    You mean the Trump that asked, in his first national security briefing, three times why we couldn't use the nuclear bomb?

    Also remember, this happened in the timeframe (mid 2015) that Apple was actively fighting the FBI to not build a software hack into iOS. So it can be fought. And won.

    The scale is what wasn't know. this is every email going through there servers. Which is unconstitutional. Oh, and their poor implementation led to back door access as well.

    Other questions still to be answered: Did google & microsoft do the same thing? So far, they've said 'no comment'. Which isn't good.

    Again, mistakes will happen. Self driving will not be perfect. To expect such is stupidity.

    They are already an order of magnitude safer than the average driver.

    They have already gone beyond their initial goals.

    I don't think anyone anywhere is claiming that self driving cares will be perfect.

    That's just stupid to expect.

    Lowering the 100,000+ deaths per year in the world due to humans driving is the actual goal.

    There are a few companies that might respond, but generally the answer is no. Because they have legal resources to threaten you. For exposing their lack of security. Cheaper for them to lawyer up than secure up.

    No reason those jobs have be in Santa Monica though. Or anywhere else in CA. Move them to Seattle like the rest of the company.

    If you say something in private, that doesn't give that person the right to tell the public.

    Yes, it actually does if there's no agreement in place. Especially if you're trying to be malicious as was the case here.

    You are completely and utterly wrong.

    1. She engaged in consensual sex act.
    2. She approved of it being filmed (Bravo!)
    3. She sent it, unbidden, to former lover & friends.

    Those were her choices. There was never ANY agreement that the video was private. And most assuredly, the recipients would not have agreed to it. She gave up her privacy when she CHOSE to send the video to others, without any agreement in place.

    They had the freedom to do what they wanted with it. She tried to embarrass her ex-lover by sending it, so he turned around and embarrassed her by sharing it further.

    The ONLY one at fault is her.
