It depends on the app, I suppose. Some car manufacturers actually thought through this - BMW ConnectedDrive will allow you to lock the doors from your phone without hassle, but the unlock feature requires a phone call where a friendly agent verifies your identity. The function isn't even in the application - it's just a button that dials their 1-800 number.
Compulsory voting just means Mickey Mouse gets a higher percentage of the result, and creates make-work bureaucracy for fining / jailing non compliant citizens.
The Powerwall and Powerpack are completely different products. Powerwall = residential and small commercial, Powerpack = industrial and grid-scale battery storage.
Because there is no way that all this fake lotion came from the same no-account cheap shit manufacturer.
I guarantee all this shit comes from the same factory, and that company will be sued into oblivion shortly by these same retailers who will happily take the factories as payment, and then change the labeling to comply with fraud and labeling statutes.
There's also the idea that a retailer who puts their own name on the packaging might want to have some accountability in their own supply chain, and keep their in-house brand manufacturing honest.
If you go to Wal-mart and buy Wal-mart branded products that are horseshit, Wal-mart gets some blame. If you go to Wal-mart and buy Lazarus's Snake Oil, then its's Lazarus that carries the liability and gets the legal fisting.
Any barrel-aged spirit goes into the barrel at a higher proof than it comes out. The evaporated alcohol is referred to as the "angel's share".
After so long in a barrel, it's likely that all alcohol will have evaporated, so they likely add in fresh ethanol to bring the spirit back to being more than just oak oil, sugar, and water.
Sue them both and sort it out in discovery. If Walmart is not complicit, they will happily throw the manufacturer under the bus and join the suit as a plaintiff.
Stalin didn't even have show trials. There were summary judgements followed by a bullet to the head, or being shipped to a work camp and worked to death building Mother Russia.
We were going to get a self-enriching president regardless of the outcome. Do you really think the pay-for-play scheduling at the State Dept. wouldn't make it's way to the White House if Hillary won?
They used to be fantastic, a couple generations ago. Now they are garbage that deserves to be wheeled out the back door to the dumpsters. Between the restrictive "utility" at may or may not show you the options you want, and the completely fucked 802.1x support... good riddance.
I wonder if any other car manufacturers build engines that appear by magic, and have ECUs running firmware handed down by God, and absolutely not coded in-house to specs.
How could you possibly believe that VW didn't know, when they are developing a diesel that needs to pass emissions tests, which it doesn't, right up until it magically does without mechanically changing anything on the engine, or adding an exhaust treatment system like every other manufacturer?
"If the underlying OS can't be trusted, what's the value of any encryption on top of that?"
Let me put this file I encrypted with PGP on an anonymous FTP site / dropbox. You can then download it and tell me what's in the file. No wait, you can't, because it's encrypted with an OS-agnostic algorithm and you don't have the key.
The OS doesn't matter if the encryption is implemented in wholesale above the OS. And last I checked, sideloading apps on Android is a thing.
Trinity, the very first man-made nuclear explosion, used Plutonium from the Hanford Engineering Works, created in the B, D, and F reactors. You do know that Plutonium doesn't exist in nature, right? It's either created in a reactor via neutron bombardment of U238, or in a cyclotron.
More than that, the Chicago Pile was the first man-made self-sustaining nuclear reaction (in 1941), and the basis of all reactor design that followed to support the Manhattan Project, which made bombs detonated in 1945.
The FBI usually likes to avoid high profile jailings of people standing up for the rights of the public, because it's the best way to end up with your shit in the street, and politicians that like to get re-elected working the shovels. Jailing Tim Cook over refusing to implement encryption back doors would represent an FBI fuck up in a New York Times headline kind of way. And it's exactly how the FBI would end up with the entire Congressional delegation from California all up in their shit, if not the entire US House of Representatives looking to stay there / move to the other side of the Capitol building.
Both of these suggestions suffer from the same issue: you can't put the shit back in the horse. Encryption is out there, and a reality. If the phone manufacturer compromises their full-disk encryption, then app makers start writing un-compromised encryption into their apps.
Similarly, the surveillance state is our new reality, and it won't be stopped without some pretty major changes happening.

Unless your phone implements proper security and sandboxes each app so exactly this kind of attack can't happen. Like iOS has done for years.

Ask Australia how well compulsory voting works.
Powerwall != Powerpack.

Two different products. One could run your refrigerator in a power outage. The other runs an 18 story office building.

Because diesel is totally shelf-stable and can be used 50 years later, right?
No wait, it goes bad just like any other liquid fuel that sits around for long periods of time.

Who's going to make sure it doesn't continue?
I'm guessing a Federal judge, with a court order after dropping a hundred million dollar punitive judgement on the manufacturer.
Fraud is already illegal...

Incorrect.

That's the kind of thing that comes out in legal discovery, when both the manufacturer and the retailer are named in a lawsuit.
Drop the hammer on everyone involved, and let them throw each other under the bus.
Unless that brand is Volkswagen. Oops.

You know that politicians employ speech writers, right?
You think Trump is going to skip that, as well as fire the ones he had during the campaign?
Don't be ignorant.
Exactly. The netatalk project implemented time machine targeting some time ago. It's widely available through open source implementation.
I guess if you consider a web browser or SSH client to be "external software" then your comment isn't amazingly stupid, but most people don't.

Really.

Reactors very much came before the bombs.

You're very wrong. By several decades. There was a Republican House, Senate, and President only 13 years ago, from 2003 to 2007.
