When reading about this proposal the only thing that can justify it is scamming investors out of their money.

First of all this internet-packet-routing-like way of transporting goods would work only if almost every town in America had rail passing through it, or at least very near it, which isn't the case. Secondly if such a rail network were to be constructed it would pay off to just have it electrified and use these carts without a battery. Until that day what rail needs is maintenance, expansion and usage, not these silicon valley pipe dreams.

This decision is incredibly coherent with the fact that tracking can be done in many ways other than with cookies. Your residential IP doesn't change that much and Google keeps track of it. Google can track your navigation through websites and associate it to your google account or shadow account just by seeing if you downloaded one of their fonts through said websites. So bravo to the Munich court for actually upholding rules against opt-out third party tracking

Sorry, what farmer has the ability to repair a design problem in an engine? In reality the vast majority of fixes are just temporary patches using materials that quickly degrade and need to be constantly replaced.

I might be mistaken, but at least in Europe (but I believe it's the same case for the US) reverse engineering proprietary software in order to fix critical bugs, add necessary features or port it somewhere else out of necessity is allowed, provided you don't share the modified program. Of course being able to share your fixes would be great, but in a sense Software Right to Repair already exists and is in a much better shape that the Hardware's one

>How does one learn how to do this?

It's not something you can learn in a fortnight. You first have to learn C and Assembly for the architecture you're using, then you need to study how different OSs on different hardware manage to make themselves boot and then you need to use this knowledge to study the SoC's documentation and implement the stuff there. If documentation were perfect maybe you'd only need to know how to program and simply follow the specification, but in these cases experience with a large number of cases is a must to navigate the environment.

Could you please explain to me the logical link between the scientific evidence that alchol is harmful in any quantity and the concepts of "having fun" and being a "slave to society"? Let's also overlook your dogwhistle regarding "eating the bugs"

Sorry, mine wasn't a plain boomer rant, there are plenty of "real" books I would never let my child read. Most classics are very mature and talk very vividly about violence, death, sex and atrocities. Children should be exposed to nuanced stuff that isn't dumbed down, it's just that these nuanced things should be in the realm of a child, leaving the more mature stuff to older people. A book talking about the friendship between two children in a complex way is cool and good, a book talking about the friendship between two drug addicts might be more suitable to someone who knows a bit more about life.

If you don't want your children to be molested via the internet don't give your children access to the internet, end of story. You'd never let your 10yo child hang out at the skater park because the moment you are not there present someone might abduct him, but letting your child create accounts on every social media imaginable and giving him unfiltered access to the network is somehow acceptable and the rest of the world should suffer because of it? Children don't need to own smartphones, computers or internet access, just like they don't need to listen to death metal or watch gore movies. Those things will come with time and maturity and your lack of parenting is never going to excuse the government snooping on everything I do

How about we replace these shitty, indecent, saddening middle-low tier restaurants with canteens? I go to a restaurant to feel served and cared after, if you can't provide that feeling of welcomeness you should downgrade all the way and just become an automated buffet with pastic chairs and plastic dishes so people can have a warm meal for pennies and do everything by themselves.

yes, let's route billions of people through Tor when we are already scraping by on bandwidth because exit nodes get shut down left and right. and no, the companies themselves shouldn't set up exit nodes to expand the network because then they would still know everyone's IP address and could give that info to the police. either the Tor network gets reinforced on a completely independent basis or nothing

I know, but with the technology we are able to employ nowadays I think it's reasonable to push for vaccines that protect people for 20 years like the one for hepatitis. Hell, now we can even think about curing cancer with mRNA, I think a strong flu/corona virus might be within our limits

you are protected from infection only if you have a huge number of antibodies since they can immediately overpower the virus when it gets in. when the antibodies are few and the virus comes in you have to wait for the trained t-cells to produce enough of them to again overpower the virus, so you get sick for a short time and then get better. of course the quality of a vaccine determines how quickly and effectively the dormant t-cells are able to produce antibodies, so a very very very good vaccine can even protect from infection years after inoculation, and that's why the CDC has recently asked for more research in order to produce these kind of vaccines for the long term

You got me there on that technicality, but since I already defined at the beginning of my post that being a pedohpile is only about arousal I think it was clear that the last sentence referred to pedophiles who actually enact on their desires. But if we want to be pedantic, a child molester can also not be a pedophile since you can have sex with people that you don't actually feel attracted to.
