Do they have any practical authority? Why don't people tell them to mind their own business?

It sounds like this problem exists even if it's your only home and you live there full time. Go out for the day, come home, and the kind of person they interview could have broken in, changed the locks, and there's nothing the law

Your quote proves the point. Got in trouble for talking about them as toys. I'm guessing you don't have much current military experience yourself.

> In modern hand to hand combat you don't use a sword Modern soldiers still carry, and sometimes use, bayonets, and in some regiments they literally call them 'swords'. And they don't look like this toy.

Clever humour at the right time is great. A dumb message while I'm trying to get on with my work or hobby isn't good humour or at the right time.

The British did a cavalry charge with swords as late as 1941. They were carrying the swords but I believe they weren't drawn unfortunately.

But they also have to do the repairs. When they make it harder they increase their costs.

> Maybe they'll add more than just 150 faculty housing units. Don't you think it's a bit dystopian for an employer to be housing its employees? Not sure that's what we should be aiming for.

Loss of sword makers is a global problem! There used to many sword makers you could get a sword from as an Army officer - now there's only a couple left.

Apple will do it for you. So this isn't an argument against repair - it may be an argument against repair by third parties if you want to suggest that? But then again why would Apple make a job that they have to do harder? Doesn&#x27

> The idea is that due to the special repair it will be costly enough But Apple has to replace the batteries and pay for it under their warranties, not you.

by chrisseaton 5y ago
This conspiracy theory doesn't even make any sense. Guess who has to replace these batteries? Apple. Why would they make it harder for themselves without a good reason.

Why would you want to have a hodge-podge of random vehicle makes to service?

Niche in that they only sell a hundred thousand or so a year, yes. If Waymo are planning to seriously scale up they'll be using every Jaguar they're making!

The legal community isn't interested in petty 'gotchas' like this. A judge would just apply a test of what a reasonable person (so not a HN user) would think and say that obviously this is fine why are you wasting their time

Why does Waymo use a niche British luxury car for their platform? Must be very expensive and what are the benefits?

What can people even do with that info though? You can’t compare universities as each course is different. So I guess you can compare two people at the same university? Not very useful is it.
