That is true, but if it's a 2002 model and this first happened now, I perceived it to be a low-probability event.

I don't mean to downplay the seriousness of this bug, I'm just saying it doesn't have as catastrophic implications as it would if this happened in a state-of-the-art Tesla.

Thanks, that turns this from a very serious concern to a much smaller one.

I thought it was a Tesla that somehow completely failed to see a pedestrian and then to stop when it made contact, which would have terrible implications for the rest of the fleet.

I'm a father of a two year old daughter. My friends and family have a bunch of kids similar age.

We're in a progressive country where gender equality is good and most people are aware to not show bias and offer girls toy cars and stuff.

My takeaway from the past two years is: There is clear gender preference. Boys generally like cars, girls like dolls. Both like books and puzzles.

Of course there are exceptions but the stereotype is a stereotype for a reason.

You are describing a traditional online retailer.

I agree there is probably nothing inherently 'wasteful' about drop-shipping, but it is just another middleman and so it 'wastes' money for the buyer/seller, but that's probably a thin argument.

But of course the main wastefulness of the process is the whole system of constantly pushing people to consume tons of disposable useless crap.

According to my belief system any mention of evolution is blasphemy so I can not answer this question.

I suspect the only way to develop a method that stops the onset of symptoms is to detect the symptoms really early and figure out what to do from there.

Otherwise there is no way to distinguish between someone who never got cancer and someone who did but had the progression stop before it became a problem.

In a way, but the downside to the losing party is limited. Also in (at least some of) these systems, it is not an automatic order for the losing party to pay, the court can decide to order it or not.

I don't think there really is any feasible way to prevent rich people and companies to have access to more/better representation.

Thanks for the Wikipedia link. From the results of this exercise it seems it really was necessary, in order to avoid the same catastrophes on D-day itself. However the operation did alert the Nazis that something was up, and they apparently did reinforce the landing sites in preparation for an assault.

As a side not since this is HN: The article summary box lists Nazi Germany as a party to the exercise with all of the E-boats, presumably due to article quality control requirements in the Wikipedia system.

Oh ok, I'd heard about the emissions quota, but I always thought it wasn't a simple average of the offered range, but was surely weighted by sales.

I'm curious, how do the regulations incentivize making a model that they don't really need to sell much of?

I guess some is the key word. It makes sense to disallow charge backs for Kickstarters and such, because that whole premise is: You pay me a certain amount of money, and I'll try my best to get you something in return.

They have actually had one positive influence on my life. After having dealt with exactly what you described a few times, I learned that I don't need anything that's on Pinterest. If a search results returns a pinterest link, I ignore it. If I can't find it anywhere except that link, it's as good as a dead link so I move on. This can be extended to much of the internet. So much peace now.
