    LOL at what industry is this.

    EVERY ONE THAT WRITES SOFTWARE.

    Yes, it's a bad, but very common, practice.

    Um, given TFS, I'd say they put it in so they probably knew about it from day 1.

  3. it is fair to assume that either outcome by the computer would also be acceptable.

    But not to the people suing the car company, which is part of my point.

  4. Re:Unison on The Humans Crashing Into Driverless Cars are Exposing a Key Flaw (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    So, you've never been in an accident that was not your fault on the highways?

    Sometimes, going at speed and a deer jumps out means hitting the deer and possibly killing the driver, or swerving off the road and killing the driver, or serving into another car and killing others. Often, coming 'to a full and complete stop' isn't possible. Or may be on train tracks.

    There are definitely more important questions, but these questions definitely need to be answered as they are literally life & death questions and will have huge financial consequences on the robot car companies if not answered well.

    Sorry to interrupt your rant.

    I don't know about *no* reasonable argument against solar farms.

    Production of solar cells is pretty nasty. And we've dealt with it similar to how we deal with other issues - outsource it to China.

    Once the government starts running its own ISP, the competition will vanish completely.

    And in MANY places, once the government starts running its own ISP, people will have access to broadband for the first time because the 'free market' didn't give a shit.

    And that is exactly what local government is for.

    Considering, it is the local governments, who are impeding Internet-service provision competition to begin with, your stance is not just foolish, it even seems malign.

    Wow, it's not the ISPs trying to buy out the local governments and having them put in higher costs, it's just the local governments, eh?

    Fat fucking chance anyone actually believes you.

    This is the exact reason why Apple made changes to their encryption and is actively fighting it.

    Are any other phone companies doing the same?

    How?

    Neonicotinoids can last up to almost 4 years when in the ground. Where the plants will absorb it. Thus a 2 year ban would have no effect on reducing the chemicals in the soil.

    At least one expert disagrees with you.

    I think the difference in the past vs the future is that Dell almost always tries to put their own ties into their subsidiaries.

    In 2-3 years, it'll be VirtualDell or some shit like that. And all of a sudden, chipsets for other vendors (UCS,HP) won't work as well.
    Or dedup for VSAN will magically never show up even though it was officially promised a month ago.
