My money says she's more likely to turn out to be Europe's Elizabeth Holmes than their Elon Musk. Another just so story too good to be true.

For providing hundreds of thousands of gentry progressives the opportunity to angrily wave their hankies at the Trump administration! Surely victory is at hand!

Considering France is about to elect National Rally and Germany the AfD, and Britain Reform, I'm pretty sure America being embraced by the rest of the world will not be a problem, especially if we *don't* elect a Democrat.

Happy Alberta Day!

They'll still need people to run on the giant hamster wheels to generate the power to run the datacenters.

Nobody is denying nations and cultures change over time. But who gets to decide how they change? The people within in it or those outside of it? Can we choose who we want to become, or are we obliged to accept whatever change the cat drags in?

btw, I wasn't aware national policy was dictated by writing poetry on the base of a statue, over twenty years after the stature, which had nothing to do with the poem, was erected.

In case you're interested, an actual example of policy implemented by the Federal government would be be Naturalization Act of 1790.

You leftists seem to have a talent for spouting off fine sounding platitudes with no basis in reality, whatsoever.

Falcon Heavy successfully launched its first time. But that's the only one I'm aware of.

Right. Like the proposition that admitting China to the WTO would cause them to democratize and dump the commies after they became prosperous. How’s that working out?

Her old man was a hedge fund manager, so she was already rich before she sang note one. Her feet haven’t touched the ground since the day she was born.

Managers are learning the same lessons they learned with outsourcing. Nobody takes care of you like you.

Can’t somebody come up with a process that converts researchers into CO2?

Misinformation is nothing new. The responsibility for vetting the information you consume is with you. Yeah, yeah, I know... you're competent to make a distinction... BUT THOSE OTHER PEOPLE...!

I'm not sure that's a great analogy. In the case of the horse, the owner can reasonably be expected to exercise control of the horse such that he can prevent it from behaving in a way that horses are known to behave.

In the case of the car, it's not under the owner's control, and software bugs produce unpredictable behavior. They aren't known in advance, and they can't be.

In the case of injury or property damage I can see suing the manufacturer for liability, but attaching a punishment to an equipment malfunction sounds rather pointless, unless negligence on the part of the manufacturer can be demonstrated.

I suppose as a practical legal matter it would play out that the injured party would sue the owner (or his insurance company), and the insurance company would in turn sue the manufacturer. That's frequently how accidents caused by mechanical failure are handled now.

I'm not sure about that. Catching shoplifters doesn't generate any revenue. Traffic tickets do.

I'm not entirely sure what the point is. It's not like owner has control over the car, so what is he being punished for? And how do you punish a car?

It's already illegal to use IQ tests (with some exceptions). That's why employers used to use degrees as a proxy, although recently they seem to be getting cautious about that, too.

The object of the game is to make sure the employer has no objective data by which politically preferred people can be disqualified.
