Training != Copying. But I repeat myself.

It wasn't maintenance it was repair. Repairing Teslas is really expensive due to lack of parts availability and some of the repairs needing to be done in-house by tesla mechanics, etc. https://www.motortrend.com/new... If the vehicles were built by a normal manufacturer those would not be real issues. The issues with semis right now is all the new fancy electronics and systems used to make them cleaner keep breaking which means they sit at dealers forever. An EV Semi would not have any of those problems - although they might present new problems.

They had a rollout schedule but it was way too aggressive compared to where the technology is right now. The number of electric semis on US roads right now is in the low 100s and the growth of that number is very slow. Not because of lack of interest but lack of availability. The current version of Telsa semi might be able to directly replace 10% of trucks right now without a loss of efficiency. That's a lot of Trucks but still a small portion of the capabilities ultimately needed. Right now range is a problem, charge time is a problem, weight is a problem (if your truck is heavier you haul less weight in the trailer - assuming your hauling something heavy and not amazon boxes), etc. These will hopefully all be solved overtime but not on the timeline CA had.

I am more interested in how the shop worker got access to checked bags at an airport. And knew exactly which one had electronics in it. If the owner gate checked the bag, there would be no record of it going through a scanner at the departure airport. Luggage coming off the plane and going to The luggage carousel presumably is not x-rayed unless it's an international flight. How did she know that that bag had electronics in it, and who gave her access to get the bag?

Yup. They proved that fingerprints from different fingers from the same person are highly similar. And with some accuracy, an AI model can determine if two fingerprints came from the same person but different fingers. There is nothing in the study about the absolute uniqueness of an individual fingers fingerprint.

As Chris Rock said: Tax bullets. Make them prohibitively expensive for anyone to buy lots of them but law enforcement.

How do you prevent scammers from saying they are a victim of DV and want this phone number given to them. They already try to swap the phone line to a new sim by calling the phone companies and making up stuff. It would seem that this process would be easier now. I am all for making this easier for the victims but I don't want to make new identity theft easier either.

Can the FTC fix gym membership cancellation too? Last time I had to physically send a letter to get my membership cancelled. Couldn't do it at the gym or online or by phone.

Telsa beta has brought them up to where Waymo was around 2016. Waymo has just recently started trips with no safety drivers in a very small area. I dont foresee Tesla leapfrogging 4 years of Waymo development in the next 12 months. If you watch videos of Teslas beta you will see some very scary driving. Even Waymo still has issues in their small heavily mapped area in phoenix. We are years away from the true summon a car from somewhere miles away without heavy limitations on the starting/ending point.

Yeah i dont call this a successful landing then. The rocket isn't reusable. Its the equivalent of the falcon 9 hitting the drone ship, falling over and exploding. Both rockets are equally reusable at that point. But I wish them well. Making space cheaper is going to be a good thing. Took space-x a lot of trys to perfect the landing.

Exactly. I run Ublock but then the page doesnt work at all. So then I have to customize ublock for this specific webpage to get it to work right. Which would be ok if I went to the same sites every day except I am usually reading stories from google news which links to some random news website. A simple make whatever has been rendered static now button would be a wonderful thing.

Can I get this but just for a single webpage? After the page quickly loads the text I want to read I would love to just stop loading the videos, ads, etc that keep screwing up my browsing experience while I attempt to read the words on the page. That kind of pause button would actually make me consider switching to a new browser.

Uber does not lose money on every ride. Uber pays the drivers less than the amount the customer pays. Ignoring promotional/discounted rides etc. they make money on every trip. However, Uber spends a boat load of money on marketing and R&D (specifically Self Driving Cars). If Uber would layoff the R&D teams and cut back on the marketing they would have a nice profitable business. But currently there is no incentive for them to do this. Earning a steady profit is no where near as exciting to investors as the potential to takeover the transportation space with self driving cars. So Uber continues to spend money like crazy because that is what the market wants.

On a long enough timeline (assuming humans still exist) the technology to 3d print at or near the atomic level will highly likely exist. In such a scenario we can 3d print exact copies of the 3d printer which should make them somewhat affordable. At that point you can print whatever you can design and have the raw materials for - potentially including living being if you can print fast enough. However the "We" in this case is humans far in the future. No chance anyone alive today will see it unless science solves the aging/dying issue.
