  1. Do not disturb! on Apple Unveils iOS 12 (apple.com) · · Score: 1

    New modes in Do Not Disturb automatically end based on a specified time, location or action and Do Not Disturb during Bedtime helps people get a better night's sleep by dimming the display and hiding all notifications on the lock screen until prompted in the morning.

    Are Apple users really too stupid to be able to sleep because of their phone? Did this really need an OS update for them to cope?

    Jesus fucking Christ can we have one conversation without some asswipe like you dragging Donald Trump into this?

    The ONE time it was justified bringing him in and you complain?

    He's spent a large part of his presidency removing pesky liability laws that hold back great American business like Amazon.

    Because they're idiots.

    Luckily for us, Tesla is logging the data:

    https://jalopnik.com/feds-clos...

    So far they've been held blameless in every single incident.

    One reason they're logging the data is that people are trying to blame every accident they have on the car:

    "It wasn't me, it was the car!"

    Yeah, right.

    Yep. I'm sure there were no warning signs or flashing lights 200 yards before that barrier that the Tesla driver should have spotted if he'd not been playing candy crush.

    Seriously, if you want to pay no attention at all, take a bus.

    Giving them money is lunacy.

    Much better to give them free fast food delivery and Internet. People who are stuffed with junk food are much more likely to stay home and not cause any trouble.

    I don't think the people "most likely to shoot somebody" will stay home and be nice for $1000.

    Much more likely they'll spend it all on drugs/hookers the first day the be angry for the rest of the month because they've got no money to go out partying.

    The economy is doing great, job numbers are better than ever for many

    Mostly due to all the hard work put in by the previous administration (who had to start right after the banking disaster/collapse that GWBush failed to prevent).

    Or maybe you think Trump managed to turn it all around in a couple of weeks? LOL!

    Question: How's the swamp-draining coming along? That's the single most important thing that he could do to help safeguard the future economy of the USA - prevent more gaming of the system (and subsequent collapses).

    I test my software for longer than a week before releasing it, and it's not even safety critical.

    Maybe you could learn "decoupling" techniques and modularization, it helps avoid that problem.

    I'm more concerned that a) they released the car with crap brakes and didn't notice until Consumer Reports told them about it and b) an over-the-air software update developed in about a week can apparently affect the operation of a critical safety system.

    It sure must be confusing for you old folks who think cars are dirty, oily things that need you to go in and manually set the gaps every few weeks to make them work properly.
