Legally, "Pink Ferrari owners" are not a protected class, and Ferrari's legally in the clear here. Morally... I dunno. Telling a customer they're not worth the headache is something I'm generally on the side of, so

Ferrari's done this for... I don't know how long. Hilton bought one, she owned it, and she painted it pink. That's all legal. Then Ferrari fired her as a customer - also legal. You missed out on the more egregious (IMO) point

Cheaper to operate and mission-fit (debatable) is one thing, but the real question is: "Would this have happened without the US president's antics?"

No, but it's a fun line for any automotive or other old-industry workers to throw at programmers, as they were the ones promised re-training in industries they would have to start from the bottom in.

Hey, at least this isn't a comment section about the states, which rate safety based on how the driver fares in a collision! Which would mean the people least likely to be hurt are the ones that are trying to cheat the tax, and the one

I mean sure, it's not perfectly, 100% fair, but do you have a better plan , or just complaints? Because rural populations seem to want to have their cake and eat it too - living in a rural area to save money and have additional space,

Advertising slightly heavier traffic isn't the worst thing in the world. Telling hundreds of motorists "There's a navigable road here" when there isn't, is a bigger problem, for both Apple's PR team, and the mo

Instead of comparing AI to any other tool, especially one closer to "useful with a computer", the common comparison is always a weapon of some kind. If the design of tools are neutral, one tool should do as well as another in this

My larger point is that nobody - nobody - defaults to telling us the coffee mug is unregulated, as AI allegedly ought to be. They always compare it to something much more commonly used as a weapon; something that, when asked to name a hou

The tools we use are not neutral. A sword can be made to work like an axe, but we use axes for chopping wood because a sword makes a shitty axe. A sword is designed to kill people. The handle, the mass, the weight distribution, and every
