If it's an actual "emergency brake" it's not connected to the hydraulics at all...
Most of these things are safer not being under human control anyway, like being able to put the car in park at 80MPH on the freeway, or engaging the emergency brake in the same situation. If you're not the panicky idiot that everyone else in the world is, perhaps you can ease on a handbrake, but most people are going to yank it on, lock the rear wheels and spin out.
Sure, if the systems all fail you're left (maybe) with engine braking, but at a risk assessment level, more people kill themselves due to bad reactions than mechanical failure. Hell, most of them can't even work out to turn off the ignition when the accelerator pedal gets caught under the floor mat, and if they do will probably turn to key all the way to lock and lose the steering.
Except they want to do as many stupid things as possible: - Not familiarise themselves with the vehicle (admittedly no one does this) - Not use the parking brake - Not turn the car off - Not take the key when exiting the vehicle

In this case the installer is affected by DLL side loading, but it's not like installers are the only time this happens. Most of the examples in the previous link are in running installed executables, like Chrome.
You're correct about package managers in that they've long had useful package signing, but then once things are installed there's a handful of people on earth that can properly maintain a SELinux configuration (accepting the vendor default doesn't count).
If you explain that you "only have small, large and grande" it's pedantic to complain "you mean small, medium and large".
Or if you explain "all you can eat" doesn't mean "all you and your 5 friends can eat", fair enough.
However, if you claim that you sell a "capped price" plan and explain that "capped means the minimum amount we charge, we can and will charge you more" then only an idiot accepts that redefinition as kosher.
While your desktop is likely pretty well protected against worms by default (ignoring the fact it's probably punching holes in the firewall with UPnP) it's/entirely/ irrelevant to the attack under discussion.
This is a privilege escalation attack on people who are doing the 'right thing' and not running all their web browsers as admin. i.e. corporate/government networks that tend to enforce AV and have moved on from the Windows 98 model. Access from the internet side is not required.
It's like you're saying HIV isn't a problem because you use condoms with any casual sex partners, but we've gone ahead and infected your spouse to get to you.
You sound like a PE teacher. Or married one. Children shouldn't need "guided play" after preschool, but they sure as hell need critical thinking lessons from an earlier age.
I don't think the coding is that useful in itself, but the flexible problem solving that comes from the inevitable bugs in their code and thinking about how to test if it's giving good output is pretty valuable.
We did a tiny amount of BASIC in junior high school 30 years ago taught (naturally) by Maths teachers, and those with the interest/aptitude carried that forward. Similarly the sporty kids played more sport during their free time.
Which one of those was more valuable during later life is a judgement for the reader....
Isn't the problem though that the insurance companies are the ones that pay for the drug, so there's no incentive for your European holiday, just a general reaming to the entire US population in the form of more inflation of the health insurance market? (Plus Mexico/Canada is closer...)
nonplussed nnplst adjective 1. so surprised and confused that one is unsure how to react. "Henry looked completely nonplussed" 2. NORTH AMERICAN informal not disconcerted; unperturbed. -- So, literally the opposite of the actual meaning.
Excellent! This is the way it should be done (firewall part aside). A globally routable IP address per machine is the dream!
Even if you accept that's a good idea; that doesn't actually require 128bits, 40 would give us a trillion addresses, ~140 each. (That assumes we're all equal and the population is stable. The former is clearly false, though population is expected to peak at less than 10 billion.) Given the impossibility of everyone having US lifestyles, 1 trillion addresses is effectively unlimited, you don't actually need enough to address every atom in the observable universe.
I would not agree with you here. The motivation is a larger address pool.
IPv6 is always sold as being security aware, it just manages to fail at that as well. A rational person would say that it needs a redesign now to BE secure before widespread adoption is forced by exhaustion... (though if you put a $1/year cost on IP addresses we'd all of a sudden be awash in the damn things and businesses wouldn't have a/16 to support an office with zero servers in it...)
Getting the money before release isn't really the issue.
Getting the money before people know what an unholy broken dog your product is, that's the issue.
Publishers discovered that they could guarantee X million dollars of revenue on day one, AND that the return rate wasn't purely based on it working on day one because people have a lot of inertia and would wait a few days to be reassured that their problems were being addressed and a patch was forthcoming "soon". They also discovered that advertising spend, empty promises of bonus content, the ability to download early, and in-game progression systems that reward jump starting on others meant they could massively increase the day one sales on digital download as well.
What they couldn't do was upset their shareholders and blow revenue forecasts and not release, so if it's horribly broken, it ships. Even if it didn't even start on half the systems out there, it wouldn't effect that quarter's revenue, and that's what's most important.
Not that anything's going to change, the people writing these articles aren't the teenagers who are proving the MBA scumbags right.

Hrmmm, does that mean we should implant law knowledge or a series of drunken sexual harassment encounters?
I love this thread, so much.

The sooner it's all automated the better.

Right, so you're telling me the Affluenza kid is a democrat?
I wonder if those paid-internships would be available to transgender women, or transgender men, just where is the line?
Mmmm, I don't buy that at all.

I always find semantics works really well for making customers happy.

Is an actual mass shooting an appropriate reaction to publishing a few cartoons of the prophet?
At least this crap lets Gamers know how Muslims feel.
These things are the same in precisely the same way that Goths and the Catholic Church are.
Can you be picked up after calling a friend to come get you? If yes, why not when you "call" an Uber?
For the same reason that I can put my penis in a friend if they ask me to, but I can't pay them to encourage them to ask.
Your "where's the line?" argument is weak sauce.
You forgot the sarcasm tags.

Not to mention; how naked is the eye with a lens over it?
