I think the courts and laws in your country do tell you that.

For example, fund terrorist organizations and see how far it gets you.
Or offer to send money and fund the person who kills <insert name of political leader you dislike>.

One might suggest if you don't like the laws of your country that you work to change them, follow them, or enjoy the laws of your country in whatever fashion they apply to you.

US policy on Extraditing people.

"The political incidence test looks to whether the offence is "part of and incidental to a political struggle". Initially, it did not concern itself with the motives of the offender" from Wikipedia. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FPolitical_offence_exception

When the Trump said what he said he basically implied that this was part and incidental to a political struggle. I agree with OP, and bet her Lawyer's will enjoy his words.

Comment Re:Really curious what the angry ones said (Score 4, Interesting) 74

They were angry because they were administering networks remotely and all of a sudden were not able to as their access was disabled as well.

Imagine you are an incompetent IT doing work remotely and you can't access it anymore. So you have your client login locally to enable that feature again and they read that message to you. Now your client knows you are incompetent too. And then when the client refuses to enable access from outside the network you actually have to leave your desk to do the work. Or find a new customer as you have now been replaced.

Comment Re:Is it just me or is this just not an autopilot? (Score 2) 467

The quote from Musk and the graph both reference accident reductions with Autosteer. Neither call it Autopilot.

Tesla offers, per their manual:

Autopilot Tech Package:
&#8226; Traffic-Aware Cruise Control
&#8226; Autosteer
&#8226; Auto Lane Change
&#8226; Autopark
&#8226; Auto High Beam

Why is Musk and the graph specifically referencing Autosteer? I never trust data fully when specific and unexpected words are used. The omission of the word Autopilot implies......

Comment Minor crashes (Score 1) 238

"Tesla cars have gone 320 million miles per fatality, much better than the 86 million miles for the average car. These figures don't necessarily settle the debate. That NHTSA figure doesn't break down the severity of crashes -- it's possible that Autopilot prevents relatively minor crashes but is less effective at preventing the most serious crashes."

I find the skewed submitter's view of "minor crashes" a bit odd.

The comparison is for fatalities per mile. I'd have a hard time expecting that there would be a substantial percentage of accidents with fatalities being very high.
That's not to say that there aren't issues here....and it might just be semantics.....but I hope human life has enough of a value so as to not consider a fatal accident as minor.

You have never bought a ticket to an event or movie you saw advertised online?
Or an event that popped up on your facebook feed because a friend was going?

You have never craved and eventually bought fast food after seeing an ad?
Or bought something in a store that was only familiar to you through an ad? You didn't expect to buy that Cider or brand of Beer.....but you saw the ad and had awareness....and hey, why not?

Many advertisers advertise to brand. Not expecting you will impulse buy.
You have never seen an ad for a car or TV or new device that looked cool and you eventually bought?
You never thought a product was "cool" because you liked there ads?

Net Neutrality is a good thing. I am all for it.

But off net content bears additional charges to an ISP then on-net costs. There are reasons that most ISP's - the same ones who provide cable TV - host netflix servers on-site.

The issue is that every ISP could arguably use this as an advantage against any competing business and that would suppress competition.
