If you're interviewing for a job and the interviewer offers you coffee, be sure to take cream and sugar even if you normally don't. Otherwise you might be signalling you're a psychopath or sadist. Of course, the reverse advice applies if you are applying for a police or correctional officer position.
Even if it was a Florida based company, the NHTSA would almost certainly still have jurisdiction. You see, the federal government will often provide funding for roads, and one of the conditions of accepting that funding is that everything that happen on those roads be under the supervision of the NHTSA. And I'd be willing to bet a pay check or two that Florida has accepted federal funding for their roads.
Generally, the federal government only provides funding for the Interstate highway system, and it's unlikely this bus was on such a highway. Even then, the feds power to regulate is quire limited. A few decades ago, the federal government tried to pass a nationwide 55 mph speed limit and threatened to cut off highway funding for any states which did not comply. So many states simply turned down the funding that the program was eventually scrapped.
"So why did the feds shut down this project while allowing lots of others to continue...?"
Why are the feds even involved? This isn't a issue regarding interstate commerce, which is the most disingenuous excuse they have.
Interstate commerce has generally been considered by the courts to include international commerce, and this is a French company doing business in Florida. If this were a Florida based company, I would agree, the feds would have no jurisdiction.
So, no more good food for you then? (cause it's bad for you)
Not a good analogy. Unhealthy food is potentially bad only for you, not for others around you. Driving a car manually, can increase risks not only to yourself, to the passengers in all the self-driving cars around you.
What's next? Going to charge government contractors for doing option trading if they hear a government manager say a huge contract is about to be pulled? This is not what insider trading is supposed to be about,
Actually, that's exactly what insider trading is supposed to be about. Anytime you make stock market investment decisions (including sometimes, the decision not to buy or sell stock you otherwise would have) based on information that is not available to the general public, not matter how you obtained that information, you have committed insider trading. What did you think it means?
Why do we constantly keep trying to FUCK with the food supply?
Because the population of our planet has grown way, way beyond what can be fed by traditional means. Famine and starvation have been greatly reduced within the last couple of decades due to new technologies in food production.
What, is "wiretap, but on a computer" any different than "wiretap on a physical phone line"?
The difference is in the law. There are laws that require telecommunications companies to allow law enforcement wiretaps with a warrant, but there is no similar law covering software based messenging applications.
How the fuck you gonna send someone to JAIL just for writing fake reviews? How is that shit even ILLEGAL?
Fucking EU nanny-state.
The same thing would be illegal in the U.S. It's called "wire fraud". The term "wire" refers to the fact that it takes place over an interstate communications system (this goes back to the days of telephone and telegraph), and is thus under federal jurisdiction. The term "fraud" means saying or publishing information known to be false for profit and to the detriment of others. Writing fake reviews would not be fraud; selling fake reviews is. This could land you some serious jail time over here.
But he's far less of an evil than Holocaust deniers and actual Nazis.
Actual Nazis, yes. Holocaust deniers, no. Actual Nazis were dangerous not because of their words, but their actions. It was the fact that they murdered millions of innocent people that made them evil and dangerous, not their speech. Holocaust deniers are not nearly as dangerous as those that would attempt to control the teaching of history through legislation.
Okay, I think I understand what you're saying, but it sounds like this could only happen if there is a very badly designed system which appends data from an untrusted source to data from a trusted source and compresses them together. It would seem a trivial fix would be to start the compression algorithm fresh whenever the source of the data changes.
A good encryption algorithm should be able to protect any data, regardless of whether or not it is compressed. If compressing data before encryption renders the encryption algorithm insecure, I would suggest the algorithm was weak to begin with. Perhaps better, newer algorithms are needed. I'd be wary of a solution that just says "turn off compression and you'll be fine."
I don't know anyone who still uses Skype. Everyone has moved to WhatsApp or Facebook's Messenger.
Although there is a desktop version of WhatsApp, it is still tied to your phone. In other words, you still need to have it installed on your phone and you need to provide a phone number for it to work. Not everyone wants to have their messaging app tied to their phone number. And many people do not want to have a Facebook account at all due to numerous privacy concerns.

How can a search by the plaintiff itself be ruled legal? This should be the police's job.
The police are only involved in criminal matters. This is a civil suit. Read about Anton Piller orders.

People are objecting, but is it a bad code of conduct?
It requires celibacy, so is in effect a no-op.
What difference would that make in a coding project?

Microsoft created Windows and Allen co-founded Microsoft - he cannot wipe that blood off his hands!
But you can wipe Windows off your hard drive, so I don't get your point. Paul Allen was a great guy in many, many ways.
Bad news. Your router was made in China and rebranded!
What about Liability?
I'm sure self-driving cars would have to be insured for liability just like any other car.
1. A cursory search on google says the accusation was for 1982, I can't be bothered to look more closely for a specific date.
You won't find one. Ford doesn't remember the date (not surprising actually). But she also doesn't remember the location, which is really weird.
Especially since she remembered very specifically having exactly one beer to drink that evening.

So when the accuser shows emotion, it makes her more credible, and when the accused shows emotion, it makes him less credible?
Because some of our clients have specialized equipment with interface software that only runs on Windows?
That may be true in some cases, but I bet the vast majority of Windows installations are on systems without any special hardware at all.

My personal Android phone is ancient, with no data plan, is never connected to wifi ... good luck getting location data out of that.
The location data comes from the phone's GPS unit, not the wifi or data.
Rather than trying to make C "less dangerous", why not use a language like Rust? Wasn't it designed to essentially be a less dangerous C?
The south can continue to use Kerosene and Whale Oil, of course.
Hey, I like my whale oil lamp. It provides a nice warm, soft light to read by while I lie in bed at night reading Moby Dick.

Nearly every law expert disagrees with you.
Correction: That should read "Nearly every law expert featured on CNN disagrees with you."

False. I got access to the Internet in 1984, when 99.99% of the public had no access, and there were severe restrictions on what you could say or do.
Really? Who exactly was doing the restricting? This is the first I'm hearing of this.
Commercial activity was illegal.
Can you cite a statute? I know of no such law, and I'm pretty sure such a law never existed.
