  1. Map please... on Michigan Latest State To Ban Direct Tesla Sales · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Could somebody please draw a map showing where Telsa's direct sales model has been banned? Seems like this story is on its way to running 50 times...

    California has hotter weather than Maine nearly all of the time. Check your national weather maps. What makes that relevant here is that cars have to operate in the environment they're in.

    If Congress wanted to regulate cars, they'd have to move the 50 state databases of car information into one national one.

    Regulating cars is tough to do from Washington, DC because weather is different in the 50 states.You never have to deal with snow in California.

    You're responsible for kids FOREVER. If you kill your kid on their 18th birthday, you go down for murder.

    I'm part of the reason why Oran family kids survive... you can't announce you're going to kill your kid on their first birthday and get away with it on my watch.

    Uhm, kids who make money try to keep it away from their parents unless they have a really good relationship with them. I still haven't been able to enjoy the money I made from the CBS Latenight News.

    So if I post a stock trade on the internet, am I not liable if it looses money?So if I post a stock trade on the internet, am I not liable if it looses money?

    If you say "I think this is going up..." you're playing along with sites like Fool.com and MotifInvensting.com where users share ideas, but aren't liable if it doesn't work.

    If you shout "This is going up!" and then sell into the sea of users following you, then that's "pump and dump" and you get banned by the FTC.

    Kids need a private channel to communicate with other kids that their parents can't monitor. "Dating" is the process of trying to escape control to find out if the person on the other side of the table really wants to be with you more.

    Judges sometimes have trouble getting their rulings enforced. If a judge local to Facebook says "Uh, you can't make me pull that..." the judge local to the complaining person has to demand the password holder of the account pull it.

    There's such a thing as illegal speech. You can't post libel or slander on the Internet. You have a right to say anything true, but you don't have permission say bad things about a person or company that aren't true.

    State laws can shut down a store, even if the products there are from out of state.
    State laws can say a type of car can't be operated on roads in the state.
    State laws can prevent a type of car from being registered.

    When parents insist on parental controls being added to things like Facebook, they become responsible for what their kids do. When you have control, you're responsible for when it goes wrong.

  14. Can we talk about two things at the same time? on Internet Companies Want Wireless Net Neutrality Too · · Score: 1

    There seems to be two disjoint discussions on the same thing around here...

    When we talk Net Neutrality we talk about giving every node on the Internet an equal chance to speak.
    When we talk about Netflix/Google/Amazon buying fast lane access to users, we're violating the rules of Net Neutrality to give people what they're paying for faster.

    Do you see how when we celebrate one side of this, the other side loses?

    First, even if you've got a gigabit around town, you don't really have an ability to fill it. If you were going to use that whole thing, you have no way of viewing anything that fast. It's multiple movies in a matter of seconds.

    Second, you can only go as fast as the server on the other side is willing to send to you. If they've got a gigabit on their side, you'll fill their pipe too, disabling the site to other people.

    In other words, a step down to 600MHz because that's you're local speed is good enough for most uses. Only a datacenter needs to go that fast.

    You can't "fire" for no reason at all. That's called a "layoff" instead. "Fired" means you can't get unemployment insurance money, "Laid off" means you win an unemployment claim.
