This alone doesn't outweigh all of the negative uses, but I would argue that it's reasonable and legitimate.

Disclaimer: I'm just the messenger here so you might hate what follows, the community is choosing the words.

Concurrency as a keyword is increasingly being used to differentiate single-threaded event handling from parallel processing (threads). As long as event handling is quick enough, it can give the illusion of parallel processing. And in some cases it can outperform parallel processing because the cost of context switching between events can be lower than context switching between threads. See https://medium.com/@caophuc799/nginx-architecture-and-why-ca...

The async keyword, in practice, simplifies the callback boilerplate required to handle the event model. When used in communication, async is increasingly being used as a word to describe "Single-threaded Concurrent Functions Built On Hidden Event Handling", because there is no succinct way of saying STCFBOHEH in English.

So: JS has async/STCFBOHEH/context-switching on its functions by default whereas Java's functions are (by default) executed in order without async/STCFBOHEH/context-switching.

Perhaps the BT connection bridged the device to the internet, but we have no indication of that and the internet was used as the vector. It could have been a local wireless software update interface so maintenance doesn't have to open up each pump to apply the patch.

Also, you have an amazing website. Looking forward to reading more.

    That correlation holds up after controlling for all sorts of other dietary and
    physical variables (weight, age, gender, known cardiovascular risk factors,
    and more).

Granted, this is one anecdotal case. But when spending over 100K on a car, features like this should be bullet-proof.

Actually ... scratch that. Features like this should be bullet-proof because they have been a solved problem for ~50+ years. Tesla is sacrificing safety for minimal cost savings and/or style points.
