It's a business model thing, which seems to supplant law these days. Can't meter P2P. Intermediation to prevent usurpation of network effects is the name of the game in the modern day. No one will say that, but it's the quiet

No shit. All data brokery is a poison pill to justify itself. Until you illegalize the entire damn endeavor, it'll find a way to justify it's own existence through malicious compliance.

When a government demands people to have more kids to maintain it's inertia; whether it be U.S., China, or anywhere else, I can only say that the plot is completely lost, and said civic edifice deserves the collapse or be reformed thro

These are the same types who have poisoned the well of information that was the Internet you can actually find things on for the sake of the ad driven model. Far as I'm concerned, the moral injuries are the same even if the physical de

If they will be treated as organized criminals anyway, why not just say fuck it and organize? Everybody pitch in and get some melee experience. Let the civil disobedience commence.

Most of the cretins here are perfectly content with the status quo. Only reason I hang around is to keep a finger on the dystopian wet dream of the week and to occasionally pour ice water in the worst of them, or shake the hornet's nes

I weep my country seems completely antithetical to such thinking as this Shinise seems to represent. I'll have to do some reading into it. Thank you for sharing it.

A "peaceful society" that reserves the right to enslave a part of itself doesn't sound very peaceful to me.

I think if the punishment for speeding was life in prison, the entire system would be in such a shambles what would make sense is burning the entire country down. Your assertion is not the slam dunk you think it is.

Then there is something wrong with our legal system if only one portion of the population seems to be able to avail themselves of contracts. Seems like a failure of the entire legal apparatus. No more ToS.

It really isn't followed through on as often as you think, and since Citizen's United, the typical candidate tends to chase the donations of people who think tolls are a grand idea. Not so much the rest of the working stiffs. Inst

Tesla doesn't need to scale. It needs to recover from the damage Musk himself did to it. If he truly valued it, he'd get as far away from it as possible and let it attain it's own identity separated from the Musk personality

Well, I'd do a guess and say at least since the Congressional Office of Technology Assessment got deep-sixed back in the 95. Either that or they never had them.

Nevertheless, as long as everyone else optimizes to the same metrics (minimized Bill of Materials, and building for assembly, not service), it may not be great, but it undeniably works. Wanna start a car company?

What makes you think QA/QC is paid handsomely? It's a bloody cost center mate, and you can't measure "damage prevented" consistently, or at least in a way most high-risk tolerating exec types won't immediately

No, it bloody well isn't, and I kindly request you stop with that nonsense. Remote start is a glorified CAN message paired with either a TOTP or HOTP message. That's it. There should be zero room for a manufacturer to justify inse
