>Other than missing lane assist and adaptive cruise, I see no useful features that have emerged in cars for nearly 20 years.

You're forgetting fuel economy and crashworthiness. Fuel economy has improved greatly in the last 20 years; I drive a car that 20 years ago with this much power and weight would probably have gotten less than 30mpg on the highway, this one gets 40. Of course, gas prices are low so you might not care about this. But crash protection has also gotten far better in the last 15-20 years. You can walk away from a crash in a modern car that would have maimed or killed you in your 15yo one (even for a car of the same rough size).

>Electric cars are about it, but the environmental impact of effectively throwing away a perfectly good car to get a new electric car defeats the purpose.

Wrong. You're not "throwing away a perfectly good car", you're reselling that car on the used market to someone else, and in the end (assuming the market doesn't expand) this results eventually in some really old POS car somewhere being junked, which is good because it's pouring out emissions and wasting fuel. More people buying new cars increases the supply of newer cars on the used market, which helps push the oldest and crappiest cars out of usage. Of course, there's limits to this, but the point is: don't feel bad about getting rid of a "perfectly good car"; it's going to continue getting used, just not by you, and theoretically results in another car that really isn't "perfectly good" getting finally retired.

The thing that really sucks here is that, in some states at least, you're highly penalized for buying a new or newer car because of personal property taxes. They should just eliminate these taxes for all but luxury vehicles maybe, to encourage people to buy newer cars to improve safety and emissions. There's already a disincentive in higher insurance rates; we don't need to add to that with pointless taxes.

Slightly more useful than `set -e` is `set -E` and `trap exit ERR`.

But still there's basically no way to make this consistently useful.

Even if you religiously set -e/E in every scope just in case, if you're anywhere in a scope inside the non-final operand of a bunch of &&/||s, or as the conditional expression in a control structure or whatever, -e/E will just do nothing, you can't turn it any more on, you just don't get early termination on errors no matter how many nested function calls you're actually removed from the original ||. It's not great.
Musk misses the deaclones he sets for himself constantly. Maybe always?
The scientists at The University of Nottingham and Tehran University of Medical Sciences set out to test the effect of replacing diet drinks with water by comparing weight loss in two randomly selected groups of type 2 diabetic women during a 24 week diet programme. The results are published in the journal Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism.

(...)

Dr Hamid Farshchi, from The University of Nottingham’s School of Life Sciences, said: “Our results are very interesting. They show that the women drinking water after their main meal at lunch time over 24 weeks lost on average 1.16kg more than the women who drank diet drinks after their meal. We think that by drinking water instead of sweet-tasting diet drinks, the women may be adhering better to the weight loss diet because artificial sweeteners may increase desire for sweetened and more energy dense foods.

Over 400,000 Tesla Model 3 reservation holders who are putting off their next car purchase until the car is out - and industry expecting a ~300k decline in sales this year. Coincidence? I have to imagine 400k people committed to a car coming out in the next year is a bunch of people who might otherwise be in the market staying on the sidelines. I'm certainly one of them.
Not sure about the "subconsciously learn" part but you may be concerned to learn that the same "sweet" detectors you have on your tongue are also in your gut, and sign to the pancreas that some glucose is on the way so get cranking.

So I don't drink them out of concern for hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance in the cells (DMT2) and related endocrine issues.

Please note that there are NO STUDIES of this as far as I know: my choice not to drink them is entirely based on first principles and the easy fact that it's not hard to avoid them. I am not a fan of crazy health fads ("Hey kids, let's wash out those ol' bags of toxins with a juice cleanse") but like I said there's basically no downside to avoiding those drinks anyway.
Ooh, no wait, their phone line, after they killed "Nexus" despite building a solid brand behind that for a few years. To call it the same thing that their original Chromebook was called was just insult to injury. Whoever manages their branding obviously has no idea what they're doing.

