You're saying if you wandered into an FTP site with 22,000 private medical records you would feel like you were supposed to be there? In certain cases I would be inclined to believe you, and so would a judge. In this case I wouldn't. It's not something that is supposed to be public. I'd expect a judge would also want to know why you were there and what purpose you thought you had.
The freedom to be able to drive long distances without having to stop 1/2 hour or more for refueling, and not having to plan your trip carefully so that the places you stop have electrical charging stations. Also I'd be concerned that the stations would be occupied when I got there causing an even longer delay.
Well that really depends if the intention was for the public to see these 22,000 records or not. If that wasn't the intent and you are in there, then you are doing something wrong whether you will get caught at it or not. It doesn't matter if you get caught or not.
Basically my case has always been... I drive a small amount every day, but if I'm paying that much for a vehicle I want to be able to drive more if I want to. It just seems to be a big amount of freedom to give up.
The risk of getting caught is the only thing that keeps people from helping themselves. Not all people, but enough. If the access is almost anonymous, it's beside the point whether it is allowed or not; people will do what people do.
I agree. A better analogy is that a bank opens their vault, assures a room of two million people that they are not being watched, and then simply leaves them to do whatever they want. They aren't allowed to take the money, but human nature is what it is.
Ok no one mentioned that you could set it to 80% automatically, or I missed it. I was just picturing myself awake at 3am because I felt my battery was at 79%. Of course now I may be more stressed when I drive it because I'll hurt my battery if I use more than 60% of the capacity between 20% and 80%. When people bring up numbers such as 250 miles of driving on one charge, presumably that is 100% of the battery.
You seem to miss the point. I was responding to a comment that you can't just simply plug it in overnight... that you need to be concerned about it daily in how you charge it. I'm not concerned about my ICE daily. I check the oil once every few weeks, that's it.
Tesla recommends charging it to about 80% for daily use, and not running below 20%
And when I ask people about EVs they say it is as simple as plugging it in at night and drive it the next morning. Think you for educating me otherwise. I won't ever want a car I have to pamper.
I've been trying out Elementary OS and it seems pretty spectacular so far. Much smother then any linux I have seen in awhile. Just thought I would mention it.
So Apple is the only company allowed to take advantage of people who want the super best model now? Lenovo is only doing what Apple is doing. It's called competition. I'd say Apple pretty much pioneered the way in artificially high prices and now other companies are following suit.
The difference is, you could price out a lenovo with those specs that beat the pants off of Apple's price. Maybe you really need a Carbon but I doubt it. A lot of people have in mind work they want to get done and buy a machine that does that work, rather than looking for the premium model.
My point is, schools should be driven only by what is good for kids. We may not always agree with what they do, but as long as they can point to a well thought out reason why an activity is good for kids then that should be the determining factor. In this case I'm not convinced it is terribly well thought out in an impartial manner since there are a lot better and more realistic employment opportunities than coding right now. Yes, coding uses a type of critical thinking skill, but those skills are just simple logic which aren't necessarily attached to the practice of coding at all. Most of this critical thinking is already covered by mathematics (use of variables). Add a session of logical constructs to mathematics lessons and you have all those critical thinking skills anyway.

Checking the fuel gauge when you're not in the car.. that IS a pain.

Are you that confident that someone accessing anonymous FTP would get caught? Because that's really the point. It's a risk-reward calculation.

The jury is still out on whether pressing the shift lever button twice as you exit the car can really be condidered 'F'ing U'.
Mechanical functionality is something industries have been pretty much on top of for 30 years. Software functionality.... not so much.

What happened before having to prove your products are safe before putting them on the damn market? People have a certain right to safety.

Not sure why I got modded down. People don't understand the difference between beauty/convenience and basic requirement?

What makes you think I would invite spending more money, when I'm already trying to make a second vehicle last as long as possible?
You can't go to a store and buy an 8-track any more, but nice try.
I don't watch sports and I'm fine.
I saw a guy pushing a broom in a hospital the other day and I found myself jealous of his job.

We have become a technology driven society. As an app developer, I need these devices for my job. Many people need these for their lives.
Sure, so perhaps code.org should be going through parents and not the schools at all. Or are we thinking all parents should be home schooling now?
