An ex-colleague is doing an MSc in Applied Animal Behaviour and Training, specifically doing her dissertation on prey drive in dogs.
If you're willing to help out with her research please consider filing out the survey at Welcome to Prey Drive Survey[^]
Thanks all

Thanks for trying and I'll let her know

I think you should go through that survey by yourself (you don't need to submit at the end). Then maybe you can give her some other tips how to make a more structured survey.
What I mean: After N _unnumbered_ questions at the end the question: If you answered Q No. 17 with yes then ....
All the best

There is an other option where you list the breed. That's what I did for my Presa Canario.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Thanks, I will try then again

Wow, Dogo Canario – Wikipedia[^] looks like a real fighter.
Mine seem cute at first, but when they see the herd (ie us) in danger, they become very aggressive and fight to the death.

They are believed to descend relatively unchanged from roman war dogs.

Mine isn't pure, he only weighs about 80-85 pounds. We foster children and the dog is very sedate around them.
We found him at the pound. The dog duped us. Very calm and sedate at the pound. Turned out it was because he couldn't breathe, double pneumonia. Once he got better, his real personality came out. Hyper vigilant, difficult to train. It's taken years but he can now walk without trying to pull my arm out of the socket. Dog didn't care about invisible fence and would jump right over. We now have 6 foot privacy he can't get over.
He hates other 4 legged creatures, cats especially. He also can't stand motors. He jumped the old fence and bit the lawn guy's mower right on the muffler. On walks he has lunged at garbage trucks and school buses.
He has his natural ears. Cropping is insane.
But he is my dog and always will be.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

I was going to make some snarky comment, but on second thought it sounds more useful than, oh, gender studies?

Most answers do not match the question. Example
Quote: If your dog has an animal or a toy, do they eat part or all of it if they can?
- My dog is not interested in this.
- There are rare times when my dog shows an interest in this.
- Sometimes my dog shows interest in doing this.
- My dog often wants to do this.
- My dog LIVES to do this. They set off on walks or into the garden looking for opportunities.
- Not applicable
How can someone answer an "A or B" question with "yes or no"?
Actually all the answer blocks are copy/paste of the same answers.

I'll feed that back - thanks

Done! The site linked there is pretty handy too. I look forward to using it as a resource.
Thanks,

If only I was over 18...
But I could send this to my sister, she is a vet tech at our local vet office.

I guess he will be offered a position at Tesla, then. Great way to find a new job.

Of course this is dangerous but the website presents it as if a flaw in Tesla software was abused. This hack is done through TeslaMate which is a third party open source project.

Even so, the fact that he was able to take over the cars means there's a security flaw in the cars themselves.
|
|
|
|

Not really.
The owners need to give the third party app access to the car if they want to use it.

If you install something on your phone which allows internet to see it and modify things on it, would you blame parent OS or manufacturer for it? You could of course say that they should make sure such apps are not allowed. Manufacturer can try to stop these things but we are now getting into "violation of privacy" debate.
Hence the simplest approach by any hardware/software provider is: "We own what we sell and we assume you know what you do with our product. As soon as you fiddle with it, you own it; not us."
In this case, it is assumed that whosoever is installing TeslaMate knows what it is and what it does. Tesla does not need to baby sit the drivers. That care is a computer with some really sophisticated software in the end. It is prone to all problems any other computer device is. In my opinion, it is stupid to install random stuff on a car since it can kill you and/or others. We install random stuff on VMs to save a, compared to life, useless hard disk but we install anything on cars. Great.
Do I mean Tesla software is bug free? Hell no. Nothing is (awaits jokes like "my code is"). But their software is less risk compared to anything 3rd party simply because I believe Tesla has more resources to test things better.
Rant over.

Honestly it's not an issue only on Teslas. Most new cars have a telematic ECU which is always connected to the LTE network (through an hardwired SIM prepaid by the manifacturer) + an infotainment system that can easiuly be connected to smartphones.
Any new car has attack vectors - usually mitigated by placing the connected components in private CAN buses and the integration of security gateways before any ECU (a security gateway is an external ECU that acts as a firewall filtering any message that is not specifically manageds in the dbc of the protected ECU).
Said protection though is not impassable, so everyone beware. And to compound on it, in the NAFTA (American) market new cares are mandated to have a connected ECU to perform the so called legislative E-Call in case of crash, which calls the emergency number sending the GPS coordinates of the vehicle.

Honestly, as a software developer, I'm underwhelmed by the software loaded into today's cars. My car goes back to 2006, and frankly I dread the day I have no choice but to replace it with something that's got so much stuff that can go wrong...

to the tune of: [^]
that's swamp gas as in "methane" ... arising from the festering egos of tech-titans fermenting under layers of over-valued stock-options ... that ...
spontaneously ignites as the horde of symbiotic, sycophantic, tech media-flacks, dazzled by video cards they can't afford, and promises of perks, spew torrents of hype ... which is consumed by a species of pig named "influencers," and, then, regurgitated into the open, expectant, mouths of social-media-wanna-be digerati.
the shimmering, translucent, flames burn all the 1's in the bytes, and they fall, pathetic, null, becoming slightly stinky coprolites in nanoseconds.
don't ask me how i really feel.
