Actually, any old parking lot will do. I could take my 10 year old to a shopping center and put them behind the wheel of a car and set them loose and he would not be breaking any traffic laws. Now, I'm sure I could get in trouble for some reckless endangerment of a minor, but I would counter if he completed his driving wreckless, it wouldn't be endangerment :)

Comment Passing a stopped school bus (Score 1) 95

If this were being used to catch those that pass a stopped school bus and only a stopped school bus, I would support. Here is how it ought to work. Camera records when the stop sign comes out. If no cars pass, video gets deleted immediately, otherwise it gets sent to the local PD.

No issue with this use case.

Mass surveillance, this is an issue.

In its fiscal second quarter ended January, Intuit reported revenue of $4.65 billion, a 17% increase, and net profit of $693 million, a 48% improvement compared to a year earlier.

Ya...that's some recession. A really deep recession. None of this is about AI, it's about profits. Companies have a "free" pass to cut their workforce and blame it on AI and they are doing just that.

Comment Let's heat the world! (Score 1) 37

I have an idea, let's take heat from the ground and pump it into the atmosphere! You want global warming, I got your global warming! Yes, I understand that the global warming we are most concerned about is with regards to a runaway greenhouse effect, but it is worth nothing that EVERYTHING in modern society produces waste heat.

The Falcon 9 has been launched 640 times with 637 mission successes (one of which was successfully delivered one payload, but not it's second). This does not include one pre-flight failure. The operational success of the Falcon 9 is nothing short of amazing. It's chasing the R-7 family (Soyuz-U, Kosmos-3M, Proton) at over 1800 launches. The R-7 has an estimated success rate of 97% which is amazing giving the technology at the time it was designed.

The Falcon 1 had 5 launches and 3 failures.

Now Starship..LOL! That's a whole lotta mess there.

It's a great time to be alive.

IDK, if you spend it wisely. I just hit 50 years of age and have only had three years that I've made more than that and the last 16 years as the sole income earner in the family. I could go on a huge long humble brag about how well my family is doing, but what's the point. I'd think we are easily upper middle class.
