"automaker's emissions scandal could end up being a boon if it pushes governments and the industry to reassess diesel's impact more honestly and move away from it altogether."
So, the author has already decided on what the result should be, without the benefit of the reassessment they've said should happen. That doesn't seem "honest" to me.
"But the mouse is still a registered trademark. And you will lose. They'll go after you for trademark infringement."
How does trademark infringement apply if not using the character to identify a competing good or service? Do you claim that no one can publish a picture of an apple with a bite missing, because it's a trademark of Apple?
It was _his choice_ to take a job which Amazon made available. Are you suggesting that instead of working, he should have moved to a non-urban area and taken to subsistence farming? Or that he should have sat on a couch and collected social welfare?

...abusing temp workers status to get out of paying for healthcare and unemployment benefits
From one of the articles:
"When the warehouse opened its doors in 2012," writes Jamieson, "there were about 37,000 unemployed people living within a 30-minute drive; in nearby Richmond, more than a quarter of residents were living in poverty."
Yet, all the SJWs want to yell "Oh! Come and see the violence inherent in the system! Help, help, I'm being repressed!"
"The difference is that a router is purposefully built with the necessary hardware to perform in hardware routing."
No. A router interconnects connects broadcast domains, i.e. it works at layer 3. It doesn't matter if the routing occurs in hardware or software. An "L3 switch" is market speak for a router which can work at (close to) wirespeed, although in most cases is very limited in the protocols it can support (try to find a wirespeed DECnet router).
Multiport bridges are called switches. The Kalpana was connected like a DELNI hub, but was called a switch because its operation is analogous to a crosspoint switch, it can forward unmodified frames between multiple ports simultaneously.
When the term "L3 switch" came out there were already routers on the market which had multiple CPUs and were able to simultaneously forward between multiple ports. When routing moved into silicon so it could work at near wirespeed, they were marketed as L3 switches to imply they had the performance of a switch.
In practice, most routers can also bridge (switch) between ports, so they can also act as switches. But "L3 switch" isn't technically correct for a unicast router, it has to modify the frames, so it's not switching them. Technically, a multicast router might be correctly called an L3 switch, but that's not a common distinction, and the term isn't used that way.
No, technically they're routers (or gateways, if you want to use the IETF term). Switches are multiport bridges. "L3 switch" is a marketing term, created when wirespeed routing in hardware became available, in order to market them as having throughput comparable to switches.
If you check out the product mentioned in the summary (Turris Omnia), they call it "open source hardware," but there's no schematic or reference design offered or even promised, they don't mention what if any network ASICs it uses - so how is it "open hardware?" Their previous offering, "Router Turris," despite having a reference design and being claimed as "open source hardware", used the Qualcomm QCA8337N-AL3C, so it isn't really open hardware, either, and is much more closed than hardware which doesn't require binary blobs to work (well). If I document a Juniper SRX in a box with an Arduino connected to its console port, can I then call it "open source hardware?"
Broadcom has the lion's share of the market for network ASICs, and is very much a closed environment. So, there you'd find all sorts of binary blobs. The Soekris' (there are no doubt similar ones from others) are really embedded PCs, with good open source driver support much like a PC. But they provide more ports with lower power, smaller footprint, and lower cost than trying to configure a PC for anything but the simplest routing. Soekris' uses the Intel 82574L Ethernet IC, which is supported by the open source e1000e driver.
It's not clear what the use case is (in the near term) for home routing with multi-GB throughput. Isn't firewall/NAT/VPN the main need, with non-routing/bridging services (DHCP, DNS, print/file sharing etc.) tacked on for convenience since consumers seem to think that "routers" do more than divide broadcast domains.
Beyond which, it already exists. Soekris is an example. Not "open hardware" for the design itself, but open in the sense that it supports open software development (e.g. on FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD and Linux).
"One of the main advantages of EVs is that you don't need to take 10 minutes out of your day to park and wait for hydrocarbons to flow into a tank."
ITYM "10 minutes out of your week." vs. 10 minutes out of each day finding a spot with charging near where "you're stopped for another reason anyway," getting the cable out, plugging, unplugging and stowing the cable. If that's an advantage, it's one for gasoline powered vehicles.
"Yeah, I'm sure, a few rogue software guys got together and said"...

"$250k tickets * say 10,000 = $2,500,000,000 into the net economy. Let's say that 15% of that is operations that's still $375m back into the economy in the form of wages. "
Does it hurt when you pull such large numbers out of your ass?
Exactly, and a very large stretch at that. The article doesn't even offer a guess as to what these "sensors that a noncheating car might not need" are. Steering angle sensor - used for stability control. Individual wheel speed - used for ABS. Throttle position - used for drive by wire. What else is needed to tell that the car is being run on a dyno and not the road? EGR control is a common part of diesel emissions controls.
The author stated "I mention hardware because it widens the scope of the Volkswagen conspiracy." No, it doesn't, not unless you can point to specific hardware which would otherwise not exist.
Apparently, Physics Today doesn't require actual knowledge.
You make no sense. The summary says "Samsung has decided to patch only for recent devices running Android Lollipop, but not Jelly Bean or KitKat" and the article says "Samsung just confirmed to us that the JB and KK families will not be patched and that the vulnerabilities are only patched on the LL family."
So, explain how "an official (pushed OTA) update to Jelly Bean" fixes things.

So, by avoiding the question it's now obvious that you don't practice what you preach, and are a flaming hypocrite.

They're "abusing" them by providing paying jobs.
Yeah. No link, just a claim. And an odd one at that - although Life As We Know It requires carbon, carbon certainly doesn't require life to form.
