Most high end sports cars have automatics with two clutchs. The car is always in one gear, and has the next expected gear engaged but with the clutch disengaged. When it's time to switch, it just swaps the clutches.

Not even in your wildest dreams can you switch gears faster than those transmission and certainly not as consistently.

Drag cars tend to blow themselves apart in a couple runs. I suspect building a double clutch tranny that you have to replace every couple of runs is cost prohibitive - or against the rules in pretty much every class other than unlimited top fuel dragster.

Formula 1 and Indy car transmissions are automatics with manual gear selection. They work somewhat like I just described. I'd bet a months pay neither you or anyone you've every known could shift any manual faster than the F1/Indy car shift itself.

I prefer a manual, but pretending I'm faster than high performance fully electronicly controlled dual clutch systems is stupid. You aren't, period.

Faxing is better. Powders and simple devices can be sent by letter, and politicians have to watch out for that.

Faxing means you're likely to be in a place that has a fax, ie a business, and if you put your thoughts on a letter with corporate logo then that's even better.

And yeah, faxing is very old school, but it's still used in a lot of down-to-earth places, the kind of grass-roots companies that politicians like to cultivate.

The claim that previous contributors lost something is entirely, 100% false.

They don't get to freely copy new code added to redis going forward, but the license can not be applied retroactively to previous versions. They are not prevent from doing whatever they want with any version from before the license change.

No one lost anything. No one is steeling your precious commits. They just aren't letting you have new ones.

You're obviously talking to CoPilot.

Seizing the assets of the wealthy might pay for UBI... for one year. Then what?

We used to have a similar model, until they did away with the license nonsense and simply started funding public television from general taxes. The 5 people with no TV set complained for a while. But the savings were massive as there was no longer a need for an expensive enforcement agency.

How are parents supposed to be involved in it when their kid goes to a school library, creates a GMail account, signs up for Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, etc...all without the parent knowing? The social media sites aren't innocent victims here. They knowingly allow children to sign up without verifying parental consent, then use and/all data they can get their hands on...and there's exactly nothing a parent can do about it at the moment, short of chaining their kid to a radiator and denying them digital devices.

Could you imagine if it was a credit card? Oops--sorry, we let your 10-year-old get a credit card and he went to the store and bought $2k worth of candy and sat outside and ate it along with his friends. Better pony up the cash or we're going to put a lien on your house.

Your 13 year old walked into an AT&T store and we signed them up for cell service and gave them a new $1k iPhone. Sorry you found out about it when the bill arrived, but you better pay up because you're responsible for the actions of your child.
You wouldn't stand for that predatory behavior. But if you're ok with it, have your kid give me a call. I'll sell him a year of "consulting services" for $150k and send you the bill.

The age of contract in the US is typically 18. It should be enforced.

The problem is you. Not iOS and how it works. You are not unique on this issue.

You want to use an iPhone like an Android phone. It is not an Android device and as long as you continue to try to do it the same way you did on Android, the more frustrated you will be. The exact same thing happens to an iPhone user switching to Android that keeps trying to expect Android to behave like iOS.

Why do you want them to be the same? Why would you switch if its the same? Why can't you understand that it works differently?

If you switch from an ICE car to EV and are expecting an ICE experience you're going to be disappointed and think it's horrible. Same going the other direction from EV to ICE.

People with complaints like yours are so confusing because you don't seem to know what you want. You want an Android device with an iPhone label or something- Do you even know?

So does everyone who releases software have to fulfill every request made by COMPETITORS to avoid being find?

What is the criteria where you switch from being in control of your own destiny and suddenly becoming government controlled.

Apple is NO WHERE NEAR a monopoly, so what makes them different than me?

Maybe you have a problem exposing yourself.

And still nothing you've said makes unsolicited exposure of your genitals to another person ok.

You're like a rapist practically ... you don't get to determine what's ok for other people. You don't get to expose yourself without consent.

You might argue that we should just not care about genitals and stop indoctrinated our kids to be so obsessed/scared of their bodies, and I'd be onboard with that. No one should be ashamed of their body and it being seem.

Unsolicited dick pics means you, and your community that think it's ok are the ones with an issue. The fact that your relationships start/revolve around the dick should give you a hint at the issues you have.

You are the type of person this law was created for and you don't even recognize that the rest of the public doesn't think it's ok, now your trying to justify it.

You're fucked up dude.

It's not just a question of diversification.

With enough AI, you can control civil unrest at scale. You can listen to what people are saying in private conversations. You can punish people before they get a chance to organize and form a critical mass. AI is every dictator's wet dream!

Whoosh dude. Whoosh.

I'm implying that Windows isn't safe unless the NIC and all sorts of 3rd-party drivers are disabled.
