"Please disable the 'automatic stop' feature" "That sounds like a bad idea" "We have other automated systems that will stop the vehicle, but anyway there's a human at the wheel"
Sorry but every fucking car I've driven has no 'automatic stop' capability, they've all relied on the human behind the wheel. So by your shitty idiotic stupid senseless logic every fucking car designer ever is a murderer.
If you hadn't guessed already, I disagree with you.
The 'not an accident' comment was likely directed at the 'video footage portrayed a scene with far less light than was actually available' attempt by Uber to claim that this highly avoidable incident was unavoidable.
No. Steam doesn't require you to pay a monthly subscription to stay connected. Steam doesn't decide to shut down its entire fucking service screwing over anybody that bought from them (such as, e.g. Games For Windows Live did). Steam doesn't mandate DRM. Steam doesn't censor.
So no, unless you can connect to the generic internet through the Xbox, go to the Steam website, install the Steam client and buy and play games from Steam, then it'll be an Xbox version of Steam.
Take the photographer's pack. Photoshop and Lightroom for $9/mo. If you were to buy them full retail, Photoshop CS6, the last version you could "buy" was $699
But if you only want Lightroom then you're now having to pay £9.98/month and either get 1TB of cloud storage (like I'm going to fucking trust Adobe with that) or Photoshop thrown in. I don't want either, I just want Lightroom.
So instead of a £70 upgrade every 18-24 months I'm now expected to pay £120/year.
in Adobe's case, it works
Of course it fucking works, they get higher revenue and I get fucked over. Which is why I haven't signed up to their shitty service and instead use Lightroom 6.
By the time I buy a new camera (that's not supported by LR6) the competition will offer the DAM that I'll lose by switching away.
You said that Daimler paid 1B for defeating emissions
No, I did not. Stop fucking lying. Feel free to reply because I'm not going to read your response because you're wasting my time with your foolishness.
Bear in mind the UK Government auctioned off licences for the parts of the spectrum used by mobile signals, so that's an additional cost that must be borne.
Then consider that I'm paying £16/month for unlimited data. I'm not sure I could get it much cheaper anywhere else in Europe.
I drove around 300 miles at the weekend, most of it with my car's speed limiter set to the speed limit, gearbox at the highest gear that'll sensibly allow me to travel at that speed.
If that's how jackrabbits drive then yes, I guess I did.
There's a level of irony that you're calling me a moron then trying to justify it by making a claim I didn't deny, instead of understanding the context of my post and the point to which I was replying.
Look in a mirror, stop and pause for a moment, do some self reflection.
I've driven in the UK, France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, the US and a few other countries. In none of them you want to merge into 70mph traffic while doing 40mph. The quicker you can reach the speeds at which other road users are going the safer you are for them and for you.
Indeed, and they employ white men at well under the proportion you'd expect. Apparently 'diverse' means 'sexist and racist' - but we already knew that.
Thank fuck there are laws against those things. Fucking hurrah that white men supported and voted in those laws, because they need their fucking protection now.
If you look at the states, the graduate pool is much more female than the worker pool, by a degree that exceeds many other industries that require comparable educational backgrounds. Simply put, the Pipeline Problem cannot fully explain the lack of diversity in many tech companies
If you think a fucking gender studies degree qualifies you for a job programming (or even that grievance studies graduates would want one) then you're an idiot.
Tell me, if I post a job advert on a US university campus looking for software engineers, what's the gender ratio of the applicants going to be? Are you really telling me 60% of my applicants will be female? Are you really telling me all of those women will have an appropriate level of mathematics, computing expertise, non-educational programming experience and ability to use abstract logic to solve problems?
No. The BBC was forced to reveal the salary of everybody earning above a certain amount, which revealed that the highest paid TV presenters were all men.
The women complained, so a pay review was initiated. Top salaries got cut and people being underpaid got pay rises.
More men than women got pay rises. For the record, 52% of the BBC appearing on TV are female and there's absolutely no fucking shortage of women wanting to get a job on TV.
So it's not necessarily market supply/demand at all. It's far more likely to be anti-male bias, which is sadly increasingly apparent in all walks of life.
there is a statistical bias in actual pay that can only be explained (in a statistically significant way) by bias. In this case, against men
Which makes the no-longer-Damore class action against Google for discriminating against men even more interesting.
In general, against women.
In general my understanding is that women get paid exactly the same as men for doing the same job, except where they're paid more. Such as in this instance.
Mainly because you want a lot of power for towing things and/or accelerating fast.
The rate at which a car can get from 40-70mph directly impacts its safety when joining high speed roads, as well as allowing the use of speed to minimise other dangers (e.g. overtaking).
This isn't something you can get around with gearing either, because you also want your top gear to run the engine at motorway speeds at low revs for fuel economy. So your top gear will support the vehicle travelling much faster.
What this actually tells me is that Volvo want to save money on safety features, like high performance brakes and good tyres - things that matter at any speed. So fuck Volvo, I can buy from another manufacturer.
So your example is a $130bn turnover company being fined - for a second time, because they're a multiple offender - 1/6 of their profit, compared to a drug company being fined 1/10 of their turnover?
You're not convincing me of shit.
I mean, you skipped entirely the 1bn EUR fine on Daimler, which was a mere 1/3 of their profit.
Maybe - just maybe - if the US companies obeyed the fucking law they wouldn't get fucking fined. Is that so fucking hard to fucking comprehend you American fucking idiot?
So a guy suffers harassment, doxxing, stalking and death threats but doesn't call the police.
The Washington Post meanwhile disregard entirely the illegality of all of those things, claim the law is lacking in this instance and blames video games?
I'm not sure who the biggest fucking idiots in this situation are. The guy that didn't call the police, the Washington Post or the antisocial people that would be antisocial malicious bullies in any environment.
I'm not sure about the US but in the UK Tesla would get fucked senseless. You don't promise 'full self driving' then try and get around the lack of it by adding 'in our fake city block'.
Either you have full self driving or you don't. Tesla don't.

The thing with Steam is that I can download all 800 games I own, strip any Steam DRM from them and keep them forever.
If Steam look like they're going to go out of business, I'm buying a new NAS.

At least one of us has managed it.

How many people have died in a Volvo while driving about 112mph?
I'm not sure this will save any lives at all.

The cloud is as secure as your organisation makes it.
what's more secure, the cloud or your personal system
Oddly enough, neither. Apply appropriate security controls or you're in trouble either way.
massive penalties (5-10x what Europe fines European companies
Show some fucking evidence for your ignorant idiotic claims.
Yes, I do expect the evidence to include comparable levels of breaking the law.
Face it snowflake. Video games are full of trolls
Just like Slashdot, as you've just amply proven.

I don't normally go grammar nazi but that was an entirely superfluous comma.
wildlife, etc
I was surprised that read wildlife and not midwife.
