Because the " install security updates" phase from a year ago, is different than the " install security updates" today.
IT would also be different than
Install Windows, install security updates, snapshot VM, restore it each time, update security updates, use it
"Facebook's "apology" is nothing but a cynical attempt to stem public anger...the kind of anger that might cause governments to act against it."
lol no reasonable government will act over this
"Until an aggrieved party can access an appeal process in a reasonable time and get ridiculous situations like this taken care of promptly, Facebook remains an irresponsible gate-keeper, and its apology remains a fraud."
I agree Facebook is an irresponsible gate-keeper
"We'll leave for another day the fact that Facebook is inflicting its prissy, Puritanical standards on the rest of the world. And no, the argument that "you can always stop using it" doesn't apply.

Lol no it is not a monopoly, you are here are you not?
Anti-CFL luddites kill via pollution
Anti-Vaccine luddites kill via disease
Anti-Auto-Car luddites kill via car accidents.
It is always a problem. These people are always a problem.
"That was when (some) congress critters realized that when you tax a company, the customers, not the company, pays the tax."
Factually incorrect. Econ 102 (Not 101) Taxes will distort the market. Both the company and the consumer will pay part of the tax. The breakdown % depends on how elastic supply and demand is.
You are wrong. Period. People who are much more intelligent, with much more expertise, and have been communally appointed to decide (all three are important in their own way) have declared you are incorrect. You have no recourse, you are wrong.
What you did was restate a simplified/broken version Tesla's publicly stated strategy and phrase it like you uncovered a big secret. Tesla has repeatedly stated that the goal of their current vehicles is not to make a profit but to act as a proving ground for the development of the manufacturing infrastructure. Electric vehicles suffer from a major lack of economics of scale. Thus to make competitive vehicles they sell them for little to no margin. Once scale is achieved Tesla's goal is to be able produce higher value for lower cost vehicles than the equivalent ICE. This will eat into the economics of scale with ICEs and thus destroy their ability to be competitive. Resulting in ONLY electric's being viable consumer vehicles. This strategy is why investors poured billions into them.
Once "6G" come out. The cost (both reasonable and excess due to their own mismanagement) of upgrading physical cable will make them unable to compete in a few technological generations. I cant wait for the day when I piss on their corporate grave.
Even if 100% true making a choice to override military commanders is not an indictable offense (even if wrong in the end). Hell that's actually the exact reason why we have civilians in charge (to override commanders for non military reasons). If that statement is correctly attributed to him that's a shame on him. It is just a stupid statement.
If you cant tell the difference between infrastructure and the technology IP used to create it. You are an absolute idiot.
Anyone can steal technology it is what it is, what you cant do is steal trillions of dollars of infrastructure. Its just physically impossible The use military strategically planned for critical elements of the internet's infrastructure to be located within the U.S. for the explicit reason of maintaining control despite jackasses from elsewhere whining.
Literally go build the internet over again. Try. I dare you. I don't give a fuck whatever nation you are part of. Hell even the whole EU could try and no one would give a slightest fuck. Your idea of internet freedom simply does not matter. You do not control it and do not have enough influence to create a new one. So your opinion is worthless.
You make up numbers and claim that everyone agrees with you. But then again even if they were true. They do not matter. Its our internet not yours. We invented it, We built it out and the rest of the world latched on. If you want your own make it yourself. No one will use it.
Speed bumbs are designed to "save lives". Which is ironic because they cost far more than they save. What happens when an ambulance either needs to slow down or re-route because of speed bumps? People die. Or that was at least what I've been "told" by semi informed individuals
So what? Did you not at least read the post you are responding to? The OP clearly spelled it out for you. Even if you are obviously lying about doing something about it you'll gain a lot of supporters. (Hint he is lying, but its better than nothing on the topic)
If you take the gun from John Wilkes Booth and give it to a another person. Abraham Lincoln is not alive because of that unknown person, If you want to argue a pure logical statement (both of us would be correct) and ignore the realities of different orders of magnitude of responsibility ill gladly sit here and troll you.
"Are you speaking for every vehicle consumer in the world?" Yes obviously.
"My understanding is that roads are mainly funded by fuel taxes" Partially for maintenance, Capital costs which are the bulk of the costs were mainly sponsored by general gov liabilities. Subsidies by economics of scale.
The only reason why gas stations or the production of ICE's is economically viable is due to the massive economics of scale.Its taken me too long to pull up articles referring to the economics of scale of ICE's so I will mearly cite myself. (the internet is now clouded with references to the economics of scale for electric engines).
Gas stations operate on razor sharp margins. As soon as the market for ICE's is even 5% displaced you will see a massive pullback in gas station penetration .
Picture it as a massive technological hysteresis
Long story short. 50 years ago ICE's would win ~10 years ago ICE's only won due to economics of scale. ~7 +-2 years from now ICE's will see their economics of scales vaporize over night and instead by replace by economics of scale for electrics causing. Causing a massive price spike in ICE's and a massive price reduction in electrics thus causing a complete capitalization of the ICE market.
Its a classic technology adoption curve. Nothing too fancy.
You are missing a point. Interstate travel simply does not matter to many many (my estimation the large majority of people). They fly, they take a bus they take a train. The same with towing. Electric cars will not be all things to all people and that does not matter. The dude who needs to tow his boat long distance can go screw himself, he will have to pay double in a few years as others (via economics of scale) are subsidizing him. Collectively we are sick and tiered of paying for features (massive towing capacity and huge ranges on vehicles) that people neither want nor need.
If you are driving more than 5 hours a day. You are doing it wrong. That is why we have rail,flight, and buses for. You like to tow things as well ? Good for you. The honest truth is you are part of a tiny economic minority. Those things simply do not matter to the vast majority of people. Right now you can do those things because the rest of us plebeians are subsidizing as massive infrastructure. In a few years your costs are going to skyrocket and people move to method that fit their needs instead of yours. You dont sound like you are uniformed, you just seem like you assumed your problems impact enough people to have barrier effect on technology adoption. They just don't .
This actually seems like the most fair response possible. The passenger next to him was an idiot but the airline having a chat with him is the most reasonable response to said idiot. .
Slashdot Mirror
1) The EU targets a US company but the US deems their behavior acceptable
2) The EU targets a US company but lets similar behavior by non-US companies slide.
The former is the most common issue.

As such I doubt that anyone would consider this an unfair targeting of VW.

It is all well and good to bring fiber to rural communities but you got to at least be honest that you are not hitting cities yet.
I like the surface, but this is as much as a slashvertisement as I have ever seen.

The deathtrap is when humans can control that. If you get into a human operated car then you are insane.

No. But I do think there would be roughly the same number at 10-50%. Just because there is a reaction does not mean it is a straight line .

It turned out better because George Lucas is no longer part of the process. You could have stuck about any ass clown in charge and done a better job.

This is the first thing that popped into my head, Additionally it is a rather large market if successful.
