What the hell does that buzzword mean in this context? It doesn't seem to come to putting its operational behaviors up to a vote of the people. Do they mean do like the Democrat Party of the United States: make it available for everyone but more expensive? Is the next step to pass legislation requiring everyone to have one or pay $200 fines, while making the box cost $100 per year?
About 80% of the comments already seem to be talk about how the NHTSA actually did give them a 5.4, but only allows them to advertise whole numbers and nothing above 5. So... it's a technical dispute over bureaucratic assholery.
Uh. In mechanical systems, the odometer is controlled by a mechanical linkage, not computer telling it to tick up slowly. Same for the speedometer. That's why people used to use power drills to roll it back, but it takes too long.
In electronic systems, miles are recorded in the ECU. The odo is reading that, and will have to be connected for inspection. For technical reasons, you cannot disconnect the ECU during engine operation.
Yes, then people would know to beat them until they bleed into a scrape, so that they could then contract HIV from them and get their own sleeve wear. Soon we will all be able to own star sleeves!
What's funny is for a while it was taboo to even list that a patient had HIV on medical records (doctors did it anyway). It's a condition that's had lots of privacy barriers thrown around it in the US, because we want to protect these people from persecution.
As if I'm going to brutally beat and/or stab someone who has AIDS, because I really want to die slowly from a scrape I got on my knuckle while punching the living shit out of someone until they're bloody hamburger.
I've always said that we need the opposite: Bracelets. At least make them list STDs on their license. Make people carry some form of mandatory identification, they're screened every year, and we list all their current STDs. Bracelets are plainly visible in the populous; drivers' license are de-facto ID and must be shown to some people, but can be refused to most; a separate ID has only one use, and can be refused at all times--either you assume the risk or you don't have sex with someone who won't show his coverage.
Yes this means dumb people will hook up a lot more without protection, meaning they're exposing themselves to more risk: that STD test may be wrong, too early, or pre-infection, especially when you start having unprotected sex with everyone who was clean 8 months ago. The risk is reduced if you stamp the chip, so you can go to the clinic every 2 weeks if you want and have a history of "CLEAN" dated Thursday, and Saturday be fucking someone who was "CLEAN" Friday. The device could even have a push-button LED (or OLED date display) that goes RED for infected and GREEN for clean, and you could get treated for bacterial (ghonnorhoea chlamydia etc) and then re-test 3 weeks and 6 weeks out to get it cleared (2 recent CLEAR from known-curable infections required to green again).
Make a paper trail du joure standard. Everyone will be tested every year. You will have ID that has medical information on it, we can check it, and we know if this was last year's test or if you've updated it recently. We can then decide if we want to hook up with these two hot cheerleaders or if they seem slutty and haven't been tested in 11 months and probably fucked 3000 guys since then and have picked up a few riders.
In mechanical odo cars, the cluster is fitted over an interface with a solid square drive that connects to the speedo, and drives the odo. You'd have to disconnect the entire cluster to do that. Some such cars don't have a tach on the automatic transmission version, because it's too complex to set up mechanically and not relevant and so just added expense and potential breakage. You can swap the cluster, but then you have a different cluster with some random amount of mileage on it.
In electronic control cars, the ECU tracks all that and drives the gauges by signal and servo, or even digital display.
Considering it's been illegal as hell for decades to mess with the odometer, yeah. You're moving from regular fraud to tax fraud on a system built to be fraud-resistant. You can't even use a power drill to roll the numbers back now--and I've tried that on systems that let you, it takes eternity. To complicate the matter, even shit as old as 1980s has the numbers locked to the whole mechanical system controlling it; the stuff holding this together isn't bolted in, but rather cut and bent from a plate, so you'd have to make some very visible changes (cut or bend aluminum to deformation) to actually manually roll the numbers.
Wayland is "X is deficient, it's not good enough, and efforts to improve it have been clunky hacks. To actually improve, much of it must be rewritten. Let's just write a new one."
Mir is "Oh, shit, they're writing a new X? Uh, it's... not ours. We're going to do it too! We'll make OUR OWN NEW X, that we can ship with OUR system, and it'll be OURS because WE WROTE IT because WE DON'T WANT YOUR JUNK!"
Wayland doesn't have a distribution. They're not RedHat or SuSE. The people writing it are just trying to build a better X. Mir came about when Canonical saw a better X being built and decided to head it off by building their own better X, instead of contributing to help the better X come about faster and with more features relevant to their distribution.
It means they need to continuously patch things, which is more effort and allows more human error since the patches will always be less tested than the newest version being put up. Stuff that was tested in development won't be tested with Ubuntu's Mir code, unless it's tested by Ubuntu developers--doubling the labor applied, rather than applying the extra labor to other efforts.
No, they're disruptive because they change what is technically possible. The ability to directly manipulate ambient energy would greatly change... everything. I've got piles and piles of things we can do with quantum tunneling junctions, when they're refined enough--currently you get a slab with 1% of the area functional (it works, but it's overly expensive to manufacture and too large).
Anticipating a new advance to produce multi-thousand-GHz processors for 15 years won't make them disruptive. We'll see sudden explosive CPU clock speed growth when they come into existence, and sudden new efforts to take advantage of it all.
Unless they take up porting Linux features as Minix 3 services, I'll have the same answer: what the fuck is the point? We have FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Darwin, and Hurd; Minix 3 is the most ambitious and disruptive direction to go, providing a lot of potential. Porting kernel events for udev and systemd and such onto it, as well as the Linux file systems (ext2/3/4, btrfs, xfs, jfs) and disk layouts (GPT, MBR extended partitions) and some drivers onto it would be interesting.
But yeah, it'll probably be "we wrote our own monolithic kernel just like Linux, but better!" Waste of time, there's 15 of those out in the wild you could use OR YOU COULD JUST IMPROVE LINUX.
The point is really more that they're so NIH that they want to provide their own solution, wasting time instead of contributing to Wayland or X.org. Programmer time is a limited resource, and the two things open source projects generally lack the most is project management and programmer time. They're so starved for programmer time that even highly mismanaged projects that waste their time would benefit more from 30 or 40 additional 10-20 hour per week programmers than from fixing their planning issues. Then you have projects like Mozilla and Apache that actually do have good planning and management practices, and are still resource-starved.

