Just curious, why are you posting this? Is there a point you're trying to make?

For some reason shrimp which are essentially bugs are no problem because (I think) they come from the ocean, so there's an obvious mental line that can dissassociate them from other bugs.

Generally, we eat the innards, not the exoskeleton.

It's a bit misleading of a conclusion to make, because most of those changes likely aren't non-compatible changes.

For instance, maybe a chip goes out of manufacturing, and they can no longer get it supplied, but a successor product from the same supplier meets all the same requirements.

Perhaps a bracket goes out of manufacture, but an almost identical bracket is sourced from a different supplier.

This would qualify as a hardware modification, but is a non-breaking change.

We have a format for something like that — WebP. As a bonus, it's less processor-intensive, which makes it suited for things like tiling backgrounds, or embedding many of them on a page — a huge problem for MP4s that anyone who's enabled the on their services has no doubt already discovered.

"For instance, it does not allow to sequentially execute tasks: everything is done in parallel."

This is false. You can set perquisites for a task, which will be executed in sequence.

There are reports that this has already been solved.

Moreover:

Speaking a few weeks ago at the Q2 earnings call, Tesla Motors [NASDAQ:TSLA] CEO Elon Musk said that Tesla’s approach — replacing the drivetrain of affected cars under warranty at an estimated cost of $15,000 per case — was more about customer satisfaction than anything else. “Our optimization was customer happiness. And so we knew exactly what to do. We just wanted to give people their car back right away,” he said.

Extra awesome bonus point: When they were first testing their rockets, they used their submarine as a tow/tug for their launch platform. Yeah, these guys are crazy awesome.

Ten seconds seems like an incredibly liberal estimate. You need a pretty decent "margin of error" reserve. I'd wager we're looking at something more like 30-60s of fuel during the last stages of landing, at least. So let's call it something like 2-3% of the fuel.

"Hey, what if we designed our entire core game mechanic around a pun?"

Pretty much a full admission that everything that Julie said is true.

No, it isn't. It's standard operating procedure pretty much everywhere to put employees on leave while an investigation is conducted. It shouldn't be construed as an admission at all.

You are wrong in the sense that CSS uses 'color', and not 'font-color' to describe the color of text within an element.

You aren't wrong in the sense that CSS's choice of using 'color', and not 'font-color' is completely ridiculous, and breaks convention with CSS itself. I'm a front-end developer using CSS on a daily basis, and this has always bothered me.
