Saves money on ammo, too.

Oh man, that coworker of yours sounds so perfectly like my dad (with whom I work, daily). His excuse has always been “If I don’t say it, I’ll forget it,” and I’ve never known what to say until know. Thank you.

Yesssss been going here since I was a little kid (thanks dad!), and I cannot express how much I love this track.

you should make that guy who does have that job earn his money

They made a self-removing battery for the Note 7.

Fun story, I do actually work in software design, with an emphasis on usability. That means I make sure that the system works well in real-world use, and I have to think ahead to how people are going to use it when it’s released publicly. Then I design it to make sure users can’t screw up or abuse the system.

1. Right, how many famous NASA scientists do you know by name? Maybe the Apollo ones, maybe those who died in shuttle accidents, but they weren’t in it for the fame.

1. NASA isn’t out there to make a name for themselves. Pretty sure those people don’t do their work for the glory and name recognition it’ll bring them, they do it for the sake of advancing science.

Then it’s a bad joke...

Pretty sure that’s not a trio of Ferraris, it’s one Ferrari and reflective walls.

I believe the Space Shuttle was different - everyone involved knew the risks and accepted them, and NASA is always very careful to make sure that other people are not put at risk. No innocent people without a say in the matter were in harms way.

Is that definitively third-row seating, or just a storage compartment?

So I think Tesla should do what they can to prevent that abuse. Require hands on the wheel much, much more often (no more than five seconds off, perhaps).

But we can make the sensors better. For the same reason we made computers that can do complex calculations in a fraction of a second, we build this technology to do better than humans alone can do things. Tesla shouldn’t be releasing it when it’s not ready.

- Require hands on the wheel more often, or the system will automatically deactivate (and, in a good design, pull to the side of the road).

Instead of just telling people, how about making them do it? The system can tell when the user has their hands on the wheel, so why can’t they require that sort of input far more often?

1. “I don’t care that I offended you.” You must be lovely.

If Tesla is clear that you need to have your hands on the wheel, they need to update the software to require hands on the wheel at all times. As it stands right now, the user is only required to touch the wheel every so often.

Tesla does not make the limitations clear, as evidenced by the accidents that have occurred due to misuse. You can say they make it clear all you want, but the fact that some people still do not understand it means that it is not clear.

1. Calling people “retards” isn’t helpful. It’s offensive, and allows bad design to continue by blaming users for bad user interface design.
