They're already working on getting Starcraft to 64 bit [1], but Starcraft is also interesting in that this is the second time this has happened. As a PowerPC application, it also required Rosetta back in the day, and now will need furt

You can still perform most common radio functions with the physical buttons on the steering wheel in the Model 3, and there's also voice control.

Yep. Singapore is always the country I point to when opponents point at (insert area) which legalized drug use and saw numbers go down. They don't beat Singapore's numbers, and Singapore's approach is a lot different.

> But I cannot really support, in good conscience, punishing drug users to the point where they are pushed to become homeless. To a large extent I agree with your point here, but these cities are well beyond simply not punishing drug use

The claim isn't that you can "just stop being homeless." > Nobody "chooses" homelessness, but like anything else, becoming / staying homeless often is the result of numerous choices, some of which are easier

My argument didn't even address costs. Did you mean to respond to another comment? This does seem to be a topic that is (for whatever reason) very difficult to have a straightforward conversation about.

We had a post here last week about soda taxes in Philadelphia and it seemed like common sense that by making sugary drinks more expensive, you are encouraging people to consume it less, which results in fewer people drinking it. We can disc

Neat. It sounds like this extra step prevents a situation where, for example, a dev's server-side database gets hacked and the users' relay e-mail addresses are exposed. The attacker wouldn't even be able to send e-mail messa

Such a dev would likely just not implement "Sign in with Apple". This is for the devs that specifically want the minimal-friction sign-in.

The level of "badness" required probably varies based on the company's needs. Those guys might have to make less popular decisions if they were in charge of, say, Radio Shack ten years ago. Or maybe different company needs ju

Well it seems like a gray area. There's a meaningful difference between "accessing" something and "having access to" something. To me this seems like it would only cover the former.

I'm not OP, but if you're using a VPC endpoint for S3, a common use case is so you can restrict the S3 bucket to be accessible only from that VPC. That VPC might be where even your on-site internal traffic is coming from, if you s

The first leases aren't up for three years, and the fate of the company doesn't rest entirely on self driving tech. It's not "their plan," it's just an additional way to bring in cash. If the cars can't be

They're calling them robo-taxis, and who knows if they'll succeed, but I did want to point out that what they're doing isn't inconsistent with a company that genuinely believes in its near-future autonomous capabilities

You're not, but you should ask yourself why people with the same views have been predicting failure since 2012.

by moduspol 7y ago
Because they also need money now, so they started leasing Model 3 and telling lessees that Tesla will be keeping the car after the lease expires. They get money now and keep the car for use as a robo-taxi.
