Speed-limits aren’t uniform, so you’d have to have some kind of GPS connectivity as well as an up-to-date database that tracks what the current speed-limit is and where the user is (good bye privacy). Also better make sure the software doesn’t think you are on the 30mph access road that is beside the 70mph highway.

It would be a terrible idea, but maybe not worse then what the article is describing.

left lane… on a residential road

Hmm, perhaps this is the issue with our car-centric society and it won’t actually be solved with big-brother surveillence.

Did you know that potential attackers can pinpoint your location if they are in the same public place as you?

This really seems like complaining that a location enabled app that explicitly shares your location with other users is sharing your location with other users. That is 100% the purpose of the app to begin with!

hahaah. Ok sure you win. Linux TTY’s are absolutely not terminals. Sure they are called terminals, they are for all intents and purposes modern-day terminals with a long and storied history that directly links them to terminals from the 70’s but since they aren’t a physical piece of hardware that electro-mechanically connects to a mainframe, obviously they aren’t really terminals and they should be be called something else.

Do you know what a terminal is?

And also bittorrent.

Full tunnel using routing wouldn’t work but many full tunnel implementations use a shim where once the Tunnel is connected, the system route table isn’t referenced anymore, so you can put as many static routes etc as you want, but all traffic will hit the VPN interface before routing is done. For example Cisco any connect removes route look-up from the TCP/IP stack of the local system.

This won’t mitigate this specific attack, however running your VPN as a full tunnel will.

Same with the liberals. You know the ones who voted to increase police budgets after the largest anti-police protests since the civil rights era. The ones who cheered when Obama overthrew libya. The ones who were upset about missing brunch while they were protesting the same policies Obama created when Trump was president, and then stopped when Biden became president. The ones who watch Hamilton and cheer everytime they see Clinton.

Ok, now what is causing it to happen? Is there any value in pointing out that it is happening, or should one look to the structures of society that make that kind of thing inevitable and repeatable in every facet of society?

Electricity specifically generating/controlling it.

For the entirety of human existence and before humans even existed, electricity shaped our world and even kicked off the “spark” that allowed dna to propagate and exist from ~2billion years ago until today. But literally only ~200years ago, were we finally able to understand and create it.

How about trains? That way 99% of people dont’ even need to drive, ever.

Also breathalyzers. You can be compelled to give blood/breath/etc in the course of a criminal investigation and there are no constitutional protections covering you.

Where is the ctrl+alt+del function defined? I just want to see what made that sequence work. I’d also be interested in where ctrl+break is defined.

You get rid of cars and you stop designing society to accommodate the one edge case where someone lives 100miles away from a city that they have to commute by car to everyday for some reason.

When my calculator app in windows is suspended, but has locked 29 threads and is using 60megs of ram. Not that those two values are significant, but why is my caluclator-app “suspended” when I closed it a few days ago since the last time I used it? Shouldn’t it just be closed and not showing up at all.

But you are missing the point,. There is no reason to ever start a calendar at year zero. The starting point can be zero, fine, but once the first day goes by, you are in the first day of year 1, not year zero and that is logical and has nothing to do with smart astronomers etc, “not understanding the number zero.”

At this point I’d say the only person who doesn’t understand zero is you.

this is absolutely wrong.

“They,” i.e. the catholic church, or whoever was tasked with coming up with a calendar, absolutely understood the concept of zero in the 1500’s. Yes, Zero took a bit longer to formalize and enter the zeitgeist of the public consciousness, but this myth of zero being some kind of unknowable thing for thousands of millennia is naive.

I’d go so far as to say that a year zero in a calendar is useless. There should be a starting point of course, but calling it yero zero instead of year 1 is dumb.

Descent 3 was probably the weakest in the series, but it also spawned Descent: Freespace and the best space sim since wing commander, Freespace2 which is fucking amazing. I think it is still opensource but there was some interplay fuckery about it that I don’t remember.
