It wasn’t widely known to the general public. If you were / are new to the community it’s highly likely that you don’t / didn’t know.

As someone with a BL P2S I really appreciate other people helping with this fight. I won’t buy another BL product but I’d like to keep using the one I already have.

For getting a big pile of money from the state and deferring contributions to city pensions?

Me neither!

Why does every fediverse reddit clone have to pull this shit?

People want to live in Echo Chambers.

Politically motivated censorship is the type of thing many people are trying to get away from.

Nah, most of 'em just want to be the ones doing the censoring.

First the US isn’t mentioned in this article. Second this is NOTHING like Minority Report. Your comment is dumber than a bucket of hair.

It’s not enabled by default.

Since we’re whipping out credentials, I’ve been in IT almost 30 years and I can tell you it’s not going to work like that.

I’m not the person you were replying to but I’ve also been in tech since 1996 and lots of things have worked just like that. All successful technology starts off barely functional and improves over time until nearly all members of it’s intended audience can successfully use it.

As an example in 1996 setting up a router was a specialty task that required training, by 2016 any moron could buy one off the shelf and have it running in an hour. As another example basic HTML was a specialty skill in 1996 but by 2003 you could do it with Microsoft Word. Smartphones are another example, they went from barely functional Windows Mobile and Blackberry devices which required ridiculous amounts of back end skill to deliver email to iPhones and Androids that any numskull can use for nearly anything at all.

My point is this; too many people are stuck on the “What use is a newborn baby?” question without realizing that the infant is growing-up at blinding speed. It’s also the first technology to carry the promise, real or not, of self-improvement when it reaches sufficient maturity. Assuming that happens all further improvement will be increasingly automatic and happen even faster.

AI isn’t going away and it’s only going to get better as time goes on.

A comment up above says that in Canada the age limit is 50.

Yep it’s tiring but comment aged link milk because the very next day a bill was introduced to Congress.

Not even close, both of these projects are wildly deficient for that kind of use and the effort required to solve those deficiencies would at least 10x if not 20x the cost.

That doesn’t mean they are useless, I can definitely see some eyebrow raising asymmetric possibilities.

If you’re seriously interested in this DIY Radar System I strongly suggest you grab a full copy from Github and put it on local storage as I doubt it’s going to remain up for long.

David wasn’t God’s Son nor was he a Christian, but you knew that already.

Even the Apostles got it twisted while Jesus was alive. Luke 9:51-56 is relevant here.

You’re not wrong but I was specifically referencing the ground based drones with my comment. Apologies that wasn’t clear.

China’s SPR is the largest in the world, by a lot, but it’s also the world 2nd largest consumer of oil and it imports almost 70% of what it uses.

The US SPR is about 1/3rd the size of China’s but it is also a net exporter with a surplus of around 2.4 Mbbl/s per day.

It’s generally accepted that China has a large enough SPR to cover about 120 days. The US is essentially limitless since, at least on paper, it produces more than it needs.

I viewed some analysis over the weekend proposing that China would run into petroleum problems in mid-June if something doesn’t change with the Iran situation.

I’m not the person who made the claim but Device Fingerprinting has been around for decades and Hardware ID is certainly part of that.

“You shall know them by their fruits.” - Jesus Christ

Neither Trump nor Vance are Christians.

Until the drones start getting used on civilians. Which is absolutely going to happen and soon.

Two States, California and Washington, are not “The US” any more than France and Germany are the European Union. They are important no doubt but they do not themselves represent the entire entity.

Diesel at $5 a gallon is going to concern him a lot in a couple of months. In fact it’s going to be a very great concern for the entire Republican Party.
