They would only be forced to if she filed a lawsuit against the anonymous caller. People have done that before.

Freak out a little then masturbate all morning for sure.

And I've been slowly replacing windows with Linux since the arrival of Windows 10.

Or, you know, change emissions regulations so that cars can be made smaller again.

Hate to tell you there's no singular villain trying to kill kids with cars.

Literally the only reason cars got this big is because minimum efficiency is the result of dividing mpg by square footage, and by law the number has to go down every year. I do not blame auto makers for simply making the same popular models a little bigger with each refresh so as not to have to redesign from scratch the things that took 100 years of engineering effort to get to the present level of function.

The takeaway is to never hire people from EA into decision making roles.

Woah, only USD 12 for a GENUINE fake cracked copy someone first downloaded from a torrent?

Never take tech advice from someone who hasn't removed the device manufacturers advertisement from their email signature

Thank God they're exempt from any gun control laws, and that defending yourself against these sweet angels in blue carries a massive mandatory sentence! You wouldn't want some sadistic fucks go around hurting people then having the legal system protect them!! Oh, wait...

Looking at it another way: we're all guinea pigs if we consider untested public policy that should work in theory.

Self-driving is not untested, but the problem is that deep down AI is just a lot of statistically derived rules and life is random and will inevitably find a loophole. Technically it's still less likely to kill you on average, maybe even on average if you exclude drunk driving, street racing, and the like.

It's really a philosophical question: would you take dying by your own fuck-up over dying because an AI confused a piece of cardboard for a brick wall or pedestrian?

I think the sweet spot is having the AI back up the human instead of the other way around, but that won't sell as well as reading a book on your commute.

They could have just voted Republican if they were just going to oppose the same policies they voted for...

Not the Logitech I became a fan of, glad they updated the name to Logi reflecting they're half the company they used to be.

I miss the old Logitech software and Logitech Gaming Software, from like 10 years ago.

Now I can't even launch the driver software to adjust my webcam or mouse behavior from my work computer because of legitimate Internet security settings preventing random background apps from exfilteating data, which is exactly what it's trying to do.

Customer support of course blames the user for their app that will never finish loading until it talks to the mother ship.

To anyone who ever says they don't care when a political party they don't care about goes after people they don't care about, remember: this one particular court could have gone the other way, and people going after you can try as many times as they (or you) can afford to fight.
