Well I kind of came to hope that Tesla PR was less BS than other PR companies. But that memo basically shows they're no different from all other PR, just twisting the truth to avoid negative stories until the fuss dies down.

Fair enough on the DOM rendering, you're quite right. Instead of "React still just outputs HTML" in my original reply I should have said "React still just renders to the DOM". > these were simple examples to illu

Sure CSS in JS if you want. But scrapping CSS for style tags is a bad idea. React renders to the DOM which outputs HTML. It's still HTML that can be styled with CSS independently of React.

That doesn't make much sense to me. React still just outputs HTML so there's no difference in terms of styling. You're the first person I've heard wanting to scrap CSS and go back to style tags. Sure people prefer LESS&#

Memoization is a good thing, but not many people understand compliers. So we should celebrate that React is helping to push it into the consciousness of front end developers. React isn't really inventing anything fundamentally new in t

The article is about a woman literally parking on the freeway and trying to ferry ducks off the road. There is a significant difference between that and braking sharply.

Yeah - that's the best you can hope for. So regular drivers will be much worse.

They still got all their initial scale from PHP until they were so big that it was worth writing their own PHP engine. They would have had the same problem with Python or JavaScript.

Precisely why we want collision-detection to be able to spot the animal and brake earlier than the human could. I agree swerving is a problem, but I see no problem with braking. If you brake and the car behind you crashes into you that is t

Those systems are the great ones at the moment. But almost all modern cars have those. They're brilliant because they augment humans by leaving humans to do all the driving and staying focused on that but then taking over when the driv

I think as long as you make it clear that there is a 10-minute questionnaire and 20-minute brain-teaser at the start of the application people probably won't mind. Plus you might want to change your claim from 'minutes' to &#

If Tesla were to respond in a similar vein - that is turn off auto-pilot each time there was a fatal crash until the cause was fully investigated and fixed then I'd feel a lot more comfortable. From the videos in the article it's

At the moment Tesla haven't shown that auto-pilot does lower the death rate. They've only released statistics about auto-pilot enabled cars rather than statistics for when auto-pilot was in control. Any statistics released by Te

It's 28% in 2016 according to NHTSA [0], 10,497 deaths. Certainly auto-pilot is worth it if the driver is drunk. I wish that all cars were fitted with alcohol measuring devices so that the cars won't start if you're over the

The problem is that it's not just the drivers who are the volunteers getting killed. When you kill pedestrians as Uber did, they did not volunteer to be killed to test your software. Yes automation is good, but Tesla is being needlessl

Airline pilot training is designed to handle this, as well as they have a co-pilot who prevents them from being distracted and is able to take over if they are distracted. Tesla is just handing it out to anyone who can afford to buy a Model

As far as I can tell there is no way to resolve this that will be effective. Google spoke about this problem publicly and why they directly targeted level 4. Train drivers are the closest thing and they have a lot of equipment that forces t
