99% of cars still have a mechanical connection between the steering wheel and the road wheels. "Electric power steering" doesn't mean "steer by wire" -- it mans that an electric motor has taken the place of the hydraulic ram in a conventional power steering system. The only car with "steer by wire" is the Infiniti Q50 -- even that car has a connection between the wheels and the steering wheel that's engaged if power to the compuker is lost.
Since when is going to Caribbean countries "crap"? It seems like a fun (and relatively inexpensive, depending on country) trip. More fun than yet another cookie-cutter US airport (flying bus station) anyway. Also, passengers are actually appreciative -- land in Santiago, DR, and the entire aircraft breaks into applause as soon as the thrust reversers engage...
Why bother? After 9/11, pilots know not to cooperate with hijackers. An appropriate flight pattern will make sure anyone not belted in will be splashing against the aircraft's ceiling repeatedly.
Even against a gun, the aircraft itself wins when it's used as a tool to keep any hijacking fool off balance.
The 737 is not primarily fly-by-wire (not even the MAX). Some secondary flight controls are fly-by-wire (electric tail stabilizer trim, spoilers). The problem is that a pilot needs to know how to recover from runaway stabilizer trim and know that the situation is happening. Since the system was poorly documented, this was a problem.
Oh, and fuck every single senatwhore and congressworm who voted for SESTA/FOSTA. Yep, Dems and Reps alike are at fault, it's not a partisan issue here.
Are EFTPOS transactions in Australia itemized? I.e. do the bankscum know that you made a purchase of $52 from the grocery store last Wednesday, or do they know that you spent $5 on crisps, $10 on fruit, $20 on beer, etc, etc, etc?
The law requires you to identify yourself to cops if arrested, not to carry papers unless you're engaged in an activity (e.g. driving) that requires it.
Two ways to do it: (1) Develop a pain in your eye, have insurance pay for it as incidental to an optician's appointment. (2) Get a coupon for somewhere like Cohen's (in NYC) that does it for $20. If the coupon is only valid once, you can keep coming back and paying cash -- not like they check ID...
Cohen's Optical exists in NY and surrounding area -- they do exam + glasses for $100 and have a decent range of frames for that price.
It's even cheaper to order directly from China, and I doubt that US Customs really gives a fuck about ordering Rx glasses without a prescription when they have bigger fish to fry...
Interestingly, that's not always true that police states get rid of petty crime -- the USSR had a huge petty criminal subclass. The government just cooked their crime statistics and didn't release much information.
Even in England under the 1800s Bloody Code, pickpocketing was common at public hangings even through theft could earn you a free Australian vacation (at best) or a rope (at worst).
My privacy is worth the extra one minute once or twice a week. Plus, paying cash is often CHEAPER -- we went to a restaurant that offered a 10% cash discount just last week. (And no, I really don't care about the legal/tax implications of this -- not my fucking problem.)
I mean it. Illegal immigration keeps the cash economy a-hummin' along nicely in the US -- I thank illegal immigrants for helping preserve my freedom of choice (to pay cash) and privacy. And no, I'm not a coward, so I'm not bothered by the supposed negative implications of the above.
My bank is walking distance from home and work -- it's no big deal to stop at an ATM... as far as supporting the cash initiative, it's not only good for the unbanked, but for privacy in general.
This won't happen now, but if cash goes away, everyone's money is in the bank. Nothing to stop banks from charging a monthly fee (aka negative interest) to everyone for keeping their money, since there's no alternative. Contribute to the ecahhhhhnamy or lose your money.

Autopilots in aircraft are closer to cruise control than any level of self-driving in a car.

Sure you can. HDTV antenna. Donesky!
After running a Tesla coil over the stinking thing. "It came dead from the factory." Cost the pigfuckers some small amount of money.

But if you saved money, you wouldn't have a negative balance. Who cares what a bunch of clerks think of you?
If the pigs aren't tested regularly as to their willingness to follow the law, bad ones can't be outed, publicized, and sued.
Sadly, the FDA classifies them as a medical device, so technically, an Rx is required.
It's not a problem, thought you'd better watch the source carefully since a refund may be difficult to get.

No stinking thanks to having my eyes permanently altered by the lowest bidder.

I often don't carry ID when not driving -- the law doesn't require it, so I see no reason to carry my "papers" 24/7/365.
