Comment Realistically (cough, cough) (Score 1) 126

Actually if 'the earth' refers just to the non human matter & non atmosphere components of the system, the black hole would be very small (about 1" diameter) and the population would converge near the center of mass. As air and the inner group of people contacted the event horizon there would be create a violent plasma outburst which would then consume the rest of us and blow most of our remains away.

Comment Re:green (Score 1) 328

I can't speak for all states (like you apparently can) but control of the state senate & house or assembly or whatever and the federal house are done by district, thus gerrymandering can create situations where concentrations of one party are given 'a' district for their own while diluting their representation in many other districts to the advantage of the party in control of the process. That misrepresentation then reinforces itself in some cases by implementation of voter suppression actions targeting certain voter blocks.

Comment Re:My friends will love wireless access to your ca (Score 3, Insightful) 117

You are a bit confused about the order of operations. The wireless capability was installed partly for convenience and data skimming, but also because Right to Repair was specifically addressing hard ODB connections. The automakers are trying to do an end around by going wireless. The fact that they are promoting the insecurity of their systems as a reason to veto the Massachusetts RTR law update is particularly egregious. (strong parallels to the current Supreme Court flap, but that is another story)

The concept that hackers will be thwarted by voting this law update down is amusing at best.
