Keeping the car in its lane is overrated. Any human who drives in snow knows the rules. If there are other cars around, center yourself with respect to them. If there are not, lanes are irrelevant. Even many narrow side streets in snowless

Unfortunately the current favored presidential candidate wants to make that situation illegal by raising the federal minimum wage to 12 or more.

A car driving around with no human inside poses less risk to human life than a car driving around with a human inside who is unable to control the car.

Of course not, but it's exacerbated by open source. Humans are indeed poison, which is why it's normal to involve as few humans as possible. Unfortunately AI is not sufficiently advanced so you still need some of them in order to

Yes, but it's very simple and very common to use a VPN to circumvent their block on voip services, whereas I do not know of a way to use a VPN to rape someone, so I went with what I found to be the more reasonable example.

Accessing Netflix is not a crime, so using a VPN to access netflix would not be. If you used a VPN in a different country to access Netflix in order to circumvent their licensing restrictions, it probably becomes a complex matter of interna

Using voip services like Skype is a crime. I would guess that is the main target of this law, since using VPNs to circumvent the present ban on such services is very common.

I didn't say it was not a problem, I said the headline was inaccurate and misleading, because it was, and that their other bad laws deserve more focus, because they do. If they only outlawed things that deserved to be criminalized, lik