There's no evidence for anything in your first paragraph.. I know it was a popular conspiracy theory on the auto forums but it doesn't remotely pass the sniff test.. Cash for clunkers only turned in 690k cars, not 'millions' and they had to get terrible mileage to qualify in the first place so the list of trade-in was almost entirely 90s era SUVs. In any case, in the preceding 15 years there were something like 200 million vehicles sold in the US. Removing under half a percent of those couldn't possibly have had a half-decade impact on the used car market.
Car dealerships are also among the ugliest, least appealing places in urban settings. But then, everything car-related is part of perhaps the majority of what's bad about modern society…
You are stuck with it for that whole term though. You'll be upside down on it immediately, and your loan principal won't catch up to the residual value of the car for 5-6 years with a loan that long. That means you can't easily trade it in for another one, and any kind of financial hardship is more likely to result in repossession.
Another fun one is that

set -e
export x=$(false)
echo ok

prints ok, but

set -e
export x
x=$(false)
echo ok

exits early because of the `false`.
It may support those behaviors under some circumstances. Of course, this is dependent on why you are using it. I've heard of bodybuilders who take it to the extreme and drink diet sodas like water. However, if usage is as benign as some artificial sweetener as opposed to sugar in your coffee, you are really only reaping the advantages of artificial sweetener.
I witnessed the death of my close grandfather a few years ago at 27. I was there at the moment he died and it was quite eye opening. Ever since I've developed a different outlook and understanding of death that I would have never had had I not witnessed it first-hand so closely.

He seemed okay, and didn't fight it. Ironic considering how long he fought cancer all the years before... having witnessed that fact was a little relieving to me. I imagined it much more difficult. However he was at a very different stage in life, saw it coming, and was ready. I suppose that's the most optimistic outcome.
Huh? I've replaced tons of them. Before they went to platinum/iridium plugs, you still needed to change them at 20-50k. The platinum or iridium ones will last 100k I think, but any car these days lasts longer than that, so they still need to be replaced once or twice. But on modern inline engines they're generally really easy to replace.

Maybe you meant to ask when the last time someone replaced a distributor or adjusted points was? A lot of cars still had distributors up until around 2000 or so, so they're not completely gone yet. But points, thankfully, have been gone since the 70s.
Because the older meaning of "virtual reality" is similar in meaning to "cyberspace" and not just a euphemism for "3D immersive display". It meant exactly what the phrase implied -- a virtual reality. Displays like the Oculus are a way to experience a virtual reality, but are not full immersion (eg, tactile feedback) and are not the only way we could theoretically experience one. Things like advanced cockpit or vehicle simulators arguably count. (Think things with a mocked up vehicle interior, but windows are replaced by monitors. Often, these are mounted on systems that provide motion feedback.)

That meaning has largely been transitioned to the term "virtual world" (eg, in Second Life's marketing materials) because of the terminology collision around 3D headsets.

I personally think this is an abuse of marketing that destroyed a useful term to a reductionist view because they wanted to co-opt the interest and goodwill around the long history of literature on the original meaning. Other people feel differently.

In your case, you're being downvoted because you're insisting people only use the reductive new meaning of the term, when it was used perfectly sensibly in the older style in the title. (As it would apply, in calling Second Life "VR", since it's a "virtual reality".)
One of the fundamental techniques used by most varieties of mysticism is to make proclamations vague enough that they can be plausibly associated with any fact that is discovered later on. This is how mystics trick gullible people into believing that they have hidden knowledge. The trick is that these proclamations can't be used to make useful predictions; they only fit the data in hindsight.

But the automaker isn't making much money with a 0% loan rate, because the bank isn't taking the hit on that (the automaker is paying them somehow), so it basically means the automaker isn't getting the full price that was paid.

It's not clear to me what their development timeline is, although constant Alpha releases are promising.

I think this is where a lot of the risk exists. Normally a development studio grows by successfully releasing games (in terms of money). Star Citizen is in uncharted waters in that regard.

> Pound for pound, a MacBook will last longer while doing more than a Windows or Linux laptop, despite Microsoft's and Linus's efforts to rectify this.

There is no "Windows or linux laptop". There is a bunch of different brands with varying degree of quality. Macbook lasting more than a dell or an acer, maybe. More than a thinkpad or a surface ? Much less so.

And of course you forget about the desktops...Companies are still using a non negligible amount of those.

I agree, I think we are farther off from truly autonomous driving than we believe, too many factors play into it that tend to be forgotten( I'm guilty of it as well when it comes to self-driving or a lot of technologies I'd love to see sooner than later):

1. Some people just enjoy driving their cars, tinkering with them from an automotive perspective and the like, self-driving cars will inhibit that due to their heavier reliance on software, design differences and lack of modification abilities as opposed to today's vehicles, self-driving cars won't gain acceptance from that crowd for a while.

