Violating unjust laws as a form of protest only works when people publicly suffer the consequences. It's only then that popular opinion turns and the laws are collectively viewed as unjust. Violating without getting caught is just about personal gain, not social change.
Games have become increasingly immune from piracy because demand, whether organic or manufactured, has shifted largely toward multiplayer, and that's much easier to secure.
I actually blame Google for allowing this attack vector. If Google, Amazon, and Apple won't focus on security on their own, then hopefully some deliberate prodding will help them focus on it. That may not be Burger King's intent, but it should be the outcome. As easy as it is to play audio from a website without user consent, it's just a matter of time until we see these methods used for truly malicious attacks. An out-of-band attack to identify Tor users, perhaps? A late-night ad that advised viewers to say "Ok Google, call 1-900...," which "inadvertently" triggered just those calls? Using Wikipedia (which anyone can edit, of course), to create a custom page that exploited a buffer overflow vulnerability in the Text-to-Speech engine, perhaps? Rule number one of security is to never trust arbitrary user input, but from all appearances, these voice recognition devices and apps do just that.
Shame on these companies for not having better security from day one. Security must be a forethought, not an afterthought. Apparently that's a lesson that needs to be learnt over and over again.
Addiction is mostly about getting that dopamine hit, and anything that can trigger it can become addictive. In most of life, that hit is moderated by something -- eating has fullness, playing and exploring have physical fatigue, and repeating the same thing over and over (even sex) becomes boring after a while. Addiction can happen when there's little or no moderating factors. Addictive substances continue to provide a hit no matter what (although it may take increasing quantities to achieve the same result). Eating has a physical limit, although some people push that limit as far as they can. So-called adrenaline junkies (really dopamine) take larger and larger risks, sometimes with fatal consequences.
Rehab is all about finding different ways to find enjoyment, which really boils down to less self-destructive dopamine hits. Bonding with others in healthy ways, engaging in physical activities, creative projects, and then cementing those behavioral changes with first external and then internal reinforcement. Addiction isn't a flaw of character, it's an inherent vulnerability in our dopamine-motivated existence.
On top of that, what use is a tool that can never be used for it's stated goal: finding and prosecuting criminals?! Presumably they would dismiss any charges where a defendant performed due diligence in discovery, which should be all of them. The FBI seems to want to have their cake and eat it too.
I can't speak to the setup in question, but overall value is usually my metric rather than pure price. For the past decade, Intel has typically provided more performance per dollar for their CPUs at lower power consumption and heat generation. If Ryzen manages to change that dynamic, then that's a win for everyone.
Do you believe that business and merchants existed long before liability protections? If so, then you have evidence that your assertion is false. If not, then history begs to differ.
I'm not saying I like it, or agree with it, but maximizing profits is different from gouging. Maximizing profits is a legal obligation to shareholders for publicly traded companies such Intel. Gouging is the exploitation of exigent circumstances such as a natural disaster in order to maximize profits. Gouging is unethical, and in some cases illegal, but it's not what Intel was doing.
Too powerful for what? Nobody shoved a Tesla or a Porsche down anyone's throat. This was a deliberate choice on the part of the buyer and/or driver. And the driver was 27, not a 21 year-old excited to have access to alcohol.
The problem here was a series of poor choices on the part of the owners and drivers of the vehicles in question. Companies should not be liable for those poor decisions, nor should the government restrict access to anything that can be dangerous when used irresponsibly, because the list of things that *can't* kill us is 0 items long. Sure, driving tests should be much, much more stringent, but competence is no substitute for using good judgment either, and tooling around at 0.21 BAC is well outside the realm of good judgment.
If manufacturing jobs inherently made countries great (at all), then China and southeast Asia would be The Best. What made America great during the golden years of blue-collar workers wasn't manufacturing per-se, it was in finding productive use of a workforce which happened to be manufacturing at the time. Today, the economy is more focused on services than products[1], and we should be focusing on how to expand service jobs rather than easily outsourced and automated manufacturing jobs.
By the way, unemployment is below 5%[2], which is quite healthy. More important than jobs is that wages for all jobs are above a subsistence level so that people actually have discretionary funds at the end of the day. We don't necessarily need more jobs (although there's nothing wrong with having them), but we *do* need better wages. Adding jobs (and demand for labor) is one way of achieving that, but it's not the only way. Minimum wage is another. Capping CEO and executive total compensation as a multiple of company-average pay is another. And for what it's worth, I'm not someone who needs better wages, but I recognize that it's important nonetheless.
It seems like the best solution in this case is to simply admit defeat -- that autofill profiles aren't a good idea -- and remove the feature. Your workaround, and others proposed, suffer from the weakness that they're more complicated and higher-risk than simply typing the information into the appropriate fields, the way God intended.
Yeah, I'm sure they didn't bother doing any CBA or before building a $5B factory. Hopefully someone at Tesla will see your post and save their business before it's too late!
Their oath isn't to the president - it's to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America.
It is, but they serve "at the pleasure of the President," and that's deeply ingrained -- more-so in non-military agencies, actually, which aren't bound by international law. In other words. they're political. For better and for worse. How do you think we got warrantless wiretaps, extraordinary rendition, enhanced interrogation, and extra-judicial executions? It wasn't by worrying too much about the Constitution.

Sorry you had a bad experience. Your experience is far from universal, however.

All available evidence shows that they surpass human competence in real-world driving.
The old comics are as relevant as ever. It's actually pretty funny to see how little has changed in the software consulting business.

Google is not a truth finder; it's an internet search engine. Finding truth is, as always, an exercise left for the reader.

D.C.'s laws must be approved by Congress, so it's still under Federal jurisdiction in that regard.

In theory, ground-based systems could be faster, but in practice the connection is typically so swamped that latency is atrocious.
Assuming you have more than one finger, and especially if you have an alibi, it shouldn't be terribly difficult.
Or, take a picture of something from 3meters away and see what you get when you load that image onto a computer and zoom in to it.
Obviously you have to enhance after zooming. If you continue enhancing, you can zoom in to any image indefinitely.

Apple didn't have the market cornered on portable consumer electronics back then, and the Mac was all they had. It's a very different story today.
