I think BeauHD is a dipshit for posting this dupe

False, I just did this and it did nothing.

I see you didn't read the Toyota unintended acceleration report by the Barr Group, and have nothing of value to add to this conversation.

Lack of planning? All private companies, departments, and individual teams plan for the projects that they implement. All public city, county, and state organizations plan for the projects in their area. Decentralized planning may look like no planning to someone from China. But, that's certainly far from true. There's lots of planning going on. It's not controlled from some central location. One of the benefits of this model is that it tends not to overbuild and overspend when the need isn't necessary, such as what happens with central planning. Local municipalities and businesses tend to build what they need and are economically punished when they overbuild.

What about top speed limiting?

And speaking of which, what about an emergency stop button? They've had a number of self-driving vehicle runaways which could have been stopped with such a thing.

Yes, overproduction is necessary. But it's also waste. And if you get too much of it, then it's unsustainable.

Fine words from a coward.

I don't want anything in the browser that I have to worry about whether it's turned on and spying on me or not.

Anything like that should be an add-on so it can be not just disabled but removed (assuming it's shipped with the browser.)

My pet Firefox peeve is with mobile. It's shitty and getting shittier. Not only does it have a javascript-related memory leak they haven't bothered to fix for many years, but now it's hanging when trying to upload images. It works once or twice and then on the third try the browser hangs. It takes a long time to get through to kill it too so it looks frankly like yet another memory leak.

Same for scrollbar width. Can't even fix that with a setting reliably, have to edit a file.

Why do I get the feeling that it will be just like the last time where all of the people who were acting irresponsibly will get bailed out while the taxpayer gets stuck with the bill? Until the irresponsible actors are held accountable for their own behavior, they have no incentive to change.

It is rare to have someone that says "Hey, I don't think I know what the market is doing anymore, so here is your money back."

Usually, it's "Yes I do know better than you and better than the market, give your money to me."

Then again, this guy made more than enough money in 2008, he can just live off the cash.

I should have clarified - if you want your choice of quality accessories designed for your tablet, you need to buy an iPad.

But yes, if you want to buy something that somebody describes as working with your tablet, you can get something.

It is easy to find "a" case/accessory. But quality matters. If you want something designed for your Android tablet that is high quality, you may be very limited.

I had to replace an Android tablet once when I dropped it - inside a case. After that I went looking for the best possible case. I found a model but they did not make one for the tablet I had previously. So I bought an iPad and paid less than $30 for the case - less than insurance would have cost.

I personally prefer supcase. But like I said, the benefit of the iPad is that tons of people make accessories for it. You have a plethora of choices.

I have no doubt you can find something for your android. But will you brag about it?

So you took a break out from complaining about the allegedly unfair treatment of China to complain about the allegedly unfair treatment of Russia? It seems like you only respect fascism.

I had over 230k on my 1989 240SX when I sold it. It had all expected compression and ran perfectly. Got to love timing chains, it had never had any engine work done. 200k isn't impressive from any Japanese car since about 1980.

Mainstream country music has been pop rock with twang and even dumber lyrics (not that pop is typically profound) for decades now. Bo Burnham's country song really says it a lot better than anything else I've seen yet.
