Or, through government legislation, you're only allowed to take your alcohol sensor to an authorized dealer to get it maintenanced, _AND_ you'll have to pay to get it calibrated!

I tell my car how it drives. Not a computer. I don't want a computer making the decision as to whether I can drive the car I paid for or not. Maybe when society finally makes its final swirl down the toilet and we're finally not a

Makes sense. I guess 'lower' prestige publications just are reporting on what they can with as much info they can glean from some google searches/staff on hand. :)

I love how the author of the article included a picture of a truck with a red circle surrounding the trailer connection plug - which has nothing to do with OBD2 connectivity - the technology the thieves are using to reprogram vehicles. Why

> I know Germany has a mixed system but it seems to me that socialized medicine keeping costs down slowly erodes care. You can see this happening in Canada too. We have a hybrid system in healthcare where the majority of critical care is

When you can prove in a court of law that person "x" infected person "y" at "Z" date/time - then you can say this with even a minimal level of confidence. Don't want to get sick? Order groceries onlin

This is the same thing as trying to punish or denigrate people for the actions their (likely unrelated!) ancestors have done. Look forward, not backwards.

(using the US as an example) People "tightened their belt" during WWII because they had their sons conscripted by the government to go fight in the war. Some people never saw their fathers or sons ever again once they left the tra

It's absolutely insane that people can't see the forest for the trees. The western world has some of the lowest carbon output globally (no "per capita" stats please, we're looking at "% of global carbon output&

I think a lot of people thought the allegations were real. You only need to look at how hard the media was pushing the article. You know the old belief that "if you think it's true or are told it's true long enough, it'l

One only has to look at who and what owns these massive media conglomerates to realize these companies don't have our best interests at heart. They're all owned by massive, money-making individuals/corporations who just exist

I think that's a big downside of the internet compared to traditional media. It's so easy to just remove anything after the fact without any accountability. Don't worry, it's just WaPo rewriting history instead of issuin

They're removing dislikes because of a multitude of reasons, from my own thought. 1. Movie companies don't like releasing trailers and seeing their dislike numbers reaching orbit. 2. The current US administration doesn't like

If I would posit a guess - Likely purely because they want to limit corporate liability in case any one of the split companies opens themselves up to massive legal cases/liability. Also, going into Energy/Infrastructure businesses

Man, if amazon was telling them to just throw the packages out, I'd be inclined to bring them up to my suite and flip whatever's in them for profit. Amazon clearly has no interest in delivering them and have already deemed them &q

An infrastructure bill that has rider clauses in it that have nothing to do with infrastructure? Color me shocked! Why a bill that's worth 1 trillion dollars is allowed to even be signed in the first place should be abhorrent to anybod

You're not supposed to ask those types of questions - you're not a scientist. Leave the health mandates and questions to the scientists that we trust to lead us through the pandemic.

It's all about that magical word that's 7 letters long... Safety. People want to be safe, and the governments obliging them. You can't be in danger if you don't leave your house right? Edit: I can't count apparently

On the contrary - If you have an incremental backup that goes as far back as say 14 days for example. No separate archived snapshots, etc. If you infiltrate the network and figure out this crucial bit of info - you just wait 14 days while y

I think it does matter. If it's expensive - we'll have government printing more money to afford the pill, like they've been doing for the vaccine, and the general populace for the past 2 years. But the vaccine is free! Yep...

That sounds like a bunch of very wishy-washy vague terms that open source licenses shouldn't implement. You're going to get a lot of companies that don't want to deal with the legal hassle of these special terms not contribut

I think the climate crisis will cause new companies to emerge and make technologies and ideas to harvest these minerals that are now unavailable with current technologies. Coincidentally, it's going to be deep-water oil drilling that h

This is what I don't understand. Why can't legislators be proactive when it comes to protecting voting rights? We don't need to see any evidence of fraud to ensure the safety of voting rights.

I understand that the law requires you to broadcast unencrypted communications - but what happens if you don't and use it for long-distance SSH or something? Who would respond? I'm genuinely curious - I recall a long time ago hear

I find it very hard to support that much spending when they haven't even figured out where they're going to get the money from. Quit layering more laws on top of other laws. Review the current system because it's _obvious_ it
