You also have to give them achievable parameters. "You are always responsible" is not realistic. In some cases someone else is, in fact, responsible. And that's the rub of regulation, not that I think this means we shouldn't regulate, but it's going to always be true that doing it well takes effort. You can only ever reasonably expect that people are moving forwards (at best) and doing what is reasonably and humanly possible, and hopefully advancing the state of the art. Determining whether or not they are doing that is inherently complex.

That's how it used to work here in the USA. Then the subsidies were terminated in favor of forcing students to get loans. Then a US senator led a campaign to prevent those students from discharging that debt through bankruptcy. That senator's name was (and is) Joseph R. Biden.

The boomers got the handout. I don't want anything they didn't get.

I don't expect to get it. I do expect to immediately discount any bullshit from the hypocrites who got it and think I shouldn't get it.

You didn't get it, and you're insisting nobody deserves it because you didn't get it, which is sad. You're sad.

OK, how do we provide this feedback? The article is chock-full of links, but not one for that. It gives strong "get fucked" energy.

Since it's not worth putting out the effort to figure out where to submit some comments they definitely won't give a fuck about anyway: In no way is it a "first class" anything when it's only for GNOME and only in a snap. Let us know when it's ready for prime time so we can test it out and decide if we care. There's a 0% chance I'm going to use GNOME or snap.

Yes.

So you moved the goalposts and declared victory? Good work, clown.

The difference is that it's not mass transit. It arguably should have been regulated more though, because and only because it cost The People money to chase after the dead.

Your solutions don't solve anything. e.g. "The department can't evade the bits they're actually able to do" means only that the argument will be over what they are able to do.

It still can be, if you've got a couple hundred bucks.

There's a lot of people here who support nuclear because glowing stuff making power is cool, and for no other reason. They then constructed a shambolic cluster of borrowed bullshit to support their belief, which it doesn't; they're holding it up all on their own, and none of that crap is meaningful at all when we factually don't need nuclear. Maybe we did once, but we sure don't now.

Exactamente. I had friends that got stop-lossed for Iraq. Even if I were morally bankrupt enough to sign up for a four year stint potentially murdering people so that oil companies or Halliburton can make more profit, I wouldn't be dumb enough to believe they wouldn't keep me for longer.

Well, friend, it involves a student loan that I was promised I had a ~3% rate locked in on which is currently only not accruing over 6% because of SAVE which the rapeublicans want to destroy.

If only my Pine64 hadn't killed itself in less than a year, I might trust them to do hardware. I wouldn't buy a raspiphone either.

Crush-roasted is exactly how I like my oligarchs.

That's not a thing that happened. What happened there is that six people decided to die in a can together. Anyone who knew anything about this project knew it was shit. Tons of us Slashdotters, who had no skin in the game whatsoever as we were neither investors nor even potential passengers knew enough about it to know that it was a folly. We knew this solely from freely publicly available information. Everyone who got on that sub either chose to risk their lives on what was obviously a shit idea, or chose to not find out whether they were risking their lives on a shit idea when they could have found out from the phone they carry everywhere with them, in a matter of minutes.
