ooh, ick, you have a point there.

Wonderful, a specific company to boycott forever!

smh. fookin’ dog whistlers. As an anarcho-passivist I’d really rather not have to punch nazis, but it’s getting to the point where it seems particularly necessary, and unavoidable.

For me it more about the fact that if a court found that you or I were guilty and had to pay a fine, we’d have no choice but to pay that fine. The law has to apply to everyone, equally.

“…as a result of the rich getting richer…”

C’mon donny, pay up. You’ve got so much pocket grift, Shirley $5m is nothing to you.

Endlessly! That’s infinite sinnin’, bey bey!

Post title was mis-spelled. sigh, can’t escape the mis-information.

Probably that image is just some guy that was late for an appointment.

Ya’ know he’s only been accused. Could be it wasn’t him. Could be he was innocent. Could be those Flock cameras, with all the enshittification going on, just fall apart on their own. What with climate change we’re getting some pretty high winds these days, after all.

Here ya go, Friend:

WASHINGTON, June 25 (Reuters) - The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration proposed on Thursday to end a government requirement for manual brake pedals ​in self-driving vehicles, a move that would make it easier to deploy ‌such vehicles on U.S. roads. The proposal would not apply to vehicles with human driver controls and NHTSA said it would not drop braking performance requirements, including strict stopping distance standards for ​self-driving vehicles.

It is one of a number of changes proposed by ​the agency to facilitate the roll-out of self-driving vehicles. NHTSA is in the ⁠process of developing safety performance tests for self-driving vehicles as part of ​a separate standard. Automakers have previously expressed frustration with the agency’s slow review of ​autonomous vehicles. Under the law, fully self-driving vehicles do not need NHTSA approval if they have required human controls, like steering wheels, brake pedals or mirrors. NHTSA has authority to grant petitions to ​allow up to 2,500 vehicles per manufacturer yearly to operate on U.S. ​roads without required human controls, but the agency has spent years reviewing several exemption petitions ‌without ⁠taking action.

Last year, NHTSA said it was streamlining reviews of those exemption requests. In March, NHTSA said it was seeking public comment on Amazon’s (AMZN.O), opens new tab self-driving unit Zoox to deploy up to 2,500 purpose-built, steering-wheel-free robotaxis without human controls. In 2018, GM (GM.N), opens new tab petitioned ​NHTSA to deploy up ​to 2,500 ⁠cars without steering wheels or brake pedals on U.S. roads, before withdrawing the petition in 2020. The Detroit automaker ​sought NHTSA approval to deploy vehicles without human controls again ​in 2022 ⁠but that petition was withdrawn in October 2024. Separately, NHTSA on Thursday withdrew a Biden-era proposal to adopt a voluntary national framework for the evaluation and oversight ⁠of ​self-driving vehicles. The agency said automakers expressed concern the ​requirements were too stringent, while some safety advocates said it would not provide NHTSA with sufficient oversight to ​ensure an appropriate level of safety.

It is very difficult to accurately track the source of a quote on the internet." Abraham Lincoln

The ‘big buyers’ get in early, before you or I can. Then you and I get a chance, which drives the price up. The ‘big buyers’ sell at the peak, and that forces the price down to at or below the price you or I bought in. So not quite understanding, we fall for the ‘sunk cost fallacy’ and hold on for dear life. The ‘big buyers’ continue to sell. And that’s where this situation has gotten to so far.
