The legislature could MAKE the laws apply suspension in a way specifically for self-driving cars.

.. there is a button for YouTube history where you can disable it if you don't want them needlessly collecting data about your watch habits.

How do you know that merely doesn't disable displaying your watch history to you but they keep track of it anyway?

I'm a huge fan of AI. I predict that it will help us solve previously intractable problems in science, engineering, medicine and maybe even politics.

Presumably you mean LLMs. LLMs cannot think; cannot synthesize new ideas; thus cannot solve unsolved problems. LLMs are not the path to AGI.

Eliminating the Electoral College and/or the First Past the Post election system would have been a good start. IMHO, a Parliamentary system stops the office of head of state from being a popularity contest.

How do you know Thunderbird doesn't monetize your data and charge you $9 for the privilege?

Probably not. The people that like AI slop are probably the same ones that watch shows like Ancient Aliens and a host of reality shows on the Discovery Channel in the US.

In the US at least, showing that you accrue temporary debt and pay it off improves your credit score.

Classical bits can store only one number at a time. They probably mean that that many qbits can store the amount of information in the universe simultaneously due to superposition.

I assume you mean buying groceries using credit cards and not paying off the balance in full thus paying interest. Personally, I buy everything including groceries using a credit card (via Apple Pay) and always pay off the balance in full. It's easier than dealing with cash and coins.

Not for me. It takes probably three times as long as with a pen on paper, but I make the effort in the rare case I personally need to verify that a signature is mine.

Hard falls aren't specific to women, of course. Plenty of men start out in engineering, they encounter calculus, discover that engineering is hard, and switch to something else less taxing.

The first-past-the-post system is probably the worst voting system ever. It decays into a two-party system. Any type of ranked-choice voting would be better.

When something goes badly wrong with a nuclear power plant, the entire human population sees an uptick in cancer rates and a chunk of the planet gets declared uninhabitable for 10,000 years.

That's true of only fission reactors, but TFA is talking about fusion reactors. Aside from the radiation being much, much less, it has a much, much shorter half-life. Additionally, the chances of something going horribly wrong are much, much less since fusion reactors can't have a run-away chain reaction.

Half the purpose of the entire practice of engineering is exactly that. Making a reliable thing that you need, from unreliable things that you have.

TCP/IP being the obvious example.

What I asked relates to my comment because I'm NOT assuming he actually meant anything. I'm asking what he meant, or at least I'm pointing out the inconsistency if I were to assume a particular meaning; but at no time did I assume he actually meant a particular thing. That aside, I'd hope that a software engineer would be more precise when using computer-related terms.
