  • No the government should not stay out of it.

    How does this make any sense “if you, or anyone you know, has ever bought our taxi, you can not sue when our driver hits you”?

    “Buyer beware” is not an argument when this shit is buried in pages of dence leagle documents or in some case never presented to the end user (in the case of a things like appliance delivery, where the buyer never sees the documents included). Do you expect me to hire a lawyer to buy a washer machine, or to sign up for a free Disney+ trail? Speaking of Disney, how about that “allergy friendly” restuant that killed someone with allergies. Theae forced arbitration clauses are letting companies people get away with wrongful deaths.

    implied warranty of merchantability If the restaurant says their food does not contain an ingredient and they say the food prep is craefully done to ensure no cords contamination and someone dies because the ingredient was in the food - there’s a problem and justice needs to be upheld.

    Being a rebublicans or wanting “small goverment” has nothing to do with this. Yes too much gov intervention is bad, but with out it we’d still be eating rats in our hamburgers.

    Don’t bring abritarty sides into a problem when people are dying and no one is getting held accountable.



  • So there will be at least a partial refund right? Of course not.

    This is like selling someone a birthday cake and after they have a few slices you scrape of the remaining frosting and suck out the moisture.

    IMO juicebox should be responsible for 25-50% refunds for taking away the web features, depending on how much more it cost than similar products without the features. The charger it self still work, so I don’t think a 100% refund should be required.

    Alternatively, they can (preferably) release the software under an open source license or sell the service to another company who is forced to match whatever the subscription cost is for at least 7 years.

    Edit: I just read a comment on the article, I take back what I said, 100% refund + plus cost for an elecrrition to rip this shit out peoples homes.

    your charger can potentially deliver more power than the branch circuit to which it is attached (i.e. if you have a 48 amp charger on a 40 amp circuit) you need to use the software to derate the charger so that it limits charging to an amount valid for your circuit.

    That should not be a software switch…












  • untrue

    You took this out of context and have yet to provide a single example. I said by law we all have equal rights and opportunities. In reality, that is obviously not the case, but not do to laws.

    There is actually a lot more extra help granted to white people especially the well off than will ever go to black people.

    Where the fuck is my extra help? The well off created the systems to keep them well off, and the rest of us get to stay poor. Unless you can change that, we’re all fucked.

    There is a higher proportion of white people in Harvard now who wouldn’t have made it purely on merit than any other race.

    I’d like to compare that to the number of rejected black students as well. Looking at Harvard’s site, the number of black students accepted to Harvard is sigifinatly less than white students. Partially due to the fact theres a significantly higher white population in the nation, unless that difference goes away, statiscally we will never see an equal amount of white people and black people in the same “space”. I wasn’t able to find the diversity statitics for applications, I’d love to see how that compares to the admitted students. I won’t fault Harvard if more whites get in because that how numbers work. To be clear, that’s from a purly statistical point of view. If anyone gets accepted/rejected specficaly because of their skin color, that’s is a problem.

    You actually largely can’t you would end up living with the hobos on the cardboard if you without any disability decided not to bust your fucking ass. / 80 years ago jobs that paid 50k didn’t require 100K in debt while houses cost $400k.

    We all bust our asses and people still can’t go to collage without loans or buy a house, that’s not a race specific issue.

    You are basically a KKK member without a hood.

    Why would you make light of the atrocities made by the KKK? The KKK were murdering blacks out of pure hatred. Not once in any of my comments did I suggest any kind of violence. If your arguments reduce into insane accusations, how am I supposed to take anything you say seriously?
