Who are you to "allow" or disallow anyone to do anything? People are free. Stop reflexively using government and police to bully everyone every second of their lives by default.
We could get rid of most traffic "laws" regardless of Teslas. We don't need a whole code of laws and penalties for everything everyone does. Change them from "laws" with penalties and police enforcement of every minute detail to "rules" with police enforcement reserved for recklessness and drunk driving.
People would drive more-or-less the same way they do now. No one wants to crash, and recklessness would still be punished by law. Police would be freed up to actually police bad guys instead of fundraising off of regular drivers.
Just because driving is safer now than ever before does not justify someone txting on a phone while driving.
But it does justify less aggressive policing of driving in general. We shouldn't have to bear the burden of enforcing as many rules and having them enforced upon us when the dangers are low and dropping all the time.
When the studies find out notifications aren't distracting, no one tells you about those studies.
These types of headlines tend to lead to suggestions of more driving restrictions. But driving has never been safer. We don't need our every minute policed by punitive government overseers. We need fewer citizen/police interactions -- those interactions can be very dangerous.
then Google can't use this technique. Personally, I hope Apple gets more similar patents. Because unlike Google, Apple has promised not to sell my info to advertisers. Worst case, Apple breaks their promise and becomes as bad as Google.
every year there are close to 140,000 jobs requiring a CS degree, but only 40,000 U.S. college graduates major in CS, which means that 100,000 positions go unfilled by domestic talent
Is this statistic really true? Are those 140,000 net new jobs, or just job openings that exist for some period of time during the year?
The article cites but does not link to a source for this statistic.
Also, a CS degree is a long, tough slog through dull material that has dubious relevance to most jobs that require a CS degree.
The summary clearly associates an increase in people of a specific skin color with more crimes. You are correct that it doesn't say "causes", but the skin-color/crime association is clearly made. Making statements that associate skin color with crimes is called bigotry in other cases. It should be treated the same here.
According to this article, having too many people of a specific skin color in an area causes crime. Does Slashdot really want to endorse that kind of retrograde prejudice?
Makes sense. How about a hybrid approach with a lighter-than-air vehicle shaped to generate lift? Does the extra size needed for the lighter than air gasses cause more loss from drag than it saves by reducing the energy needed to stay aloft?
Why is it taking people "years" to "learn to code"? That's the part that seems wasteful. You don't need to be a "computer scientist" to write useful code.
It's not about any other country. The goal of the regulation is to prevent Americans from having access to 3D printed guns and to intimidate any American who would design one of these guns.
The best answer is for people outside the US to create these designs and post them online.
If "austerity" isn't the answer, what is? How do you propose the Greek government start running a surplus? Should they spend less? Tax more? What's the non-discredited answer?
"Allegations of police misconduct and widespread false arrests could not be verified by reporters because arrest records in cases where charges are ultimately dropped were made private in 2015."
The real answer is to make the original records easily viewable on an official government web site, but mandate that "CHARGES DROPPED" or "NOT GUILTY" or some other exculpatory language clearly appear whenever they are viewed.
Also helpful: fewer laws and fewer police. Every action and inaction doesn't need to be regulated and policed by petty government officials. Save the policing for theft and violence and let us otherwise live our lives as we choose.

So, maybe [our driving actions] should be policed.
The justification for policing actions is "danger". When danger is less, there's less justification for policing actions.
Driving is safer due to little things like mandatory seatbelt laws.
Seatbelts help in crashes because of "actions" the same as they help in any other type of crashes. Danger is less.
Just because driving is safer now than ever before does not justify someone txting on a phone while driving.
But it does justify less aggressive policing of driving in general. We shouldn't have to bear the burden of enforcing as many rules and having them enforced upon us when the dangers are low and dropping all the time.

Because the world would come to an end if a 20 meter section of road burns.
Unless there's a short-haired lesbian wookie I'm boycotting. We need to stand strong for tolerance.

But why not just use a lighter-than-air vehicle and stay aloft for months?
Even if per capita driving has peaked, the population is increasing, so total driving is still increasing.

wholesale gun violence in the united states as a manifestation of the permanent race based caste and class system inequality in the united states..
Once Obama finally becomes President, that will be solved and the racial healing can begin.

Lots more about what isn't the answer. But what is the answer? And why should anyone believe Greece will implement whatever you think is the answer?
AIG claims they paid all the money back and more. Is it true? Polifact says mostly true.
Greece may or may not be small potatoes. But what's the Greek plan to pay anyone back?
If "austerity" isn't the answer, what is? How do you propose the Greek government start running a surplus? Should they spend less? Tax more? What's the non-discredited answer?
What was the defining characteristic of the old generation?
