Must say I don't understand the nature of problems discussed. Of course palm trees, coconuts, pineapples became symbols of vacation in warm, relaxing tropical paradise, no matter if such place exists at all or if flamingos live there. Ideas are disconnected from facts, as the latter are too complicated
Maybe it's not entirely bad that employees are subjected to effects of their products this way. Police officers should also be tased as a part of weapon training, just to understand how the device works
Musk aside, there's a strong incentive to withhold information that would be self-incriminating for Tesla (or any other company in such situation). Similar situation with accidents - wouldn't the information mysteriously disappear if it suggested car manufacturers fault? Easy to claim that data was unrecoverable in such case, or that some parts are missing..
NHTS is asking Tesla to dutifully report all cases when illegal function was enabled, or FSD failed, or if car systems misbehaving could contribute to a crash. But can they trust Tesla to provide accurate data? Same with accident investigation - Tesla likely has much more data about events leading to an accident than investigators, bit would they provide all that data if it would suggest Tesla's responsibility for the accident? Looks like we have no choice but to trust Tesla, but should they be trusted in such matters?
Electricity meters have been known for decades, even with payment terminals.after all, they were invented to bill customers for electricity used.
And I can see authors point - if you look at Tesla chargers, it's not only the stalls but whole underground infrastructure with cooling, air conditioners and who knows what else. If cars were designed to use AC instead it would be enough to have an AC outlet (3 phase probably) and a meter, and whole charging station could be built by an electrician, with standard components. Yep you won't get a megawatt power this way, but 30-50kW is realistic
I don't mind paying for tools I'm using to get the job done. But ignorant remarks in the tone of 'drop the crap you're using, no matter what it is, and install Linux' were maybe good 30 years ago, now it's just kinda disrespectful. People have various reasons to use their tools and it's not because they don't know Linux exists.
But what to do if you really love what you do and can achieve really good results in your work, better than anyone else? It's a source of pride and recognition, no wonder it becomes part of your identity. Now imagine working out instead -everyone can do that, you won't achieve anything interesting this way. Same with bike riding or hobby woodworking - want some results you have to work long hours for that. No point in feeling guilty because you love your job, just don't neglect other responsibilities in life.
Beware, the rustification has broken thru .net defenses :)
Not sure if I ever find use for Rust in .net runtime (C# has more or less same capabilities), but congrats anyway. However I'd gladly welcome some lightweight compiled language with easy and powerful meta-programming and AST transformation capabilities.
It's bad news that there are no tools to detect cheating, such situation can encourage dishonest players to cheat and nobody will take seriously accusations about cheating from other players.
I've been using Dell laptops exclusively for many years, but the last purchase was Lenovo Thinkbook 16inch with decent Ryzen. I just liked the specs. The machine works pretty well (Windows) but has some issues I never had with Dell, for example suspend/resume doesn't work reliably, laptop is often unresponsive for some time after wake up, sometimes it doesn't detect a second monitor and I need to unplug it and connect again. And maybe one or two more quirks. So Im not sure what to choose for next laptop. Would be great if Dell offered professional line of laptops with recent AMD processors, but for some reason they don't
