The.NET Framework is kept constantly up to date by Windows Update. It might be nice if Java was a Windows "Feature"
Perhaps you have forgotten history. Microsoft had a JVM. Then they did weird stuff to it which was not quite compatible with other JVMs, and they still wanted to call it "Java". They got sued and lost, and they could no longer play their Embrace-Extend-Extinguish game with Java, so they invented.NET to compete with Java instead. Sun went down the toilet bowl, and Oracle hasn't really even tried to keep Java current, so now.NET beats Java like a piece of meat.
There are a couple problems though. The concept of right to repair also has an implicit technology freeze within it.
There are details to be worked out, but there's nothing inherently wrong with the plan.
most designers have horror stories about how a ready to to go to production device was screwed by a manufacturer that suddenly stopped making some of the IC's.
It's up to the manufacturers how they want to solve the problem, within reasonable limits. Maybe they have to pay more for a contract that says the parts must be available for the full product lifecycle. But if literally everyone has to do it, then there will be no competitive disadvantage.
Tesla makes cars for the rich, sure. But it has also revolutionized the industry by creating the first production electric car that wasn't a glorified golf cart.
You forgot the Toyota RAV4 EV. Not much range, but otherwise highly credible, and owners adore them.
You miss hey!'s point.... NONE of these fuckers started seriously caring about making electric cars until Tesla came on the scene.
I didn't miss it, both because I know it already, and because he didn't make it. I'm speaking to a specific claim which was clearly and obviously false.
The truth is that Musk launched Tesla at the time when the battery technology would support the vehicle at a level of quality which was acceptable to people with lots of money, which is why the Tesla Roadster (is it just me or is it shitty to reuse that name for a dramatically different vehicle?) was a success, and why it could lead to the further success of the Model S. That's much better timing than any prior automaker had. If it wasn't Tesla, though, it would have been someone else, because the technology was finally there.
I educated myself with WP before posting. Naturally, I'm not going to watch your video. Do you actually find people who do what you say? Sad fucks, if you do, but not as sad as you.

