If we get to the point of self-driving cars, it'd make sense that the car would refuse to drive if it's unsafe enough

Anyone talking about society 20,000 years ago is bullshitting. We have no records for how these societies operated anything but a superficial level.

This is Jordan Peterson and Evelutionary Psychology levels of scientific rigor.

People are concerned about the hesitance he's had for actually doing anything. He campaigned saying he'd release the names, then has proceeded not to do so, tried to deflect and say it's a non-issue that people should forget about, that there were no other people involved beyond Maxwell and Epstein. For someone that claims to have nothing to hide, and was previously friends with Epstein (in itself not incriminating of course) he's doing a piss poor job of convincing people he wasn't involved in things with Epstein.

This shouldn't be a partisan issue, everyone who was involved should be prosecuted, the fact no progress has been made since 2019 is on both the Democrats and Republicans heads - any idiot can see there is a cover up going on, and the only reasonable explanation seems to be that both sides will be damaged in equal measure by the fallout - for all Trump's protestations of being outside the establishment, he sure does look and sound like an establishment guy

You can pay for a 3rd party to penetration test your app, it's good practice to do this before you launch an app, after any significant changes, and annually at a minimum.

There are also a growing number of companies offering continuous penetration testing - basically, automated pen tests - but these are expensive and it's difficult to convince companies that the cost is worth it

Would you trust it at this point though? The most likely explanation in my mind is that both Dems and Republicans are on the list, including DT. Dems didn't release it prior to the election because it'd blow back on them as well, and Trump thought he could get away with running on releasing it and then never actually doing it - which has now backfired. This whole thing stinks

This test is clearly intended to be deceptive. For example, with Q1 should I circle the number '1' or 'a'? With Q4 how do you draw a line around something? 11 is clearly a trick question designed to put pressure on people.

I'm autistic and whilst I could confidently argue an answer for these questions, I'm pretty sure someone would disagree with the reasoning I use, and a single failure means I fail the test

Leather isn't a free byproduct, in many cases less CO2 is emitted by not using the hide and just producing an alternative instead

It's not, cotton seats are also a thing. And even the polycarbons are usually recycled anyway

I'm not convinced raising a whole living being that eats plants, and harvesting its skin is that much more energy efficient than just using a plant fibre

It absolutely is, it's naive to think these puritans will just decide to stop here

Oh 100%, I'm a republican (lowercase R, in the British sense). I just find it ironic that the US portrays itself as having removed monarchy, when it was just replaced with dictator that has a term limit

You're conflating colourism with racism, I'm guessing you're in the US and your primary exposure to racism is via colourism?
