NSW basically did a fake lockdown and took their sweet time in even getting to that point. Other states like Victoria and South Australia have locked down quick, hard, and within two weeks effectively eliminated community transmission.

Nobody in this thread can spell brakes it seems.

The regenerative braking is done in the electric motor, not the calliper/disc. Nothing has changed there.

I had the same problem, changing the 'keyring' bit to a smaller one I had laying around helped a lot but it is still bulky.

I suffered some mental issues that began in 2012 and peaked in February this year. I _knew_ I should go and see a doctor but always because of my "intelligence" convinced myself that I needed to get my diet in order first, or meditate consistently first, or exercise consistently first, or apply any number fixes that I knew could shift the needle of my condition.

It took someone saying 'this is bad, you should go to a doctor' for me to actually make that appointment and go through with it.

That has helped a lot. I wish I had done it 8 years ago.

> I don't quite get how the loss could have such an effect.

The main damage to the business was the revealing of the fraud and driving away the people who were going to buy it.

Nobody is going to stick around for years waiting for court proceedings to finish up to complete a purchase of a small business - they’ll just find something else.

> Its a promise about the future.

Which they haven’t yet delivered on, so the car doesn’t have full self driving.

> yes you do need to pay attention

Part of their promise is that it’ll drive off and park itself. Can’t really pay attention when you’re not in it.

I have all the hardware “required” to win a formula one Grand Prix. Have I won a formula one Grand Prix?

I’ll believe they have all the hardware required when they deliver on the promise.

> Can you currently sit in a Tesla and go from A to B safely without paying attention to the car? No.

End of story, it doesn't have "full" self driving. They have not delivered on the promise. They may do so in the future but categorically have not done so yet.

Even reading it that way says 'not here yet'.

What's promised in that paragraph as a whole is stress free leaving the car to do its thing, even when you're not in it.

What is in the videos on youtube is the driver needing to be hypervigilant to prevent it hitting curbs, waiting behind parked cars and driving off the road down light rail tracks.

But it isn't what was promised in the paragraph above. Ergo, no full self driving.

Funny, I prefer this page: https://www.tesla.com/autopilot

"Full Self-Driving Capability

All new Tesla cars have the hardware needed in the future for full self-driving in almost all circumstances. The system is designed to be able to conduct short and long distance trips with no action required by the person in the driver’s seat.

All you will need to do is get in and tell your car where to go. If you don’t say anything, the car will look at your calendar and take you there as the assumed destination or just home if nothing is on the calendar. Your Tesla will figure out the optimal route, navigate urban streets (even without lane markings), manage complex intersections with traffic lights, stop signs and roundabouts, and handle densely packed freeways with cars moving at high speed. When you arrive at your destination, simply step out at the entrance and your car will enter park seek mode, automatically search for a spot and park itself. A tap on your phone summons it back to you.

The future use of these features without supervision is dependent on achieving reliability far in excess of human drivers as demonstrated by billions of miles of experience, as well as regulatory approval, which may take longer in some jurisdictions. As these self-driving capabilities are introduced, your car will be continuously upgraded through over-the-air software updates."

It's possible, but your scale is severely limited as you have to actively moderate your site. You also have to build a culture where users value their position in the community and fear losing access to it for doing the wrong thing.

Websites/forums exist in countries without an s230 equivalent.

Do you have data the Australian Institute for Health and Welfare doesn't have?

In NSW suicide fell by 5% last year:

There was also a dip in Victoria:

I dunno dude, the guy is a law professor. Do you have something more compelling for me to read instead? No insult to you but right now I'm running in to the 'guy on the internet has opinions problem' I hope you'll understand.

This guy from Yale thinks the same as the first one I linked:

> In the US, the States are explicitly prohibited from closing their borders as a matter of Constitutional law

This appears to be wrong: https://www.justsecurity.org/69770/can-governors-close-their...

The states didn't agree on anything - when a state had an outbreak other states independently chose to close the border to them and administered border passes until the outbreak subsided.

The federal government didn't close the state borders in Australia, the state governments did. Australia is a federation just like the USA.

I literally came here to comment that the very first bug I had to chase down in a production system in my first job was caused by this! There was a 'fuzzy' search field available to users and when one input a client's ID number (formatted as NNNNNNN) it was showing results for a different client because NNNNNNN was also the format of the unique ID for records in the database.

I didn't touch my phone for the whole month of November last year instead using my apple watch. I left it plugged in at home out of sight.

In my country there is no covid so life was practically normal. My office has blanket wifi and I discovered the watch would easily do a day if connected.

The most annoying part was how slowly my airpods connected to the watch when taken out of their case, it made the first 15 seconds or so of incoming phone calls very awkward.
