They’re infamously difficult to fight.

Bukele is basically a supervillain so I’d expect him to throw prisoners into his bitcoin-mining volcano.

Right now the corporations OP listed can already do that. If you don’t want anybody else to be in charge of your money, then go use crypto.

Weren’t those problems solved in the 1990s with Ecash? If they have a trusted central authority doing time stamps, then they can just use blinded signatures.

It does. Here’s my fav concise critique of capitalism:

Man’s freedom is lacking if somebody else controls what he needs, for need may result in man’s enslavement of man.

Do they not have full sized computers? It’s dubious that there is any legitimate educational value to smartphones in schools either.

In any compromise between food and poison, it is only death that can win. In any compromise between good and evil, it is only evil that can profit.

— Ayn Rand

I’ve got bad news for you.

It’s not enough that they need to work all year and deal with angry parents over every F. Now they need to be infotainment competing for attention with anything a kid can find on their cell phone.

I understand the paper, but why do they need wheels? Why are you leaving out guns?

Everybody has been stealing each other’s nuclear secrets for decades.

“Yeah one take is fine, it’s probably not going to work anyways.”

Although, having to get a transmitter within line-of-sight makes the overall feat more impressive.

We frequently build clear, robust laws around mandatory testing. Like that recent YouTube video where the Tesla crashed through a wall, but with crash test dummies.

I would assume everyone here would agree with that 😘

build, sell and drive

You two don’t seem to strongly disagree. The driver is liable but should then sue the builder/seller for “self driving” fraud.

Ok, maybe project managers are good for something.

Bro I’m colorblind too and if you’re not sure what color the light is, you have to stop. Don’t put that on the rest of us.

As an engineer, I strongly agree with requirements based on empirical results rather than requiring a specific technology. The latter never ages well. Thank you.

It can’t even perceive the depth of the lights?
