Meaning anyone who manages to successfully hack their Tesla will be well more qualified than we require to be permitted to work on a safety critical automotive system. My point exactly.
Where I grew up, seeing a Mustang or Nova with steam pouring out of it was a common sight. The owners either forgot or never knew that if you increase engine output, you need more cooling. They tended to have stock brakes.
Any teen is free to DIY their brakes. It's even fairly common because guess who is more likely to have some free time than they are to have enough money to pay a mechanic?
There's no question that it works. The vaccine itself operates under the same principle. However, the vaccine carries less risk than the disease itself while providing the immune system with the same training.
OP is questioning the wisdom of providing a much riskier form of vaccine in order to avoid a vaccine. It might make sense if the parents were seeking out cowpox, but that's not what they do.
They seek out actual measles.
It even made sense for chickenpox where most of the risks only happen if you get it as an adult. It made sense to make sure you got it as a child when the risks were low.
Exactly. They designed it to be like crack for corporations in their continuing quest for a monopoly. Surprise, we now have corporations acting like crack addicts.
The thing is, they didn't JUST offer their products like crack, first hit is free. They actively worked to introduce their product by stealth (like a dealer dosing peoples drinks in the bar) by obscuring the line between open standards and MS proprietary extensions.
I an many other IT professionals tried to warn them, but we were dismissed as overly paranoid.
Well, if it adds no value, turn it off. Really, just sell all the PCs off and pass out pens and paper. It added no value so I'm sure it'll be just fine. Right?
Actually, the best single predictor of wealth in the U.S. is the wealth of your parents. There's a lot of people doing back breaking labor for minimum wage and a few people putting in a "hard day" at the golf course for millions a year (and I don't mean pro golfers who may actually have to work at it).
In most rags to riches stories, the rags turn out to be Gucci.
Yeah, I actually sat on the connection exception review team. Still took a long while to get through the process.
And that's why it gets bypassed. By the time it gets through the process, the project is dead and half the department is laid off. It's a little like picking through the smoldering ruins of a crashed jetliner and telling the barely conscious pilot "yeah, go ahead and make an emergency landing if you think it's necessary.
I'm not advocating lax security, just explaining how and why it happens. It's easier to get employees and their managers to go along with necessary security when it's reasonable AND responsive.
"Insane" seems a bit strong. Self-harm is a matter of degrees and the social acceptability is as well. For example, many things that start with "hold my beer".. Having an affair isn't likely to lead to a happy stable life.
Of course, society's duty to adults is less than its duty to minors.
That likely happens as well. That's what makes this so very far from a no-brainer. We must also consider the effects when a troubled teen reaches out for connections and possibly cries for help and gets summarily deleted (effectively told "shut up, you're unacceptable!").
Deleting the images feels like a positive step on first blush, but I think it requires a good bit of thought and research to make sure it's not doing more harm than good. It's a hard problem and I don't claim to have all the answers.
Apparently you don't. I am well aware that a great deal of sophistry has grown up around violations of the Constitution. I simply don't buy in to it.
You've painted yourself into a corner and so you are now left with only bald assertions and misquotes of the law. For some odd reason you are supporting imprisoning someone based on no evidence whatsoever and with no jury in sight.
You claim that forgetting and malfunctions are so unlikely as to be beyond reasonable doubt. I pointed out that people do forget all the time, and malfunctions at particularly good and particularly bad times happen all the time. So you switched to bald claims that I don't know the law.
The problem you're having is the root sophistry that somehow disclosing a password doesn't constitute testimony and so compelled disclosure isn't a violation of the Bill of rights. It's a non-starter.
The rest is just Rube Goldberg like workarounds in the same spirit as the crazy elaborate purported perpetual motion machines ("let's see if you can find the fundamental violation of the laws of physics NOW").
Get it through YOUR skull. He didn't win the popular vote PERIOD. That means he has no popular mandate PERIOD. You can coulda, woulda, shoulda all you want but he DIDN'T. The majority of people voting for President voted for someone else. That is not even in controversy. They heard him speak, they heard his platform and ideas, and they said NO! Not just no, they were adamant enough to hold their noses and vote for Hillary instead.
There is this thing called a popular mandate (sometimes public mandate or voter mandate, please look it up before replying). He don't got it. Sophistry won't help. Please join us back here in realityland.

So imagine how much less adequate they were after the engine got a power boost!
Just like I want my light on for free. There exists a switch. It's mine, I paid for it. I expect to be allowed to flip it.
Where I grew up, seeing a Mustang or Nova with steam pouring out of it was a common sight. The owners either forgot or never knew that if you increase engine output, you need more cooling. They tended to have stock brakes.
And so, your honor, we're absolutely certain the brake failure was caused by the pine tree air freshener hanging on the rear view mirror.

You don't have to present any sort of certificate of mastery to the guy at the parts counter.
Do you pay your electrician a monthly fee to come over and turn your living room light on for you at sunset?
If you don't weigh potential lock in and future availability problems as part of your tech recommendations you are a quack.

That sounds exactly like those people who don't personally like alcohol so they figure nobody else should have it either.
It's fine to not actively support IE6 users but there's no need to be an asshole about it.

Hydrogen is much harder to transport and store.
We keep hearing about people making prosthetics for hundreds of dollars that outperform the "official" ones that cost thousands.

Not all VPN services are friendly. Make sure you're not jumping out of the frying pan into the fire.

I'm not arguing who got elected. I am refuting claims that Trump enjoys a majority of public support.
