I'm saying if you solve the issue that would push somebody to do that, nobody will invade you at 2am and you won't have to have a gun, and more people will be alive at the end of a given day.

I would have though that someone "Way Smarter Than Me" would know prevention is better than cure.

Why are you getting home invaded at 2am? What social issue is pushing them to do that?

Solve that for a fraction of the cost of sending someone out to escalate the situation and shoot everyone they see, and remember your life is more important than your stuff.

Come on, they were having a lovely circle-jerk about privacy violations and malware and stuff, why would you ruin that by pointing out that you can literally just use a different program for your email/calendar

Expecting someone to write a fully sourced and laid out rebuttal to someone who didn't provide a single source for an assertion that anyone with a passing involvement in cars knows is utterly false is also blatantly and stupidly wrong.

That's not true at all. Just blatantly and stupidly wrong.

This is the same critique with all of Elon's new transport ideas. Hyperloop, underground tunnels, and now this - I think that he's just obsessed with inescapable metal coffins.

Also he needs to google "crumple zones". There's a reason why contemporary cars aren't made of hardened materials, and that's because people tend to die on impact if the vehicle can't absorb the force of it.

You could at least read the headline that specifies it's federal investigation.

Sunk cost fallacy.

I know how the economy works. I am specifically criticising how the economy works. That you assume I don't know how it works because I don't accept it without complaint says more about you than me.

I'm not the OP, but this is a really easy one to field.

No human has ever done enough work to justify $600,000,000. Even if you could claim that someone created that much wealth, they didn't do it on their own - they did it off the back of hard work of hundreds of other people who will never see a penny of that money, despite earning it for them.

I cannot wait for the Slashdot comments on this one - I wonder how long it'll be until some AC says that they're sending in the lawyers because all diversity efforts are anti-white propaganda paid for by George Soros and they don't want the normies to find out.

They already know where you are within a hundred feet or so via cell-tower triangulation. Not allowing precise location data is shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted.

In addition to what Martin Blank said, Assange's bail conditions were incredibly lenient. He was put up in a comfortable house in Norfolk by one of his supporters who acted as guarantor for his bail. This isn't a case of him accidentally doing something that was a crime, he had to go out of his way to violate the bail conditions.

He skipped bail. That's a crime. You don't get to ignore every law just because you think that another country's attempt to prosecute is without merit.

I'm just going to copy paste this to everyone who doesn't understand the issues around Assange's continued evasion of justice:

He skipped bail. That's a crime. You don't get to ignore every law just because you think that another country's attempt to prosecute is without merit.
