Acquiring a company just for the brand or even just to make it disappear is pretty common in all of the corporate world.

Pretty funny how it says "Unauthorized access" right below screenshots of features clearly being enabled.

Go back to reddit if you really want to live in the pretend world where Biden is a gentle, benevolent dictator just because you're not bothered about the people his admin is helping repress at home and abroad.

what in the world did I say that makes you think that this is my opinion? God, this place is exhausting...

you could add a random number to the encrypted data on the card and require it to always be the same or larger than the last time that card was seen, and then increment it every time the card is used.

What are you even talking about... "the Biden cops"..? You do realize that capitol police don't take orders from the president?

With the current state of American politics I would expect the following to happen:

1. He lynches someone
2. He gets convicted
3. He brings a case claiming that a SCOTUS justice has criminal immunity for official acts, and that the lynching was clearly an official act
4. The case escalates up to SCOTUS
5. Him and his buddies rule in his favor and he walks free

No, the other user is claiming that they don't have a "working" full self driving but is being vague about what they mean by "working".

I don't think the other commenter is being is vague at all. "Full self driving" quite literally means Level 5, maybe level 4. That's just what those words mean. There's no argument here.

Full Self Driving is just the name of the software

Yes, which is the problem.

The end goal of it is to eventually be capable of level 5 self driving so that's why it's named like that even though it has been a work in progress all of it's existence.

Which is exactly why calling it "full self driving" now doesn't make any sense. It's false advertising at best, and a super dangerous overpromise at worst.

Wouldn't make much sense to call it "partial self driving under supervision" because Full Self Driving is a better marketing term.

Of course it's a "better marketing term", because "full self driving" is the pinnacle of self driving tech, what Tesla and everyone else in the race is trying to achieve. The problem is that what they have is not full self driving, and in fact whether it can ever be achieved with current Tesla hardware is far from proven. I'm not confused as to why they call it that, I'm arguing the point that they shouldn't call it that.

Misleading? Well yeah perhaps but that's what marketing teams do. Nothing new there.

Not at all. This is not typically what marketing teams do at all. It's pretty damn unusual for a major corporation to sell a product under the technical term for what it may be at some point. Or do you have any other examples of this?

Not a single Tesla owner is under the illusion that you can just enable the system and take a nap.

Maybe not, but do you really think no-one bought a Tesla based on Elon's promise that it'd be fully self driving by 2019? Or that you could monetize it by having it run as a robotaxi at night by 2020?

Doesn't mean people don't do that but they know that they shouldn't.

Tesla and Musk not constantly overpromising and misrepresenting their product with false confidence might help with preventing people from placing undue trust in the system.

Personally I don't see a huge issue with that name. It's level 2

As you say, it's level 2. "Full self driving" is level 5. You still don't see the problem with the name?

it does what the name implies: drives itself

It quite literally does not drive itself given that a driver needs to be around and alert to take over at any moment.

It's monetized through server boosts (upgrading a community to have premium features) and premium accounts that give users additional perks and features.

Wait, so in your mind products need to have "working" in their name in order to be held to the standard of ... working? I don't understand what you're trying to argue at all. They're calling and selling this product as "full self driving". It's not full self driving. It doesn't need to be called "working full self driving" in order for it to be misleading.

Fair enough — though the trauma is also just one of the named conditions, and we have no idea what that trauma was caused by.

It's been a pretty common practice for online companies for years. There are SaaS providers that offer APIs just for this purpose. At my previous job we implemented something like this too; making a rough guess at the gender of users based on just their name and some additional information. The only reason we did that is because we didn't want to ask people for their gender when they registered because that seemed arbitrary and frankly we didn't care, but at the same time we still needed a rough overall split for investor reporting and high level marketing strategy decisions.

I assume Discord would do this for similar reasons.

Pretty funny that it took that long. Expertly executed rebrand.

I don't see anyone claiming they have "working full self driving"

... They're literally calling it "Full self driving".

Stopping the supply of free bombs to the IDF might help too!

What a strange strange comment. Why are you talking about how "Jews" were "portrayed" to be "wise" but then "the promotional image didn't match the product"?

Among Jews, there are both good and bad people

Which should go entirely without saying, which is why your comment is so strange. You keep talking about "Jews" as an entity that has a "promotional image" and that you perceive collectively as "smart like Einstein", or not.

I don't really see why you say you'd make an "exception" for strong and lasting physical pain (which by the way are of course the vast majority of assisted suicide cases), but not for mental health reasons. In this case multiple doctors concluded that the patient is unlikely to improve, and no progress has been made in over 10 years of therapy.

especially if solutions aren't limited to the individual level.

What do you mean by "not limited to the individual level"?

Why are you assuming that her mental situation developed as a result of society or "the government"? The article mentions that her conditions are chronic and started developing in early childhood. People can have mental conditions without any particular external trigger.

I think that's pretty normal to some extent, I remember reading that you can kinda see people's inner monologue on a head MRI based on tiny movements of speech organs. Take this with a massive grain of salt, no idea where I read that and too lazy to find it right now lol.

Personally I definitely notice every now and then that when I activate my inner voice I also slightly move my tongue etc. as if I was saying what it says.

How does this work? Like you sometimes can't control your inner voice, it just says things to you on its own accord?

It's a stupid meme, don't take it seriously...
