RTFA, not in this case. Waymo didn't pay fines for real safety violations around school busses in Austin.

Don't forget this part:
"In a statement, Waymo did not answer why it had refused to halt operations around Austin schools or answer if it would issue a recall. "We’re deeply invested in safe interaction with school buses. We swiftly implemented software updates to address this and will continue to rapidly improve," Waymo said."

A human would be subject to fines for this. But if you are a giant corporation with no person in your vehicle well you get a pass to make it better, as many times as it takes. Fuck that, the robot owner is liable and needs to pay fines just like humans do (and also improve the robot). Carrots and sticks.

Why are we so easily socially engineered to do these things?

Right, nothing to do with changed market conditions for new products, nope couldn't be that.

We have a history of memory crunches and storage crunches in the past, for various reasons. Each time when the logjam cleared the market improved and was full of new cheaper products.

Yes, there will be used hardware too, not all of it fried, mostly not the kind Crucial sells anyway.

> Under the new law, "Trump Accounts" are available to any American child under 18 with a Social Security number and their families can fund the accounts

So, if I have kids but I'm not having more kids in the next 3 years, then why would I want a Trump account vs my own account somewhere?

Seems good if you are having a kids, its free money to invest for a long time. But if you have to fund the account you don't need a Trump account.

When you send in an army of robots that annoy humans, and you refuse to hear what the humans have to say about that, then you are subject to street justice. You probably won't like street justice, better to be friendly to your future customers up front.
