has anyone ever gotten in actual legal trouble for torrenting? I know there was that one kid that a record label made an example out of for using napster a long time ago
surely the engine links to rather than contains proprietary third-party code. professional software developers wouldn't just copy-paste from another codebase into their project, right? that would be insane.
You're being sarcastic but they actually did design their new headquarters with zero regard for the environment. They built it in an area where there is not enough housing for their employees and public transportation is non-existent. The parking structure is larger than the office building. The building itself is like a giant greenhouse requiring cooling even in the winter.
This is an example of the difficult (politically not technically) problem of companies externalizing costs. Apple washing their hands of the burden of maintaining software for old hardware is no different than Exxon washing their hands of the burden of capping abandoned oil wells. In both cases the company saves money by costing society more.
I feel like if you can't come up with the idea to try pushing in the clutch, shifting into neutral, turning off the key, or applying the handbrake within ten seconds you should have your license taken away. and if you design a car where those things wouldn't work you should go to prison.
I don't have a lot of experience with automatic shifting cars, but I believe that they still have neutral, keys, and handbrakes. If they don't then their designers should go to prison.
it kinda seems to me like teenagers are abstaining from behaviors altogether, not just risky ones. possible explanations that come to mind are widespread anhedonia (depression) and the the fact that suburban kids who are too young to drive can't leave their homes without their parents.
Ya the idea that buses are better than streetcars because they can go around traffic is just completely detached from reality. Maybe a bus can go around one double-parked car but during rush hour that's not happening. It was always just an excuse to avoid taking an inch of space away from cars for dedicated transit right of way.
I live in Toronto and avoid taking streetcars because I have seen significant delays precisely because of parked cars or some other blockage.
Of course in my opinion this simply means banning parking on streetcar routes; or having dedicated streetcar lanes where a blockage simply isn’t possible.
Streetcar routes in Toronto which do not share the road are fine.
