What are you talking about? The "Fleet of the Future" (or Deloreans, as I call them) now comprises a third of the cars in operation. The older cars (space shuttles) are being phased out.

Bookmark syncing has been around for at least a decade. I haven’t worried about syncing bookmarks in Chrome since then.

How exactly is OAuth a solution to MFA? You want everyone to run their own OAuth provider? Will the OAuth provider support MFA?

I would not think that because cloud hosting and email delivery are very different problems to solve.

The sticker doesn’t matter. The phone maintains an open “transaction until you swipe it at your destination. It’s not clear what happens if you leave the the station without swiping, and return a few hours/days later. I suspect they st

I don’t know if this issue has been resolved, but as late as four years ago, GitLab didn’t have a notion of a service user. If you wanted a server to authenticate and pull from a private repo, you had to use a licensed account to do so. Thi

I like Autopilot, but FSD is too error-prone, so I don't use it. I will gladly accept a refund of the $7K (plus tax) I spent. At a minimum, Tesla should treat FSD as a license that can be transferred to other cars so folks aren't

It took me a minute to recall what Amazon Drive is/was. It debuted well after I was using Dropbox, Google Drive, and (to some extent) iCloud file storage. I didn’t have a need for Amazon Drive. Amazon Photos, however, with unlimited st

I graduated a semester late…from MIT. Had I stayed on the planned trajectory I would have graduated on time and worked in a relatively boring job at either Booz, Hewlett-Packard, or Texas Instruments making a pittance. Instead, I came acros

True. Tesla is double-dipping here. They also tend to enable FSD for many of their used models, which is frustrating because I don't think FDS is worth the $7K I spent, and definitely not the current $12K.

"M" is the highest trim level for BMW. 218i would be the lowest trim for the BMW 2 series. The owner is passing an M2 as a 218i.

All upgrades (e.g., FSD, acceleration boost) stay with the car. This is huge source of frustration for those of us who purchased FSD, but want to move to another car while retaining FSD.

I don’t know of any merchants that charge extra for check processing. Depending on the volume and average value of the checks, processing fees may be cheaper than credit card interchange. Check processing typically has a fixed cost per chec

The check cashing is outsourced. I’ve toured the facility where it happens.

You can have this, if you practice waterfall. Just wait a few months for a product manager and designer to determine every last detail. I've experienced this, and it's not my ideal working condition.

That’s just wrong. My favorite park in Sacramento, McKinley Park [0], has a merry-go-round with spinning cages, swings, and multiple places to climb. Jean Sweeney [1], in Alameda, has one of the coolest slides, and a zip line! Emeryville [2

I doubt they are avoiding success, but they aren’t doing anything to attract gamers. When I think of gamers, I think of fully-customized machines modded to the owners’ desires. My maxed out MBP looks like every other one, and it’s pretty mu

I’m not sure about the redesign, but Tropicana (and others) have used color to denote this trait. Blue, instead of orange, is low pulp+calcium.

It's definitely over-engineered, which is the point. The plane needs to be ready for multiple situations.

I like the concept. IntelliJ IDEs (which I primarily use) recognize both TODO and FIXME by default, and can be configured to recognize other values. Admittedly, I probably won’t adopt these new values since I tend to attach a Jira ticket an
