Crappy, lazy coders needed to undermine the entirety of industrialized society. Must be willing to kowtow to clueless, incompetent managers to ensure all life or death controls are as simplistic as a coloring book and as secure as an unlocked screen door.
In the minus column of autonomous vehicles and car trains is this: the death of the freedom of travel (sans real-time monitoring). This will rapidly become mandatory, even for current cars via a module plugged into the OBD2 port. The insurance companies want it to more efficiently deny claims (and raise rates in real time) and John Law wants it as he despises privacy above all else.
Just like a free lunch, there ain't no such thing as a care-free autonomous car.
Obviously, the 5% knocked up were impure and secretly 'wanted it'.
Twenty-first century and straight-up hatred of women is still a common bedrock of most belief systems. The fact that is seems to be on the increase in the supposedly enlightened Western world sickens me and fills me with despair.
An emergency that takes out cell phone towers / antennas, but leaves the electrical power infrastructure intact to power said routers? Sounds like a rare emergency indeed. I suppose if all your electrics are subterranean, maybe a wind storm sans water would fall into this category. Maybe.
I think that is the biggest difference between the US and the rest of the 1st / 2nd world: USians want an ironclad guarantee of a perfect health outcome or they will sue, sue, sue. OB-Gyns in the US have to pay an incredibly massive amount of malpractice insurance and many still end up quitting due to the helicopter parents in waiting. Nothing is guaranteed, but USians refuse to accept reality.
We can do this. We have the technology, we have the scientists, we have the engineers.
We also have the corporations, dedicated to cutting every corner for a golden parachute reward - along with bought and paid for politicians that have their back when (not if) something goes wrong due to their craven desires (see: Wall Street banks).
The death of US manufacturing has been greatly exaggerated.
If you follow the supply chain down, you start to hit China pretty quickly: seamless steel tubing, castings, bushings, bearings, more and more seals... Problem is, they are relentlessly climbing up that supply chain to such an extent, that our 'manufacturers' become more 'assemblers' (such as the Google a/v widget). Caltrans is saving millions on a new bridge... by buying most of the subassembly weldments from China.
Just has already happened in the food industry, more and more weasel words and definitions are being applied to US 'manufacturing' to put more money in the pockets of corporations all the while waving their American flags (probably also made in China).
Having McAfee running anything on your car will, at minimum, will add 3 seconds to your acceration times, and knock 5 mpg off your milage. You will also have to run the A/C more to offset the extra heat load on the CPU. Plus, about every fifth update, it will kill your car so dead, you will have to call AAA for a tow.
Comcast is not a free market. It is a natural monopoly and just like the electric, natural gas, water, and sewer monopolies needs to be regulated.
The main thing that keeps a lot of people wedded to cable TV is the also the principal driver of endless spiraling costs: SPORTS. Whether pro leagues or the silliness of March Madness ('student' athletes, my wide ass), or possibly worst of all: SEC football, they are the monopolies that need regulated - along with their co-conspirators ESPN and CBS Sports. The modern day Opiate of the Masses; make it a Class A drug.
"And we would all like to thank the fine fellow who broght us this find... a Mr. Igor.. what? that's his first name? Well find out his sirname, my good man!"
Running on or exposing industrial software to the Internet in any way, shape, or form should be an automatic 20-year stay in PMITA prison. Stop putting the laziness of PHB ingrates ahead of common sense and safety.
Fighting and competing over publishing literal scraps of the newest Apple widget. Blury cell phone picks, plastered with watermarks like a NASCAR event... How absolutely devoid of meaning does your life have to be for you to have any interest in the nuances of a fucking I/O port?
What a captivatingly sharp image of a walled garden topped with razor wire! Look at it glisten in the sunlight coming through the walls of our crystal cathedral!
I would bet crooked (as if there are any other kind) daytraders. 1. Buy up oil futures. 2. Release your malware and let the news cycle gin up oil prices. 3. Profit!!

"The license will only validate on computers with UEFI activated by a Microsoft key."
Just kidding (?)
the closing arguements would be given by Lionel Hutz and the Space Chicken lawyer.

Some people also watch network TV, due to the same basic reason.

Only spy on US white males, given their murderous track record.
Such as selling each other mobile phone contracts, or asking paper or plastic, or would we like to super-size those fries.

Not exactly plagiarism, but Patton Oswalt already did a chunk on this a few years ago.

And all too soon, US broadband will be just like cable TV: corporatized, regulated for morals, bundled, overpriced, and no real freedom whatsoever.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off comes to mind: "I'm a professional."
