Oddly no one sees this as a problem, are we winning yet?

Once ready to fly drones hit the market the RC hobby industry's exemptions were doomed to be revoked. Too many people treating them as toys and not a serious hobby. It's that simple.

For decades the RC hobbyists could keep themselves in check, mostly because everyone put effort into building their aircraft or vehicle so it was actually worth something to the owner. Now it's just toys pulled out of a box flying everywhere not really caring that a hobbyist segment earned the right to the exemption.

I think that because the eventual end game of the current situation is one giant global company. And no one else. It reduces any one corporations's power and allows competition which is stamped out by merging to be bigger than someone else.

Someone blogging about a problem that was actually fixed... Next up, their toilet clogged!

First, a corporation should be created and end as it's own entity; mergers and acquisitions should not be a thing between corporations. As such their company was in decline and should be dissolved if they can't continue as a going concern. Auction off the carcass and close the book on the corporate charter.

Maybe some Millennial will buy it, they'll buy anything when they can afford it.

Society: trending down.

Schools are just too big. More local schools with smaller buildings and a hell of a lot less administration department. All this weapon detection and eyes everywhere just says school buildings have become too big to manage in any reasonable way. I'm not saying we should go back to the little schoolhouse in every neighborhood, but almost.

Who could have ever thought to test for the condition that a traffic light is out. I mean it's unthinkable. Waymo should be suspended from public roads until they prove they fixed it.

You don't own gasoline either, you refill your tank (oddly like charging a battery) and it's charge slowly goes up in smoke. It's a lot more like renting than you vink..

Those bots that auto-expire valid bug reports after only a week of inactivity cuts way down on wasting time fixing bugs and lets me review^^^^^^H use and fix^^^H release all the bad code the other AI bots are creating for me.

The world has changed, get over it. Cameras everywhere. They may be out to take your money but they are not out to get you - in fact they don't care about you unless you have money to spend. BTW you are still free to make faces at the camera.

The reason cameras are everywhere is because we tolerate non life threatening crime now, in fact the expense and loss from petty crimes are built into our economy.

You can set up a password restricted server? I am sure the game cloud industry would be happy to rent you one for a few days.

Back in the days of Quake3 modding there were conditions of input that were not humanly possible simply due to the way the math worked out - for a time it was possible to detect a cheat client simply because the turning movements were a distance of '1' when the human input device coding of the official client for the mod made the value start at '2'. You can design game mechanics that can only input distinct ranges of input and detect when that input to the server doesn't fit the restrictions of the design.

It is possible because it has been done. And yes, it is always a game of catch-up on the game designer's side.

Fine, let the professionals use a locked down computer system. But let the rest of us just play a game for fun without the risk of brick?/crash?/infecting?/sandbagging/spyware on our own computer.

Sure the user will no longer see the AI scraping their data, but it won't be off. Sort of like Google Sync.
