Ronald Reagan!

No,

God exists and I believe ( have faith in, seek Him ) in him, I win.
( God exists and I don't believe ), or he doesn't exist, I lose.
If he does not exist and I believe, what have I lost I would not have lost anyway?

I own a 2000 BMW 328i, and I can testify to the blink rate differential on that year and model.
It is 15 years old ( it's "birthday" is this month! ), so I don't know if it qualifies as "modern" or not.

That would be a lot of circuitry for an edge case that might never occur...
And on top of that, most people don't know or notice that this happens.....

If that is true,then the implication is that pedestrians and cyclists are actively keeping from being hit.
Which implies that most drivers are doing a poor job of paying consistent attention.

As a driver, cyclist and pedestrian, I quite believe it.

How would the relay ( not that it is exactly a relay ) being in the engine compartment versus in the dashboard change the blink rate when a bulb is out?

If the "tick tick" is fake, then why do the lights blink at different rates when a bulb is out?

I worked on a Token Ring network early in my career.
It was a very good, robust system.
We had a star topology, twisted pair to the desktops, the Ring was all in our cabling area.
We had failures of individual lines to desktops, but that would have happened with Ethernet.
Never had a ring failure, IIRC.

A, "loser pays", never heard about this 50/50 apportionment.
B, " If Apple is in the right, then they win, and the poor defendant is on hook for the entire bill.".
Quite. You don't think that will have a chilling effect? Consider the opposite, you are right, but Apple is big.
Being right does not mean you will win.
I would consider the potential downside before I launched a lawsuit, no matter how in the right I am.
I don't think this would stop harassment lawsuits, it might change how much money they "officially" threw at it ( both for the apportionment and the liability if they lose ).

With "loser pays", those with deep pockets will be the only ones who could afford to bring suit.
Not sure how that fixes anything...

Why would anyone in their right mind go to college for a programming degree under those conditions?

"The company owes me..." types. They are not everywhere.

"We hired a bunch from...and they sucked". I didn't say that.

"Distribution of talent". Yes, quite. Which is part of why the "Americans cant program" strikes a nerve. We can and do. They can and do.

"Have to offshore". Not totally against it, personally, but the increasing "Americans cant program"/"Cant find programmers here" so "they" can justify offshoring is nonsense. It is about costs. Maybe not for your organization, but in general.

"Business operate for profit". Never said otherwise. But profit on what time scale? When the US middle class is gutted, who will these businesses sell to? At what prices?
And is this migration good for everyone?
( I would argue that we are looking at a decrease in worldwide "good" as America gets economically weaker ).

"Punishment and confiscation". Not a good thing, But paying reasonable taxes and reasonable costs is acceptable and necessary.

I am ( and have been ) in a management position, and I have worked with a large number of programmers.
Including a good number of people from other cultures, and many here on H1B's.

I don't see a "The Company... owes ME" attitude from US citizens.
And most were/are the primary means of support for a family, large or small, right here.
They were/are hard working, honest decent people. No different from those abroad.
And if they *are* "less complaining", why is that? It looks to me like duress.
Why is that a good thing?

I reject the inability to accept other cultures or racism angle, personally.
I have not seen it in those who work around me. I have seen lots of acceptance.
Comments here, perhaps some are racially motivated. Perhaps they are not.
I don't know what is in their hearts and minds. I suspect you don't either.

As to business doing exactly what it should, what exactly is it that you say it should do?
Hire only compliant workers? Or cheap?
Or workers that get the job done, and provide the revenues to the economic system they depend on?

I advocate that the US should not allow other nations free trade while the other nation limits what trade is allowed.
I don't really know where you got your post from what I wrote.

If the "other" countries/companies were playing the same way, that would be excellent.
