It's long term enough thinking that the politicians proposing it won't be around to take the blame when it doesn't happen. They are committing the next generation to pull it off, not themselves. So they DO get political benefit without actually doing anything.
Trump had teams of angry people trying to pin him with something/anything. And?
Well, for a concrete item, there's the felony campaign finance violation that Cohen got convicted of where the court documents essentially said they would have indicted Trump but won't while he's president.
Cohen pleaded guilty to avoid more serious unrelated charges. It's very unlikely the payment to Stormy Daniels constituted a campaign finance violation but Mueller wanted Cohen to plead guilty to it to advance the narrative. See https://www.politifact.com/tru... for some discussion on the nuances of this law. Even if it is ultimately determined to be a violation, for something that small the penalty would just be a fine.
The average person gets by just fine with a phone to handle all their computing needs in a way that is about 1000X easier for them than a generic PC
Does "the average person" never write a long email or blog post or forum post? Or does "the average person" prefer to pair a Bluetooth keyboard to a phone?
they can carry it around in their pocket and use it from Starbucks.
That's one reason why I carry a compact laptop: to get work done while waiting for someone in Starbucks.
I agree with you. Even on vacation I bring a laptop. It's miserable trying to search for things and plan an itinerary on a phone. It's like reading through a straw. And typing anything more than a few sentences is ponderous on the phone.
You obviously haven't tried any of the more advanced systems. They are much more than "toys".
I have two cars that both have adaptive cruise control and lane keep assist. While they are not full autonomy...
I've had both of these. They are nice features when they work. They get confused by many common situations, such as bad weather. Regardless, as you said, they are not "full autonomy". You must still be the driver at all times.
I get it... you don't have a basic understanding of what decency is. It's sad. You really should go talk to your parents about why it is they never taught you to be a decent person; run along upstairs and do that right now.
I get it. Your god is the one true god. Any non-believers must be eradicated.
While you're at it, stone the gays and beat the immodest women. Somebody has to teach them decency.
When it comes to cruise control I know I'm driving and I have to make sure the cruise control doesn't run me into another car.
With "autopilot" I'm supposed to be fully aware at all times of what going on while I'm not actually doing anything. Basically it is a neat toy that I can play with to see what it will do. No thanks.
By pointing out reality? Thanks, you're welcome. I am not tolerant of lying sacks of shit, intentional stupidity, or NAZI's and their defenders. No one should be, but some people here in the US don't have any integrity, or honesty, in them.
You represent the new theocracy well. All blasphemers must be eliminated.
You are a fucking idiot. The "left" doesn't hate free speech, and never have. The problem is conservatives do nothing more than play the victim.... if someone tells you your bigoted asinine bullshit can't be posted on THEIR platform, you start whining like the victim you see yourself being. You try to be authoritarian little shits everywhere, and when some big company tells you to pound sand, you start trying to make every stupid excuse in the book why that's wrong.
It's THEIR platform... THEIR company...and they can tell you to fuck off if the want.
And the next time you want to say what the "left" wants or likes or whatever... just remember, you're too big of a fucking partisan piece of shit to actually know. And yes, FASCISM is what the conservatives and the GOP have been since 1994. You obviously don't have a fucking clue what it is, our you're just a natural born lying sack of shit.
Thank you for your perfect example of the open-minded and tolerant left.
One more time, why do the loonies that pass for conservatives these days insist on being reliant upon a bunch of us hated 'libtards' for a place from which to propagate their beliefs? They are perfectly free to set up their own rivals to Facebook, Google and Twitter
You would think so, but you haven't been deplatformed yet and then found that other platforms that were open to you are being harassed out of business by the same thought police.
You're O.K. with this bullshit because you aren't the one getting attacked yet for thought crimes. Don't be too smug though because things can change fast. Like for this guy: https://quillette.com/2018/07/...
How about instead she proposes the "Politian Accountability Act"?
"The Politician Accountability Act is yet another push from Warren who has focused much of her presidential campaign on holding corporations and their leaders responsible for both their market dominance and perceived corruption. The bill, if approved, would widen criminal liability of "negligent" politicians when they commit crimes, repeatedly break federal laws, or harm a large number of Americans by way of civil rights violations, including their data privacy. "When a criminal on the street steals money from your wallet, they go to jail. When small-business owners cheat their customers, they go to jail," Warren wrote in a Washington Post op-ed published on Wednesday morning. "But when politicians oversee huge frauds that hurt tens of thousands of people, they often get to walk away with multimillion-dollar payouts."
Well, I'm 52... I _had_ all those diseases kids in our days get vaccinated against. Perhaps if child doctors don't insist hard enough, young parents (20, 30 years old) who never had those diseases (probably never saw/met one having them) simply underestimate the risks?
Exactly right. They grew up in an age where these diseases had been eradicated and they have no idea what life was like before.
In the USA vaccine makers have blanket immunity from lawsuit. You can not sue them due to harm, vaccine makers have no accountability. If you were a profit making corporation with no liability for harm, would you maybe give less of a crap sometimes and maybe use the old familiar trick of adding mercury to boost the vaccine production in some batches? Maybe, who cares if you did? No one can sue you for damages!
This system was created to insure vaccine makers would continue creating vaccines. It is fallout from the incident at Cutter labs where their polio vaccine was produced according to government guidelines but still gave some people polio. The company was sued for negligence even though they hadn't actually been negligent.
There seems to be an implication that it was just a cover story to cover the illegal source of the information. I don't know if that's true, but that's what I think de Becker is suggesting.
Why would her brother lie to protect the Enquirer?
Not sure when you were a mechanic, but ABS, Airbags, security, etc, etc usually require dealer diagnostic tools to reset warnings. Some stuff can be done with generic ODB tools, but many things can't. Add to that a tractor has a whole lot of hydraulic systems that a car doesn't, and there is a lot of scope for needing to be able to update settings held in the ECU or related control units.
I think you are confusing what they mean by "reprogram" (although plenty of places will do reprogramming of maps on ECUs, it often requires an aftermarked ECU anyway).
I've worked on all this. As I wrote, I do not know what the situation is with regards to tractor diagnostic tool availability from the manufacturer or aftermarket.
Reading live and freeze-frame diagnostics and resetting diagnostic codes is in no way "reprogramming". I think the article author is confused (or is deliberately confusing) the line is between legitimate diagnostic interaction and modding.
True. but it is easier finding the error if you have the right interface and software. After having my type-r at the official dealer 3 times and $2000 later without them actually being able to fix my ac which only worked for 10 minutes after starting the car, I managed to diagnose it in 20 minutes using the repair manual and a the official interface and software myself. (Worm down clutch basic really) I wonder how long it would have taken them not to fix it. I gave he idiots a detailed description and asked them to drive it for 20 minutes afterwards to test it out. Iâ(TM)ll just leave the name here for google to index. It was Henrik Larsen Automobiler now called P. Christensen. Overpriced wankers.
Lots of shops have limited expertise. They are just parts-changers. It's rough on the consumers.
The article mentioned service manuals were available but did not mention diagnostic tools. There is a big difference between diagnostics and ECU modding/reflashing. Some speed shops do it, like http://www.ivansperformancepro... . I'm planning to do this for one of my rides, but it definitely voids the warranty.
- No resetting immobilizer systems. - No reprogramming electronic control units or engine control modules. - No changing equipment or engine settings that might negatively affect emissions or safety. - No downloading or accessing the source code of any proprietary embedded software.
Which doesn't sound out of line. That article then goes on to say:
"These restrictions are enormous. If car mechanics couldn’t reprogram car computers, a good portion of modern repairs just wouldn’t be possible. When you hire a mechanic to fix the air-conditioning in a Civic, they may have to reprogram the electronic control unit."
I was a mechanic for years and this is complete nonsense. No typical repair shop reprograms ECU's. Even if you could it would probably violate the warranty.

