no. race-style driving is illegal on public roads. all drivers should respect this law because it is for public safety. congrats to you for spending $500k on a toy, but you still have to follow the law. There's no reason to certify somebody as a trained race-style driving for this reason.
you want to open it up? go to a race track, reprogram the engine chip, and go nuts.
A. The enthusiast is purchasing the vehicle. As long as he or she is following the rules of the road, and his or her vehicle meets the safety standards for the year of manufacture, there should be no problem... The enthusiast should not be driving at unsafe speeds on public roadways.
i think this is the root of the matter. If the porch flipped over while driving 25mph, then this sounds like a safety issue. but if the car is unstable when driving 90mph in a 25mph neighborhood, then it's hard to say this is a technical equipment problem. i don't know how fast the car was going, but I'm sure that will come out in the analysis. I will withhold my opinion vis. mandated additional safety devices until getting more info.
isn't that the free market at work? isn't that what everybody wants, instead of socialism? If you want to buy clothes, you can go to walmart, you can go to nordstroms, or you can go to barneys. why should healthcare be any different?
sure ok. you have to hold individuals responsible for their actions. At the same time we can recognize that there are macro sociological trends at work, and try to minimize these trends. Don't open the gates of arkham.
agreed, minorities are overrepresented due to various sociological factors. but the individuals in the prisons chose to commit crimes. they are not victims.
that's cool. I imagine there will always be boutique insurance that lets you access the best practitioners. But I dont' think that's a sustainable model for the entire nation.
However, the total number of bitcoins in the system then goes down --- new BTCs will be mined in the future.
but how can you tell if a bitcoin has been lost, i.e. the PW is lost or wallet file destroyed, or if it is being horded, i.e. tucked away for a rainy day? it would seem wrong to artificially expand new bit coins in the future because some are being saved now.

Even so, the consumer should be the one making that cost-benefit analysis wherever practical, and where not the doctor is perhaps the best choice - never the government ruling from afar, deciding what's best for the peons.
i absolutely agree that the consumer should be doing the cost benefit analysis. the problem is that our current healthcare system is so horribly broken that this is impossible. neither the patient nor the doctor know the true cost of whatever services that are done and medications that are prescribed. So the only costs that the consumer is optimizing against is the portion of costs passed through by the insurance.
I think the best model is the Kaiser Permanente HMO of managed care. The doctors are all employees of Kaiser, which provides the insurance as well. So the doctors are directly incentivized to keep costs low. i hate this as a patient, which is why i use a PPO. But from a societal perspective this seems to make the most sense.
it sucks and should be changed. but if you're a big company like google you have the resources to do things correctly today, instead of doing whatever you want. you also have the resources to lobby washington to change the laws! I don't see them doing either.
Eventually it will. Space is the ultimate high ground, and the nation which controls space can just chunk pieces of metal from a satellite for nuclear-blast effectiveness. No need for nuclear weaponry when throwing rocks or metal rods, "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" style works just as well.
There's no such thing as absolute privacy. you need to ask, privacy from whom. If you want privacy at a coffeeshop, use a VPN client so you don't get packet sniffed. If you want privacy at your home (shared) computer, clear your browser cache. If you want privacy from the servers you're connecting to, then TOR may be a good option. If you want privacy from NSA, then forget about it. It's best to assume the entire internet is a military resource, and you have guest privileges.

ooh, burn on women drivers! I'm glad you spoke up; there hasn't been enough sexism in the thread yet. fist bump!

obviously, you don't sell them all at once, so you don't move the market with your actions. it doesn't make them any more or less valuable.
i can't believe a bit coin heist wasn't included in GTA V.

Most people in prison are victims, either of unjust laws, or an economy deliberately engineered to work against the common man.

Idk... In California an ounce of gold would buy 50MJ of electricity, which sounds like a lot.

I don't understand this point. can you elaborate?
gold isn't formed anywhere, except at the center of the sun. and in my basement from a supply of lead bricks.
i think you have insightful points, but they could receive more attention if they were phrased in a more neutral manner.
well, if they're looking to woo disgruntled users, then slashdot is a great place to advertise!
just get an 11 inch mac book air. those are pretty small too.
i do all my graphic layout in ppt. they have vectors and shapes too. also, cool animations.
