Operate at a (near) loss until you have a near monopoly (or at least a huge barrier to entry) and run out all of the competitors then raise the prices and boil that frog slowly.

It's just the new-ish way of doing things, uber, walmart, etc, etc. They all play this shitty game.

...of "bbb-but her emails" as the nation crumbles from within....*sigh*.

Well congrats you are the unicorn who knows for a 100% fact that no one in the world has any personal information about you stored on their phone or elsewhere. I figured in this day you would have to live in the forest and never make contact with anyone to achieve that goal but here you are. The rest of us have family and friends and even acquaintances who may do this unbeknownst to us. Also data mining companies pretty much have all of your information anyway from decades of public records and 'PII for profit' companies.

By the way; Slashdot is a form of social media.

*You* may not give up this information, but someone who has all of your personal information in their contacts on their phone may.

It's a clusterfuck.

Now I will need to park 75 spaces away from the door, after the handicapped, then the 'family' then the 'charging', then the compact. May as well just walk because I am closer to my house than when I started.

Actually...Hey...wait a minute! What a devious plan.

Well at least you qualified it with "*he* can get".

Correct. All companies everywhere try to get out ahead of litigation as soon as possible.

Thanks for a more unbiased account. An AC above posted some links and from what I can gather all it proves is that they are saying "it wasn't our systems that failed!". Hardly what the parent was trying to imply. Yes it would be a serious mess if two systems tried to take over car controls.

Well then it doesn't look good for any company ever when there is a possibility of a lawsuit.

This is SOP for anything every regarding any type of liability when it comes to lawyers and insurance.

Of course they would need to "disable" one system to enable another. Phrasing sure can show bias. I am sure the 737 I am flying on today has 'intentionally disabled safety systems' along the way. Should I be concerned, I mean if I leave out context that means there are no more safety systems.

Do you have the article that shows how disabling those systems to use others in their place caused this accident?

This isn't your facebook feed, you can't just post that kind of stuff without some sort of proof to back up that claim.

Was this proven? I hadn't heard anything other than the droves of internet people giving their armchair forensic and legal opinions.

I don't have any empirical evidence of his relative intelligence but I can say I have never, ever heard him speak eloquently or as an informed authority on any single matter he is talking about. This is going back to him in the 80's as a real estate guy working to bilk NYC out of tax $. Sure he has the tongue of a charlatan, but that is it, well maybe that he ranks among one of the most successful charlatans in career longevity and success but a charlatan nonetheless.

Even his career/monetary "success" is shrouded in his pathological lying. The only thing I know to be factual that he says is that he is the president and in true form he even takes that a step further with lying about how he got there.

As I posted above: "Yup. Bonds at ~16% interest @600million. There's an absolutely zero chance that whole project wasn't about side deals and whatnot. There was never any way the casino was going to make enough to even cover the interest, roughly 8 million a month. "
