The supreme court has no enforcement mechanism. It has no army, no police. Abiding by Supreme Court rulings is by tradition only.
>Where ambiguity exists, it is the court's job to interpret the law. That's literally the entire purpose of a court.
This is also by tradition only. The Constitution doesn't specify this, nor are there any laws that say this is the job of the court.
Luckily nothing stops Congress from making laws that clarify what they granted the EPA. If they were so fussed with the EPA doing what they were doing, why didn't they leap up and pass a law that told them to stop?
Why is it the court's job to tell congress what they meant to say? Is congress mute?
This is not true. China financializes everything, and pumps capital into projects at rates unseen and unmatched in the history of the world. There is plenty of competition, as evidenced by the fact that China has apps that are fare more efficient and feature rich than anything in the US. See: WeChat.
For every car that is produced, two things are true:
(1) It takes fossil fuels to make and deliver them. (2) It takes fossil fuels to run them.
For every internal combustion engine car produced in 2022, both (1) and (2) will true for the entire life of the vehicle, which in the US is around 12 years.
For every electric car, only (1) is guaranteed to be true for the life of the car. (2) is a choice, one that we can change in the 12 years that vehicle in on the road.
Have they been outside in the summer, in the midwest? In the mid-1990s you could nearly read a book by the light of lightning bugs. Now's nearly dark.
Sidenote: I once glanced around a team I was working on a few years ago and found most of the product/program managers were gay or lesbian. Didn't strike me as discrimination, since there are, of course, gay and lesbian hardware engineers, gay and lesbian software engineers... it just happened that we all found each other on a particular team.
So that's why I think that's what's going on here, but I'm eager to hear your thoughts, as they differ from mine.

This outlay list is so stupid it borders on rage bait. That's the feeling I get from this article.
You're right about this. That's a stupid reason to buy a car, though, and indeed a stupid reason to buy anything.
You are certainly free to feel however you like about your own purchases, but I have to say, I don't understand it. Either you like the car or you don't. If you do -- great! Drive away. If you don't -- sell it. Don't see what the WFH policy of Tesla has to do with anything.
Tesla employees are adults. They are not trapped by poverty wages. They are professionals. They can leave if they don't like it.
I'm a die-hard WFH'er and also not a CEO. Musk should run his company how he feels best.
This average GPA could represent grade inflation. Or it could represent increased information symmetry between the difficulty of classes and the students themselves, paired with the students' interests, determination, and aptitude.
TL;DR: Grade inflation or survivorship bias?
Consumers don't see it this way. They often latch on to completely "irrational" cues in forming opinions of a brand. See: "Apple Tax." Note: I put "irrational" in quotes to indicate that consumers exhibit un-intuitive behavior. It's not actually a value judgement about the behavior itself, only indicating that in a purely supply-and-demand driven market environment, these behaviors would not be exhibited.

Because if they do this, the response will be "Sony is greedy charging people all this money for something that only costs them $x to make."
I am not accusing you of this, just linking this to statements and thoughts that often arise in this context. A very typical response to questions about why something costs what it does is, "It's just supply and demand. Econ 101." But it's not just Econ 101. Supply and Demand is covered in Econ 101, but economic activity is far more advanced than supply and demand. Brand perception, customer good will, supplier agreements, retailing agreements.. all of these are major factors in determine "what" the price of an item is when it appears on the shelf. This is the work of entire teams at companies as big as Sony.
When it works -- and it works in most of the situations you mentioned (spoiler alert: I work in this space) because it's designed to -- it's safer than using any physical controls at all.
I get that adoption of the half-ass solutions is frustrating. But if we are truly targeting a future where being able to manipulate car features is to be as safe as possible, voice is the best way to do that, at least until we have a solution to beam thoughts directly to the car's computer.
Besides which, people think in stories, and presenting just a list of facts isn't going to be read by anyone.
This is an excellent summary. I'll add: people like helping people. They like getting people jobs, they like seeing other people succeed, and they like mentoring people, even casually. Use that to your advantage, and don't forget to lend a hand to the next person on your way up the ladder.
I understand this concern and opinion. I just wish that people who had this opinion realized that their car has a very modern voice interface that can reliably understand commands for temperature changes.
I know, I know, it's not the buttons you're used to, and these systems used to be very bad. But give it a shot sometime. I was impressed with Tesla's implementation, and I imagine the rest of the industry has caught up too. The best part is, it's the safest method of all, because it doesn't require taking either your hands or your eyes off the road. So if safety is your jam (and it ought to be!), this is really the best solution.
This is the part of the story that OP needs to key in on.
OP: Network. Network Network Network. I've been at 2 FAANG in 7 years. I don't write code. I make good money. Friends got me jobs both times.
Do whatever you have to do to make friends with people in the industry where you want to work. Go to the bars they hang out in. Go to meet-ups. Go to lectures open to the public. Network on HN.
