During the Bush depression, J.P. Morgan was selling a product to its customers that it was simultaneously betting against. According to Jamie Dimon, these were "sophisticated" investors who knew the risks.
Can't wait for this to happen with all the real estate and crypto scams which will be foisted on investors retirement accounts.
WTF is with people calling Republicans "conservative?" I don't get it. FDR was relatively conservative, next to this guy. No?
If you think the video footage wont be used for anything other than delivery, think again. That data will be kept for proof of delivery but cloud searchable by every LEO looking for activity in the area suspected of a crime with full facial recognition software, plate readers, and GPS backed by AI to identify potential targets. Amazon already handed your Ring data over, whats to stop it from happening again since there is no more expectation of privacy in the brave new world.
Maybe Scott McNealy was a prophet

Unless it's a delivery to my residence, I don't want it within my airspace. Keep above the public transportation routes until they reach the destination, whether that's at 50ft or 400ft or even 1000ft don't buzz over personal residences.
You can't even enforce that 1000 ft rule over congested airspace with manned aircraft. What makes you think you can stop it with drones? 1K ft is the FAA minimum for congested areas, and it drops to 500ft in less congested areas.
The best you can hope for is 500ft as the crow flies, and then a controlled vertical drop in front of the target residence.
No. What you describe, I just call a "conspiracy" (assuming the action is harmful or illegal or
I suppose the participants technically do also have a conspiracy theory, but I think it's inappropriate to call their direct knowledge that. The hypothesizing is usually by nonparticipants, and if they come up with a hypothesis with enough evidence to back it up such that their explanation becomes widely accepted in the mainstream, then they have a conspiracy theory.
(BTW, I know I already lost this argument decades ago. I lost the fight over the word "hacker" too. But that doesn't mean I can't grind this axe for the rest of my life! The word "theory" means something, or at least it did/should in my fantasy world.)
Not a problem. You can build your home on the East Coast in a flood zone which is impacted by hurricanes every few years. Then, when your home is destroyed because you didn't want to spend the money to make it hurricane-resistant, you get to pay to rebuild. Not your insurance company, and definitely not the government.
To see why we have "budensome" regulations, look at Boeing jets.
No. The *correct* way to fix this is to resolve the root cause:
How funding is awarded.
Currently, the paradigm is 'publish or perish', because science funding is only handed out to 'rockstars' by politicians who dont understand the fundamental value of boring replication work.
Politicians? Try college faculty administrations. No publish, no tenure. That goes whether the researcher or the school is getting a government grant or not. This is an academic culture problem, not a political problem.
He was a bomb maker. Not an ethical person.
Enrico Fermi was a great man that accomplished more in his lifetime than you would in 100 lifetimes. Fuck off, troll.
Wtf?
How exactly is the internet connection done? A really long cable?
A series of tubes.
Since Skype no longer exists, no.
Why do we want intelligent terminals when there are so many stupid users?
