That's not how it works.

How it works is the company is enticed to outsource the work to a contractor because the contractor is actually cheaper --because most of the workers are H1B. http://www.epi.org/blog/new-da...

The key phrase is "willing to work". Obviously if he pays more he'll find more talent. That he goes to India *instead of paying more* is literally proof that he ( or his company ) "cheaps out".

3D is a generally awful experience for most people. It's disorienting, uncomfortable, and doesn't look good for about 99% of the events that took the effort to record in 3D. It was also insanely expensive for a gimmick. It's the same gimmick that has been recurring every 20 or 30 years since the 50s. It still doesn't look any better than it did when it was first introduced. And, as has already been mentioned, having to wear glasses to watch tv sucks. For those that already wear glasses it double sucks.

If you have access to someone's phone, and a legitimate reason to ask, the phone company can easily give you their identity based on the phone's MEID and SIM card information. If it's a burner phone, you can still get more information about how/where it was purchased in a much shorter time than any of this information will provide about the person.

You are aware this is about 200 miles from NYC, right? NYC, one of, if not the single largest source of electricity consumption on the East Coast. This isn't actually "in the middle of the Atlantic"... it's a few miles off the coast.

heh, tried to share that on my FB:

To be fair, they called it Texas, first, not the USA.

This won't do anything. It's not like people are only using their phones to make an outgoing calls and then turning them off. People use smart phones to DO things. Whether that's accessing the internet or communicating with people via text or voice, the phone NEEDS radio signals to do that. "Man in the middle" systems exploit that for tracking. What Snowden and Huang are recommending isn't going to change that at all.

You keep telling yourself that. Even if a lawyer vetts it, that doesn't necessarily make it binding. Perhaps their lawyer advised them to sign it anyway, knowing that that particular clause was, in fact, not enforceable. Perhaps the lawyer didn't advise them anything of the sort because, at the time, it didn't matter to anyone. You don't know what you're talking about with respect to what they did or didn't understand in the contract.

I'll say it again, just because a contract is agreed to by both parties doesn't mean it's enforceable. Plenty of "legal" contracts get thrown out every day as non-binding or non-enforceable.

I can read. Just because you sign something you think is legal doesn't necessarily make it legal. There are hundreds of examples. Hell there was a recent slashdot article about people agreeing to give up their first born child in an EULA. Obviously that's not legally enforceable. If you think it is, you should do a lot more reading about the law.

The fact that it happened didn't make it legal. Just another form of thief, actually.

So is the pause button.

That's irrelevant if the terms weren't legally binding. The question is whether or not the same type of terms apply to farm equipment as they do to personal vehicles.

That doesn't refute guruevi's points at all, even if the guy had been combat experienced, which he wasn't. Military training might prolong someone's resistance to siege tactics (such as blocking food/water/comms) but it doesn't eliminate them. Waiting him out was the right option if, in fact, he was no longer able to continue harming people from that position. If he still had a tactical advantage to pursue more targets, putting him down in whatever way they could makes sense. I haven't seen any evidence or statements that is the case though.

I suspect there's a bit of both things going on here. Some amount of concern that the shooter could "escape" from the position and resume shooting and some amount of "he killed one of ours, put him down".

Have you ever driven a car longer than 5 minutes? There is no way touch sensors in the steering wheel would be a beneficial addition. People switch hand position all the time. I'd dare say there isn't anyone who drives a car with a hand on the wheel at all times. Having the system disengage all the time would be ridiculous. I suppose you could put a timer along with the sensor, though. Still wouldn't stop anything. A person could easily rest a hand on the wheel and never once look at what's actually happening around them.

The right solution is to make it clear that this "autopilot" isn't anything more than an assisted cruise control, like every other manufacturer does, and people wouldn't think it was more capable than it is. Or simply let the dumbasses be dumbasses. It hasn't impacted car sales by any other manufacturer. Hell, there are some 30,000+ fatal accidents every year in the US with "regular" cars. Some are certainly manufacturer defects, but most are human error. Why should Tesla be held to a different standard than all other manufacturers?
