Your elevation of the discussion is truly enlightening.

You're exactly the kind of driver driver less cars are going to save us from.

It's quite a bit more distance in practice. Especially since we humans are very slow to react to things.

I love how everyone hates abrams, as far as i can tell, for the same reason they hate Michael Bay. Because it is popular to hate them. Yet they line up at the movie theater and just can't pony up the money fast enough to see their movies.

And your criticizing time travel in star trek? Really? Perhaps you had severe concussion while your were watching the old star trek, cus you seem to have forgotten them.

Holy crap the only way anything out of the star trek anything could be described as cerebral is if your 5 years old and find "hitting $SOMEONEDIFFERENT in the face for fun is bad" a moral dilemma. They are about as shallow as everything else on TV.

You just described every star trek movie and episode ever. In fact almost every sci fi story ever.

Clearly you have never lived in Switzerland. For 50K you mite get a car park for a year or a cheap watch, they may even let you open a "peasant" bank account, but if you want a BJ you going to have to live with a 60year old that hasn't had a STD test for 20 years. And its probably a dude.

It will handle it better than any slow to react wet computer with only two rather directional sensors.

And that includes the backbones and other infrastructure. I use to work for a teleco.. Really suspicious of your claims here. Remember if 100 houses have 1 Gb.. you need 100Gb backbone if you don't want to be oversubscribed.

Not if its already there.

Holy crap that is probably the stupidest thing i have ever heard. You think beaming 100kW of microwave energy per car is a good idea?

Hop in a 1kW microwave for 5min and tell me how that works out for you.

True. Also like most infrastructure these fixed costs are related to peak usage and not average. Even worse its the absolute peak based on some "never fail more often than once in a blue moon sort of thing". I guess with data networks its not so bad, since it can fail/degrade gracefully.

Reminds me of something that was tried in Australia. The electricity company pointed out that quite a lot of fixed costs/capitol was based on expected peaks for only one or two days a year. So if people went for the deal where they would just put up with a possible 1-2 day power outage per year they would get electricity at a huge discount (50% or more IIRC). However those 1 or 2 days are the hottest days in the year, and with no air con or fridge... Most went off the plan after that deciding that paying 2x more for that "uptime" guarantee was worth it.

I have unlimited 15Mbs here in the EU. I burn through about 500Gbyte a month. About half that is work related stuff. The other half is everything else. We don't watch a lot of streaming services compared to some. So yea 300Gb is not really a lot for a *single* household.

As far as i know, it's not illegal to charge obscene amounts for services. It is however anti-competitive to charge less than cost.

Er what? So if your poor you should super internet access?* By they way, sports cars are too expensive as well. They should make them cheaper so everyone can afford it. Can i have what your smoking. It's better than the stuff i got.

Perhaps you should work on affordable health care for the poor before unlimited fiber internet.