No, Twitter is completely different.
Twitter gets significant legal protection from what gets posted to their site because they have an obligation to allow free speech..
Twitter doesn't allow free speech

It's an apartment if you rent/lease it. It's a Condo if you own it. What the hell does being rich have to do with anything?
Apartment describes a type of dwelling, not a type of ownership.
Condominium and co-op are types of ownership

keep doing what you're doing, with ... Apple genuine parts, reliable parts supply, and Apple process and training.
Having an option to get genuine parts would be great, but I fully expect an aftermarket to be created with much cheaper options.

Serious question, what is it that farmers cant do? From this "wired" article,
https://www.wired.com/story/jo...
- No resetting immobilizer systems.
- No reprogramming electronic control units or engine control modules.
- No changing equipment or engine settings that might negatively affect emissions or safety.
- No downloading or accessing the source code of any proprietary embedded software.

So you won't mind if I put my 10-foot tall sign saying you have anal sex with sheep on your front lawn?.
Why do your fantasies all seem to involve farm animals?
Blocking shit that gets children killed is ok by me. If these idiots need money they should find their own site.
Oh, It's about the children! What was I thinking.
Just remember, that same argument is used to justify a lot of things you will disagree with.
Instagram's recommendations were consistent with the interests expressed. I fail to see what the problem is here.
This may not be "fake news", but it is garbage.
Some historical documentaries about what life was right before vaccination came about, perhaps?
Check out the book "The Cutter Incident", it covers this well.
