I've got to respond to this. No, it is not ready. Every fucking day it stops in the middle of the goddamned road because the same car is parked completely off the road on a curve - on a divided 4 lane road. My Model 3 completely stops and sounds an alarm. To this day it is unable to tell a line in the pavement from a shadow and will attempt to correct my driving. I still experience every so often a complete stop in heavy traffic - all wheels locked and skidding but I was going slow anyway - like the car just stops. Fuck no it's not ready for unsupervised driving.

Same here ~ it's a challenge to go to parties or just go out to dinner because I literally can't hear the other person speaking. It's like an overloaded radio receiver frontend that can't hear the station right next to it because it's drowned out by the stronger signals around it. Hearing aids helped the tinnitus some and the reduced hearing more but nothing to be done for helping distinguish who is talking. My hearing aids have the ability to change the "focus" but it doesn't work very well.

Power budget is all that really matters on the watch as everything is translated into that. You are allocated x amount of power swappable in a certain way and thatâ(TM)s it. Battery life is everything so anything that improves it or allows algorithms to run more often (the optical hardware consumes a fair amount) is a good thing

Walks out to shed and grabs Roundup Brush Killer concentrate purchased at Lowe's last week... looks like the label claims active ingredients of triclopyr triethylamine salt 2.5%, fluazifop-P-butyl 2.0%, diquat dibromide 1.5%. That's what I purchased here in the Bay Area; interestingly enough Home Depot doesn't carry the brush killer and claims it is not available in California but I've always been able to purchase it at Lowe's. We have 2 acres of poison oak forest that I've been working to eliminate. Once I've purchased enough Tecnu to counter the effects of the oil we'll go in and clear it out manually. I'd love to use goats but they are really quite expensive.

Not really. Itâ(TM)s because PG&E is anxious to get NG off their liabilities list after blowing peopleâ(TM)s homes in San Bruno and more recently in Hayward. The noxious gas thing is a red herring they use as leverage to force you to pay the highest electricity rates in the nation. We are remodeling our kitchen and we are not replacing our gas cooktop with induction. PG&E doubles our electric rate in the evenings as well just when weâ(TM)d want to cook dinner so fuck them. I know the right thing to do is to get rid of gas but there are really good economic reasons to not do it. Until that changes we will continue to cook with gas.

This baby boomer will be more than happy to kick your ass into oblivion should we ever meet IRL because one thing I can't stand is people who have no concept of complexity and nuance and then cry in their milk when life gets hard. Fucking wanker. I sure as hope you don't call yourself an engineer with godawful mindset - how do you get out of the way of your own hubris?

Where I live pedestrians have the right of way so when they step into the street you must stop for them whether a crosswalk is painted there or not. Yes I hate the phone zombies as well - I always wonder what they seek as they look so intently into their behavior control erm, I mean, communication devices.
