The weirdest part about Brexit was the sales pitch was always an obvious big lie. It's almost like the intent was to economically damage the UK.

The vote was sold on immigration. Problem is immigration is a policy for lowering the cost of labour. Such a policy can be adjusted irrespective of being in the EU or not.

I'm okay with the pad-to-pad functionality. For me the most important aspect of what makes a "car" is when it is owned and operated by individual consumers. Otherwise it becomes a bus or taxi.

Safety is the death nail for anything flying. Putting millions of them in one airspace is a safety nightmare. From collisions to bugs to confusion to wear-and-tear, put a mass of then up and you're going to have lots falling from the skies onto the unsuspecting on the ground.

Cost is the least of the worries. The idea itself is a total safety nightmare. Just imagine having lines of helicopters criss-crossing above every house in every city. Just from structural fatigue failures alone, thousands would be falling out of the skies and smashing through roofs every day.

The Jetsons cartoon didn't use powered hovering, the vehicles magically floated. Lighter than air would be required. But then wind would become a huge safety issue. There's just no sensible engineering solution for a flying car.

Maybe could be a flying bus/train solution where the routes and vehicle count are both limited and well managed on a city wide scale. No flying over any houses at all, for example. And a few hundred highly maintained collective vehicles, per city, instead of a few million selfish owners.

Negative feedback dampens. Positive feedback reinforces.

Presumably the stocks held were not bought for shorting. He does have a responsibility to behave as advertised when managing a portfolio for investors.

Obviously, OpenAI have been sifting through them all along. And probably selling your info to boot. It's not like they keep those logs for no reason.

No one wants to reveal their levels of mass illegal pillaging.

Not really relearning. It was always a necessity. Armed forces historically were always trained to repair and did have spares on hand. Just like there are battle trained medics in the field, there was also battle trained technicians in the field.

How it was left to get so bad I don't know. I suspect the Pentagon had little choice. It would have been politicking as usual. Now the Senators have also realised there is more than employment handouts at stake.

It'd be nice to see right-to-repair of this level reverberate wider than the military and have an impact on the throwaway culture that has evolved in recent decades.

I wonder if maybe recent Ukrainian experiences has driven home the direness of the situation for the Pentagon? Maintaining employment numbers isn't any help to an inoperative force.

and Slop Awareness 101.

Wikipedia certainly doesn't need any type of Internet, nor anything even close, to be useful into the future.

Followed by Meta deletes Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. And the world celebrates.

They don't use 3D acceleration so will happily run on vanilla Wine.

User tracking and its algorithms already has. There's a difference. Take away the tracking and it all reverts back because advertising won't find the web so attractive any more.

Hallucinations for scientists instead of geeks.
