You are aware this is about 200 miles from NYC, right? NYC, one of, if not the single largest source of electricity consumption on the East Coast. This isn't actually "in the middle of the Atlantic"... it's a few miles off the coast.
heh, tried to share that on my FB:

To be fair, they called it Texas, first, not the USA.
This won't do anything. It's not like people are only using their phones to make an outgoing calls and then turning them off. People use smart phones to DO things. Whether that's accessing the internet or communicating with people via text or voice, the phone NEEDS radio signals to do that. "Man in the middle" systems exploit that for tracking. What Snowden and Huang are recommending isn't going to change that at all.
You keep telling yourself that. Even if a lawyer vetts it, that doesn't necessarily make it binding. Perhaps their lawyer advised them to sign it anyway, knowing that that particular clause was, in fact, not enforceable. Perhaps the lawyer didn't advise them anything of the sort because, at the time, it didn't matter to anyone. You don't know what you're talking about with respect to what they did or didn't understand in the contract.
I'll say it again, just because a contract is agreed to by both parties doesn't mean it's enforceable. Plenty of "legal" contracts get thrown out every day as non-binding or non-enforceable.
I can read. Just because you sign something you think is legal doesn't necessarily make it legal. There are hundreds of examples. Hell there was a recent slashdot article about people agreeing to give up their first born child in an EULA. Obviously that's not legally enforceable. If you think it is, you should do a lot more reading about the law.
It may have changed over the years...
My mom was a cashier (Farmer Jack's in MI) when I was growing up. When the tills were balanced at the end of the day, shortages came out of the cashier's pay. Interestingly, overages didn't go in the employees favor.
The fact that it happened didn't make it legal. Just another form of thief, actually.
Without ads isn't important to most people? I'll need a citation.
Ads are a great time to take a pee, get a new beer or soda, and chat with the SO.
So is the pause button.
That's irrelevant if the terms weren't legally binding. The question is whether or not the same type of terms apply to farm equipment as they do to personal vehicles.
The gunman had military training and was able to survive longer than a normal person would - he knew what he was doing (compared to the training of the cops)
That doesn't refute guruevi's points at all, even if the guy had been combat experienced, which he wasn't. Military training might prolong someone's resistance to siege tactics (such as blocking food/water/comms) but it doesn't eliminate them. Waiting him out was the right option if, in fact, he was no longer able to continue harming people from that position. If he still had a tactical advantage to pursue more targets, putting him down in whatever way they could makes sense. I haven't seen any evidence or statements that is the case though.
I suspect there's a bit of both things going on here. Some amount of concern that the shooter could "escape" from the position and resume shooting and some amount of "he killed one of ours, put him down".
Have you ever driven a car longer than 5 minutes? There is no way touch sensors in the steering wheel would be a beneficial addition. People switch hand position all the time. I'd dare say there isn't anyone who drives a car with a hand on the wheel at all times. Having the system disengage all the time would be ridiculous. I suppose you could put a timer along with the sensor, though. Still wouldn't stop anything. A person could easily rest a hand on the wheel and never once look at what's actually happening around them.
The right solution is to make it clear that this "autopilot" isn't anything more than an assisted cruise control, like every other manufacturer does, and people wouldn't think it was more capable than it is. Or simply let the dumbasses be dumbasses. It hasn't impacted car sales by any other manufacturer. Hell, there are some 30,000+ fatal accidents every year in the US with "regular" cars. Some are certainly manufacturer defects, but most are human error. Why should Tesla be held to a different standard than all other manufacturers?
I think you've got that backwards. Aside from a few (relative) technophiles most people don't know/understand or care that they are being tracked. They care about things being easy and cheap.
It's laughable that any advertiser on a website thinks those ads are driving sales in brick and mortar shops.
They don't think it. They know it. Their ads almost always contain coupons or specific ad codes so they can track sales to specific ads. I have gone to local shops and restaurants because of deals I saw online, and many other people have as well. They wouldn't continue to run the ads if they weren't working. Very few companies run untracked ads anymore.
Fair enough. I've never payed any attention to advertisements on facebook other than to see how ridiculously bad their "targeting" is for me so I wasn't aware they had coupons of any kind. I've still never known anyone who went to an actual store to buy things. Everyone I've ever known buys online when they see ads online.

It's laughable that you say it's laughable. Facebook ads do a fine job of driving people to brick and mortar. Arguably, it's one of the best ways to get customers in the door, especially since Facebook is the modern version of "word of mouth".
Based on what? I have not met (and yes, I'm aware that my anecdote is not evidence) a single person who's ever seen an ad on facebook (or any other website) and then gone to a brick and mortar store to buy the item. I have seen lots of people buy the item from their computer, phone, tablet, whatever. My point is that people who pay attention to the ads at all are far more likely (in my experience) to buy online rather than "go shopping".
Heisengberg might have been here.
