That's not what you were saying on that other thread.
Lastly please point out an American company that would not be guilty of obstruction of justice if they did not comply with a legal obligation (e.g. subpoena and warrant)
Oh oh oh, please sir, I know this. Apple! Trump inc! And any one else who is rich enough. Did I get it right? Well, guilt maybe technically, but consequence, no way.
I would GLADLY pay $700 if
- the license plate means I will not be stopped for merely exceeding the posted speed limit. I've "prepaid my fine" and so long as I'm not in an accident the license plate is a license to exceed that limit.
- I can display messages at my heart's content, so if the person behind me doesn't understand safe following distances I can smartphone-app a message to the license plate... something polite.... of course.
So not only do you want carte blanche for speeding you also want to operate this thing while driving to send snarky messages? And have the gall to mention the safe (or not) habits of others.
Another possible reason might be to have the ability to turn off your plate while parked but not even sure if that is legal.
A more useful trick would be to use a bit of machine vision to detect what color the traffic light is and then turn it off if the intersection is listed in a red light camera database....
What, so you can jump the light without getting caught by anything but the car that t bones you?
We use a number of useless recruiters for my company. I hate doing it (almost as much as I hate paying them 20% of the candidate's salary), but it reduces the hiring pain, especially when the market is tight.
Aside from admin positions, the only times we have been treated this way are people who are pretty full of themselves... or just clueless little shits. The absolute worst though is having someone in the office for a day or week, and they just decide to stop doing it. (Two people out of ~50 employees this past year, maybe one or in the prior 15.). Well, maybe not quite as bad as the little shit that milked us for two months until he could find another job...
Surely if you made the effort to recruit properly rather than outsourcing it you might be able to get yourself some better quality people. Getting other people to do the job you don't want to do will usually result if a minimum effort at best.
Hate to victim blame, but anyone who buys an IoT thingy and actually plugs it in to the internet is all but asking for it. If it can't do it's job not connected, don't buy it, and if it does, don't connect it.
The biggest issue is that that's something you need to have on you. Not having a key is one less thing to carry around.
Second: a key is single factor authentication. Phones can be multi-factor (you need the phone and a password for instance). Keys are also difficult to revoke. If you lose the key, you need to physically change the lock in order to get a new bitting.
Another advantage of phone-based authentication is that you can transmit a token remotely to someone else if you want to give him access to you car. Basically the equivalent of putting car keys in someone's mailbox, but you get to keep your own key, and you don't need to actually go put it in the mailbox.
Saying "what's wrong with a key" is like saying "what's wrong with cash". There are many compelling arguments for cash over credit cards and the like, but cash isn't without issues.
All those arguments can be made against the phone though? Cash or card is a choice, and as long as this is then that's ok.
What about a microswitch next to the SIM slot which can be triggered by a straightened paper clip and PHYSICALLY shuts off power to the battery?
That would require an intrusion into the case, kind of defeating the "no intrusions" design goal.
Plus they'll take the sim slot out next. It'll be embedded and you'll have to get it paired at a store. Will probably not be reversible or able to change number without a lot of time and a couple trips to the bank.
He wasn't fired, his contract was up for renewal and they did not renew it.
His contract wasn't up for renewal it needed putting into a new system because of a take over and the person that was supposed to do that actually did get laid off and never bothered.
Overpopulation consumes more resources and produces more environmental toxins. I asume rates grow exponentially as population grows.
Overpopulation is the biggest man made impact on accelerated climate change, over fishing/hunting, and air, water and soil pollution.
Reset is needed, sadly only the richest of the rich will be playing after the reset.
Disease, starvation or war. Overpopulation will sort itself out one way or another.
Wait... what do you think happens when parents are hauled away to jail in the USA? If next of kin are not available, the same happens. In this case, mom and dad committed a crime and have to be detained until they can be adjudicated. The kids are being cared for in the meantime.
Just imagine Obama did half the shit Trump has done you'd be frothing at the mouth. Trump was quite vocal in his anti Obamaness and by extension anti the current president. Now he's the current president its all fake news and trying to shut down people who criticise him and everyone should respect the president regardless because hes the president and that makes him right apparently. How long do you think it will be before he tweets out how term limits are a democrat ploy to hinder him and wonders if they can be removed? Probably punctuated with the word sad and full of random capitalisation.
Where the fuck do you get "Christian" from? White male, yes (in the US and Europe), but the vast majority of computer scientists I've met are atheist—particularly the white, male ones. Obviously the field attracts people who tend to be very analytical and rational. Of course you get the occasional religious freak, but it's rare.
Maybe your social circle is limited, or maybe you aren't widely read.
Bacon, Bayes, Euler, Galileo, Leibniz, Maxwell, Newton, Pascal, Riemann . . . I could go on. I doubt you will illuminate STEM in the way they did, and they believed in God. It seems atheism is not a requirement for rational thinking, let along science and mathematics. That is a conceit that seems to be popular on Slashdot, but there is little to it.
It really does take a lot to get some people out of the brainwashing they recieve a child. There is not a single thing about the god story that makes sense and any adult who truly believes it is either dealing with some serious cognitive dissonance or is actually a fucking idiot.

Go search "Larken Rose"... Learn about "The Tiny Dot"...
That was possibly one of the most stupid and willful misrepresentations I've ever seen.
Now shut up and draw me the Michelle Obama doing Barry in the ass while eating a cake, you fucking bigot.
Take that request to a company that makes its money on drawing pictures for the public and you may have a point.
You seem nice.
It's a valid point though.

Because idiots will pay anything for their iThing
How is that relevant? Instead of getting your sim and popping it in easy peasy you'd have to go down to the store and probably pay $200.

What was wrong with, you know, a key?

"Including a wireless charger with new iPhones would also significantly raise the price of the phones."
Because heaven forbid they let it eat into their profit margin.

I was on a 3 years contract and had only worked for 8 months.
His boss got laid off and didn't put him on the new system
There is no way to stop the multi-day long process. I had to be rehired as a new employee.
By fix it you mean let it do its thing and then rehire the guy as new? Gotchya.
With everyone living like the average American schmuck, it will certainly not work.
Luckily, it's only really americans that do that.

The crime of turning up
You don't need to drop bombs, that's the good thing about it. A heavy metal rod will do way more damage than a nuke without all the pesky fallout.
It sounds expensive.
Space is going to pay.
