Good job to Tesla for announcing that they're planning on open sourcing their code! This can't be anything but good news for the auto industry. There's a lot of people that are worried about their autonomous cars getting hacked, this will provide a good baseline of security.
These "institutions" are nothing more than a facade. Corporations and governments do not exist without the people who run them. It is the people who make the day-to-day decisions. Greedy people hide behind the legal shelter that corporations provide to make decisions solely based on monetary gain.
Please note that I agree with what you're saying, but it is ethically wrong for anyone to say that people aren't doing the damage, and that corporations are.
I simply don't understand - we all live on this planet together. How can people be so short-sighted? How can they think of money before the environment? There's a place for profit in pouring less carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. It makes me sick to think we're all going to die without having at least *tried* to reverse the next mass extinction event, just because the automobile industry is too fucking lazy to step up and change the way they do things. It's not all about money. We're already fucked at this point (look at co2.earth ), I'm afraid. We've all been trying to play god for way too long now. I just don't get how people can reject the science and think that it's "us vs. them" capitalist mentality bullshit though. I mean, c'mon. Go Bronco's, I guess. Fuck.
It'd be awesome to try to tackle the problem of people wanting to kill each other in cold blood in the United States. You know, maybe try to foster a culture that values human life.
Oh wait, that goes against killing people in *other* countries though. Nevermind, that'll never work.
Hey I know, how about a process to update them before they're used (not necessarily 24/7 care)? I wonder if voting machine manufacturers are smart enough to keep track of sold equipment, software revisions and therefore patches needed, update processes...Sounds familiar to me for some reason, it's almost like other companies do that kind of thing. Not sure if computers are smart enough yet to query a server for required updates though. Sounds so....futuristic.
I think all OG Slashdotters here realize that current voting machines deployed here in the U.S. are all shit, hackable, it's been like this for many elections. There's proof online. But will anything ever be done about it? The people that make the big decisions at the state/federal level have always been reluctant to take security seriously enough to do anything about it - after all, it's all about the Benjamins.
So what next? Are we just going to keep holding elections that nobody really believes in, on outdated, vulnerable piece of shit voting machines? How will the people who actually understand the internals of machines like this convince the people who purchase and deploy them that they can't keep doing it this way?
...And simply put armed air marshals on every flight? That way they can cover 100% of *possible* cases. And without all that pesky, constitutionally-raping without-probable-cause surveillance.
What did they expect? Nintendo is actively engaged in these old games' sales with the retro / mini units. Obviously a lot more people would be buying the units if free ROM downloads didn't exist. It's just business. They didn't seem to care much for years before the units came out.
I went to a tech college and after graduating my next steps were to get my A+, MCSE and CCNA. That's when I started getting into Linux and open source software in general. I swayed from getting my certs (I'm an independent tech consultant now) and I'm really glad I did. I know there aren't many FOSS alternatives to Cisco/Juniper equipment but if I spent all that time learning the ins and outs of Cisco proprietary equipment, I would have felt it was a big waste of time knowing that, after all my trying to secure things, there's a fucking backdoor (x5) in their stuff. Makes me sick.

"Tesla has the least secure cars in the industry"

To breach this thing. The ocean doesn't like to be warmed.
The trolls are at it hardcore lately, huh?

I had the feeling you'd reply with the legality of corporations/govt/etc.. to which I respond:
That's a cop-out by the people to hide behind their own greed.
You're an ignorant fool for globbing an entire nation's people into one stereotype.
"I'm all for lower emissions but the fact of the matter is that it adds costs to the cars."
Heaven forbid automakers spend a bit more money to help save life on this fucking planet!
Business and government *are* people.

I've been using Linux as my *only* desktop since 2003. My PC is my PC.

You mean Red Rocky's Juice Strips? Wow!
What I mean is, there will *always* be bugs to fix in software. "It works" isn't as simple of a goal as you are imagining.
You obviously have never worked in software development.
Please tell me those aren't coming back in style.

So how do they get away with it with the current method?

why did Nintendo wait until now 30+ years later?
Because they're selling the retro / mini NES / SNES / etc. units would be my guess.
