That was a comment on the uselessness of Siri, except for voice recognition of a web search query I guess.

I would think Arizona is safer than Florida. A lot of DR datacenters in Phoenix.

GM bondholders, many of them retirees, were also screwed. The govt overrode traditional bondholder priority in restructuring, in favor of the union. This was wrong.

WebOS. That was a good one. Came out of Palm if memory serves? I think LG TVs might still use what's left of this?

Microsoft could have bought Android before Google though. But I guess that's part of the point. Microsoft of that era was too arrogant and Windows focused to consider such a thing.

I've always been more curious about this stat when: -President and Congress majority are same party (and by party) -President and Congress majority are different party. I suspect different parties are better, to reign in the excesses o

It was Tesla's choice not to use a dealer network. That smooths out production, inventory, and supply chain. It makes service more locally incentivized, too. I think this was a big mistake by Tesla. I don't expect Rivian to repeat

Just like there is a warning on cigarettes, yet we have stopped allowing smoking in enclosed public places. Kind of like driving on a freeway...

It's a good thing I did not propose that I become Supreme Dictator Strawman.

I know the argument is always that autopilot is not intended by Tesla to be abused (never mind the CEO on national television abusing it). However, there's what you tell humans, and then there's pragmatism regarding human nature.

This is exactly why Waymo and Cruise and such believe autonomy Level 3 or so is utterly dangerous and have intentionally skipped it entirely.

The docs say to keep your hands on the wheel and stay alert at all times. Never mind Tesla CEO on national television taking hands off the wheel and not watching the road.

I am curious to see how it does at a 4-way left turn with a light. I don't think that was in the video route.

I agree it's great hardware. Do you run Linux? Because my problem with Lenovo is Windows. It's hot garbage despite the perception that Windows is decent again. But what's not great hardware is the touchpad. I always miss the

Ehh, Yahoo had to gamble big on Marissa. They lost I guess, but it was the correct decision at the time. I think people are forgetting the terrible CEOs prior to that, and the horrible decision not to sell to Microsoft. Remember the Obama s

And if your trip on autopilot is 99.9% reliable, how would you feel about that stat? Do you find yourself paying attention to the road context the entire time? I'm curious if your mental acuity has dropped over time as the car has driv

I agree. I think they need the cash from orders now, and to show it in their q1 financials.

And the states without income tax usually make it up somewhere. I believe with Texas it means higher property taxes (California's are quite strictly limited thanks to the notorious Prop 13).

Since I read that Popular Mechanics article, I think the exact same thing every time I board an Airbus plane.

No agency needed. Companies do this internally already... right?

Gift wrap is something I've learned over time not to cheap out on. Wrapping a present with cheap paper is frustrating. It rips far too easily. The task with quality paper is night and day. Worth a few more bucks per roll if you ask me.

Parts supply logistics and repair times wouldn't improve with dealers?

Tesla also struggles with this, and I think it's because of their direct model. If Rivian uses dealers they should have an easier time in theory. It strikes me that Rivian is combining the advantages of electric vehicles with the advan
