wow, just wow!

> And lots of people don't like foreigners.

I thought we were talking about this comment. You created a strawman, and now use derogatory comment toward me. This makes me end this discussion here.

Nice strawman you have there!

But actually not like and hate are the same only in your dictionary.

Its not. Hurting them is wrong.

I also don't like junkies. Is that also wrong? Why do you tell me what i should like, and based on what ethics do you tell me what is morally right?

What if I tell you that liking foreigners is morally wrong where I live? We don't hurt them, but we don't like them because they keep telling us what we should do, and keep trying to conquer us for a millennia? Still we live in peace since a long time, we treat our guests well, but we don't categorically like them. Each and every guest can become an individually liked person, and even unliked ones are treated fairly (given a fair trial before execution ;) Hint for autists: It was a joke)

Jokes aside: Is this immoral? Why?

Actually you can have a place like that. There are places where you cannot enter unless dressed in a way, but there is no specific guest list.

A private business is not a public place.

No, they are not.

Their marketing is annoying me.

Those safety checks need to be run continously, actually, or the software will not get the certifications necessary to be released on the roads. There are passive means: practices and coding guidelines, static checks, but also active measures: defensive coding, redundancy, continously active safety check logics.

So my original point was: it doesn't matter if you use direct drive or a transmission, as both will be controlled by software, and ultimately the safety of that software will determine whether the System is safe overall. The same design principles and safeguards will need to be implemented in both cases to provide the needed integrity.

But I doubt there are any patents on this. I guess it would be illogical to demand vendors to use patents by someone. But there are lots safety regulations on the topic.

Lol?

Electric servos for steering wheels use safety critical code, with lot of safety checks, and use direct drive. No need for silly patent for common sense out of the United States.

Indeed I do, but also many other unnecessary innovations came out of SV, as well as some interesting Research, which end up used for solving problems which don't exist.

Most of the research coming out of SV tech companies nowadays is yet annother chat platform, and reimplementing broken C code in broken JavaScript code.

Is it making the World a better place? I don't think so. Is it making it a worse place? Only for other developers :)

How cannot you have a continous checking logic in the driver logic of a gearless drive?

Let me help: you can, and I have taken part in developing one.

> Lots of people don't like xenophobia.

And lots of people don't like foreigners.

> Like the hoteliers who don't allow gay people to stay ?

Even that is OK in my opinion. The market will sort it out. There are clubs where gay people can have a good time. If gay accomodation becomes a niche market, there will be people seizing that opportunity. The law shall not discriminate people, but telling people what to think and forcing them doing stuff they don't agree with is dictatorship.

Actually the gear shifting would also be done by logic, so nothing gained by that.

Also, if it was xenophobic. So what? Doesn't a businessman have the right to choose who to do business with?

I believe free trade is a good thing, but seems like many americans mistook free trade for gunboat diplomacy (see opening of Japan). In my understanding free trade is free as in free will: both parties voluntarily take part in the exchange of goods and services.

Also one can be patriotic in a way that he/she (no xe!) wants to preserve the cultural heritage, which is not only buildings and artifacts in museums, but also customs. Customs can be preserved by people sustaining them by continuously acting according to them. Local customs can be ruined pretty quickly via a huge influx of tourists.

Example: In my younger day I could see elderly people sitting in the small parks around playgrounds and children playing at some parts of the city. Now in these parts of the city what I can see is playgrounds have been closed. Public places have been closed, no elderly talking, playing chess on a summer afternoon. Instead there are "party tourists" littering, being loud and drunk an sometimes acting atrociously as early as 2pm on weekdays. A local custom (socialization of the locals) has been wiped by tourism. Slowly locals are freeing the "party district".

I can understand why one wants to avoid such situation (even as Michelin -tourists are not this troublesome, but starts a trend, which can even lead here). Is this xenophobic, then be so. I understand why people want to be xenophobic then.

So an electron based JS client for a cloud service Accessed over the WWW is a web app (not a simple app. although I'd prefer if those were also not referred to as apps)?

But a JS heavy website is an app.

Do I understand correctly that the wishful thinking value of 75% photovoltaic conversion efficiency is plotted in the diagram?

So nowadays app means a website.

simply install "an USB firewall" into the periscope controller (not the xbox, but the usb host).

but my thought exacty: put a prepared controller to "game room" (sure there is such a thing on a nuclear sub). sabotage controllers. wait until one in "game room" gets plugged into periscope. Profit.

It is not about the 30k$, I guess (around 10 subs, so circa 300k$ savings is not a bug thin for the army), but the spirit is the key, as the mindset will spread, and can potentially lead to huge savings.

Is anybody still using Apache?

I'm really iterested on the whys (in addition to the obvious legacy reasons).

Thanks to Allah the almighty Jihad is still an allowed surname in the EU.

I guess it is a sign of the health of the economy of the EU.

I'm not sure how you reached this conclusion from this news, given some insider infos from other comments.

Maybe you have a relevant story to tell about DDG?

And even given the power and technology, what would be the effect on global weather?

Wow! It is just as good!

So this is a project to create the "Maxwell equations of Quantum Physics"?

> You can't go right by starting an "attack" on a bunch of people of very diversified backgrounds and ideologies.

Yes I can. I just did it.

Btw. according to the law if I attacked people of homogenous backgrounds I could be punished (for racism and hate crimes). But Diverse people? Well...

Also: don't tell me what to do.

note: your server is down (the one linked in your profile)

And what different argument? By giving them away money for free in addition to the amounts they ransack from the rest of the world already? (just think about 1$ = 1€ as an example)

I'd be surprised if this "community" could gather money for anything remotely useful.

Also: I'd like to see the outcome of a fundraising, and the demographics of the donators, to see how many pledge outside of CA, and outside of the USA. This would give me an impression about the extent of the Trump is Satan and the world is about to end mindset. (imho nothing changes, things proceed with trump as before. business as usual)

Just to make it clear: I'd not give a single penny for it, I care for the health of US citizens only as much as they care for the health of citizens of other countries.
