Bad UI, quickly out-of-date data, required trip to dealer to update said data, and lack of traffic awareness makes them just useless compared to something like Waze.

Science and Religion aren't at odds with each other, they never have been. What has been at odds is religion and scientific discoveries that contradict or disprove the religious story. Heliocentric system flew in the face of the bible

But when google consumes the content of the book and lists it in their search engine to be discoverable and lead to sales, they don't seem to have a problem with that... right?

Autologin doesn't really matter for me, with a single primary account, autologin can be enabled anyway. Controlling the TV with the hand, while I haven't used it long term, was a rather annoying experience IMO, since it twice did

Eh.. Kinect GAMES are kinda weak... The most useful features of the kinect only need a mic to work, but of course MS wont let you just use a mic for those features... they want you to buy a ridiculously expensive gadget to collect dust whil

No they don't... cares combust on a fairly regular (albiet low probability) basis... and Tesla actually has sensors and warnings unlike most cars...

I don't think you would understand how hard it is to speak, as someone with real world experience, about small-town Oklahoma unless you have lived in small-town Oklahoma... its a special kind of place. And special in this context isnt

Pointed out that you're thinking close mindedly isn't an insult. You're seeing only from your perspective. And saying that in a group of people who think more along the lines of what I described, that you would be considered

Overreact much? At no point did I attack you or deserve that response. You've made it clear that your relationships are work aren't all that important to you. The context of this entire conversation is entirely focused on work...

The "culture fit" shouldnt be an interview all its own, its should be something that every person they speak to considers. Speaking only technically will give you that person's tech skills... that person's non-tech skill

The clear thing here.. You're way of thinking is extremely close-minded... you're actually misrepresenting what I said to make your argument, because you're determined to make your point. Which, as I said, goes a long way. Y

Or maybe your perspective (which seems jaded) is a bit different than a lot of peoples? There is no reason that your friends and co-workers shouldnt overlap. There is no reason you shouldn't love going to work. There is no reason you

Yep, Im not saying its perfect, either... I have a lot of friends with plenty of DoD, NMCI stuff... but you know, they show up to an interview for a digital agency in full dress with a perfectly pruned resume and pressed shirts... because t

You're not hiring someone the same... You can have an entirely different skill set, knowledge base, experience base, and be a similar fit, culturally. But you know, if you have an office full of people who enjoy spending their time tog

I mean, the creator of these seems like someone I wouldn't want to work with. There is a lot to be said about creating a culture in a company, and grooming said culture, and making sure to preserve aspects of it you see as powerful fo

First, thanks! I genuinely appreciate that knowledge, I'd have never looked it up on my own.. Second... why's gravity gotta be such a dick? :)

I've seen trucks (tractor-trailers) with flames coming from the brakes on 6% grades downhill... and the uphill sides of those the trucks are in low gear at high RPM doing 15-20mph MAX, running at 3-4x the rpm they'd run doing 75 o

That said... Even I personally am guilty of being judgemental about grammar, but only at a basic level. If you ask me for "a apple" though, I have an almost uncontrollable reaction to sigh at you in judgement.

Reeks of elitism... he's probably one of those owners who forces everyone, even those who are never customer facing, to wear dress attire to work. Walking into a business when I'm job searching, If I see a room full of engineers w

iFixit got it's start with apple products... tear downs, screen replacements guides, etc... their focus was the iDevice market, hence the name. An intentional decision is not a grammar mistake

And why does anyone need permission to land on the moon?

Yeah... then what? Police say "oh, you were doing 75mph in a 50? ticket!"... insurance rate hike, etc... how much liability would they be picking up if they exposed all of that, and how quickly would people be throwing a fit abou

I'd say trust the car... It would be easy to correlate one sensor failure and one part of the crash (detected hands on the wheels, kept it going int autopilot - because the sensor failure would lead to the crash) But to say that sensor

Why? Does Dodge, ford, chevy, mercedes, etc... have any obligation to step into every crash and turn over all kinds of data? Tesla looks into more crashes than they should, and in turn are being treated more in the wrong for simply looking
