As a parent, you can shove stuff in their pockets. It's convenient storage that stays with the baby and usually they won't mess with it overly much.

Back in my day we used to do that with computer to computer connections over serial ports. Ah good times. Multiplayer used to take a lot of work.

Okay but seriously. Is this like golf scoring or...?

All this would be fine if, and only if you actually owned your car and all the data in it. If you could assume no cell phone somewhere hidden away in the computer. If the data was encrypted with a key you had, not the dealer, not the police, just you.

But we all know that isn't the case. You might have a title to your car, and own almost nothing inside it. Everything is connected these days, which means someone is looking at that data and seeing dollar signs.

Interesting, but the very first item on the list is bullshit. Just because someone asked an AI about how to kill some one doesn't mean the AI is responsible for the murder. This would be way more convincing if it wasn't grasping at any connection at all. What is the count of direct cause deaths? The Therac-25 directly cooked people's bodies with radiation. There is no loose connection, yeah that killed people directly.

You are so right. I never thought of that, but yes, yes she was.

Why not both?

What a great statue, where is this?

She was part of the Lost Generation, so maybe she was just ahead of her time?

The build is failing on main. Or they don't have a build process at all.

I feel the same apathetic "whatever" response. I love rockets. I love space. I struggle to care about this.

The program is almost 2 decades late and using recycled technology. It is literally using spare parts from the shuttle. I don't believe it will ever actually get to the boots on the ground phase. I am actually surprised they made it to this mission. After all the boondoggle from Boeing I really thought it would die a quiet death somewhere out of sight.

Not only do they have technical hurdles, we have seen normally safe agencies become political battle grounds. We see science becoming less and less important at every level of society. We are living through Idiocracy and they still act like we are the same country that went to the moon the last time.

If we see people on the moon in our lifetime I don't believe they will arrive on a NASA mission.