What Tesla has done is made the first EV that the masses want to buy, and then actually gone on to sell them to a lot of people. Most RAV4 EVs were leased, all GM EV-1s were leased... But this is not a trivial achievement, especially given that Tesla is a brand new automaker.
The reason you have never heard of it is because you Musk zealots only "know" about things that Musk does. You aren't interested in science, or technology. You just worship the P.T. Barnum of the tech world.
From what I can tell, Blue Origin had the first flight, but SpaceX had the first useful flight. Kind of like how GM had the first modern EV, and Toyota made the first one that normal people wanted to buy but only produced it in small numbers, but Tesla made the first one many people wanted to buy (and actually sold it.) I'd compare Elon Musk to Steve Jobs, except he'd probably be smart enough to get cancer treated if he had it.
Most of the time, Mr. Musk's cunning plans overlook some aspect and in the end they either fall very short on the original expectation or don't work at all.
What? Name one major project which has failed. What actually happens is that they are all late, but that's very different from the never that you claim. And you know what they say about late and never.
And if they work, liek the tunnels, they end up being about the same as those made by others.
The tunnels are just tunnels. They're not meant to be different from other tunnels, they're meant to be cheaper and faster. They already are (slightly) and the next borer will be much better.
In engineering there are very few overlooked secrets to revolutionise things like Mr. Musk always twitters. Fortunately most engineers aren't the fumbling dolts he thinks they are.
Absolutely nothing Musk has done has been a new idea. All of it has just been him deciding to bankroll things which nobody else seems to want to pay for. So really, nobody but you thinks that Musk is trying to trade on overlooked secrets. He's rather taking ignored opportunities.
Probably this is just another case of dangerous half-knowledge - as usual.
It isn't irrelevant. There are companies like Enron out there right now.
That doesn't explain what anyone would want to do with the data from the Enron case. If you're trying to make a case against another corporation, you're going to need data about THEIR activities, not Enron's.
Because any thought that Russian law enforcement has to use evidence collected from these systems will be tainted by the possibility that some other persons might have inserted said evidence into a suspects account surreptitiously.
You see a bug, kGbRU sees a feature. It makes it so easy to plant evidence...
There are a lot of microclimates around Mendocino. Maybe the weather report just needs to be more granular?
There are a lot of microclimates everywhere that's not flat AF. But I'm talking not just about small showers, but about the reporting on weather systems that cover the entire region. They don't know when or even if they will arrive until hours before it happens.
I'm guessing they have this already. Weather Bug (.com) has cameras everywhere for example; so I'd expect they have sensors too (which are out of our sight, out of mind).
They do not. Most of these companies have zero of their own weather stations. They depend on sensors at airports, and home weather stations people have tied into their services.
U-6 includes under employed workers, which means they're not unemployed.
ALL of these measurements ignore people, like those who have given up, or even those who were collecting unemployment but are no longer eligible to do so — so they're all below the actual numbers. Also, we SHOULD count the underemployed. If they're not making enough to live on, they need a new job too.
Now take that idea and drop some weather stations in the correct locations with all that in mind.
Yes, this is something that drives me nuts. What's it cost to build a weather station with a cellular module in it to send back data occasionally? Why don't we have literally millions more small weather stations sprinkled all over the nation? What year is it?
Of course in some way I think we ought to make the wall. Let it waste money. Let it be something seen from space to remind us for the next ten generations of the consequences of trusting a con man. That might be the key value of the wall.
If China's wall (Make America Great Wall Again?) doesn't fulfill that purpose, then what hope do Trump's steel slats have?
The job of "news" is to provide people to the advertisers. That's why nobody ever sees the page 7 retraction of a front page story about the latest outrage -- nobody buys papers or goes to websites to read retractions.
How's about a law requiring retractions to be on the same page, and in the same section, that the head of the original article was on? That would go a long way towards encouraging stricter fact-checking. Sure, the media needs protection from the government, but the people also need protection from the media.
Let's check page 2711 of the company's contract with you...
Yep. You have certainly agreed to give that data to others in there somewhere, in bullshit legalese. I'm not giving up my genetic material for one of these tests until/unless actual laws are formed protecting my data from being shared with third parties without a warrant.
Yet I have to wonder if we really bother to think about what we lose with such a level of convenience, in which we use the technology without being able to develop a relationship with it.
You can develop a less abusive relationship with it instead, that doesn't require you to constantly dick around with carcinogenic petrochemicals.
Because people like to force other people to have what they think is right.
In this case, what is right is what is sustainable. We must use ~30% less of the planet's resources yearly and reduce carbon emissions dramatically in order to go forward as a species. The Right to Repair is a massive part of that. Nobody should be permitted to make tons of throwaway garbage while we are in environmental crisis (or at any other time, so that we don't return to that.)
We should have kept space development going after we won the space race. We probably could have been mining asteroids by now. Instead, we're shitting where we eat. Intelligent species don't do that.

People predict a lot of things. Where's that orbiting space wheel?
NASA punted on building one out of space shuttle fuel tanks, so we don't have one.

Solar City did pretty poorly, but only because it required that Americans pay their bills on time.
Yes, it certainly has done so far. But it's not dead, just on standby. It can be spun off again if that makes sense.
Educate yourself faggot.
I educated myself with WP before posting. Naturally, I'm not going to watch your video. Do you actually find people who do what you say? Sad fucks, if you do, but not as sad as you.
It's flamebait to talk about avoiding cancer? No. Petrochemicals are flamebait. They actually burn.
Nope. Like the GM EV1, the 1st Gen RAV4 EV was lease only.
Nope. It was lease only at the beginning, but "at the lessees' request, many units were sold after the vehicle was discontinued." and also "A total of 328 RAV4 EVs were sold directly to consumers throughout 2002 and into 2003."

What more is necessary to know?
Steel glows cherry red around 1400-1500 F, at which point work hardening is removed. Aluminum melts at around 1250 F. Those are both pretty important to me....
It isn't irrelevant. There are companies like Enron out there right now.
That doesn't explain what anyone would want to do with the data from the Enron case. If you're trying to make a case against another corporation, you're going to need data about THEIR activities, not Enron's.
It's not a replicator. It only uses one crappy material, and it can't print me a tea, earl grey, hot. Whoever decided on that name is a schmuck.
Battered wife syndrome is the only reason people still use it.
No, network effects are why people use it. I'd happily use something else, but it's where the people are.
Because any thought that Russian law enforcement has to use evidence collected from these systems will be tainted by the possibility that some other persons might have inserted said evidence into a suspects account surreptitiously.
