We have different lifestyles, needs, and goals. I realize mine may be flawed but these are the opinions I have due to my personal experience. I am not trying to force anyone to share my lifestyle and I simply ask the same.

OK, I don't want a private company to be able to have any control over the starting over my car either. I didn't say we should ban these cars, I originally said that I don't think people realize how much freedom and privacy t

So what? People can choose to have connected vehicles if they want. I choose to avoid them and the newest gm vehicle I have owned was a 1997 Saturn. My personal choices and decisions are a product of my values and beliefs, and I intend on a

I sincerely doubt that my fiesta has either of those things, and it is a 2017. Yep, just as I thought it does not have ford's cellular or gps systems in it. I also have a 2004 f-250 that will likely outlive me, and it is completely tra

Nah, I will continue to buy disconnected vehicles for as long as possible since I chose to live in a rural area of the country, and I expect my machine to start when I tell it to. People that live in Chicago or New York choose to give up th

I don't really understand the connection to some sort of hypothetical situation about protesting in the street. My position is that I want my vehicle to start when I turn the key, and drive to where I take it. I think people are giving

Hmmm, I feel like this reply is making light of other's deaths. I was more talking about the ability to attend a protest. I believe in personal freedom, as well as personal responsibility.

I completely disagree, I cherish my personal freedom and will not be buying any connected vehicle for as long as possible because of that.

I think the personal freedom and privacy implications of self driving cars with centralized communication are rarely talked about. What happens when your vehicle decides you can't travel to an area of civil unrest (for your safety), or

I was surprised to see the names in this story because I went to elementary school with Dr. Dinter's daughter. Hibbing is not a large town and I feel for everyone involved. This is a very sad story.

My location history showed me as being on the strip in Las Vegas for 40 minutes while I was at google's Next conference in SF this year, which i found to be interesting. As far as I can tell my phone must have registered an SSID that c

I mean, the FCC does not really have a track record of enforcing violations. You could probably do whatever you want, until some hams fox hunt you and tell Uncle Sugar you are breaking the rules. Even then, the FCC is likely to only give yo

Well, I stand corrected. I had admittedly just googled it myself. I had known the ban on encryption was pretty accepted in the amateur radio community. Thanks for the correction.

This is a very cool project! I would be concerned about unintentionally running afoul of FCC regulations since encryption is not allowed on US amateur frequencies, that means using something like SSH or loading an SSL webpage with this mode

I believe people say that because by announcing your digital assets you are making yourself a target and raising the opportunity benefit of compromising your computer and/or web accounts.

I personally believe that social media may be one of the best use cases for blockchain technology. I think that each node "paying" for their account with some sort of resource usage could be sustainable, but I am not a blockchain

I agree that margin trading on Cryptocurrencies is extremely risky and not fully understood by the majority of people doing it. I am very anxious to see what will happen in the long term since so many people hopped on the bandwagon in the p

I have been following IOTA for a while now and while concept of IOTA is very neat, it appears that the community/leadership surrounding it are in shambles. The network is not really working unless you run a full node, and even then if

Almost all of the farms that I dealt with were incorporated.

by gonzoflip 9y ago
I think one of the issues is the farmers are conflating their incorporated farm's assets with their own.

I am not talking about a combine, I can understand the need for having your own combine during harvest. I am talking about a brand new fully optioned Peterbilt Semi-tractor, or buying a new pickup each year.

I have family that farms in Iowa and I also worked in the agriculture industry there for a while after leaving the military. One thing that increases the stress on the farmers is the way they avoid income taxes at all costs so they rarely
