I don't believe it and I don't really want it to happen. Killing the company would be like saying NASA should have been killed after Challenger.
A better response to both, which keeps us flying and fixes future fuckups, is to hold the people who authorized bypassing such reasonable procedures criminally liable.
We are forced to pick which issues are the most important- sometimes it might be only ONE issue, and all the other stuff we might not like comes along with the vote.
And I've noticed that over time, it is easy to become agreeable with those other stances, to the point we fight for them as hard as our primary issue. I did that for a while until I decided not to immediately dismiss the "other side".
Now I tend to dig deep and look for compatibilities between each side, and from my perspective they are fairly agreeable for the 90%+ of circumstances which people don't talk about in political discussions.
The idea is to build up a greenhouse effect that would warm the planet and then keep it warm, a self-reinforcing cycle.
Granted, there are many doubts that we can extract enough CO2 to really build a greenhouse effect. And there are quite a few other challenges. But we start with a goal and we throw in some good research and science. And maybe a bit of necessity.
I thought the idea with terraforming Mars is that we could nuke the polar caps and release a lot of CO2. We have to be much more careful with Earth; besides, nukes can't suck CO2 out of the atmosphere.
Parts of our society and economy are socialist. You can't say that our success is proof that capitalism is best without acknowledging that socialism contributed as well.
Bosses: "Agree with me, if you like employment... or decent hours, pay raises, and a career path."
I haven't personally had a boss like this. I don't know if I'm typical or lucky, but I do know some have real jerks above them with no realistic options to leave for a better situation. That's why it is so important to legally decrease their influence.
.NET Framework is the next VB6. It will be around for a long time, but new development will transition away from it. Though Core is so similar that the skill set transfers quite easily.
Downside: You lose (some? all?) anonymity, as your GUID is long-lived.
Many IP addresses are long-lived anyway. And my home IP address links a dozen different devices.
I haven't read the protocol, but wouldn't it be possible to cycle your GUID regularly? That seems like (slightly) better anonymity than IP addresses... not that either approach is designed for that purpose.
I don't know that it would dismantle Social Security as much as reinvent it. Consider that Social Security is already doomed to reduce benefits in a few years; people are starting to put less and less trust in it anyway.
I'm curious if it's possible (legal) to tie the subsidy to residency requirements. "Whomever you hire must have their primary residence within Detroit city limits."
Really such a deal would just force the suburban localities to come to the table and offset some of the money in exchange for inclusion.
It really doesn't matter who drives or who programs. What matters is whether the system is better. For cars, self driving is objectively better in safety.

Yep, or Approval or Score voting methods.

That's really a big problem, isn't it? To support Net Neutrality, I have to support a politician who aligns with values that are completely unrelated.
I can't blame someone who thinks other issues are more important. But we shouldn't have to make that choice in the first place.
(Just to be clear... I do personally support many of those values.)

And in 100 years you'll be sleeping 18,000 hours a day.
Which is pretty much the truth.
The sentence is grammatically ambiguous. It can mean the same either way.
Then what is the point of such insurance?
You don't have car insurance if your car is 100% guaranteed never to get in an accident.
Authoritarianism is the hogshit and cockroach. It ruins your hot dog no matter what it's made of.

Not Seattle.
Right. Battery technology improvement is currently in the crosshairs for many industries, and the market keeps growing.
The only limitations I can to acknowledge are those of theoretical physics; wake me when we are bumping up against those.

White House Black Market?
Billionaire Boys Club?

Or maybe this is about you, not me.
Go ahead. Please, please let me know if I make such a glaring error as confusing sampling vs. population. I want to correct it.
Not to mention the billions of miles in simulation. (Not saying simulation is a good substitute for real driving.)
statistically insignificant
has to scale out to the entire population before it means anything
You really don't seem to know how statistics works.
It really doesn't matter who drives or who programs. What matters is whether the system is better. For cars, self driving is objectively better in safety.