"If you value your financial privacy" is such a loaded phrase.
Risk. What's the worst that could happen? Well, your AGI can be used as a form of identity. So can your SSN. Your employment history as well is used as identity (you will be quizzed on this when applying for loans). You file any address changes and your current address, and your address history is used as identity (same deal).
Probability of any of these being hijacked is roughly identical. It's low: compound trustworthiness of the organization being paramount to their ability to continue to do business with government regulations and auditing, and then consider that the primary threats are internal (insider threats are always the greater probability risk) and that these people are more likely to work for personal use than bulk sale (meaning you'd have to be one of a dozen or so picked out of tens or hundreds of millions of users at random).
Severity is of course rather high.
Overall, "if you value your financial privacy", you'll never get a job where your employer needs your social security number to file taxes. All of these applications using your SSN even if you don't get hired. I typically file my taxes before I get my W2, because I can calculate all of my information without it by looking at my last paycheck.
The risk of using an online tax service is marginally higher than the risk of doing my taxes by hand or on home software. It's roughly identical to the risk of engaging with a tax accountant.

Well. If they have children from 5 different diseased men and contract HIV, herpes, and hepatitis, then ... yeah, they're diseased.

What car?
Hah, nice.
The point was actually that breaking skin is a good way to get yourself HIV.

Yes but that falls under libel and is much more clear cut legally.

Stuff that was tested in development won't be tested with Ubuntu's Mir code, unless it's tested by Ubuntu developers--doubling the labor applied, rather than applying the extra labor to other efforts.
In the US, whenever this comes up, people ask why not just check the odometer and charge a tax at vehicle re-registration.

Yeah, SOS-CMOS like SOG-CMOS or SOD-CMOS. You can't have a data core without SOD-CMOS.
Upstream won't accept it for GTK+, not sure if Qt will reject it.

SEC regulations into mandatory financial security posture reporting being investigated currently?
I just went to Amazon and searched for things. Those exact things and similar things started showing up on ads on the beer forum I was on.
I googled for oriental furniture and browsed some futons. OrientalFurniture.com ads started showing up on fucking FACEBOOK who is at war with Google.
I visited Straight Razor Designs and Classic Shaving directly, bought some shave soap and aftershave. I started getting straight razor ads on Fark.
H&R Block is selling my information in real-time it seems.
