Yes anyone can read books out loud. The real question is will people pay money to listen to your voice for hours?

Superman is not coming.

Every time someone promises a technological solution to a human behavior issue, we get farther from solving the problem. If we decide that 45,000 road deaths per year is too high a cost for the 3.19 trillion vehicle miles traveled per year, then we can:

1. Require actual driver training, education, and certification prior to granting driving privileges.
2. Be more strict on major road crimes: criminal speeding, driving without a valid driver licenses, drunk driving, etc.
3. Require licensure re-testing every 10 years until age 65 at which point testing should be required every 5 years.
4. Invest more in local transit so that the reduced number of of people without drivers licenses have improved transportation options.

But the tech may not pan out. Or it may not be affordable. Or it may not be financially feasible (one company taking on the liability of multiple deaths per year probably won't survive).

So ya... we need to assume that Superman isn't coming and apply the solutions we know would work.

But they at least had to import that problem, the US didn't even have to do that.

The other thing not mentioned is that Hell Diver 2 was originally supposed to have the PSN requirement. However, it was way more popular than Sony anticipated at launch and their PSN infrastructure could not handle the amount of players interfacing with Steam. So they removed the requirement temporarily while they worked on their infrastructure.

A major issue is that Steam is in more countries than PSN. A major complaint is that some players will not be able to play the game anymore as their country currently does not have PSN. This should have been addressed somehow. The other issue is that people do not like to login twice. This is more of an inconvenience though.

If you have seen Starship Troopers, it is loosely based on that. You and your squad (co-op play) are dropped onto an alien planet being overrun by bugs and/or androids and you have to fight your way out. The humor is satirically patriotic and testosterone driven. However the game is $40 not $60.

Also cats and dogs are living together now!!

There was at least one during a trial. They stopped it, but I can't currently find the story and there are many substitute stories which seem to be covering it in the search engines.

However, here's a real example from Malaysia for a car.

Biometric IDs have been tried in South America. During a previous try in Mexico, using fingerprints to verify cash machine access, a fair number of people ended up losing their fingers or hands to thieves who took them during muggings hoping to use them together with their stolen credit cards. Perhaps some of us have some experience in the field, remember things like this and don't want to find out where this type of thing can end.

Generally, never use something that cannot be updated and/or replaced or given away as an identifier for access to money.

Nobody knows how to do that, at least not for a model of useful size. It would have to be reasoning in order to explain, but they aren't doing that.

While individual Tweets are short, a series of Tweets them might be lengthy. An inaccurate summary might convey the wrong information. For example two people discussing Tesla might be discussing how the company market cap is less than $500B due to stock price dropping over the last year. That could be incorrectly summarized to Tesla losing $500B over the last year.

That is rather false dichotomy thinking. Did you even read the link where it says specifically the feature was approved for "over-the-counter" use. As such, the FDA and doctors are not going to suggest the watch be the ONLY diagnostic tool to use in a situation. If the watch notifies someone of a problem, that person should seek medical attention. Did you think that an alert by an Apple Watch means the person is immediately put on a heart transplant list? Did you think that hospitals have replaced all their patient monitoring devices with Apple Watches?

The systems do in fact allow you to choose less than 3 seconds' following distance. People are literally complaining that the system won't let them drive unsafely.

The faster you go, the more space you need between cars to maintain safe following distance. If I have a safe following distance between me and the car ahead, if someone merges into that space then I no longer have safe following distance, so now we need even more space. At commute times there is not enough road available for all the cars to have safe following distance at speed. This is what happens on any overutilized road. If you wait for that much distance to appear then traffic backs up at the point of entry.

Obviously they don't hold the crypto for long since the fraudsters want to cash it into something actually useful. Even if they held the crypto for a month, which is rediculously long, that would only account for 1/3 of market cap

365 * (2.5/9.7) / 3 = 31.3

Off the top of my head Aunt Baru and Mon Mothma come to mind.

If you're trying to make a thing out of the small number of ladies in those movies though I should point out that low counts of female actors is pretty typical of movies within this genre during this time period. If anything Lucas deserves some props for having a female lead character that doesnt take shit and kicks ass in a movie made in the 70's. Leia as a weak "damsel in distress" would have been much more common for the period.

I'm totally with "independent" journalists. It's very clear that groups like Bellingcat have been key in identifying a bunch of truths that would otherwise be hidden. However, those groups don't exist in a vacuum and they need the sales they make to other groups.

I think you'll find that if you applied my test around corrections you will find that the people you are talking about don't even try. I would have ruled them out completely. Even mainstream reasonably "honest" media groups like the Guardian and the BBC have their bias given away by checking their corrections and seeing that inevitably they make mistakes in certain particular directions. However the fact you can often see the corrections is what makes me use the word "honest".
