Comment As usual...JERK the KNEE... (Score 1) 102

Another over reaction based on politics and parent apathy. Rather than be involved in your kids life and supervise the online issues, we'll just block ALL online activity. Scientist have been convinced that youth brains were being "rewired" but have failed to find any proof. It's not the electronic activity that is hurting them, its' the LACK of responsible social interaction. They grow up lacking a conscience or empathy because they never see other "real" people or suffer consequences for their bad interactions.

For the young folks...Us ancients would pack up our rigs, and drive to some shitty venue and shoot the F out of each other in the conference room. Standing up and pointing at the guy you just head shot, shouting "BOOM" is way more fun socially.

Yes, and he's also been saying that we'll have full self driving cars by the end of the year for the last 15 years or so. He said that his tunnel in Vegas would be full of self driving Teslas. He said that 10 years ago you'd be able to summon your Tesla from across the country. He said he'd build a hyperloop from LA to SF. He said that we'd have humans on Mars by 2021. He said that he'd have a fleet of over 1,000,000 fully autonomous robotaxis driving around by 2020. He said Tesla owners would be able to let their Teslas be used as taxis that would pay for themselves when the owner wasn't using them.

Elon says a whole lot of stuff. The vast majority of it is absolute bullshit that he's spewing to further his wealth and power. The fact that anyone believes anything that comes out of his mouth anymore surprises me.

I remember a time when Slashdot used to get excited about pushing the bounds of tech and engineering to tackle big problems.

Maybe people are just tired of him spewing absolute bullshit as fact while stealing our money, destroying our government, literally hurting and killing people, and just generally being an unlikable little troll that no one would even care about if he hadn't managed to leverage himself into a fuck ton of wealth and power?

The very concept of a 'wealth tax' is just retarded.

I start a company. It grows. I hire more people. More growth. It's popular, great place to work, sells a bajillion widgets. One day someone decides it's worth $500mm. The next day they seize 80% of my company?

This is different from property taxes how?

We tax unrealized gains there already. Why not do that with wealth as well?

All those great corporations and TexA$$ still makes less than half the money California does. Having lots of large corporations just means your politicians are giving out tax breaks on your dime. Those same corporations will move in 2 years to where the NEXT tax break is. The Mega-Corps are extra-national moving assets around to avoid taxes...Apple comes to mind. They paid Ireland so little the EU complained..

(No. I'm not congratulating you on that. I'm wafting the stench away. You can smell San Fran-Shit-N-Go from Yuma now.)

No that's Wellton you are smelling. SF smells like fish not cow shit.

I've a friend who runs one of those Gazillion $$$ combines. He's said it before," I NEED air conditioning, and GPS. Everything else is BS."

The ban on private individuals is a bad idea...

Private individuals, PI's, Skip Tracers and reporters SHOULD be able to use such software freely. Police, and the Government NEED to provide reasonable suspicion to a court and get a writ.
This kind of tool can be incredibly useful, or incredibly invasive. The real question is who(m?) do you trust as the gate keeper. I'd nominate the EU data protection people but there is no agency or entity in
the US I'd trust not to monetize the data regardless of law.
