Which make it so you can only sell new cars if you're a car dealership.
Just curious... is there anything that prevents Tesla from classifying their cars as "used" but simply providing all the benefits of a new car purchase? For example in one previous country I lived in, if the seller is a business (as opposed to a private seller), government laws provide the buyer with a 30-day warranty period with any purchase of a used item, however new items are required by law to come with a minimum of a 1-year warranty. However there is nothing preventing a business from providing longer warranty periods for either used or new items. If a business wants to sell a used toaster and provide a 2-year warranty on it, they can.
If Tesla sells their car as "used" but offers warranty terms identical to a new car, would that work? I'm assuming not, but would like to know what legislators threw into the law to prevent such a workaround.
Why can't they just spin up their own dealership business and operate it basically as a tesla shop.
Ender from "Ender's Game" because that fits the pattern too. And if you don't know what happened to people who opposed Ender, I suggest you read the book, because I have not seen the movie yet and I don't know how well it spells things out.
I've not read the book but the film is shit and ends on massive let down. The kid in it though didn't seem particularly like a don't cross me type.
Being allowed to sell something isn't a right, it's a privilege. One that Tesla doesn't have.
Why doesn't tesla have the right yet McDonalds, Apple, Slazenger and a jillion other companies do? Oh yes, because dealers lobbied enough to get it enshrined into law that no one else is allowed to sell cars, especially not the people who make them. You HAVE to use the middleman who does nothing but make your product more expensive and they have no incentive to make a better service or compete on price because legally they have no competition. Just imagine you could buy a car at walmart or on amazon or from anyone who decides to open a car shop. How would that be bad for anyone except the entrenched car dealerships? Americans claim to be all about the free market but they stifle it at every opportunity.
How is the power limited when they can not only stop companies from doing things but retroactively have services removed? Any way, at least we get decent internet at decent prices.
Kinda, I'm not American so I'm not used to the powers that be shitting on us in quite such a blatant manner. Ours are usually more subtle and dubious screwings. I suppose it's kind of refreshing they're so up front about it.
When it comes to free speech, I'd still rather them be in charge than just about anyone else.
Don't be fooled, they don't have freedom of speech, or at least good intentions at heart. They just want to retain the ability to capture all the data to spy on the people, just like they have been doing. America hasn't been the land of the free for a long time. Don't worry though. Trump will make it all great again....
Is this basically the state saying to its people "fuck you, you can't have good internet because it's not sold by our buddies who would rip you off if they could be bothered, but they can't. So again, fuck you"?
Given that none of the articles, as far as I saw, said anything about faster than light communication, and one explicitly disavowed the concept, I think you're projecting your own mistaken conceptions here.
And your friend is correct - quantum teleportation has nothing to do with faster than light communication, as you can neither determine to what form the waveform has collapsed, nor whether one side has already collapsed it. It's effectively** equivalent to having two identical letters containing a random message sealed in an envelope, taking them to different locations, and opening them at the same time. Both sides will get the same random message at the same time, but it provides no means for conveying information faster than light. It is however useful for keysharing.
** In the real world, what is written inside the "envelopes" isn't determined until it's actually observed. But it works out to the same net effect.
It seems to me that they could very well use it for ftl communications. If you can change the state of one particle to a state that represents either a 1 or 0 then the other will change to match it so you just read the state of the recipient and then you have a binary stream. The bandwidth might not be especially great and on an earthly scale you'd probably still get a better data rate over traditional methods. Although I am not a expert in such fields, not even an amateur and there are probably a bunch of reasons that won't work but still, if you can control one to read the other I don't see why not.
Artists are still being jacked. I have family in a band that has toured the states, have award winning music videos, and cut several CDs, but haven't received a fucking penny from anything but concerts.
That'll be because they fucked up and signed a record deal.
What will happen is soon every new video will need approval to verify it doesn't break a copyright.
Not even the RIAA is dumb enough to suggest this, and it is in no sense Google's responsibility, and most importantly, only the rightsholder can determine if a work is infringing.
Excuse me, contentID is at the door, he'd like a word. It's true he misidentified the house for a similar one but you're getting the shaft anyway.
Technically they are correct though. If you pirate an album the artist doesn't get paid. If you watch a video off a stream that isn't official or VEVO then the ad revenue doesn't go back to the artist. So again they aren't getting paid.
If you don't want to pay for the music then why are you listening to it? There's no rational that justifies this today.
If you watch a video on an official source or not, do the set dressers, or camera people, or lighting people or anyone other than the 'artist' get paid again? Why should the 'artist' get paid every time. We should extend it to everyone. Every time you cook in your oven you should have to pay a fee, who gives a fuck if its already been paid for? These so called 'artists' think they can just pump out turd after turn and get paid more and more. Especially the ones that are little more than a pair or tits shaking about to cover the vast lack of any actual talent. Thing is though, its not even about the 'artists'. It's the labels who want paying again and fuck everyone else.
A paper bag? What the fuck, not necessarily apple but the patent office for giving it. If you've invented a new type of strong paper, fair enough, patent that, but you can't (shouldn't) be able to patent a bag for fucks sake. Especially such a generic looking one.
Human activity requires energy. Used energy becomes heat.
Well, the solution is simple. Attach a device to every person to capture that heat to turn it back into energy to fund further activity thus generating more heat and so on and so on. Holy fuck, I think I just invented cold fusion!

Which medical experts? The medical experts who took the kid of medicine she was responding too, locked her in psyche and watched a massive decline, gagged the parents from speaking about it, removed from their care and then returned when the kid was all but on death's door. Those medical experts? Or the original one that seemed to be doing a decent job.

Fuck yeah, let's do that!

Here's a starting place.
So in other words, there were compelling reasons to keep the law.
By compelling do you mean tesla didn't give them enough bribe money, sorry, lobby hard enough?
Being allowed to sell something isn't a right, it's a privilege. One that Tesla doesn't have.

How can we justify the risk of troops' lives if we can't even figure out which side we're on.
Because war is good for business. Who cares about the piddly details like sides and who started what?

They might even, one day, pay taxes on that money.
HaHa, good one. I'd mod you funny but I already posted.
Next version they'll get rid of the antiquated handle and claim most people carry the bags as a clutch anyway.

I've been into a shitload of shops that have bag designs that look like that, I'm sure you have too. Prior art.

FU, make some good music and I might buy it. Else, fuck you RIAA nazis.
Ah, nothing like blaming the landlord when your slice of hot apple pie is served cold at your favorite restaurant.
Good luck with that, idiot.
Yeah, well when the landlord is claiming to be the arbiter of all pies and he should get the money before distributing it to the pie makers then sure.

So you want them to pay taxes on money they never received?
Think of it this way: if someone stole a bunch of CDs from one of their warehouses, would you want them to pay tax on that like the CDs were sold??
If they received compensation for said losses then fucking right they should pay the tax on that amount.
A paper bag? What the fuck, not necessarily apple but the patent office for giving it. If you've invented a new type of strong paper, fair enough, patent that, but you can't (shouldn't) be able to patent a bag for fucks sake. Especially such a generic looking one.
