The whole thing could be solved with a few Diffie-Hellman exchanges over the existing CAN bus. Including the "problem" of granting the owner full access to everything without letting bad actors in.

And prescriptions?
OK Marge, I promise. No deer for a month!"
Oh no, they place high value on their customers trusting them. That's why they hire the best liars marketing has to offer. Being trustWORTHY on the other hand is near the bottom of the list.
So you advocate to abolish the DEA and make all drugs OTC? I suppose you also advocate abolishing the licensing of medical practice entirely? Unless or until those answers are yes, you are interfering with the free market.
Naturally, the FDA would become just a division of the FTC.
Most people can see a giant can of worms in that, including most of the right. I don't even see Libertarians advocating for the abolition of licensing and prescriptions anymore. especially the few that have actually managed to be elected. But if we're going to regulate any of that, we must also regulate costs to keep them from going out of control.
Oddly enough, one reason we here more about the shingles vaccine is that in the past occasional exposure to kids with chickenpox acted a bit as an immune booster in adults. Now with the kids vaccinated against it, older adults need a vaccine to boost their immunity back up.
Yes, that would also be a confounding factor.
Also, a breakdown by substance would be enlightening. My suspicion is that some "hard drugs" like various hallucinogens (also useful for cluster and possibly migraine headaches) probably contributed few problems. If a clean source was available, I would say likely no deaths as well. If the source was amateurs picking random likely looking mushrooms, there may have been a few deaths.
No. If you can obtain ANY key card in the hotel for long enough to read it, you can then make a pair of cards that will open any card lock in the hotel. So you get the card for room 123. You can now open any room you want.
Worst case, you rent a room for the night. But you can probably take advantage of a distraction to grab a turned in keycard from the front desk or lift one off of a guest.
Note how that tends to happen when the vendor sees that the product has become essential and so changes the rules that helped make it possible so they can squeeze their customers dry.
Had the terms not changed other than a modest price increase for inflation, nobody would be calling to regulate anything.
That's why I prefer a bespoke system based on Free software wherever feasible. It may be more effort, but it's a predictable effort. Otherwise, all it takes is one greedy MBA somewhere or one vendor having a lackluster quarter to greatly increase cost, effort, or both overnight. For that matter, a product manager with a 'bright idea' can cause that disruption.
Granted, it's not always feasible, but it's always worth looking in to.
So 15 people out of thousands shipped to Chicago by the governor of Texas who hadn't been immunized got the measles. Now they're immunized.
So apparently the Republican governor of Texas thought sending them to Chicago was the right thing to do.
The only thing string theory consistently predicts is supersymmetry but that didn't pan out.
Notably, factors in his sentencing included one recipient was 15 and he had already violated conditions of parole for a previous offense.
To be fair, it depends on how you ask.
Consider, robber holds you at gunpoint and "asks" you to hand over your wallet vs. someone asks "can you spare some change" vs. charity sends you a request in the mail.
I suppose sometimes when you're the 900lb gorilla in the room, it's hard to ask without an inferred "or else" even if you don't intend it.
At the same time, harmful misinformation is rampant in social media and I don't believe the Biden administration intends any sort of "or else" when it asks.
So the cheats were forced onto the player's machines by hacking the anti-cheating system?
