The car will initially go on sale in the Chinese market as the company works to figure out the leap to Europe and the U.S., with plans for a unique distribution model involving limited car customization

I’d disagree. This is a hell of a lot more interesting than the majority of auto sales, especially at the price point of a sub-Volvo mid-size sedan.

As for the Pixel 3 XL, you would wonder why don’t they make the lower bezel smaller and put all the sensors into an equally small bezel at top (ala Samsung Galaxy S8)? I guess the camera and sensor components that they bought are too large to fit into a small bezel and hence the large notch.

It adds *compromised* real estate. None of it really adds anything other than moving a 40-60 pixel status bar higher up, which is great if you have maybe 1-2 notifications. Splitting that space just makes Android’s much more useful notification center less useful.

Small, out-of-the-way or -sightline dashboards that don’t interfere with your knees or sit so high that you feel like your chair is broken. Seriously, the point where the dash stops coming towards you and then slopes away into the footwell intrudes so far into the cabin these days that it forces the front seats to…

Small (or even medium) sized cars with usable rear seats.

Off topic, but does anyone else’s embedded Twitter posts end up like this? I get no tweet styling, images don’t display, and sometimes stuff gets cut off. Refreshing/restarting the browser doesn’t help.

Counterpoint: Products often have different names or pronunciations in different markets.

Typical American: Says the people who invented the language are wrong.

Especially when it’s spelled “Lieutenant”

Not only that, but someone wrote “inflammable” and no editor said “yeah, it’s probably going to be much more understandable to just say ‘flammable’”

Fish, the homeowner, told a Syracuse.com| The Post-Standard in an interview Thursday that he isn’t a Nazi.

When Ford Credit dug in deeper, the automaker found Reagor-Dykes allegedly “double floored vehicles,” where it submitted information to obtain floor plan financing at one dealership, and then again at a second dealership, “thereby obtaining double financing from Ford Credit.”

OK I’ll bite:
