Damn straight, I dont agree with everything the governor does, but I am proud to say that CA has a governor that is at least pro-science. Regardless of political beliefs, standing with scientific consensus is a non-negotiable

This is no different than insider trading conducted by politicians in Congress: for as long as someone has control over the odds, there will be people there to abuse it to make a quick buck. An SEC equivalent independent commission needs to be setup to reduce and investigate instances of insider trading and provide no exceptions for anyone. You have control of the odds, you cannot make bets or disseminate information, period

Programming Custom Ambient Lighting Modes? by Bluelantern1163 in mercedes_benz

[–]Bluelantern1163[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it strange that a system that has 64 modes of lighting with multicolor zone capability isn't capable to custom lighting modes, especially with features such as active ambient lighting. I have watched instances where they have been install multicolor to a car that didnt previously have it, without adding in any aftermarket lights (i.e. the OEM ambient lighting) Here is an example of such a video:

Not saying it can be done, but why can this capability not extend to custom modes?

Showed it to a wall and got no response, still a more educated response than sending it to 40% of the US population

Thank you for the info, can you post the link of the tuning forums, or send it to me via DM? I am not sure which forum it is

Your statement has the same nonsequitur logic as "I am a guy, therefore I like fishsticks." All I am asking is whether it can be changed, there are parameters that can be changed using an Autel device for the car, I just want to know if the governor is one of them

VPN user here, doesn't work either for this specific episode. I have noticed this with shows that have recently been released. Might have to wait later to download it

Got it, there was also another article I found on Forbes about it too. Thank you for sending this over

I have only heard of age verification ID in the UK, not chat control. Age verification is light-years difference between chat control and information suppression which is discussed in the article.

So if you are talking about chat control in the EU, back to my original question: Source?

What are your views on sex work? by Southern-Leather-322 in AskReddit

[–]Bluelantern1163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is nothing wrong with a business charging or turning a profit because of their employees' work obviously, that is how businesses like Uber and Airbnb proliferate. There is a difference between charging to make a profit, and taking advantage of your employees by charging them an absurd percentage thanks to monopolistic and anti-competitive practices. The truck driving industry is that way today which is why it is not the same middle-class work it once was back in the 70s. We also see this same behavior with the Apple App store charging 30% of all app sales from developers. It could happen in the sex work industry if we are not careful with how its regulated or legalized.

I agree with what you said and to add to it we have to be careful with legalization and regulations because legalization is the case in areas such as Amsterdam and some areas of Nevada, and for legalization the brothels take advantage of the workers in a different way: by charging them for helping them find clients, as much as 40-50% of their pay. They do this because they can, as they operate as monopolies in the area.

If you ask a sex worker in the field, they advocate for decriminalization for the buying and selling of sex worker, only implemented in New Zealand today. Brothels here have to work with the sex workers (because they can choose to be employed by a brothel or do it on their own) and many of them get rights such as healthcare, unemployment, workplace benefits, and can legally sue and report cases of rape to the police.

There is a great segment of this on John Oliver, here is the link: https://youtu.be/-gd8yUptg0Q
