I know. I hate when someone comes to promote their new language, but then fail to actually showcase the language anywhere. The very first thing I want to see is what the language looks like, not testimonials about how great it is.

This is definitely not a new language...it's been around since 1995. The website does not make it particularly clear that this is a CFML engine though haha.
Lucee Server has not been around since 1995. It is a newer open source engine that implements a backwards compatible version of CFML but with many improvements and modern flourishes. Our lack of CFML mention is on purpose due to the negative stigma of legacy apps. It's fair to say that the majority of people are not familiar with the modern iterations of CFML. It's changed so much since the old days, it might as well be a new language!
Security experts act like it's very trivial and basic to get a fully secure shop up and running if we simply do everything they say. When something fails, the security expert gets fired, and a new one comes on board who will inevitably call the old one "incompetent" and claim that super basic and trivial things were not being followed. Repeat ad infinitum. Some organizations/companies are more vulnerable than others, but I have yet to see one that cannot be compromised by a determined/patient adversary.
I don't like the idea of "sharing" upholstered seats with other people. I'm very neat and tidy, and other people aren't. Other people are going to eat their chips and junk in the car and get crumbs everywhere...
You're not "buying" a Tesla anymore just like you aren't "buying" an iPhone anymore. Thus it is not "yours", and you can't do anything you want with it.
It's starting to get out of hand. I purchased a Toyota last year and magically get updates and phone calls about scheduling maintenance. This means the car is sending data to the mothership without anyone realizing it. They have all your driving habits and likely share it with however they want. You can't stop it and most people don't realize it is even happening.
I've received these as well, but it's always been "Hey, it's been 6 months since your last oil change with us -- come on in!"
I could very easily see if you go to the same mechanic and they input your mileage between visits and a system having a reasonable chance of getting scheduled maintenance correct based upon time or average mileage.
I've never heard of a company pulling data from a car OTA to do this type of work. (some car insurance companies are a different story though)
Many high-end cars have embedded cellular connections, in 2015 Miller and Valasek managed to crack into Jeep's, jump the airgap and take control of the car over the OTA reporting connection: https://www.wired.com/2015/07/hackers-remotely-kill-jeep-hig...
No idea if that's the case with Toyota, but it's definitely possible with some high-end cars (most definitely including Teslas which routinely report to the mothership) (incidentally it's fun seeing people drool over teslas then freak out at Firefox or MS telemetry)
Amusingly, the air-gap was a firewall on a chip. No air whatsoever. They got around it a few ways, including most effectively, by re-flashing it to just be a passthrough.
Based on that, I'd say anyone who is injured because of this in any way has a great claim against the company for lying about the equipment they provided.
I'm receiving the communication about 2-3 months ahead of that schedule due to the excess mileage I'm driving. At about 6k miles, my tire sensor was going on and off for a few days, then I received an email specifically to come in to check the tire pressure. It may have be coincidence, but it's highly unlikely at this point.
> You can't stop it and most people don't realize it is even happening.
Yet the media will probably spin this as "people just don't care," as they usually do with privacy issues. It's very much an awareness and education issue.
> I purchased a Toyota last year and magically get updates and phone calls about scheduling maintenance. This means the car is sending data to the mothership without anyone realizing it.
No, it doesn't, at least not necessarily.
I also bought a Toyota last year. They called on a regular timed schedule that had nothing to do with my actual usage pattern. We got a call to come in for our 5,000 mile service when we'd just completed the 10,000 mile service.
It may be a feature of the higher-end models, but it's definitely not something the 2015/2016 Corollas seem to do.
>I purchased a Toyota last year and magically get updates and phone calls about scheduling maintenance.
I bet if you were willing to waive the warranty they'd stop calling you. But, being as how the warranty on cars is now 5+ years, and that the maintenance variance among owners is high, I don't see this as a bad thing.
Granted, it's not happening to me (yet), so I might complain too.
I'd rather have that and know when I need to bring my car in for service than go without and accidentally go thousands of miles beyond the service date
> Even as a liberal Democrat, I feel sorrow for the loss of a loyal opposition and a voice for limited government.
I always got the impression from my liberal friends that they would be overjoyed controlling the house, senate, and oval office until the end of time with no opposition.
Perhaps you need more thoughtful friends. Some of us on the left simply want an end to either of the two parties and their focus on controlling the branches of government. Unchecked power is rarely (never?) good. You also left out the judiciary. Both parties want total majority control of the entire government, and they're both comfortable with abrogating their constitutional duties and any sense of statesmanship if it seems likely to help further their power goals. This won't be good for many reasons, not least of which is the vital importance of including as many voices as possible in the processes of self-governance. We can't maintain stability and improve the future when we're always "winning" by a couple percentage points every few years, while remaining otherwise evenly divided into two hating-the-other-side camps.
