but don't require that driver to pretend to be driving.
The regulations don't say that. They say precisely this: "Test drivers and operators should be conscious of their appearance to other road users, for example continuing to maintain gaze directions appropriate for normal driving."
It's a perfectly reasonable requirement. A "driver" not looking where the car is going, or doing some other bizarre action would distract and alarm other road users. And such distraction could cause an accident.
Note also that these are not rules for production autonomous vehicles, when the public might be more aware of what's going on. They are for test-drivers, at a time when many people won't be aware of the tests.
As usual the real stupidity is in the Slashdot summary and the knee-jerk reaction of some posters.
In the car safety too, Europe has generally been ahead of America. Things like mandating seat belts, air bags, crash tests. Regulation is vital for road going vehicles.
When an industry manages to escape this yoke (e.g. mobile), the pace of innovation is dizzying expressly because the future is unscripted and the path there is allowed to be messy.
Bad example. During the GSM era, Europe was way ahead for the USA in mobile telephony. Because governments were involved in standardising GSM in the European market, but in the USA the free market introduced many incompatible standards. It wasn't until Europe picked up on the free market fever, and governments stopped taking the lead, that Europe mobile telephony slowed down and the USA caught up.
You can't introduce the "revolutionary" new product and not have the killer use-case for it.
Of course you can. VisiCalc didn't come along until 2 years after the Apple II debuted. PageMaker didn't come along until a year after the Apple Mac. And those were the killer apps for those computers.
I'm not sure what would count as the killer app for the PC. Maybe Microsoft Word? That was probably the most used app before the internet came along. Well the first version of Microsoft Word came along 2 years after the first IBM PC.
The smartwatch has always felt like a gimmick with little utility for most people.
I think that's fair. The question is: is the minority that does one big enough to make it a worthwhile product. And failing that, will there be a killer app that comes along later that does make the majority want one.
We'll know the answer to the first question tomorrow. Might take a couple of years for the second.
He created an iOS game with terrible graphics and gameplay!
It's a game for girls. As you don't appear to be a girl, what the fuck would you know?
You are so insecure, you find it a threat that some games are not written with you in mind.
And you're a bigot about transexuals too. What a pathetic excuse for a human being you are. If you are older than 12, you should be ashamed at your immaturity.
Are you saying the final, literal number of euros spent by the Greek government decreased each year?
Yes.

You don't understand the difference between nominal and real. The " final, literal number of euros" is the "nominal" line on your chart. And as you see it started going down in 2009.
Everything else is just people agitating about not getting their free stuff, which apparently, somehow, they have a civil right to.
You don't even understand what the words mean. You're just parroting.
Does your mom understand how the car and the phone works? Does everyone's mom? Why should those moms that don't understand not be allowed to use a car and a phone?
Your argument makes no sense. It's just the arrogance of a computer geek that has no empathy for people who's knowledge is of different topics.
And it's an excuse for sub-standard software (such as Windows and PHP, since you mention them).
It is not the dev's fault that the user is stupid.
Not knowing what a "service" or a "daemon" or a "TSR" is on a computer doesn't mean people are stupid, let alone on a phone.
People shouldn't have to know how a computer works to operate it, any more than they should need to know how an internal combustion engine works to drive a car.
If a phone requires a user to know what a "service" is, and that service is something other than what they pay from from the phone network, then it's an incompetent design.
Deleting the app that you used to change a system-level setting used by other apps should NOT change the setting.
The problem then is allowing an app to change a system setting. You have no separation of concerns here. and in such a situation the user can't reasonably be expected to intuitively learn how the system works.
I said earlier, don't attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by incompetence. And here the incompetence is in the system design.
It's not at all obvious that a process that you turn on in an app continues to happen when the app is uninstalled. The most obvious mental model is that the app is the thing that performs the process.
Now it may be that you have some technical knowledge of how it actually works in Android. The implementation details. But this is a phone. Such knowledge of implementation decisions shouldn't be expected or required.
Your analogy just shows that you don't understand the problem. A TV switched on is very obvious. And it's not a privacy issue. The problem described by the OP is not obvious, and is a privacy problem.
You cannot conclude through any logical process that: 1) the EU is still dealing with Greece because they want to execute a regime change; 2) the EU has now been shown they can't have it; 3) therefore, the current Greek regime is in a stronger negotiating position. But (3) does not follow from (1) and (2)
I never said 3 follows from 1 and 2. But all three are true. Perhaps the ingredient that you're missing is that the Euro is a German and French plan more than anything. If the Eurozone fails, they lose big time. And if Greece falls out of the Eurozone it may be like toppling dominos. That's why Greece is in a stronger position than you imagine.
This is the fundamental principle of the EU. People must be treated the same by a country no matter where in the EU they are from. So if Germany pay unemployment benefits but require healthcare payment from it's own citizens then that exactly what it must offer and require from any other EU citizen that is currently resident in Germany.
No, that doesn't work. In the EU, you claim your unemployment benefits in the country you last worked.
That's absolutely not true. All benefits are paid by the country you are resident in.
It isn't clear whether countries like Germany are obligated to pay welfare under EU law, so obtaining benefits is likely to be difficult for out of work EU citizens coming to Germany.
It's perfectly clear. Germane or France or any other EU country have to pay benefits to any EU resident according to the same rules as they pay to a national resident.
Sorry, I hadn't realized how stupid your suggestion was and how ignorant you were of European rules.
Being unemployed in Greece, then either they would be unemployed in Germany/France which doesn't require knowing the language. Or they'll get a get a job which doesn't require knowing the language.
Or, get this, they already know German or French. Some people speak foreign languages you know.
Unemployment is high in Greece. How about encouraging unemployed Greeks to move to Germany or France. Then they will have to pay the welfare, not the Greek government.

Better than being an cunt like you.
I understand that, but how is the phone user informed of that?

Who said anything about labour? No requirements to be unemployed.
Varoufakis told it like it is. That's not being an asshole, that's being honest.
It makes all the difference in the world. The creditors want regime change. They've just been shown they can't have it.
they probably consider all Greeks to be idiots.
I'm afraid you're projecting there.
On the other hand living for a while in a foreign country can be a fantastic experience. I had a 2 of the best years of my life when I did it.
