@Polygeekery And probably all that data is still available on their servers, just waiting for someone to crawl in and slurp it up. Linking it to people is trivial, since you have their entire driving history for a long time.
There's no way to tie it to an individual; it could be any Tesla owner who happens to park his car at 27 Shady Oak Drive every night.

RE: "Hacking" Teenager in trouble - for downloading public documents

Or to scan your unlocked car for later 3D printing?
That sounds suspiciously like downloading a car, an act so heinous that even DVD pirates wouldn't do it.

RE: OOP is TRWTF
Some might disagree with me, but the truth is that modern OOP has never been properly designed. It never came out of a proper research institution (in contrast with Haskell/FP). I do not consider Xerox or another enterprise to be a “proper research institution”. OOP doesn’t have decades of rigorous scientific research to back it up. Lambda calculus offers a complete theoretical foundation for Functional Programming. OOP has nothing to match that. OOP mainly “just happened”.
An organic development that wasn't "properly designed" at a research institute? *drops monocle in shock*

RE: Driving Anti-Patterns - Necro Edition

I'm also wondering about how to optimise that (filed under: engineers keeping themselves busy...), because this slow-but-continuous mode means I'm never stopped and thus stop & start never gets an opportunity to kick in.
You've found the optimal way already

But then! After having passed me, he decides to go back in lane, just in front of me. And stays there for the rest of the congestion. So apparently I was somehow driving in such an insufferable manner that he had to break the law just for me.
Of course, he's got places to be! You think he should be 7/10 of a second late?

RE: The Official Status Thread
Status: Tinkering with another crappy device.
I bought a Chinese car stereo for a very low price, and am now trying to figure out if I can turn it into something other than the POS it currently is. Its front panel looks very generic, visually the same as 628376482 identical no-name Chinese POS units available for sale. The software info, external labelling and main CPU are similarly unhelpful regarding any specifics - the closest I've found is other people's unanswered posts on XDA Forums and Russian sites looking for firmware updates or any information about similar Chinese POS. But if by some miracle I can get/make custom firmware for this thing it could theoretically be good, as it seems to have decent hardware held back by absolute dogshit software. If I can get even an early version of Android on it (commonly cited limitations for similar POS seem to be Android 6) I think I could work with that.