2. The first accident that is caused by a self-driving car will cause a major set-back in the eye of the public, airplanes are over-engineered for the sake of redundancy and safety and I don't believe that level of detail will be applied to self-driving vehicles, honestly. Government standards will be met and companies will achieve the best safety ratings they can because it just doesn't hurt your product to have that as a selling point(I purchased my last vehicle for my family almost solely on it's high safety ratings) but sooner or later a self-driving vehicle will cause a casualty or injury.

3. Control and change, it is a complete paradigm shift for transportation as a whole and it will take a while some people to want to adapt or change with the times, a lot of cars are driven for sentimental reasons, the self-driving car tends to pull away from the romantic image of a vehicle(road trips come to mind as an example).

4.Cost, Self-driving cars bring a whole new level of technology to the consumer, how will that be handled from a financial perspective? Car dealers aren't known to be consumer friendly. Will there be economy models available? What about the individuals who just can't afford a self-driving car and are fine with a non-self-driving vehicle, individuals who can't afford to purchase a new car at all?
+1 for the advent of code. Good for beginners and experts alike. It's well thought out, bite sized and easy to pickup and leave
Exactly. Too many people in software thing that "design" is the paint brush. They think design is CSS. It can be part of it, and certainly visual design deals with these things sometimes, but design is the way something works, NOT JUST HOW IT LOOKS. Something can be a fantastic design but text-based, or use grey forms and white text boxes. Great design helps users intuitively use software quickly and efficiently. Conversely, terrible design can look good. There are tons and tons of apps + sites these days which look cool / modern / fun while being absolutely awful to use. Some of them are almost on purpose, like Snapchat with hidden features that you'd have to discover by randomly swiping, tapping, holding, shaking, etc. Oversimplification can also be bad design. See: Google's recent phishing happening where the malicious authorized app appeared as "Google Docs" with a legit logo everywhere including in the "authorized apps" section in your account, with the actual publisher hidden in a small grey arrow drop-down menu item ( https://arstechnica.com/security/2017/05/google-docs-phish-w... ).

The big car companies doing automatic driving (Ford, Volvo, etc.) are talking about 2020 as the rollout year for the technology. They're public about this because the supply chain has to get ready. Continental, the parts maker, says they'll have automotive LIDAR units in mass production in 2020. Not because they can't do it sooner, but because they can't turn on the production line until there are volume orders. Prototypes, of course, will be available much sooner. Probably now.
That's true, but I do feel there's a difference between querying the objectivity of someone's view and leveling an accusation at them.

I've witnessed plenty of gender bias in IT (and my comment history goes into quite a bit of detail in past discussions), but I can't say this article seems to be indicative of it to me.

It appears that when you account for the majority of situations, women actually have a higher acceptance rate then men for pull requests, but in a rather subjective measurement ("identifiably gendered profiles" for "outsiders"), the trend reverses. I don't know that there's necessarily a lot of evidence that maintainers are going around looking for things that identify genders in a profile before they accept a pull request, and if that single measurement is indicative of bias against women in one specific situation, it seems they have even stronger evidence of bias against men in other situations.

There seems to be questionable correlation that requires belief that a unfalsifiable and subjective judgment is occurring. There's no hard proof that this correlation exists to begin with, much less proof of it being causal in nature.

There's plenty of real gender bias and discrimination going on. Let's try to focus on that.
"Uber being popular" is probably just an American thing.

You joke, but I am really confused what is the "official" Google phone and what is not.

First, there was the Nexus One by HTC, then Nexus S by Samsung, then Galaxy Nexus by Samsung (how is that different than Galaxy S* series?), a bunch in between that were no less confusing, and now there's a Pixel.

The Nexus branding seems to have been tied to the manufacturer, which only added to my confusion. I just want to know what is the Google sanctioned phone.

So yes, they didn't do a very good job at marketing their brand and setting it apart from the "clones".
A reasonable point. I'd say the US is worse in absolute terms (simply on account of a much larger number of number of fatal shootings and the like), but whether that means it's more racist or similarly so and just more violent in general is tricky to analyze. It's unfortunate that we find ourselves having to make such comparisons at all :-(
Yeah, I agree. We learn most everyday about things "Science" got wrong because new science proves it.

That's not to be dismissive or meant to deny what we do know, only that it's wise to be humble and keep looking and learning.
