR code scan to sync to the car from said account. And need to do so for every driver of it (it'll probably require me to manage the other drivers even). Also, I am relying on the manufacturer to keep it compatible with newer OS's. I know which one I'm buying.

I imagine they'll have enough walk outs on test drives that they'll reverse the decision soon (not a ton, but enough that corporates notices), then they'll cancel the software and won't maintain it. By 100k miles it won't even work.

Carplay and android auto are common and universal enough I suspect customers will ask and reject it.

I wouldn't, but I can imagine people willingly pay for OnStar.

It doesn't feel as dirty since it isn't just all sitting there. It reaches out to the cellular network. I can imagine people getting decent value for remote start that works in parking garages, and the accident help (people worry).

It doesn't feel like a subscription for a seat heater or super cruise which are both already there.

I'm not sure why lane keeping requires and automatic, it seems to me turning the wheel would be fine.

My manual does fine for emergency braking (though it's a little touchy when someone in front of me is turning or if I'm accelerating to speeding under 20mph). I feel like if the emergency brake slows me down so much I need to shift the problem is me, not the manual (it hasn't over the last 10k miles I've had the car).

It'll certainly never self drive, and is useless for stop and go traffic cruise control (20-60mph heavy traffic is fine).

The higher end performance is shifting towards dual clutch since it's objectively better for performance.

The economy cars are getting automatics to simplify production lines now that automatics are basically the same cost to make and essentially as efficient as manuals.

So the only manuals getting made are in the budget low tech sportscar market where people aren't going for performance, but fun on a budget.

What does Afghanistan have to do with any of the "Gulf War"s?

The first two were Iraq, the third is Iran.

I may want to use the code modified and not share my modifications. The GPL prevents this.

Aside from the corner case of libraries incrementing proposed standards I think this is a plus, but it certainly is a restriction that a copy left license has and a BSD/MIT one doesn't.

You're right. It's the BSD part of the name that is the clue, not the Free part.

At least in the past "Free" was the copy lefted part of OSS software, with many OSS puriwta believing a BSD type licence was more Free as others thought it was less so.

Wasn't the advertising clause determined to be non free and long since removed?

I read it more as "we're already in compliance, no changes"

And now we'll have another long lawsuit about whether or not they're in compliance. They'll need to make changes in 9 years when that suit plays out and a year later it's irrelevant.

You default to a windows user agent as of earlier this year?

I've had to tweak it on a rare occasion, bit I haven't left the default as lie and be windows for a long long long time.

I imagine the stats website is more likely to capture my default than the random site I've tweaked.

Does AI still use Em dashes?

Everyone asks it not to. And the models probably adjusted due to feedback.

It'd be like looking for lead in the air to detect a car that drove by. The time where that detection work has passed.

The first like shows a 10% drop over a few years then flat (long range).

Basically flat (mid range)

And 15% drop then flat (standard plus)

Not linear at all.

Lead used bad chemistry and no/poor cooling.

The first gen i3 used crumnny tech too.

I can't speak to the early GM products.

But for the most part effort was put into good temperature management (Tesla) and more robust battery chemistry (pretty much anything in the last 10ish years).

The Leaf was made super budget and it killed the batteries.

Pretty sure this was hand crafted algorithm if it happened in 2011.

It's more of a lesson in the difficulty of communicating business logic when creating a project (which will obviously impact AI, but can cause problems for people too).

Generally laid off high end talent gets 3x hourly on rehire (based on my friend's parents).
