This question makes me wonder if you one shot each pelican or do you run it a few times to get the best one?

If you have advanced data protection enabled, Apple claims: “No one else can access your end-to-end encrypted data — not even Apple — and this data remains secure even in the case of a data breach in the cloud.”

How do you articulate a technical AI project to a Mark Zuckerberg sized audience? I'm anxious these posts will lack the detail I was looking forward to.

Anyone familiar with license plate rules in California? I haven't put a license plate on my car for 10 years. I've been given a "fix it" ticket, but nothing worse. Am I just getting nice officers or is that the full extent of what the officers can do? (The car is always registered with insurance)

"The plane was manufactured in 1987 and has been flown 454 hours and 24 Minutes of the estimated 5000 hours it is capable off."

Anyone know why there is a 5000 hour limit?

"We do not wish to cause undue alarm, so it is perhaps worth clarifying that:

The weld has not actually detached on any car There have been no customer complaints"

Hmmm, I know someone who had this fail and brought it back to Tesla with a complaint. She was told this would be the beginning of the first Tesla recall.
