so while its possible, Tesla is making changes that bring accident rates down. Everyone here is acting like its certain with absolutely no scientific evidence. Clearly by significantly more than they go up. Its stupid to come down on th

The NHTSA found a 40% crash rate reduction from Tesla's autopilot. I'd say thats what its good for.

The NHTSA found a 40% crash rate reduction from Tesla's autopilot. So how about you tell all the people who lives have been saved that you wish they hadn't been because you're an emotional reactionary

> What were the lawyers doing all that time before then? IT techs here have been training for GDPR for the four years since the law was first designed. wow, and people claim this won't just destroy totally innocent startups.

by wooter 8y ago
this is totally illogical and false with a basic understanding of economics. by definition the new startup is DOA without capital for compliance/proof of compliance/mandated features whereas the bigger business has capital.

not to mention that, historically and intrinsically, visiting a site or using someones application is a voluntary activity. no one is forcing the user to do anything and the user shouldn't be able to force the developers to do anything

many people disagree with preemptive, guilty until proven innocent regulation. many people also disagree with taxation in-so-far as they are not proportionate usage fees. And yes, certain regulations are definitely harmful. "But other

> I think the cost of not having this law is much higher. There is no way you could know this and every indication to the contrary. Many EU countries are struggling with jobs and claiming to want a tech sector. This just made it much les

the inability of gdpr advocates to assess or even acknowledge the true cost and negative consequences of this law is extremely unsettling. everything from "its completely easy to implement [even-though i'm not even referring to an

i'm sure cumulative energy use across all regulable devices is not insignificant. thats how government policy works.

by wooter 8y ago
yes. if you want that, you can only buy from a company that does it. if enough people agree, they'll all do it or fail. i don't abide by the 'its such a good idea, everyone must be forced to do it' mentality

no they didn't. it was self-reported abuses and no consequences.

great way to just have companies add an annoying, always on LED, that wastes energy to avoid lawsuits. how about we let the market regulate, as it is doing currently. did amazon respond faster than the government has on surveillance? yes. s

So it should be able to screw people not holding them? Or those who cant get a $1 Million dollar loan or pay 3k to drive a car? Car leases are easy at $150.

his fake offense on behalf of others is a faux pas. its a common term. we can't use "shit hole" because some people recently decided that was the case?

as a minority immigrant from a shithole country, i find this opinion condescending and racist. please use whatever adjective you would use for any other race - i don't need my sensitive minority ears protected by an up-to-the-minute ad

I dont see that connection at all. In fact, it is the 'benevolent' government that has abused surveillance, tried to corruptly enable large companies to censor the internet under the guise of 'anti-piracy' (SOPA), and pu
