Teslas get regular OTA updates. They sometimes fail, but they've been remotely patching their vehicles for years.

She didn't voluntarily choose "Send me pregnancy related ads," the system inferred that from her history/context. She's asking why the system couldn't also infer that her pregnancy failed, after she made a considerable amount, if not more/stronger signals for the later.

Driving is a much smaller scope than technology. If you restrict the development of technology skills, when you eventually reintroduce technology it will take months or even years to catch up to peers that have been using technology for their entire life.

Yes, because China being lower on the developmental scale than the US is a bad thing.

Also, copying isn't cheating. Copying/imitating is the free market at work.

Groupme. Largest group messaging app used, by far. There is also a large number using Discord, but that is mostly the more nerdy/gamer kids. No one wants to use facebook, but unfortunately most of the parents use facebook so they are forced to use it by association.

This is a poor article. Props to Fortnite for having a higher percentage of female players, but the article doesn't provide any legit justification for it. An inside source providing vague information doesn't really help the legitimacy of the article.

The game isn't as much aimed as females as gender neutral. Without spending money there is a random chance that you play each match as a boy or girl, and the idea that "when you play as a girl character, guys will help you” is complete bs.

More important to the games success (and it's higher percentage of women playing) is a lower barrier to entry than other more hardcore games such as PUBG or Battlefield. The game was designed to be easy to get in to, and is available on almost all platforms. This more than anything has led to it's smashing success, not "women characters"

But they disabled the store on the streaming app. So in function it was separate.

Buying (or trying to buy) 50% of the total supply of mining equipment would substantially increase the price, to the point where the ROI is so long that it becomes unprofitable (especially if your long-term goal is a $0 bitcoin).

But do they really need to answer those questions? Clearly they don't want to publisize the establishments that they called. The most likely record calls (although they probably don't know if the final product will) and why would they confirm that they have done something illegal.

It doesn't hurt them to not answer these questions, and they definitely don't want to answer some of them, so why would they?

WSJ has been publishing a ridiculous number of Tesla articles lately. Some (most?) have a negative slant. Tesla is not that entertaining to require several articles per week.

Fun fact, that episode was actually based off of their previous videos.
