That isn't surprising for most people. It is also hard to say without knowing which year and model Porsche she was driving. Someone with a Cayenne Turbo GT will have a different experience from someone with a 1st gen base Macan. A juni

I mean this turn of speech makes it easier to identify hunan (carbon) or machine (silicon) content. Took me a bit to figure it out too

Damn, what a turn of opportunities from just saying yes and showing up (and obviously a ton of hardwork and sacrifices). Thanks for sharing! I can't resist ... > There were other dramatic events that evening in Cambridge that I thin

Ridiculed by whom? We've seen many competitors try to make a streaming service and beyond Apple, they all provide a laggy experience even in the menus. If you're going to emulate someone, it's not a bad idea to emulate who ha

I think we all saw how that went when the non-profit board assumed they had any credible power.

No they don't. They _say_ they do (really mainly Amazon) and the rumor develops legs and gets repeated. To actually do this, you need an objective measure that is repeatable over many different kinds of products, domains and people and

Google is the big tech company with that reputation though. MS has pockets but pays considerably worse

Not really until tesla - Mercedes has been excitedly shipping creaky piano black plastic for years and I'm sure there are many other brands cutting corners to reduce price. (Porsche doesn't seem to care which is good)

These depend heavily on car. What kind of car is this? The decision to have an annoying beep instead of a soft ding or pop up is stupid but many cars do this. Mine handles seatbelts well and never has a false positive there so it's no

That link validates the board's claim, does it not? "Not being candid" is a form of communication breakdown.
