    but I can't control if someone else posts a picture of me on facebook and associates my name with it

    FYI: you can disable the ability of others taging you in any photos, in the privacy settings (I think: I don't use that, but helped some [physical] friends doing it)

    It's annoying when sites require a Facebook account to join theirs

    It's really is... sometimes an facebook account is needed just to comment an article! Tinder needs an Facebook account to use... (for this kind of thing I have an Facebook account created with an disposable mail address :P)

    The problem is that whatever filled its niche easily could have even worse.

    I doubt it: Facebook was made en have been developed before the privacy-aware era (tm)

  4. sorry, my main language is portuguese: is firing (job) related?

  5. good point (I tend to agree with it, most of the time :P)

  6. it's not the case, i think: nothing is being prohibited here, only discouraged...

  7. good point

  8. calm down sir: it's unrelated facts (this kind of legal punishment is motivated by campaigns against vax propaganda made by Health Organizations, seems quasi-not related to "free speech" to me...)

    good point (but I think specific anti-vax don't fall in this rule)

  10. s/permission\/badge/license/g s/effectual/effective/g

  11. it's not so simple: there's external/ambient causes (victim of a Hoax campaign, maybe...) of this in some cases - this kind of pressure is very welcome (suspend/cancel permission/badge is very effectual, but anything permanent may lead to serious injustices, in some cases)!

  12. The move followed outbreaks of measles in Europe and parts of the United States, and local whooping cough and measles cases in Australia.

    There was actual harm done because of the sticky stupid of antivaccine activists, so of course their Board will purge in response. People who make themselves allies of the first Horseman of the Apocalypse (Pestilence/plague) do not belong in the healthcare business.

    this! a million times this!

  13. +1 Insightful

  14. open APIs, just about every big university would have a self-driving-car research lab.

    it's a near future now: wait and see :)

  15. Tesla has done the 80% easy part, but how long will the hard final 20% take?

    I don't think it's so easy to account: the "80%" is all we know for this specific case

    I thought that "Level 5" was a marketing-only term (like "Mp5" for chinese media players)

    we poor people just don't own cars. We ride the city bus.

    It's called "prejudice" or "bias": collective transport is not only made for poor people... (I use it a lot, and I'm far from being "poor")

    My phone currently has more information than me

    I doubt it: it's not even possible

  20. Why sell it before the end of useful life of it? Use until the end is not the idea?

  21. it's ugly, but it's made for transportation, not to impress people by his beauty, you know...

  22. Nissan doesn't sell Leaf here in Brazil!

  23. the voice of the car is made by Scarlett Johansson, like in http://www.imdb.com/title/tt17... !? (what a market campaign idea! I'll sell it!)
