I think you might want to look around. That day is already here. We're awash in cheap screen technology.
Cheap shit screens, yes, burn-in, short lives, etc. Or, poor contrast and daylight viewability.
The company that has been selling/giving American's call data and other personal data (cell GPS, etc.) to our government
Oh, my sweet summer child, they all do that or they don't get to be companies any more.
Er, I mean, 30 FPS, ofc.
Real libertarians aren't just that.
Oh look, the no true libertarians fallacy. This is my surprised face
Wipeout XL on the Playstation (and probably other platforms, but that's the only place I've played it - I can't get the PC version to work) was heavily sponsored by Red Bull. It was kind of creepy because they were the only advertiser, so it wound up feeling kind of like a disc you got with a 4-pack. Except, of course, it was one of the most beloved Playstation games of all time, with 60 fps and an extremely great soundtrack, which saved it from mockery.
Not sure what you can get from an auto show to showcase real life build quality
You can't judge reliability that way, but you can examine the fit and finish. Those things tell you a lot about the vehicle. The interior is also very important, as it's where you spend your time.
The US has extremely stringent crash test requirements. Right now US, Euro, and Japanese standards are very close and are superior only in different areas, but for most of automotive history the US had the strictest standards.
We are a bit behind in emissions laws, except California which is being extra crappy about them in certain regards. You can't argue that there haven't been great accomplishments, though.
A backup camera is mandatory, GP was talking about video gauge clusters. As a proud self-proclaimed nerd who has had a variety of styles of dash but not a video one, I agree. I've had LED, LCD, combos, individual gauges, typical needle gauges, combos of types of gauges, and a really beautiful frosted glass long travel needle on a '60 Dodge. And to my mind, the very best of these were and are individual gauge types. They look both sporty and function, they are easy to maintain, they are easy to reconfigure if you choose, and they tend to be very reliable.
When a long-lived LED display technology becomes cheap and so ubiquitous that very reliably hardware is readily available I might change my mind, but so far I think more classic arrangements make the most sense for most cars. Upsell a video dash if you must, or put a high res trip computer in the middle (I admit the idea of having the option to put a map there appeals to me) but keep the simple and reliable stuff as the standard base. It will always look classy and it will always be a good idea.
Now adjust for inflation.
Oh no, I think shareholders deserve to be responsible for the actions of the corporations they invest in. I'm giving you parts of the story you're asking for and then you're making assumptions about what I believe based on things you didn't ask about, and only imagined. I'm not responsible for shit you made up.
I know you're trolling, but anyway, libertarians are those who want money to provide police protection from slaves, and are sure that they belong in the slave owning class.
What I am is in favor of profit being attached to responsibility, rather than being predicated upon being permitted to ignore externalities.
Content costs money to make, and companies are apparently obligated to "increase revenue" and "make profit."
Those two things are not the same, and conflating them is the height of crony capitalism cuckery.
Yes, businesses exist to make a profit. That is absolutely reasonable and understandable.
The way trading happens in stock markets has turned business into a game, where the only goal is to get ever higher numbers in order to please shareholders. There is no reward for steady, reliable businesses which make a reasonable profit year after year. They have to make more money every year or they are considered failures and the stock market punishes them for not doing anything and everything to achieve that goal, no matter how antisocial or indeed self-destructive.
1) Unless there is some serious violation of policy, nobody is terminated without notice where I work.
Nobody is terminated without notice anywhere. Giving notice is how you terminate someone.
2) This is a recent phenomenon.
What do you think that says?
3) Our employment is not terrible, nor different than a few years ago.
The people you're hiring disagree with the first part; the second is irrelevant.
4) It is common decency to communicate with your employer. You don't just ghost them or not show after being hired.
I've had plenty of employers with no common decency. Most of them, in fact.
Frankly, if you don't pay back your debts I don't really want to associate with you.
What about the "debt" from the car someone else bought in my name? A court in Nevada City, CA awarded a judgement against me, the evidence against me was a photocopy of a check cashing card with my SSN written on it in pen.
What about the "debt" from the banks which held my deposits for days even though they were payroll checks which never bounced but processed my withdrawals immediately, resulting in overdrawn accounts and then being reported to Chex Systems?
You're a clueless cuck.
More precisely, the detractors-- the few who actually get past the "problems can't be solved" stage-- move on to "the solutions can't be economically viable."
Blaming the activists for the failures of nuclear power and not the people designing and implementing them is not just ignorant, it's willfully so.
If you are interested in the economic analyses, use google. They are everywhere. We have shared them here time and again and people like you pooh-poohed them, so you're going to have to suck it up and accept that we're done trying to educate you when you weren't receptive dozens to hundreds of times in the past. Educate yourself, don't depend on us to do it for you when you've consistently ignored us.
The debate rages on: Is PL/I Bachtrian or Dromedary?
