That's impressive. We struggle to find a way to "migrate" from AWS Aurora 1 to 2 (that is from MySQL 5.6 to 5.7). There seems to be no (easy) way to upgrade without downtime for large databases.

Once you decide to "fire a customer", it may not be easy to get thru that process. It can be tricky if the cancellation started on the side of the software provider. We run an enterprise saas business and at one point decided we c

Based on the stated ranges of 250, 300 and 500miles (!), I would guess those battery sizes are 75, 100 and 150kWh. I hope the upcoming triple motor model S, will get that 150 battery pack next summer. That would mean 600miles of range for t

On the Tesla earnings call last week, Elon Musk stated that a software update coming in 3-6 months will allow Tesla cars with Autopilot HW2 to drive fully autonomous. At least on highways. He's predictions are always late, so it may no

If you like this story, you can continue the story with "Softwar" a book about Oracle and Larry Ellison in quite the same tone.

German highways are not ideal for a Tesla. The right lane is usually to slow, with numerous trucks going at about 90kph. You can drive fast on the left lane, a Tesla goes up to 220kph super fast, but there is usually traffic and you frequen

Uploading of collected data is indeed deactivated by default on Tesla's cars in the EU. But you can opt-in by checking a box in the cars setting. You can also opt-in to share driving videos from the eight cameras sourounding the car,

For what it's worth: The latest ETA for AP2 to reach parity with AP1 was tweeted by Elon Musk yesterday: "It's been a bear to get done, but prob 10 days or so, depending on full speed autosteer test results" https:&#x2F

Elon just tweeted:"We are going to modify this so that people only pay a fee if most bays are occupied. If the site is basically deserted, no problem to park." https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/81013552

That may be a cool thing, but the site is almost impossible to read. At least on my iPad. It might be complex to program that robot, but navigating their site shouldn't be.

I would love to use this to share my Macbook screen on an iPad with a client. One screen seems to small for more than two people to share. Perhaps I could even connect multiple iPads for small presentations without a projector. All running
