The attempt at shooting into your team's basket is amazing. Both teams should have played the game as usual, but trying to score in their own basket and the other team trying to stop them. The "winner" has the easier first round in the tournament! Kinda like that riddle with the two brothers racing across the desert.

I don't do #7... purely because I think it looks stupid.

I highly, highly doubt you would off-load driving decisions to a remote datacenter. I'm sure they'd still need massive datacenters for monitoring performance, support, firmware and software updates and a million other things I know nothing about, but definitely not for actual driving.

Pfft, I am many other things in addition to a trolling idiot.

I feel like it's insensitive for you to speak so derogatively of the lower classes given the article's subject matter.

then why did you?

Not at all. I just don't see any value or pertinence in your remark that "we're [specifically] a terrible society..." when this is clearly a global problem. America the terrible is such a trope, that I'll have to use another one, then you can get the hell out!

They're not necessarily indicative of different ideologies. I think that specific example is just a case of, I could work my entire life dedicated to helping the homeless, and then maybe a few less will be in front of my building in 30 years, or I could put in spikes and they'll be gone tomorrow.

this comment, on an article about how many English people are designing features specifically to ward off the homeless.

#6, yes! red indicators can be hard to see, even for the conscientious driver.

I'm not too worried about charge time. As range becomes greater, it will matter less. As Musk says, (this is with a bit of spin, he's exaggerating a bit) the amount of time a supercharge takes and the range you get correspond to how long of a break you should be taking during a roadtrip anyways. And that's with…

Hmm, that's a good point. I wonder if we can borrow a few for the next month!

I'm from this town. My sister's 3 mile commute took 55 minutes yesterday. (My 13 mile one to the same destination somehow took only 40 minutes.)

It's all about how the residual (which is agreed to when the lease is signed) compares to the actual value of the car. You could actually come out "ahead" as opposed to if you had just borrowed, but most likely you'll be worse off as the dealer will often over-state residuals.

It's your money... but that strikes me as foolish! I default to 20%, and even if the server is just okay, I'll tip that, but when someone is genuinely bad you betcha I'm not tipping a full 20%.

Fair enough! This is the sort of nuance that is probably the source of many internet debates! Good day, sir.

Even if I made $30k a year I would still think a $500 suit is cheap. It would just mean that I can only/can't even afford a cheap suit. I don't mean that in a derogatory way, I own suits that cost less than that, but they're indeed a cheap suit. In the same sense, $15,000 is a lot of money, but no matter how much you…

I guess you don't know what normal means? It's perfectly reasonable to use normal to describe one's income level, and then talk about what they would typically deem expensive.

You could recreate feel by using a feedback motor in the steering wheel. Then you could variably eliminate, or even amplify feel. Also, you could change the steering ratio, for example under 5 mph you could jack it up to make parking "easier."

why not just take control of our ICBM's and nuke humanity into oblivion?
