Comment Re:What about top speed? (Score 1) 89

NHTSA and NASA investigated not just the software but the actual cases.

NHTSA and NASA didn't study all of the code in the PCM. Their analysis is therefore invalid. Barr Group found a significant number of paths to unintended acceleration, zero of which depended on cosmic rays and also that Toyota not only didn't follow industry best practices, they didn't follow their own internal procedures. And you think China, which hasn't ever made the best software for anything, is immune to the same kinds of errors. You literally stated that there was no other way that it could happen, which is an obvious falsehood. It's unclear why you're engaging in this level of gaslighting.

What if offensive people played at scamming each other with fictitious assets, as if they had a sandbox to play in, while the real economy sustained itself because of a basic income? If those virtual assets crash, why should it spread by contagion and impose scarcity on the most vulnerable?

Comment Re:"Cable" a Failure to Innovate (Score 1) 85

I doubt it is economically effective today to replace the parts that can actually do multi-gigabit.

I agree. In fact for most cable companies in particular it probably makes little sense to replace anything that can do even just 1 gigabit, because they almost surely have other regions or at least boroughs which are currently underserved.

Anecdotally speaking I think the demand for 10Gbs residential internet is low, and probably will be for some time.

I suspect it's mostly limited to sizable households with a lot of users. But we keep finding new ways to use available bandwidth...
