The one I had to sign for IBM in Pittsburgh basically says they own everything I do, even in my time away from my job. It's pretty ridiculous.

Worked for them. It was pretty awesome until we got acquired by IBM.

>A million times this. People think that the second law of thermodynamics doesn't apply to them because "biology is complex!", which sounds an awful lot like the creationists. Well there are ways that make hitting a calori

You don't understand. "Supercharging" means hardware. It takes additional charging hardware to be compatible with a supercharger. On the Model S supercharging hardware was an option. I hope you are right but at this point it&

The Model X has a tablet sticking out like this for the pre-production but the production model has it molded into the dash.

People are still trying to call Tesla the new Delorean. Even after all the successful deliveries.

A common complain about FWD is understeer though. It's worse with more torque at the front wheels.

High torque FWD vehicles aren't exactly that great in the snow either. I think you would want RWD in an electric.

Just imagine how safe we will be if we reach Level 5 autonomy, no driver control possible? I think the Model 3 is going to be the first production car to reach Level 4. I'm hoping that's what the "part 2" update is.

The 4 seconds comes from speculation from an article before the reveal. Maybe that's the target for the performance variant?

"I also doubt that it will have no manual control mode, so it shouldn't an issue regardless." Could they even legally sell a vehicle with no human control right now?

That level of thinking is what you get from a company like GM. When asked about building charging infrastructure they said "we're a car company, not an infrastructure company". Tesla also quietly changed it's name from T

Supercharging hardware is included. Did not confirm it will be free. On the Model S there is a charge for supercharging hardware.

He said the hardware would be standard meaning that Autopilot will be a software unlock. The software safety features are enabled by default.

I was in the same camp as you until a few weeks ago. I finally gave in. Found that ublock origin doesn't block many types of ads though.

The immature part of me would have just done a massive url redirect to a competitor. I would say change the links on the page but that would probably get you in even more legal trouble.

Amazon really has no obligation to provide equal access to everyone though. That's a risk of building on an API. They don't need a reason to cut you off.
382.
by johnward 11y ago
Not that you actually have to break TOS. Amazon can shut down your access for no reason at all.

by johnward 11y ago
The lesson here isn't about breaking TOS. The lesson is that if you build a business around a 3rd party API that party can crush you at any moment without reason.

That's because the agreements don't say that anywhere that I can find. Both the affiliate agreement and the advertising api have no mention of not displaying historical prices. The advertising API even suggests it's OK if you

I would think that Google has the advantage of being able to use their image search results for training.

by johnward 11y ago
At least when I test that image now it seems to only tag person.

by johnward 11y ago
Was that originally recorded in 2009 too?

by johnward 11y ago
I also believe this. Almost all updates to the search engine seem to be to drive SEOs towards adwords. It's not about protecting users, it's about profit.
