Not true, and we do this with almost all employee training. The employee is required to sign a document that states they'll have to reimburse the company should they quit within a specified time period.
"Well, at least I have learned that American cars may actually have brake-by-wire, fair enough. In the developed world, there are safety requirements, like a redundant physical link between the brake pedal and the actual brakes, that has to work regardless of failure of one of the brake-supporting systems."
Ah, and there it is. Love that elitist "In the developed world", and yet you couldn't be bothered to know anything outside of your bubble, or be bothered to look it up when your error was pointed out. And even when it's put right in front of you, you shrug it off and are insulting...fwiw, I lived in your "developed world" for six years...you've got nothing on us. It's okay, we forgive you.
This explains the response to trump victory. Seriously.
FTFY. Seriously, I have a couple close friends who've told me that their millennial aged kids called them in tears after the election. Fucking snowflakes, learn to deal with it. And, for the record, I didn't vote for him.
With parents who decided to try and be their kids BFFs, and with schools that hand out participation ribbons, it's no wonder kids grow up not learning how to deal with adversity. Then suddenly after four years of partying in college, they're left with a huge pile of debt, and limited job prospects, and poor coping mechanisms. I'd be willing to bet that the demographics also point mostly toward middle to upper class millennials for the increase in issues. Of course, there's still a large cohort of baby boomers who've been unable to make a decent living since they got fired during the recession...sure, they're probably working, but I said "decent" living.
So this article links to a story here, and on the very same page, NHTSA links to the remote exploits story below. Someone there needs to connect the dots.
it might make rush hour traffic jams less stressful if some music can be shared among drivers in their cars in some sort of mesh network
What would be really slick is if I could turn down the volume of the music in the car next to mine while waiting at the traffic light.
Or my jackass neighbor kid, who drives by my home twice a day with his windows down and volume cranked way up...occasionally very early or very late. One of these days I'm going to video him and have the local PD send him a ticket for breaking the noise ordinance.
"I make no claim that this V2V system should be depended upon instead of actually looking at the traffic ahead."
Yes, but people do become dependent and lazy. They get lulled into that sense of security that the system will save their ass, so they can keep looking away at their cell phone, doing their makeup, etc. Case in point...blind spot warning systems. They're great, but not perfect, and you see it all the time where people don't look over their shoulders anymore.
I had a buddy who bought a broke down '69 Camero with an old Sears battery...they came with lifetime warranties. Sears gave him a new battery, no questions asked. That battery had probably sat in the car for a dozen years. But, I get your point...it's extremely unlikely.
How will this affect those "lifetime" warranties? How old would you need to be to retire?...any pension not adjusted for inflation would end up being worthless over time. How old would you need to be to collect Social Security? There would have to be adjustments made. Could I still get the senior discounts at age 60? Would this reverse my baldness? Could I get it up again w/o Viagra?
". People who are worried about this Autonomous car "tracking" need to pull the license plate off of their cars, and destroy all of the VIN numbers. You can be tracked by that as well. Oh, maybe they should use drag racing slicks as well. People can be tracked by tire prints."
None of that gives live tracking capability. Sure, if a cop drives by with one of those scanners, they can ID your vehicle, and a minute later you could be untracked a mile away. I all but guarantee that there will be systems set up to allow officials to locate any vehicle at any time. Now, do I care about authorities having that ability?...not so much. I'm more concerned with the security and potential for abuse.
Yeah, it already exists, and is overly sensitive in several vehicles that I've driven. But then I take corners harder than most. The brake warning on my car comes on frequently on cloverleaf ramps.
You're the one who jumped to the completely illogical conclusion that people want their employees desperate. Nobody else here stated that. Far from it in fact, a desperate employee is probably distracted by whatever is causing their issue. To my knowledge, none of my ~50 employees are in that category.
This is kind of the reason we dont like hiring people with family money. They have no commitment to the job. We need to be able to plan on the person being around to do their job when the going gets tough.
In other words, we want them desperate, not invested!
If they're invested then they would be committed. What I really want in an employee is someone who's going to take ownership of whatever tasks I give them.
Not certain of your definition of filthy rich, but there are many small business owners at the $10M level who got there simply by working their asses off...my dad, uncle, and close family friend all started off poor, and did this. They take risks that others are either afraid, or don't have the insight to do. Many of them live a miserly life...read The Millionaire Next Door (written in '96)...you'll need to adjust for inflation.
As a single father, I'm saddened to read that you have no motivation. Been there, done that myself for seven years. If you can't find it in you to get off your ass for the kid(s), you should give them up to someone who does.
"I do many things for a buck, but I wouldn't do what I presently do. I would like to think I'd be productive and busy, but I would be doing the parts of the job I want to do, and either abdicating or paying someone to do the nasty stuff."
A gold star for the best guess as to what he does, and what the "nasty stuff" is.
"Ohhhhh. When you say "I've seen people...." what you really mean is that you once heard a story about "this here guy who won the lottery and spent it all". No research. No knowledge. No thought. Just repeat what you think might be true and hope we swallow the story."
You weren't too lazy to write an uninformed complaint, but were too lazy to google for yourself. Go figure. I'll start you off with this one, you can google others. http://www.usnews.com/news/art...
What LGW said. AC, how long have you been doing it? Have you survived the down markets?...crash of '88?...internet bubble?...great recession? FWIW, I have been investing since '82. It's been easy to make money in the market for the last few years...my 401k is up 15%, and it's mostly all in the S&P, so low fees, and no work on my part. But, as you get close to big financial events (new mortgage, putting the kids through college, etc.), it's not prudent to risk the market volatility.

I've been in two Fortune 500 companies, and my wife has worked for five...all of them offered paid education (up to a limit of $5-10k/yr).
Why, in the early universe, did antimatter lose out to regular old matter?"
Was it a race to the event horizon?

Inability to differentiate between fact and fantasy is as well.

You mean Bush inherited the end of the internet bubble. Oh, and then you'll probably blame him for 9/11 and the housing bubble.
