Just read Margaret Macmillan's essay The Rhyme of History wherein she mentions Kennedy's actions in the Cuban Missile Crisis:
"The young and relatively untried U.S. president was urged by virtually his entire top military leadership as well as many of the civilians in his administration to confront the Soviet Union vigorously, up to the point of invading Cuba and so risking an all-out nuclear war. Standing up to them, he opted instead for negotiations with Moscow and, in the end, preserved the peace. It was perhaps fortunate that he had just read Barbara Tuchman’s great The Guns of August and was very mindful of the ways nations can blunder into war. "
"disgraced themselves at some time and somehow survived"
They survived because for a large number of people trust isn't supreme: they are liars, they lie to themselves and to others, and when liars discover that a company they use has lied, well, deep down they know it's not that bad. They like their Volkswagen, nay love their Volkswagen, and so internal logic concludes it's not worth changing car companies over some lie that hardly affected them. For these people, and to an extent all people, trust is set right next to convenience and perception of worth.
This isn't just a government thing. Netflix has been blocking VPN's for at least a year. Amazon Video did for a while, but now it's ok. Oh, and many Youtube videos cannot be served to my VPN.
Autopilot's other closely linked connotation is what we've seen in many movies/tv/novels, "who's flying, don't worry I've got the autopilot on". People know that autopilot doesn't fly a plane from take-off to landing all by itself, the pilot is needed.
How about fully autonomous, autonomous, driver-less, self-driving. New terms will be better and more accurate I believe than trying to keep Autopilot away from autos just because they're not fully self driving even when they pretty much act just like Autopilot does in aircraft.
These headlines aren't going away just because Tesla changes the name of the feature. And at this point, a change would give the public perception that something's wrong. Tesla has created the boilerplate public response: We've yet to determine if the Autopilot feature was engaged at the time. And please note: it's always a driver's responsibility to ensure the safe operation of the vehicle when Autopilot is engaged. Responsible journalists will always include that.
Gawker stopped being a tormentor of the Manhattan elite media years ago. Instead, “Whatever information we have, whatever insight we have, whatever knowledge we have, our impulse is to share it as quickly as possible, and sometimes with as little thought as possible,” Denton told me after we had settled into a small conference room. “Before you can think about it too much, just put it out there, just share it out there. I think that’s the essence of who we are.”
That's Nick Denton, early summer 2015, before the final verdict. OP's right, they did something stupid. Denton's not in jail, and his ability to dig up slime hasn't gone away. Beside, isn't there literally an army of SJW's with communications and journalism degrees swinging quixotically at everything money? That they don't have much says nothing about the health of our freedom of speech laws, and says everything about how hard it is to do real journalism.
My gas company wanted to upgrade the meter, and gave me a choice, let us install it, or you'll pay more, like 4% more, can't remember what they called it. I told them I'll take two if I can get a discount.
TV journalists, and whistle blowers. A similar issue came up last month with government contractor whistle blower Reality Winners, who failed to realize every page from a color laser printer has an id pattern watermark. They're difficult to see without a loop and blue/black light. The printers I've used the pattern was in yellow, lower left corner of the page.
Seems the solution to poorly maintained pipelines is to, maintain them properly. Also, how big is the contamination problem? Somebody posted a link below to the recent Santa Barbara spill, but no surface/ground water contamination appears to have happened (unless you include the ocean as surface water).

Communist China is leading the world in large scale human rights advocacy. China is healthy and growing and its large population demands the government be prepared and sensitive to human rights. Safely observing citizen actions and making necessary corrections to policy are two important concerns of the Chinese People's Government. China's most vocal critic is the U.S. government, who most recently was revealed to be conducting large scale intrusive surveillance on its own citizens. Such a government should never be accusing other governments of rights abuse.
It's obvious we're going to need regulation to force speeds already the slowest in developed countries. Instead legislation is being used to keep speeds low. I tell anyone who'll listen, we in the U.S. are paying the most for our slow speed.
This. Skull & Bones, Bildabergers, Rothchilds, conspiracy about the world's corporate rulers and their secret societies -- none of that is needed to explain why the world's wealthiest people act tribal. Turns out tribalism isn't relegated to the under-developed. And people tend simply to look out for themselves and who they care about first.
We hired a truck driver who had a teamsters pension but before working for us didn't check his contract which clearly spells out transportation jobs would be subject to time restrictions, for him like 14 hours/week allowed after which point his pension is reduced. He didn't read his contract, but instead just asked a couple of his buddies. He lucked out, and didn't lose the $15k they were going to dock him. But he did have to quit.
I own a second home that I bought and fixed up to rent. That was the fruit from a year when I bought three properties with the aim of either flipping them or fixing then up and keeping then as rentals -- flipped the second and the third burned down during construction. I made less than $50K last year. Your definition of upper class would include me, and that's ridiculous.

While Trump is in office, don't expect much common sense from journalists.

Google basically asked for just this type of feeback. They got it, they fired him.

Hire a lawyer, great advise!

$50k is not twice the Average American income, you're wrong. And that's the highest income I've ever made, it's always less than that.
Again, you're whacked if you think my situation puts me into the "upper class".
I own a second home that I bought and fixed up to rent. That was the fruit from a year when I bought three properties with the aim of either flipping them or fixing then up and keeping then as rentals -- flipped the second and the third burned down during construction.

The serious part is NannyStaters focusing on the issue resulting in absurdly high fines.
