I'm really skeptical of this theory being pushed in the article, without further data to back it up. Maybe the Model S has a higher claim frequency because its owners would be more nitpicky of their $100k+ car, than a $30k Leaf? Should

I don't know for other areas, but here in bay area Tesla only does service, not collision repairs. I took both my Model S, and my wife's Porsche to the same repair facility, and I can tell you that both were eye wateringly expensi

And the Tesla is furthermore an outlier, because for a long time it was the only luxury EV in widespread use. In a couple more years, the data on "luxury electric vehicles" should have a lot more data points.

The movie was made from the book of the same name. I haven't gotten to watching the movie, because of all the bad reviews it got, but I'm part way through the book and it's pretty good.

They did eventually add an option, but it's still very limited (single car seat only, not as many drivers have them, and no newborns).

This is what probably keeps me out of the market for a car rental service too. I realize I'm probably in the minority, but trying to fit three car seats and several adults into an Uber is near impossible. Not to mention of it's a

What about just curved displays? Like in a car, it seems there could be some interesting applications (screen embedded in windshield, or wrapped around the dashboard or center console). Is curved glass tech also a barrier, because I feel I&

Not personally, I just don't think I would login using my real password on any website running from another student's dorm room.

The timing was perplexing, because Facebook's account of events just don't make sense. They were tackling this problem head on themselves, yet waited till just hours before the ICO shows up at CA's offices to "secure the

I'm going to guess that it's because Facebook was the enabler. Without a Facebook, the "Cambridge Analytica's" of the world would not exist, because they wouldn't be able to buy data of this magnitude. You can

That IM exchange was mentioned in a news article (I knew it sounded familiar): http://www.businessinsider.com/well-these-new-zuckerberg-ims... When I signed up for Facebook (back when it was just Harvard-only) I made up a n

Seriously, every CEO is held responsible for the actions of the company he runs. He's just restating the obvious here.

If they knew about CA obtaining this data in 2015 and sat on it then, no telling what information they may be sitting on now. Most companies, when they learn of a data breach, they take measures to notify their affected users (whether conta

I think it's the very fact that they cannot truly verify, which is why Facebook is so willing to go through the motions. In reality, they know many developers will not comply, but they can claim they did everything humanly possible bef

I had a very hard time imagining Zuckerberg actually writing these words, it just felt too carefully crafted and full of standard PR tropes. The CNN interview should be interesting, then we can hear the actual words from his mouth.

Also brings back memories for me. I was never good at managing many cities, focusing on a few megacities instead and opting for large scale nuclear war :) Kinda reminds me of another game I used to play around that time, Global Effect. Civ.

That was part of my point though. Siri should be smart enough to understand my meaning (and Apple heavily marketed that aspect of it). If I put "Ike's Sandwiches" in Google (or even Apple Maps) they both know what I mean. Sir

Right, you caught me :) what I really meant to say is American English speaker with no strong regional markers (i.e. Southern, New York). Maybe slightly Midwest, but I haven't been back in decades so it's pretty weak. More importa

Having two newborns has made me come to appreciate Alexa in a whole new way: my hands are almost always full with one (or both) babies and being able to use my voice to control the lights, play music for them, set reminders or alarms for my

There's actually a way to do this, for a long time. In older versions, you'd see a wavy underline on certain words it was less confident about, letting you choose alternatives. The current version has a "Tap to edit" lin

Yeah, claiming that moving to Mesos was rebuilding Siri is stretching it a bit. The beauty of the Mesos transition was that most services needed only minor modifications to be moved to the new scheduler, and still get the benefits of better

There's an Ike's Sandwiches like literally 30 feet from my office in San Jose, and I always like to ask Siri when it closes. To this day, I've probably tried on a dozen occasions and it has never once gotten it right. I'

One of my favorite things that Alexa can do, which Siri still can't, is integrate with my Logitech Harmony and SmartThings hubs. This lets me control all my AV devices and Lutron Z-Wave lights using voice commands. I hear now there&#x2

Not to mention when Google blocked YouTube from Echo Show devices. This almost seems like retaliation.

If you live in the SF bay area, Good Eggs sells several types of uncured bacon. The one from Sonoma County Meat seems the least processed, having only salt and spices added. None of them are cheap though, around $14-16 / lb, far more t

I ended up using Synology to manage my IP cameras but came to similar conclusions. It certainly isn't for the faint of heart, though satisfying at the end of the day knowing who has access to your data. I've given up on viewing th

You could always invest in IP cameras, and manage where the data goes yourself. No reason a 24/7 video stream of your home needs to be sent to a big tech company's data centers, anyway, or any data center for that matter.

At one point, I read that the rule in question, is you cannot push new features without going through the approval process again. So it really comes down to what Apple considers "new features". People have definitely pushed bug fi
