Interesting legal question: If you put your fingerprint on your cars hood, and that fingerprint *somehow* becomes involved in a crime (EG: On a piece of evidence), is a warrant required to obtain said fingerprint from your person?

Software Engineer here: They won’t, which is why self-driving tech is a dead end.

Beat me to it; this was the absolute first thing I thought of when I read this.

“I do not understand the appeal of Amy Klobuchar like at all.”

“bloomberg is a republican and not a democrat.”

Problem is a credit card only shows the cost; it won’t be enough to prove you didn’t purchase the wrong gas.

Remember China has a *ton* of car companies; it’s no surprise that now the market is saturated that some of them will fail. That’s how emerging markets work: You get massive investment, growth, followed by contraction and consolidation.

And in totally unrelated news, the USAF has just put in an order for a production run for upgraded F-15's, with the updated avionics packages that we’ve been exporting for decades now.

The problem is manyfold. The largest problems are as follows:

Not unique at all whatsoever.  Everything is driven by the bottom line for the current quarter, in order to drive up stock prices.  Eventually, it bites you, but *never* for the current fiscal quarter.

Self-regulation is what you wanted; who wants to pay more in taxes to regulate companies so this doesn’t happen?

I’d even settle for one of those old MD-10s.

All I’m going to say here is this is *exactly* what happens when you have a corporate culture that chases profits and stock price ahead of all else. Eventually, all corporations end up like this; I’ve seen this culture take root multiple times, and it *always* ends the same way.

Understand, the stock market does *NOT* reflect actual value, it reflects the expectation that a company will add/lose value in the future.

We’re heading right for our Shadowrun/Cyperpunk corporate run future. I for one welcome our new corporate overlords.

Here’s my thought: As long as Uber/Lyft drivers can not set their own rates, I consider then employees as Uber, not the contractor, is dictating payment terms.

And then he’ll tell you how much it going to cost, and you say “F no, I’m going to find a cheaper guy”.
