They are cars not computers. The hardware is significantly more complex and more prone to failure in ways a software patch won't fix.

Tesla produces high end cars but as a brand it isn't and might never be considered elite in the way traditional car companies are. To focus purely on that space seems like an unnecessary risk, if you can expand.

It's addictive to a lot of people, so there is a certain cost to society that comes with gambling that needs to be considered.

Of course I can think of such scenarios, I can't think of any scenario in which this would be a big problem though. A lot of people live with flatmates who they didn't really know before living together. It's unusual not to f

Why would anyone want to? Germany desperately needs immigration to keep up the economy and welfare system and overall immigrants pay more to Germany than they get out of it.

They take up a lot of space on a sidewalk. If all cars were electric, charging them on my street would require putting up a charger roughly every 5m on both sides of the street to charge all cars typically parking here. The same would have

I'm sure that the people behind Chernobyl and Fukushima were no less convinced that the design was safe and operated perfectly fine, than you are convinced that modern reactors are safely designed and operated correctly.

The toll from fossil fuels is however much easier to deal with. The worst case scenario for a nuclear reactor failure in Germany, is that there is no Germany afterwards.

No matter how much money you throw at the problem, you won't be able to solve it entirely in cities. European cities aren't really built with cars in mind and most buildings don't come with garages. So all the cars currently

Not writing in cursive helps but it doesn't solve the fundamental problem that ballpoint pens are significantly worse than fountain pens when you need to write for several hours in an exam for example.

If you die before you grow old, you're probably going to do so as a child. If you survive birth, childhood and are otherwise healthy, you're chances of growing old are pretty good no matter where and how you happen to live. That&#

I think lack of onboarding is probably one of the biggest problems with open source projects as well. You can't expect to get new contributors, if you have no documentation on how to setup a development environment, which tools you use

Gay men are often stereotyped to have a lot of changing sexual partners, which increases the risks for STIs. There are quite a few countries that forbid gay men from donating blood because of this.

I think saving energy might be much bigger motivation. Taking advantage of inertia like humans and animals are doing is probably a far more efficient form of movement.

What's important in particular about having those rights at the "beginning" of the Grundgesetz is that the first 20 articles are immutable and cannot be changed unlike the latter parts of the constitution.

I completely agree. Range has completely mishandled the NSA situation but he isn't stupid. It's obvious that this would get him retired and doing it this way was decent attempt at stopping this whole affair and does his colleagues

Given that Maas apparently intented to kill the Gutachten on Friday, I think it's fair to assume that the investigation is not continuing or even merely paused. It's definitely dead now. The next prosecutor would have to be extrao

Nobody in Germany wants those to be closed. They are often very important to the local economy of the areas in which they are located. It's also convenient way to make sure it's in the interest of the US military to defend Germany
