It’s not entirely clear what unit the number is in. Checked the manual and it’s a time-based distance to next car measure.

I actually filed a legal complaint about this. Ultimately the claim was rejected so no law in Denmark to protect against this [1]. Tesla was sentenced to pay me a small compensation ($800) for not getting proper consent for the update, but

Would feel like less of a money grab if they rolled this out with price reductions, given the increase in subscriptions I assume they expect as a consequence. They might even be able to sell it as a way to bring justice to those that do not

Absolutely, this is a central subject of study in Tactile Internet from what I’ve heard; next-gen backhaul/WAN technology. It starts with first hop to support local Tactile Internet networks. Private, ultra low latency 5G LANs are alre

If your threat model includes a compromise of Google (or your Google account), sure. You should also probably use a hardware TOTP device in that case. For most people, this is a sufficient level of security. It’s always a trade off between

This is only for S and X, which, as far as I know, still use 18650 cells by Panasonic, so this says nothing about Tesla battery tech. The really interesting thing is to see how their cost saving changes, especially the change to non-nickel

I’m in the founders hub program as well and have been very happy with the generous amount of credits, which I have also used for GPU SKUs (don’t remember the exact SKU). It’s true that there are some constraints on eligible SKUs, but I have

As a Tesla owner with a model 3 that used to have radar until Tesla disabled it I find this argument funny. Radar failed when the front got covered in ice, that's about it. With Tesla Vision (camera only), it no longer has any active s

True it does not matter if it’s a cookie, or whatever. You need to look to the ePrivacy directive article 5.3 for which exemption case applies. In the case of timestamps, it would be case A : > when the cookie is used “for the sole purpo

Been through burnout myself (still recovering, takes a long time). Look for things that bring you joy (and don’t get carried away). If your body says no, it’s probably not a good fit for you right now. Being in tech likely means you have sk

Given Musks public statements on goals and strategies, I think you should view it more holistically. With Musk, everything is a step towards the end goal(s), like colonizing Mars (which might even be the only goal since it ties everything t

I’m surprised that reward misalignment is not making the list. Seems to me like in many places, career success is mostly driven by metrics that are not related to good software engineering practices (specifically showmanship). Normally I

I absolutely agree, it is incredibly hard to get money out of consumers pockets. For this very reason, a lot of bootstrapping efforts go into collaboration with players in niches where consumers do spend money historically, for example the

Absolutely not a coincident that Google is proposing a protocol that allows protocol level user tracking. By making the session ticket server-initiated and not client-controlled all control is also stripped from the user.

It’s a good lesson in the importance of picking the right things to measure/optimize for. Queue length is not a good thing to optimize for by itself.

There’s always more you can do to drive up availability but it comes at a cost and at some point the cost exceeds the prevented losses. There’s also no real brand damage from being down when everybody else is also down due to a common and w

I would expect that it contributes to sales both by creating a fake sense of validation from others and by creating a fake sense of urgency (get it while in stock!), both of which are good tools to compromise decision making of the buyer.

I have even found that just changing my phone to grayscale helps a lot and it’s an easy thing to do. I use a shortcut to toggle it so I can easily enable colors when I need them.
