3. we don't trust autonomous sytems on the road so why would be trust them in the air?
Because (a) we have infinitely more experience with this than with cars; the level of automation in aircraft is amazing; (b) the operational environment is in many ways much simpler than things on the ground. However, that's not really a recipe for "flying cars" (which actually, nobody wants) and as you point out: those are just called "helicopters".
There will be heliport-to-heliport super short hops by autonomous electric helicopters coming online pretty soon. Very small market, even if they artificially price the rides at 10x less than their actual cost. A hype-show demonstrator technology, really.
When you sell or share my activity with you to a third party with out my active consent and without benefit to my wallet then you have invaded my privacy.
It's not that hard.
Does Facebook actually sell your personal data to third parties? Or does Facebook only use that data to themselves target ads and content to you (without telling any third party who you are)?
As for the "benefit to my wallet": it's not that hard. The benefit is that you don't have to pay money out of your wallet to receive the services from Facebook.
Privacy is a human right. I don't see how here in the EU a US company can try to force EU inhabitants to have to pay for their human rights.
So, you think having a Facebook account and getting their content is a "human right"? What other services from private companies must be supplied for free as a human right? Can you show me the law that demands the "human right to Facebook"?
I think Facebook is just a private, for-profit provider of information services that you can buy a subscription to; alternately you can sell them the rights to your personal data instead paying cash for your subscription.
What is legal for them to do with your data, as well as the limits of what privacy rights you can contract away, are the interesting parts. Apparently it *is* for sale.
STM32 for example, the cheapest of which goes for less than 25 cents?
According to Mouser a Z80 costs around $9.56 each.
Companies that design the kind of embedded systems that use chips like a Z80 consider amounts like two cents (00.02$US) to be a lot of money.
15 years ago things like credit card auth terminals were based on Z80, with banked memory, running tightly coded assembler on bespoke operating systems. Since then, those kinds of little terminals are written in Java running on Linux.
Z80s are no longer economical -- it's more like the situation wit Air Traffic Control systems that were still using vacuum tube computers in the 1990s. Or if you want a story from last week: floppy disk drives.
it's that someone designing a chip uses the core for cheap and that serves as the MCU for whatever is built around it.
MCU?
Good for powering Iron Man suits.
You may want to add Flash memory, too.
Benchmark smash!!
And a Maximoff chip for ML (4-bit WANDA logic).
Give a Z80 to Coulson and he'll use it as a weapon...

The way you have a country is that you have a border. The way that you have a border is that you have a military. (Even if you elect not to enforce it against illegal immigration.)
Or elect not to enforce it at all, e.g. the free passage of people within the EU and the lack of physical impediments to doing so.
Every country in the EU has an army. Having an army doesn't stop you from economically cooperating with the other countries. Including sharing military duties.
So information that is freely given after a request doesn't require a warrant?
We're not purchasing the date nor mandating it.
But if you don't give it to us, welcome to a new layer of pain forever more.
The data brokers involved are Big Money, the biggest companies in the world. They successfully object to that intimidation. And when undue influence comes to light, it gets publicized and folks get upset.
On the other hand, there is the practice of gag orders where the feds can (under the umbra of "national intelligence") order you to hand over all the info, and also to never reveal that you were asked to do so. This is moderated by a secret court ("FISA") and they will definitely send you to prison.
I can neither confirm nor deny that I myself have been served such a letter upon a visit from Homeland Security officers to my house, asking for information about the brother of a friend of mine, who I truthfully expounded to them was an upstanding law-abiding citizen as far as I knew. In this purely fictional scenario, they wanted to know about his ISP and email and whether I could illegally access it for them.
But if the information is given to them by a third party... then it doesn't matter anyways. What's stopping local police forces from buying up third party data and just sharing the info, or e.g. Israel just "sharing" the info.
Because in court they have to explain where they got this so-called "information". That's why when they want to use information obtained illegally from an intelligence agency, they have to develop an elaborate story (lie) that describes an alternate course of how (given the facts they are using) they conducted the investigation to obtain those facts. This is called “parallel construction”.
i view this a bit different - sure apps and companies can gather everything they want - but they can't put you in Jail and strip you of your rights. Government can. This ads a clear layer requirement before Government can outsource work to companies they know they are not allowed to do (which is what has been happening).
Pulling your data from app aggregators is no different than your library checkout history or your video rental history - and this finely puts a line in the sand on it.
Of course they can do the same as basically stripping you of your so called rights like; getting insurance at a reasonable price if able to get any just to name one
For health insurance, that's illegal in the USA, since Obamacare. However, I think they are allowed to give discounts based on behavior (participation in sponsored gyms and such). Basically everything is a "pre-existing condition" that can't be discriminated against. This area could probably be further improved, though. Are companies in the EU allowed to use information about you to discriminate? Or is that a dumb question because it's nationalized healthcare (without the intermediary leeches that we have)?
However, for Life insurance, they can discriminate all they want and will certainly mine your data.
Those aren't real countries, LOL.
(Except the ones that are under protection of some country that DOES have a military. Such as your example of our former vassal Panama.)
The way you have a country is that you have a border. The way that you have a border is that you have a military. (Even if you elect not to enforce it against illegal immigration.)
Having an army is also the only difference between a scam like Bitcoin and the US Dollar. The "full faith and credit" of a country is code-words for "we have an Army".
I'm sure this reality really upsets those living in total fantasy about this sort of thing (which is a lot of people). Like the ones who modded me into oblivion, and who will assuredly do it to this post, too.
Good for them. If there's one thing every country can agree on, it's keeping superheros off the moon. It's a marvel they didn't sign the accords earlier.
The federal government does do a lot of things other than military.
Ultimately, it can do nothing at all without a military.
What is Atlas's killer feature?
What is it really good at?
Didn't you just answer your own question?
It's for the military, you know.
