Ford is doing a recall on an event that occurred at roughly 8 times less rate than Teslas fires. They didn't gloss over it and say everything is perfect. They analyzed the costs of the lawsuits vs the recall and came to the conclusion that the recall would be less expensive. It's a voluntary recall.
The common thread in all those changes is cost. Digital tuning and volume control is cheaper than analog. A single touch panel replaces a bunch of separate controls. They don't have to change back even when it is unsafe because all of the manufacturers do the same thing so it is "industry standard practice".
From the article: Instead of paying new employees during an onboarding and training period, business can now require employees to take a “free course” before paying them a dime.
The next step is when companies start suggesting the problems they would like to have solved for course credit. The course is "free" to the participant,but somebody is paying the bills, and that somebody expects to get something of value.
anybody can sue anybody for anything. it doesn't mean you'll win, and even if you do your winnings may pale in comparison to your legal costs.
Once I sued my neighbor because her cat kept defecating in my potted plants. Judge said that I couldn't show any actual monetary damages, so that was the end of that.
and who says there are too many frivolous lawsuits? If I were the judge I'd have thrown it out because you directed the suit to the wrong target. You should have sued the cat.
Regardless of your interpretation of the incident, you should not have posted his name. It does not make you seem very trustworthy.
You are saying that somebody writes to total stranger, tries to get them to support some shady purpose, uses his real name, and then expects them to keep it secret? On what do you base this? Is there a chapter in Emily Post on dealing with terrorists?
The reason to put up comments section on your website is that you control it. You can take down the really bad stuff. Without it, someone will put up popularsciencesucks.com which you have no control over.
Galileo caved to popular opinion and was wrong on many points. Kepler was the scientist at the time who was proposing dissident and ultimately correct theories.
The problem is that every card on a PCIe bus can be a master, has access to all of memory, has a processor of some kind, and has insecure firmware. Pick any popular card - network, storage or graphics - and you have a potential attack. Find a bug people are having and post a fix or a tool to fix it. There will always be some sucker who will download it and run it.
It's the money to back the mortgages that is gone (FNMA and FHLMC). So you should be pointing the finger at Congress who created the mortgage crisis, not the executive branch who cleaned up the mess.
I point the finger first and foremost at the home owners who bought homes they couldn't afford. But the administration certainly pushed for bailouts; instead of fixing the mess, it made it worse by creating a moral hazard.
You do know that most of the bailout money to Wall St and Detroit has been returned don't you? It's the money to back the mortgages that is gone (FNMA and FHLMC). So you should be pointing the finger at Congress who created the mortgage crisis, not the executive branch who cleaned up the mess.
After Snowden's in prison, do the same to those whom have aided and abetted the release of such information - including those at the Washington Post(if the NSA does its job right, that newspaper should have wished that it had done the right thing by not publishing national secrets).
Given the evidence that he not only broke his trust to keep secrets, he also did so in a manner that harms this country entirely. If there should be any pardons and praise, they are to be reserved for anyone who may be prosecuted in bringing Snowden to justice. In addition, reward and protect them from any retaliation that may occur from any Snowden fanatics.
Of course, this won't all go well with those that worship Snowden as some idol and not rightfully consider him as a betrayer of one's country. However, I do not recognize any value in destroying the country or ensuring that it cannot protect itself from threats within and without.
Harmed the country or harmed the Administration? Which is the greater harm: revealing to our enemies that they are being spied on or hiding from every American that they are being spied on?

Aside from an overzealous use of commas it seems pretty clear that the US Gov can't just scoop up everything, or require the Telecoms to retain records so that they can see them later. First the data gets used because we have an immediate terrorist threat. Next week its use will be justified for other purposes in the same way that the Patriot Act has been abused.

No it isn't. Skills become obsolete in a year. Theory never does.
So multiple people in my apartment can't use NAT?

Look what happened to Quest and their CEO after refusing to give up data to the NSA.

UA flight 93 shows that people can change from sheep to sheep dogs pretty quickly when properly motivated.
According to Wikipedia, it is 9.3 g/L so you are off by a factor of 10. It should be 0.23 gm of urea.

What happened to the story about the Obomacare web site I clicked on. Was I imaging it?
That site crashed under the load.
Actually, all large mainframe computers have speakers and microphones so that when they develop intelligence they can speak menacingly.
At least that's what I've seen in movies.

It is. This decision was made two years ago. The article, poster and editors are all pointedly demonstrating the death of journalism.

No, I don't know that because it's false. You need to check your facts better.
I would call 375 of $465 B TARP money most or maybe you just believe the voices on the radio.

No. Its because Perl has things like "0 but true". WTF? is just not strong enough.

But look at all the people who have been reprimanded or jailed for classifying documents that should remain open to the public.
Oh, there aren't any.
