But that, in and of itself doesn't disprove the existence of a trend which does not show any sign of slowing.
There's a trend? It doesn't show any sign of slowing?
Where's your data? Show me the trend line, and show me that it's not slowing. As far as I can see, some people moved email to the web a decade or two ago, and since then, nearly nothing else has moved into being a web app.
You realise that humans were driving them in 50% of the 4 cases, right?
Because someone being blamable for accidents is much more important than having fewer accidents in the first place, right?
To be fair, 2 of the accidents happened while under human control. That suggests that yes, the computers are at least as good as the humans... That said, the sample size is tiny, and critical info like miles driven is missing, so who knows.
Nope, completely the reverse. The company that owns the copyright is the one for which you were working - that is, your shell company. The only time that changes is if you have an explicit copyright assignment to someone else.
Being there to profit from my work, and being my friend are two entirely orthogonal concepts. In fact, him profiting from my work, and me profiting from my work are two orthogonal concepts too. It is entirely possible (and very common) for an employment contract to be a win/win scenario for both parties - one party is getting work, the other party is getting the necessary environment to make their skills valuable, both are getting profit out of it.
Why cheaper? What if the hardware is already owned? What if the systems therein are running just fine as expected? If it ain't broke, don't fix it
Because when that existing hardware breaks, it'll be much more expensive to completely rewrite everything than it would have been to just keep it properly maintained all along.
The only reason you would have that code still running on those chips is because it's not forward compatible with something more modern. Otherwise someone would have transitioned to some much cheaper, more recent, commodity hardware, and saved the business a lot of cash.
That's definitely not good engineering, or something to brag about.
Wrapping it in ifdefs doesn't make it elegant. It just makes it not a hack. Instead, it makes it ugly, and correct.
The issue is that you can connect to it wirelessly, and command it to give lethal doses of drugs remotely... That's pretty frickin bad
No, queueing the lawsuit would still be valid - it would be the act of adding that one single lawsuit to the queue.
Making the government a bigger player in the loop does not mean the loop is destroyed.
But it doesn't mean it's not either.
Most of Europe demonstrates that you can achieve a stable free market by having the government in the loop.
No, he would be considered pretty right wing in France, the UK, Italy, Germany, in fact... pretty much all of Europe.
Actually no, the phone is collateral against a loan the carrier gave you. It's not yours until you've paid it off. That said, you're also not renting it.
I don't care to, because I've not performed a scientific study into your anecdote.
My hypothesis would be on the placebo effect though.
If all else fails, lower your standards.
