Firstly - 2 stroke, so no valves, lifters, push rods, timing belts, cams, rocker arms or anything else.
Also 2 stroke air cooled has no water pump, no oil pump. And as for starter and alternator the comment was around drive train so I left them out.
As for carbs, yes I have worked on them. Many many many of them. One of the nicer things about building old vehicles is the systems are much much simpler. Go and pull a part a set of mikuni carbs for an old Yamaha 2 stroke and there aren't that many moving parts. Here - http://www.mikunipower.com/Man... there are 37 parts in the ENTIRE carb. You count how many of them are moving.
I wasn't trying to say that an ICE vehicle in its entirety is a simple device. Also modern vehicle have insane numbers of moving parts. However those aren't necessarily required to get the basics. I will also admit to using motorcycle setups.
Thousands? You could build the entire vehicle if your part count was thousands... 4 pistons, 8 rings, 4 conrods, 1 crank shaft, a couple of bearings and you have a 4 cylinder 2 stroke engine. If you then want to add in 1 slide, 1 butterfly valve, a pulley, cam, cable and float valve and you have your carb. For ignition, none of those parts move so those don't count. Cassette gearbox, lets assume your counting each gear independently - lets say 20 parts.
In principal I agree with you. But in practice there isn't a level playing field at the beginning because each country offers different levels of resources. If a US & a French Netflix were to start day one, with only their own personally created content you would have an argument that the playing field was level. But in reality a US netflix has access to a huge catalogue of english media that people are already educated / programmed into wanting. So they have a huge advantage over the French version.
You may be forced to buy a particular class of product by law. But unless there is only a single monopoly provider you would not be forced to purchase it from a particular company. Ie you may have to have medical insurance but there is no reason you couldn't refuse to buy that from "Evil Insurers R Us"
No but a hammer manufacturer could require that no hammer is sold for the purpose of killing someone.
Also Pfizer are not refusing to sell to the bureau of prisons, they are refusing to have their drugs used in executions and will not sell them if they are for that purpose. This means that there will be a contract around the sale of the drugs.
I don't really know how to answer this as I feel it is kind of self obvious, but I'll try to explain my rationale.
All of the things that are listed as things you are not allowed to discriminate on would result in sections of the community being ostracised. This will cause your community to begin to break down and will cause social tension. It therefore is in the interests of the greater good of your society to not have that type of discrimination, and depending on your moral compass that alone is moral justification.
No I don't. But where I live it would be illegal for a company to discriminate on those grounds. Here we have a whole class of areas where discrimination is not permitted such as race, religion, political affiliation, age, disability, relationship status, status as a parent / carer, spent convictions, trade, or association.
So in Australia the baker would not be allowed to discriminate based on not wanting to make a cake for a gay couple if they also made cakes for straight people getting married. They would, however, be within their rights to refuse to make cakes for any weddings.
Yes they have the right to not serve someone. Where they would fall foul of the law is if they served a Catholic executioner but refused to serve a Jewish executioner.
As for penalties Pfizer are just the last major organisation to make this decision. All the others have already done it and European based companies are prohibited from selling drugs for use in executions in the first place.
Yes and no. Yes it is technically the same right, however certain types of discrimination are unlawful. You cannot refuse to serve someone because of their race is another example of unlawful discrimination.
However, if I sold hydroponics kit and you came to me wanting to use it for growing Pot I am within my rights to refuse you service. (Swap pot for tomatoes and the same rationale holds)
But all they are doing is exercising their right to not sell you a product. There is no requirement for Pfizer or any other corporation to sell something to you if they don't want to. Of course you have the right to refuse to buy anything else from them and encourage others to do the same. But nothing they are doing is implicitly wrong.
Any other things you want to out people about? Driving a bit too quick? Drinking a bit too much? Being friends with someone you don't like?
Hell at least the driving too quick is an offence. It just seems that you have picked a particular personal issue and planted your moral flag on it. Why not leave people alone? I suggest you focus on your own immediate friends and family, there will be more than enough turmoil and heartache under the surface there without you triggering issues for others.
What are you comparing it to? How would you have spent the money differently? Personally even if it was just the research on long term exposure to microgravity I would have said it was worth it.
The research around Osteoporosis that was conducted on the ISS can't be replicated anywhere else.
No I didn't get into trouble. I was referring to the cases I see where some kid gets investigated because they built a level of their school in the last 5 years. 20 years ago no one cared.
Doom 2 would have got me into lots of trouble if I had gone to school in modern times. Using the editor I built a crappy level based on one of my school buildings and used the teachers photos out of my year book as the pictures for the enemies.
Sad to say I can't even remember how I did any of that any more.
But my understanding is that they are duplicating an implementation via black box reverse engineering. Anything can be described in words, this doesn't extend copyright protection to the final object.
If your interpretation is correct there would be no need or desire for software patents of any kind because software is collections of letters and hence fall under copyright. This just simply isn't the case.
Really? I see this as no different to a 3rd party manufacturer making coffee pods or oil filters. The API is the bit that connects / fits with something on the outside. And I can do it both ways. I can make a coffee machine that uses nespresso pods or I could make pods that fit in a nespresso machine.
What I do doesn't naturally fit the 9-5 model. I start work fairly early, around 7am, and will usually finish work around 7-8pm. However I take a couple of hours out in the middle of the day. It works really well for me as I get to see and play with my kids, some times pick the older one up from school, take my youngest to her swimming lessons, or take my motorbike out for a strap up the mountain.
The flip side is I often am on the phone and sending / receiving emails in the evening. And if I didn't work like that my efficiency and performance would tank. I couldn't manage to work 13 hours straight, but if I'm cut off come 5 It would be terrible.
He said he stood there with a guy who met him and admired his car for 5 minutes. Hypothetically someone could stalk off and not hear the horn beeping but according to the article he spent 5 minutes after parking showing his car off. Something isn't adding up.
Exactly AACS's argument is that because of the injunction DVDfab should be actively blocking US ip addresses. I guess when you live in a world where everything you do is geoblocked you can't see any other solution.
It would have. The double tap of the gear stick puts a picture of the car on the screen with summon mode active. An arrow showing which what it is going to move and plays a sound effect.
There is a critical difference between your conclusion and mine. As you said PART of the sequence to activate summon is to put the car in park. But it is only part. The rest of the sequence is not something you would reasonably do by accident.
Summon requires you to go through a series of processes which are not likely to be done by accident. You are also required to keep the vehicle in direct line of sight while using summon and you, as the person who activated summon, have the ability to stop the vehicle at any time using the key fob.
Also the double push method for summon starts really soon after you get out of the car, so his story of standing there just doesn't add up.

First - Drive train was the comment. 2nd I said 2 stroke that kills valves, cams, rockers, oil pumps, water pumps (if air cooled).
I did say about 40 moving parts. But here - you count the moving parts - https://louisdietvorst.files.w...

They make cattle ranches look lovely, with beautiful green grass. Australian cattle ranches don't look like that..... at all.
