Most people that want(ed) them have them....I read a good number of them got out of the EV when they could...and lost money on the resell....

Unless you have offstreet parking and a garage in the US in a home you own, you're like SOL for home charging which I feel is absolutely necessary to really conveniently use an EV....especially due to charging infrastructure not being a thing unless you are on the far east or west coast....?

The public aren't worthy of individual martyrdom.

Humanity are not, as a group, admirable. Humans sometimes are before the rest eat them.

Humanity is a hostile environment. Always has been.

Mastering what you own is educational fun so there's every reason to learn.

still news worthy, even without flock, police basically store a car, wrecked it, all under the guise that its part of a crime when not and are not rectifying it.

They should be held 110% liable for the car and forcing the person to forgo and go through all the painful hoops to get it back to the point where the price of a new car seams cheap.

Impounding should not happen with such a low amount of evidence, and IMO should come after some kind of court thing that prevents mistakes and they should assume all liability to any damage even if it was used in a crime.

The fact that it was AI that said it was the same car and the cops raised a question but didn't really question it is also noteworthy.

Volume is not quality. Those who object can go elsewhere.

Only destructive attacks can coerce wise choices.

"By a police department now forced to hire Morons. Why? Because society decided to Left No Moron Behind. That’s why."

Jordan v. City of New London, 1996. Police departments aren't required to hire steroid addled, white-supremacist dumb fucking retards. They just CHOOSE to do so.

Jordan v. City of New London, 1996. Police departments are literally allowed to refuse to hire people they think are too smart to work as police.

Which works out for them since qualified immunity holds if they claim the dumb steroid addled badged criminal retarded fucks called "police" only BELIEVE that they were somehow following the law while they do things like this.

It's nothing but corrupt fucking drug addled steroidal retarded pigs from top to bottom.

> Western Humanism came from the Catholic Church and ultimately Protestantism

Mostly agree though a synthesis of Catholicism, Protestantism, and Hermeticism seems to have been needed to form the American system. Ideas migrated from Scotland to America then back to Europe.

Double Determinism is incompatible with Jury Systems, for instance - that developed under Catholicism in England.

None of these New Atheists would ever go a day without the concepts of Natural Rights, Presumption of Innocence, Blackstone's Formulation, Universal Suffrage, etc. They'd rebel against the Divine Right of Kings, Prima Nocta, etc.

They would never be happy in Maoist China despite claiming to have no religious beliefs. Game Theory for the Collective is another cultural option but Westerners often can't even see the Christian waters they swim in.

Or, hey, maybe some of them secretly wish they were in Pol Pot's position in our society. Hopefully they all have 20/20 vision.

Sure - it does for the OS what puppet does for configuration.

I was at a Wendy's during a big data center outage and all the kiosks were down.

For some reason their down state is to drop to Windows Explorer. I found it interesting that they were managing their international fleet of probably tens if thousands of terminals using puppet to ensure deployment consistency.

The filesystem didn't appear to be readonly to the kiosk user, though I didn't test that. (have some sympathy for IT guys)

This new project could attest to the OS level integrity of those systems on a Redhat derived system. That way you know nobody slipped in a keylogger during a datacenter outage.

I'll take another look when they support the Debian OS family - Redhat makes some very unfortunate decisions these days. Debian Security does a better job for my requirements.

People with large scale problems don't seem to have much PDS and can evaluate systems without ad hominum fallacies. It's good for making a list of emotional commenters though.

The cops are lazy, not stupid.

Double-checking stuff is work, and there will be no repercussions for the individual cops, so why should they care?

Just call the towing company and go back to the donut shop.

Ha ha.

I wonder what their employer thinks about that.

AI is very good at writing COBOL.
