It’s time for the Merchant Marines if that’s the case, those guys are actually trained for exactly this stuff, and most are former Sailors, Coasties, and Marines.
He is the presumptive GOP nominee. He is making history with 80+ felonies and a century of prison time in the sentencing guidelines. It’s not free. He’s paying.
I can’t really respond with my thoughts here because I’m licensed in four states and all of them are experiencing different shifts in real estate, which I find odd.
California listings are selling quick while Utah is taking a long time to get sold. Just an example.
Around here I’d say the average price dropped about 10-15% and it’s pretty slow. My neighbor sold in a week for over asking a few months ago, now my other neighbor is only getting lowballs and it’s been on the market for 3 weeks.
I’m not a realtor but I’ve been in the market for the past few months so I’m on redfin daily
All the Republican/Trump supporters I’ve ever met here in New Zealand (why? Who the hell knows)are batshit crazy. Most of them Christians too surprise surprise.
You can thank Rupert Murdoch and his cable TV “news” empire. He has propaganda channels internationally that all spout the same pro-Trump/right wing crap that idiots fall for.
Two Nevada State Patrol officers tracked Zuberi down at a Walmart parking lot in Reno the next day, July 16, the complaint says. He was in his car holding one of his children in the front seat while talking to his wife, who was standing outside the vehicle. He initially refused to get out of the car when the officers asked and instead cut himself with a sharp object and tried to destroy his phone, according to the complaint, which notes that Zuberi eventually surrendered and that the child wasn’t harmed.
The market is fucked. The house I bought 3 years ago has doubled in value. It’s absolutely insane.
And you might be thinking, Great sell it! But then I have to find a new house that isn’t being swallowed up by businesses paying cash for them (good luck). And we will never again see 2% mortgages in our lifetime, so I’m just going to die in this massively overvalued house.
My taxes have doubled in the six years we’ve had our house. Mortgage + taxes + insurance are still way cheaper than what dickbag landlords want to charge for an apartment half this size in the current market. It helps that I’m a DIYer and can fix pretty much anything that goes wrong with the house.
I don’t know what to say. You sound screwed but could have been screwed much worse. Sorry or congrats?
My landlord inherited the property and he is a lazy asshole. Every few years I change the dates on my lease and have him sign it. No plans to ever move. The lowest priced home that isn’t condemned in my city stands at half a million. A friend of mine was out bid on a home in the nearby city by 100k and in cash.
I don’t know what to say. You sound screwed but could have been screwed much worse. Sorry or congrats?
I think the bottom line is that almost everyone is screwed the way things are going. I’m screwed a lot less than other people since I got in at a (comparatively, now) low purchase price and great interest rate. My home insurance company has surprisingly not increased it’s rates for the last two years as well, so that’s a silver lining I suppose.
Same wrt buying a house at the right time. We do plan on selling ours though at or close to retirement. We’re both working pension jobs so we’ll just buy a modest RV and live off of our retirements + the proceeds from the eventual house sale (if there’s still an America and American market at that point). That’s the plan, anyway.
If you buy the hardware you should be able to turn it on. Jail breaking is fully moral in that situation.
The self driving is software that uses the hardware so should be paid for IMO. You should also be able to use your own software that’s open source on the hardware you own
Tesla is subject to some oversight by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. They recently forced a recall when they weren’t satisfied with Tesla’s software.
Does Teslas still have a disclaimer that the self-driving features aren’t self-driving and that if the driver is using the self driving features and there is an accident Tesla can’t be held liable?
If it was a matter of installing software on a laptop or phone, I’d agree with you, but installing software on a vehicle that can run over people is another matter, disclaimer or not.
Just like some cars are street legal and some cars are not, some software should be street legal and some software not. If the 3rd party software has been cleared by regulators for your Tesla, I’d be fine with it.
I did read it. They opened an investigation like 5 years after The Model S was released and people have died. Now, 6 years after that, something actually happens. 6 years of more accidents.
The same could be done with 3rd party software so there’s no difference and it’s not the same as the car system being regularly inspected.
I haven’t followed it closely to know all the deets, but some action being taken is better than none. I’m not out here defending Tesla or current government policies. I do believe that if I have to pass a driving test to operate a vehicle, then whatever self-driving software is installed should do the same.
If you’re trying to convince me that anyone should be able to take any random self driving software they found on the Internet, install it, and let it go wild on public streets, we’re going to have to agree to disagree.
It seems you are trying to prove that “random software” is unsafe compared to Tesla’s when you actually have no idea how safe Tesla’s is.
There are multiple companies and universities developing software for self driving cars.
What if the “random software” was developed and maintained by Volvo, would you still call it “random software”? Would you still claim that Tesla’s software is more safe to use?
Nope, if you look at a previous comment of mine in this thread, you’d see I’m fine with 3rd party software as long as it’s been approved by regulators. Same goes for Tesla’s software - if it hasn’t been approved by regulators prior to deployment on the streets, I’m against it.
Running your own software to control the automotive part of a car is probably not legal, since I assume the process of making a car street legal should requires an audit of said system.
Any software that passes whatever local safety standard should be installable (or software that doesn’t pass if the car is not being used on public roads).
Otherwise the car is not being sold, it’s being rented, and all the advertising that says anything about buying is fraud.
Good luck getting a homebrew OS for tesla cars to pass those tests. I don’t even know how that would work. I’d be curious to know what would happen if you would try to register and get a car through the TÜV for example that runs on custom firmware.
It’s similarly hard to make an airbag or seat belt, but you can still undo the bolt without the manufacturer in another country bricking your car without any considerations of your local laws.
Well-developed software built by professionals to industry standards and capable of doing a very important job effectively. And homebrew. You might be surprised at what sufficiently motivated nerds are capable of.
Homebrew software is unofficial/non-commercial software for systems which were originally set up with proprietary software (like gaming console or in this case car OSs).
Yeah, I’m really curious what this is going to do to the overall economy. Personally, I’ll definitely be spending way less on non-essentials once payments resume…
As if that sector wasn’t hit hard enough with the virus. I know this is anecdotal but not one restaurant or tourist trap I have been to has the numbers it used to have.
