Comment Yeah Bullcrap. (Score 1) 160

Details or it's fake. Too many of these claims lately have nothing, not even a glimmer of details to prove they did anything, and all the demos are with a car that has been prepped for the demonstration.

Even the Jeep one was a very scripted demo with a LOT of work done before hand to the vehicle. A lot of the ECM programming forums were calling shenanigans on the claims and the reporting was so bad that it is not clear that the car did not have something fitted to make it possible.

These guys need to release details or it's all just theatrics.

It absolutely does and every free country on earth recognises this. That is exactly why all the disparate laws with so many differences you deceptively lump together as "intellectual property " do have one thing in common : they all have limitations that make them temporary. The mechanism of expiration vary widely but they all expire. No physical property rights expire. You can inherited land for unlimited generations. But copyright and patents have time limits, trademarks have to be renewed and are lost if they become generic. These expiration are exactly because they are, all, censorship and the trade off is only worth while if that censorship is temporary.

Comment Re:End of Mankind? (Score 2) 312

The sociological races can't be determined all that accurately with a few DNA sequences. It's more of a game of probabilities: certain sequences correlate highly with certain sociological races. Quite a few errors, though, in part because not everyone's self-identified race is actually the ethnic descent they think it is. For example, some people who believe themselves to be "ethnic Swedes" are actually of Finnish origin, and vice versa, but don't know their family history long enough back to know that. Also, many "white" people have some proportion of non-white heritage.

If you have wifi inside the cage, your security and IT directors need to be fired.
A single security sticker over the phone cameras solve the phone recording problem, That's what we did when I worked in a high security area. if your sticker was not perfectly intact when you checked out you lost your phone. Security took it and you never got it back. and you are lucky if you are not arrested.
