I dont care about Broadcom's politics. I cant change them and the Pi has been incredibly useful to me in learning and teaching electronics. I would love for the whole thing to be open, but its just not happening, so we must accept that the net gain from the PI is still a benefit to humanity, no matter how slightly 'impure' the ideology. Most of the device is 'open'.
WE want to see sanity return to development. Stop pushing out so many fucking updates. The software world needs to grow the fuck up and use proper development and deployment. Im tired of my constructs feeling like they are blowing in the wind. Build tools that will last for generations. We are fully into the Information Age, lets start acting like it. The constant changing landscape is akin to someone re-designing the wrench and bolt design every few years. It hard to build stuff on these shifting platforms.
It was chosen because the brains behind the project works for Broadcom and got a sweetheart deal with some great licensing. Its called working with the resources you have. There would BE no competitors if Pi hadnt come out. They even moved INTEL to get into the micro space with Galileo.
At 30,000 road deaths a year, we should be DEMANDING it happens. Your scenario is easily countered with saying that in an emergency a human can drive, but it is logged and they will have to explain why they engaged self-drive on an autonomous-only road. Make no mistake, autonomous cars express purpose is to remove the human equation from driving as much as possible. I trust computers WAY more than people for this task. Its going ot happen WAY sooner than you think.
It would start with highways. Auto-drive on highways, self drive in the interior. As time goes on and AI improves, we will be able to make it safe to auto-drive everywhere.
To get truly self-driving cars there needs to be a lot more tech in place. We need to develop a Roadmaster computer system that 'controls' all the cars by feeding them road parameters. WE need vehicle to vehicle(V2V) comms as well. The idea that self-driving cars are going to happen without beacons and roadmaster computers and V2V is silly. All the preparations that go into the google car to make it work needs to be baked into the road system to make it work en masse. We have long way to go, and google's car is a tiny baby step. In no way should be it considered ANYTHING but a pure research platform.
I have thought A LOT about tracking the police across the city as a citizen. IN my city all I would need is a camera on some key intersections and i could track every marked car in real time. I figured i could do it with less than $3000 in hardware.
NO there isnt. Better to have Liberty than security in this case. I want ot see what the police see, i want to know what the police are doing. We do not hire them to be secretive. ENOUGH with 'state secrets'
'justified' is a moral concept, which i have quite clearly stated i am making no comment on. Ms Sarkeesian, by virtue of her gathering resources to build a platform and speak from it against an entrenched position is force. She is the focal point of the Kickstarter donators, to speak in their name.(voting with their wallets). She is gathering allies and making enemies, causing introspection and a re-examination of how games are made. THAT is force, change, etc. Of course some people's interests are going to conflict with this position and feel the need to counter it with force of their own. Im not sure exactly what bothers you about this concept. Care to explain?
I am not making a statement on moral or ethical grounds. Please put away all your thought-terminating cliches. I merely pointing out the MECHANICS involved here. I dont care who is right or wrong, only pointing out that force is being used and countered.
Ugh. So incredibly inefficient. I will consume and process orders of magnitude more information in my lifetime than you will by not clinging to outdated methods of information exchange. Its great that you enjoy it, but keep in mind all of those things that you like will make your books cost significantly more and you will get less information overall due to the physical overhead.
The great thing about ebooks is that this is tempest in a teacup. There is NO barrier to entry so the protectionist rackets will have to come down. The end of their era is over, and its time to apply force to show them the future. I love what is amazon is doing to force everyone to see that ebooks are way WAY overpriced for the Information Age.
Speaking publicly is using force via persuasion. Force doesnt need to be forced to be force. There are people who feel her force is wrongly applied and they counter with speech (counter-force).
The problem is they will tell you 'You absolutely can distribute your own apps, as long as you buy the server infrastructure from us to do it.' It is possible to side-load on iOS, Android and WinPhone platforms, just not for average users.
Dude, thats less than 5 GB a DAY. Thats nothing on the modern internet. I can go through that just uploading my surveillance videos to my offsite. Our infrastructure needs SERIOUS upgrades to handle these loads. Stop asking this question, start asking yourself why you think thats a lot of data, because it isnt.
Watermarks are pointless in this context. Watermarks are used to annoy pirates and nail leaky insiders, thats about it. Its an extremely limited tactic.
Not in the slightest. Until there is a DCMA exception for fair use, the MAFIAA is still well on the hook. Fair use should not be allowed to be bound by encryption.

Hotmail is what drove people into MSN
For fucks sake, its a $35 piece of silicon that can be used to teach kids things. Stop being a Stallman.

You dont hold on to Liberty by viewing every citizen as a murderous stalker.

Her work contains very few valid points, and none of them particularly insightful. She has a hammer and sees only nails.
Stop. You are trading Liberty for Security by raising a spectre.
Its not surprising. She is using force, there will always be counter-force.

The DMCA cares. it stifles massive amounts of speech on this subject.
More like, it is what a few players have conspired to force the world to use, by making it a trap.
