Or the jerk in glasses decided to shoot you when being assaulted.

I doubt any bus driver would want to cross to the other side, it would be a challenge, even if cars cooperated. You'd have a line of blocked cars that would need to be let by, while holding up traffic behind you. If the driver doesn't have on red flashers when they start to move, a car could potentially legally pass them and the bus pull out into them. Then if the stop is near a corner, the driver may not see an oncoming car, setting up your scenario; or I've seen stops on a street with a 45 MPH limit, trying to cross that and then face oncoming traffic would be crazy.

Some cars do not have integrated gsrage door openers. I have one that uses bluetooth and works great, no network needed.

In general, bus stops are designed for the students to exit on the non-street side. The issue is kids who have to cross the street to get home since a stop serves multiple homes on both sides of a street. Retracing the route would double the bus transit time for some kids, who likely just get off the bus at the first stop and not theirs if the bus retraced the route so they could get off on their side of the street.

They're politicians, so adding in funding illegal activities is redundant.

I suspect most of those speculative hobbyists aren't simply giving up a percentage of their holdings to use a fun toy; if you're speculating why give up a % of your return when you get no value from it? As for PGP and its ilk, there are probably a lot more legitimate users, which is why law enforcement used other means, such a taking over services clandestinely to be able to track organized crime; just like wiretaps allowed targeting suspected criminals without eliminating telephones. That's not to say governments aren't trying to get backdoors, and while I disagree with that approach, it's still allows targeting suspects without eliminating encryption. Of course, you have to rely on governments to play fair, something "for the children" arguments make the effort suspect and open to fishing expeditions.

Personally, I think taking it over surreptitiously would be a better move because then you can see and track both ends of the transaction; something they may have done but wouldn't admit to until they have some strong cases. They may have done that and after they had what they needed decided to shut it down. Who knows, I certainly don't.

I suspect it's about the ratio of illegal users to legitimate ones that made it a target. Assume the Swiss and Germans were able o track the incoming sources they could identify patterns of suspect transaction and thus decided to shut it down.

A lot depends on what they do; many of the Big 4 undergrad hires go into Oracle, PeopleSoft, etc. jobs, coding, detailing as built, writing specs, etc.; some of which can be turned over to AI, especially as it gets better. Once you get to the MBB (McK, Bain, BCG) MBA hires it's a lot less that and a lot more problem analysis; some of which can also be done by AI. AI could certainly create a deck using McK's or other firms template, that eliminating a more junior staffer and letting a more senior one edit the draft.Given turnover rates of 25%+ in both areas, it doesn't take long to downsize a firm at the bottom by not hiring and letting attrition run its course, it's the partners who depend on the revenue to make serious money that will be on the chopping block next.

As I understand it, it's at the broker level the theft occurs. Company A hires logistics company B to deliver goods, who then arranges for the load to be picked up by a trucking firm. Some of that may get offloaded to another trucking broker, who is fake and takes the load, hires a legitimate trucker who they give a different delivery address, and the load disappears. The trucker has no idea the load is being stolen, the driver is just doing a delivery like they always do.

There were some really good ones, for example:

The DIY bariatric bypass kit

Yellowcake uranium where one person complained it was only half as much as advertised

Too bad amazon killed them...

It's always fun to bet with someone else's money...unless it's the mob's...

There are plenty of "potentially crash inducing actions " that a pilot can do, forcing two to do them also means in an emergency you are complicating the response nad keeping one from flying the plane while the other coordinates the emergency response.

Good point. It will be interesting to see how the aging workforce, lower birth rates and changes in the labor market play out.

One of Chinaâ(TM)s economyâ(TM)s purpose was to provide jobs while keeping labor costs low. This helped avoid political unrest. If AI and robotics change the deal it will be interesting to see the societal implications and impacts.

I'd add they likely have been vetted and mistakes corrected (though some may still exist) and have proven to be good tools. Trying to convert that would introduce new mistakes, you'd likely lose data, etc. As long as it works don't try to make it 'better' because better may not be better.
