One portion of rice and salad? That's the price for at least 1kg of rice and 2 heads of lettuce as far as I can see online, which state are you talking about?
I am annoyed waiting behind food stamp people at the grocery store making decisions between juice boxes and crackers at the checkout. Meanwhile I am too frugal to buy either of those.
My wife is treated like crap by Medicaid patients significantly more often than other patients.
There's a stigma that will exist regardless of the welfare state.
Same. Grew up generic middle class with frugal parents.
Too rich to get free money for college, too poor for my parents to have saved me anything. I was paycheck to paycheck for 3 years undergrad, and 3 years of wife's grad school.
Paycheck to paycheck doesn't even accurately define it. I didn't buy any luxuries like fast food or alcohol. Homemade everything.
You've created dozens of accounts, mostly to go on and on about Apple for some reason. It's not surprising that HN users would flag comments that are so predictable and ranty.
As for the mods: we don't care about $BigCo or "overlords", but definitely draw the line at single-purpose accounts and serial trolls.
Ford also has a hands free driving mode called Blue Cruise. It relies on highly accurate mapped roads as well as on-board sensors so it probably mostly works on just major highways. Still though, major highways are about the only time I'd really trust technology like this at the moment.
Well Tesla does it and their customers love waiting hours for software updates (I'm not being sarcastic, this is literally what we found through benchmarking)
I kept pleading that we don't have the marketing that Tesla has, our customers don't want to think about updates. Not to mention OTA costs money. Tesla can do it because they are sinking money and only have a few hundred thousand cars. My company sells millions of cars per year, OTA is significantly more expensive.
I'm not saying my company does OTA often, but the word Tesla cones up more often than it should.

I've done several OTAs on a Tesla. Most were about 1 month apart, and my longest update took 28 minutes. The average is closer to 15.

I won't get into whether they are sinking money, but they have about 1.6 million cars.
How does it work? Is it automatic during the night when the car is parked and you're asleep (that would be ideal) or does it updates when you start the car and would be ready to go (that would be a nightmare)? Maybe something in between.
You get an update prompt on screen (and on your phone). The car asks you to schedule a time to install (normally 1 AM) or allows you to update immediately.
When an update is triggered (manually or on a timer) you get a 2-minute countdown to restart and then it will install.
CPU hasn't been the limiting hardware in a decade. I think Intel stagnated because people have prioritized spending money on GPUs, memory, and SSDs.
Even when I'm writing an intensive program, I'm using multiple cores, so a single threaded benefit is useless to me.
I have a half a mind to think the m1 is a marketing gimmick because making a better processor was low hanging fruit that CPU companies aren't trying to compete on(outside of price).
This is completely false. You should stop propagating things you don't know about.
