So, "People With Disabilities Don't Exist" then?

My father was recently paralyzed by Guillain-Barré, so I'll let him know, thanks.

If cameras are filming citizens in public venues, facial recognition technology is likely already being used surreptitiously by those it benefits.

In the Kansas City case, they are at least still informing the citizens they are planning to deploy it.

I guarantee there isn't a single city official in Kansas City that rides the city bus. If they did, they would have never voted in favor for this.

Also makes you wonder how many officials are getting kickbacks from SafeSpace Global for this.

I've seen enough of your posts to know you're an America Hating, Constitution Hating Inbred Cunt, "RigntwingNutJob" you Neonazi Shitbag.

The bigger problem is the number of old devices lying around with a ton of open vulnerabilities. Full disclosure to users of the EOL date, and preferably legislation that manufacturers HAVE to provide security updates for compromise vectors, would be a better set of fixes.

You're an Inbred Dumb Fucking Traitor to America, RightWingTreasonTrashBitchCuntbag.

Not what they did. You're a Lying Constitution Hating Cunt, RightWingTreasonShitbag.

Well, you Klansucking Sisterhumping America Hating ReCUNTlicans already packed the court to try to destroy our Constitutional rights. So I reject your claim that speaking out on matters of public importance as an equal citizen is "corporate sabotage," you neonazi inbred bitchtrash.

Oh god. If I spent enough time digging through my ancient Slashdot posts, somewhere back there there are posts of me going, "While I loved the strategy behind Falcon 9, I'm really not keen on this plan to make Starship out of huge carbon fibre tanks, that sounds like a really failure-prone solution..." I'm glad they only spent like a year on that idea before deciding it was dumb; somewhere back there there's also a bunch of posts of me cheering their switch to steel ;) . SpaceX still keep having random COPV problems (most of which they don't even make themselves). Not too encouraging for the notion of the cold gas thruster add-on to the Roadster, where the plan is to replace the back seat with COPVs, so you have a COPV right behind your head.

Electron has been getting by on CF, and honestly I'm impressed, but they've also been only working with very small launch vehicles thusfar. We'll see how neutron goes...

Garbage regulations like IP create these behemoths. If you want freedom, stop regulating monopolies into existence.

Don't get me wrong, there's a lot to say about printing small rocket parts, such as for the engines. But they were printing basically sheet metal cylinders, which is such an immensely slow and inefficient way to go about it, and it left them with parts that were heavier and less aerodynamic (rougher surface). Crazy that idea ever got any funding.

The one seen over Moscow might have been, with a bit more thrust...

"SapceX has got to be a huge scam too" - SpaceX launches the vast majority of the world's commercial cargo to orbit. The Falcon 9 FT has the highest success rate of any rocket with a statistically significant number of launches under its belt, and is dirt cheap. SpaceX's core operations are roughly breakeven, but that's including subsidizing the development of Starship. Starlink is a money printer.

There are lots of things sketchy about the SpaceX IPO, to say the least, but SpaceX, as a company, has been extremely successful with rocketry.

Statism creates billionaires.

MidJourney was the first sizable AI company to become profitable, having done so back in 2022.
