I kind of did it once, the bus driver literally put the sign out while I was alongside the bus and passing, it would have been impossible to stop. Was given a ticket anyway. Fucking Austin PD never passes up a change to be corrupt.

You can't trust V2Whatever because security isn't infallible. The car must always trust its sensor input over the network input so it might as well just use the sensor input. Also the primary opportunity from V2V is platooning, which can literally never be safe on pneumatic tires. There's a right way to do platooning and it is called rail.

True, smells come from antisocials like smokers and people too stupid to use unscented laundry detergent.

Were the same people that told you that the ones trying to bring about the end times right now?

That leaves a lot of room still, for example they can raise prices on trending items or proactively raise prices on cold beverages ahead of a heat wave... But they could have done that before too, it only would have cost more to do.

The AI problem is that AI made it cheaper so there's more of it. So yes that is an AI problem

What's more, we've been talking about water itself being wet forever. It's something literally no native speaker can be unaware of.

Makes more sense to think it's bullshit masquerading as news, constructed out of bits and pieces of reality but glued together into a horror.

They were doing literally none of that before Trump attacked them. The big terrorists are of course Russia, and our allies like Israel and Saudi Arabia. Say, where did those 9/11 hijackers come from again?

Iran was allowing inspections to ensure they didn't have nukes until Trump tore up that deal.

Why don't you fuck off with the rest of the child rape aficionado chatbots spreading false information to US voters?

Apple copied everything about the form of the iPhone from others including the rounded corners and the launcher with rows of icons. The rounded corners patent was bad both because rounded corners are obvious and because they didn't make the first smartphone with rounded corners.

Yeah, but that was always a dumb idea, and it was always a minority position. Also we've know exactly why we can't have solar panels like that since [before] former thin film printed panel darling Nanosolar closed their doors in 2013: Microcracks develop in the protective plastic layers on thin film flexible solar panels and let in moisture which spoils the panel. You can make a relatively long-lived plastic solar panel if you don't want it to flex much, but it doesn't save much money in the end so that's done only for portable uses where glass is simply unsuitable.

You can make very cheap thin film solar panels. They just don't last long enough to be useful.

You're going to have to at least buy me dinner and sweet talk me first. Or won't you?

I'm keeping more track as I age, not less. Perhaps your capabilities have diminished further than mine? I was pretty young when I signed up, it would be surprising if you were younger than I am.

Every competent major company has done it already, but they didn't do it because quantum computing was here, they did it because it might come someday and they wanted cryptosystems which were proof against the potential vulnerability.

Yes, from people selling shit to suckers. But since there are no practical quantum computers, there are no practical quantum computer-based attacks on any cryptosystems. There is only the fear that someone will someday discover a way to make a practical quantum computer, which is a reasonable fear considering that it's not expensive to shift to using other encryption methods so long as you aren't in a hurry about it.

It isn't specifically because both are taking something some media dildos spun dumb headlines about and basing dissatisfaction on those dumb headlines. But one would have to be capable of insight to understand the connection, so I'm not surprised a coward failed there.

It's a great unanswerable whether not having copyright would have been more of a boon to creators of software, and another whether that would have been more of a boon to users as more software would be created for them. But we do have numerous relevant examples of how copyright has in fact benefited users, and I think Linux is the obvious primary example. Major contributors to Linux told us in so many words that they chose to contribute to it because of its license which essentially made returning contributions to the community mandatory.* The GPL is powered by copyright. Without any copyright law, you effectively have the BSD license less attribution. QED, copyright can do good things, even if only because it was subverted with copyleft.

Yeah, that's what copyright does, there's no arguing against that. I'm sympathetic to the idea that copyright shouldn't exist, and personally generally argue that the term should be much shorter — and also probably shorter for software than for some other types of creations. But that's another discussion, I think.

* Can't really do that with the law AFAIK, GPL comes closest, it's a whole other discussion there again.
