Makes me think of that 80's movie Gung Ho where they rushed production to keep from being closed and cars were rolling off the line missing tires...

Plus with Tesla's penchant to make production changes on the fly, and the questionable build quality of the Model 3's they've already produced.. yeah, pass.

Thanks for this! I've been trying to remember the name of that movie for years! I tried googling what I could remember about the movie but could never find it.

If you watch the video it shows the worker alongside the robot arm putting cheese on the patties... the robot arm is not in the way.

users in that thread are reporting that even with the new version the issue persists... "I do have 1.0.42 installed. Still writing stupid data. "

Unless they haven't updated the Android app, it's still showing this as a premium feature. I've installed it and it says "Your LastPass Premium trial will expire in 60 days". I would think if it was truly free now then I wouldn't be seeing this message.

Majority voting with three systems has turned out to be dangerous .

Well obviously 3 parallel systems won't work. We need to use a tried and true system... like superdelegates!

I doubt if this will get discontinued soon. It's one of their more popular features.

The browser in question from TFA is Opera 12.17 which was released in April of this year (http://www.opera.com/docs/changelogs/windows/1217/). I'd hardly call that an old browser.
