Perhaps what you really want is a "taxi," which as a trained, professional driver, who knowingly accepts that responsibility (and control) for himself.
Perhaps what I really want is a "taxi" that only costs one-tenth as much, since presently taxis are far too expensive to use on a regular basis. That will require the taxi driver to be replaced by automation.
If the car by itself can do better than a human without the AI, than it is sufficiently good to replace the current model that is human without the AI.
The UK has a first-past-the-post system had had a coalition government between 2010-2015.
The current situation is not stable, and will not last. The UK has had a two-party system for some two hundred years now, going from Tory/Whig, to Conservative/Whig, to Conservative/Liberal, to Conservative/Labour. In all that time, the late coalition government was only the second coalition government ever formed (there were also two National Unity governments in the 1930s).
He'd get farther by using the cash to start blowing holes in the notion that the US must only have two parties.
Unfortunately, the notion that the US must only have two parties is built into the system. When all elections are single-position first-past-the-post affairs, having only two parties becomes the only viable configuration. The US has had changes in what two parties were viable, but since George Washington, it's always had two parties. There's a reason for that.
So instead of localized news, you get no news, *at all*?
Yes. Because in this case, "localized news" means "doing the Chinese government's censorship for them." That's a principled stance--not the most principled stance, but Apple does need to show a profit.
Why even put the app there? Furthermore, why would someone not in China want the extra code to perform this check on their phone? What purpose would it serve in this case?
It shows the Chinese user what he's missing--although this may or may not have been part of Apple's intention. The main thing is this isn't about the phone, it's about where the phone is. When you take it into China, this happens. When you take it out of China, it stops happening. So all phones have the code since any phone might be taken into China (if I'm reading this correctly, it isn't code in the phone performing the check, it's Apple's News servers doing it when the phone asks for News).
Chinese tend to be very compliant people. When asked about censorship issues, most Chinese will say they appreciate their government insulating them from sensitive information as it makes them feel more comfortable.
Of course they will. It's not all that safe to say anything else.
So. You're proposing we regulate the emissions of a machine whose entire purpose is to be extremely mobile on the basis of which township it's in at the moment?
Yes. They omitted the diesel exhaust fluid (urea) injection system.
Nope. The urea injection system was installed on every car. They wouldn't have been able to pass the EPA tests if it wasn't. It's just that it resulted in worse mileage and performance when it was turned on. So the software turned it off except when it detected that it was undergoing an EPA test.
It's not exactly tiny...in some cases the cars emitted 35 times the allowed amount of nitrogen oxides. As for "bigger picture", nitrogen oxides are the primary cause of smog.
Reminds me of the grape juice concentrate that used to be sold during Prohibition with step-by-step instructions on how to ferment it into wine--solely so you could avoid accidentally breaking the law by doing it, of course.

In a world without lawsuits, that would be true.

Well, they kinda wanted Jeb Bush, but that pretty much fell flat on its face.
Heck, I got better than that...Games Workshop model paints! So which do you want, Warpstone Glow, Stormvermin Fur, or Leadbelcher?

What I've been thinking all this time. I actually use a case with belt loops--that way it can't accidentally pop off my belt.
No accidental dialing. No cracked or scratched screens. No lost phones. I've got very little sympathy for these people when a simple solution exists.
Because the phone must be able to dial 911 even if it's locked. That's the law.

Nope. All the parts are there. The software simply turned them off except when when it detected an EPA test was being done.
And you're expecting to find somebody in Marketing who's not a sociopath or psychopath? Good luck.

What do you have against Single Jewish Women?

After all, who wants anything to do with people made out of meat?
Gee, when I went to the local witch doctor, he just told me, "Ooh ee ooh aah aah, ting tang walla walla bing bang."
Electricity, lasers, sound waves, and magnets.
