well even knowing users might have had to deal with them enough that their brain shuts down.

I mean, if daily launch a program that brings up a security prompt yes/no and you press yes every day and you know it's ok, it teaches you that there's nothing to think in that prompt and that it's mainly annoying.

it's many strikes.

furthermore, greenpeace works exactly like a multinational corporation in gathering funds.

then they spend it on stupid stuff that accomplishes nothing, like trying to take over russian ships in what anyone else would describe as piracy.

I mean, I'm living in what you could call rural Thailand, the other day at the mall there was a greenpeace booth - can't get away from them anywhere! luckily the facers here don't speak english. in a country that does not currently appear to have a constitution and has environmental problems - country where they could improve things like water management, waste disposal and number of other things to make the environment better - but they're here only to grab cash. Greenpeace is just a big show and hasn't had concern with actually changing the world in many, many years.

besides, then lyft would just buy a bunch of those.

in closed areas and such.. sure.. automation works.. it's those areas where they're already being used in different industries.

despite the hype we are not really at a point where there would be even regular route automated taxis anywhere, which would be miles simpler than automated taxis from anywhere to anywhere.

also, it still wouldn't make it legal elsewhere.

what all this shit is leading into is countries soon flat out refusing to even investigate hacker claims from other countries - I mean, why should they when the other country does jack all shit nothing to help to solve the crimes their agents committed?
