Teslas Can Still Be Stolen With a Cheap Radio Hack—Despite New Keyless Tech
  • urning off GPS and LTE ruins 90% of the features in the car.

    The main purpose of a car is "driving", which you can do. Unless you cannot start a Tesla without LTE, which would be very stupid.

    You can also always strip a car for parts. Teslas are not magically safe from that.

  • The story of the Tree That Owns Itself is widely known and is almost always presented as fact. Only one person—the anonymous author of "Deeded to Itself"—has ever claimed to have seen Jackson's deed to the tree. Most writers acknowledge that the deed is lost or no longer exists—if in fact it ever did exist. Such a deed would have no legal effect. Under common law, the recipient of a piece of property must have the legal capacity to receive it, and the property must be delivered to—and accepted by—the recipient.[6] Both are impossible for a tree to do, as it isn't a legal person.

    [...]

    "However defective this title may be in law, the public recognized it."[11] In that spirit, it is the stated position of the Athens-Clarke County Unified Government that the tree, in spite of the law, does indeed own itself.[12] It is the policy of the city of Athens to maintain it as a public street tree.[13]

    [...]

    Although the story of the Tree That Owns Itself is more legend than history, the tree has become, along with the University Arch and the Double-Barreled Cannon, one of the most recognized and well-loved symbols of Athens.

    In reality, the tree is not protected by law, but by the will of the people. Kind of symbolic if you ask me.

  • New gender gap
  • I will gladly support any initiative for more equality in the justice system (even though we are probably not even in the same country).

    I am not aware of any initiatives, though. The conservative focus, depending on the country, seems to be on hating foreigners or banning abortions. So I am not sure why anybody would want to vote conservative if they want an equal justice system.

  • New gender gap
  • I wrote "in large part", not "always".

    Of course there are some issues where there should be more support for men. But I am pretty sure female to male domestic violence is not at the top of the list on why these people vote conservative. The conservative "solution" would be to shut down male AND female support in that regard.

  • New gender gap
  • Many men can barely afford to live, let alone even think of the joys of previous generations such as home ownership, having a family, or travelling.

    Ahh yes, because houses are cheaper for women, obviously. /s

    This has nothing to do with the person being a man or woman.

    Meanwhile the news is full of victory after victory for women, so of course they’re going to support the status quo more.

    That "victory after victory" is in large part just women catching up to existing men's rights.

    If the opinion is that there should not be a democracy, then that is a threat to democracy.

    Excluding a portion of the population from the polls

    They are not excluded. They are free to vote for a party that is in line with the constitution.

    its almost exclusively a phenomena specific to the left...

    I don't even know what to say. In which world are the far-right, fascists and nazis known to value opposing views? Are you serious?

  • Opinion | Putin Is Making His Plans Brutally Clear
  • I never challenged that they need and schould get support. They do.

    But the determination among the population will not last forever, and we will see how much they will have conquered back by then. Acting like a peace deal will never happen like some people online, including the first person in this comment chain, like to do is just not realistic. Even if Ukraine takes back their land, Russia is not just going to capitulate.

  • Opinion | Putin Is Making His Plans Brutally Clear
  • The war is currently in a stalemate and the frontlines are fortified. Any offensive is going to be very bloody. The Ukrainian people are going to decide if and how many lives they want to sacrifice to get back their land. Land is useless if the people are dead.

  • I found the original source of the photo: It is an article by "The New Yorker" from 2019 that confirms and explains the situation.

    [...] Hebron, in an area where about thirty thousand Palestinians—a fraction of the number who used to live here—live under direct Israeli military rule, which protects fewer than a thousand Israeli settlers. This part of the city is freely accessible to Israeli citizens and foreigners, but most Palestinians can enter only if they’re residents.

    [...]

    For a second it felt like we were in a covered market, but this was because the street is fenced in from the top, with a sort of wire net intended to protect the Palestinian traders and their customers from rocks, bottles, and trash thrown by Israeli settlers who live on the street just above. Amro pointed at metal sheeting placed over a section of the net; it is meant to guard against acid that settlers pour down, to destroy the goods sold here.

    [...]

    In 1997, as part of the Oslo peace process, Israel and the Palestinian Authority drew a line splitting Hebron in two. The area designated as H-1 is controlled by the Palestinian Authority; in H-2, the Palestinian Authority has civil administration over Palestinian residents and the Israeli military controls everything else. H-1 is far larger, and in the past two years its population has roughly doubled, while H-2’s has dwindled because settler violence and I.D.F. restrictions have made life unbearable for Palestinians. But H-2 contains the city’s historic center, its most popular square, and its wholesale, vegetable, spice, and other markets—all of them now hollowed out. The market street through which Amro leads his tour hits a dead end at the border between H-1 and H-2. Here, though, the border is also vertical: the market street is in H-1; the street directly above is in H-2. This is why the protective net and metal sheeting are necessary.

  • Geert Wilders' victory in Netherlands election spooks Europe
  • I can't speak for the rest of Europe, but in Germany there was a major reform in sexual assault laws in 2016. You cannot compare before and after at all, because the laws are much stricter now. Things that were not considered rape or sexual assault before, are now. I would assume the same happened elsewhere, too. In 2017 "Me Too" started, which also led to much more awareness on the subject, so more people report on it since then.

    Violent crime in Germany, while being higher than in the last few years, is still lower now than in 2010 or any year before. https://de.statista.com/statistik/daten/studie/153880/umfrage/faelle-von-gewaltkriminalitaet/

    Theft is roughly on the level of 2019 in Germany and way lower than 2016 and any year before that. Grand theft is lower than ever (excluding 2021).
