No, it COULD NOT 'potentially' do that. Full Google account access IS NOT, and DOES NOT INCLUDE Gmail access. So it CAN NOT access your email, docs, etc, even potentially.
Market valuation is simply the stock price times the number of outstanding shares. The company sees none of that money. The only thing market value is useful for is an approximation of how much you would have to spend to buy the company.
Why did you pick something odd like a soda machine? Why not use a reference that most people interact with daily - an automatic transmission. To the vast majority of the driving public, an automatic transmission means that the transmission will do ALL of the proper gear selection and shifting. So now we have a new thing, IN THE SAME ENVIRONMENT, but here 'auto' means 'well, we'll give it a try'.
You are missing something important though. With a 747 (for example), the costs of developing, testing, certifying, factories, tooling, etc is SHARED between the cargo and passenger users of the plane. When you start talking of using a completely different airframe for cargo and passengers, that sharing (largely) disappears, and the price of both types of planes just went way up. Any expected cost savings from using pods have likely just disappeared.
Where is that 'considerable evidence'? The traffic fatality rate was about 40% higher 10 years ago, 70% higher 20 years ago, 250% higher 30 years ago, and 350% higher 40 years ago.

Well, for starters, the rules are not similar to hobby restrictions.
A commercial operator must be 16 years old and have a remote pilot certificate. A hobbyist is not under such restrictions. A commercial operator may not fly over people. A hobbyist is not under such restrictions. A commercial operator may only fly during daytime, or at twilight with proper lights. A hobbyist is not under such restrictions. A commercial operator must maintain line of sight. A hobbyist is not under such restrictions.
In fact, the only things that look similar to the hobbyist rules are size and altitude restrictions, and the fact that you do not have to get specific permission to operate a drone if you follow the rules. I fail to see what is 'bought-and-paid-for' about that.
You're really stretching to try to make a point that can't be made. If there are not sufficient resources on-site, the on-site resources can request more! And 911 isn't going to send more resources just because you said so, they are going to let on-site make that call.
If there is a venue that is so pathetic that their emergency plan is 'I hope someone has a cell phone and calls 911', then they probably should let you have your phone. But that is a purely contrived scenario and does not enter into this discussion.
You have provided no evidence that a coordinated emergency response system is less effective than calling 911. None, just a lot of 'but but buts'.
And if you want to talk about statistics and saving lives, don't forget to add in the other lives that were lost because 911 was busy handling calls that should not have been made in the first place.
What kind of events do you go to where it is hard to find event staff? Have you ever actually been to an event? And no matter what, you are going to have to find event staff, unless you think your phone is going to also treat the person and transport them to the hospital.
Here is what actually happens when you call 911 from an event (personal experience):
911: 911, what is the nature of your emergency Me: I think my companion is having a heart attack 911: What is your location Me: XYZ Arena 911: Is an event in progress? Me: Yes 911: EMS is on-site for all events. Find the nearest person with a 'Staff' or 'Security' vest and tell them. They will have EMS there immediately
And I did, and EMS was there within 30 seconds. And before EMS even arrived, the security staff had cleared a path for them and made room around the patient.
They are specifically trained. Not to do anything medical, but to get on their radios and say 'medical emergency in section 123'. Then, as if by magic, the ON SITE EMS team shows up and deals with it.
No, the term security by obscurity means that the method MUST be a secret, because that secret is the only thing providing security. It is entirely possible, and quite normal, to have a security system which does not REQUIRE the method to remain secret, yet still not disclose what that method is. That is NOT security by obscurity, it is additional security by obscurity, and is in no way a bad thing.
Not disclosing the method sucks from an auditability standpoint, but in no way means that the actual security is provided by obscurity.
They have been around a lot longer than that. Mainframes have had 'service elements' and 'support processors' for at least 40 years. And those things can do a heck of a lot more than the Intel AMT stuff. Like alter/display ANY register or ANY storage.
Uh, no. This was a jury deciding that one party's actions harmed another party, and that the second party is entitled to compensation. There is no question of 'legality under US law'.
That is incorrect. For instance, can you show the statute that allows you and I to enter into a contract? How about the statute that says I can sue you if you break the contract? Where's the statute that allows you to own property? How about the one that says you can sue me if I injure you? None of those statutes exist, yet those things are all covered under common law.
Common law existed for centuries before Congress was even created. Torts, such as libel and slander, have been part of common law for centuries, and Congress had nothing to do with them.
This separation of common and statutory law is so important that we have the 9th amendment to protect it.
How can people be so clueless about their government? It is called common law, and it has existed far longer than the United States. And in case you think it has no weight, you might want to check out the 9th amendment.
The courts certainly do create law. Read any transcript from a civil trial and you will see loads of references to other cases and why or why not THAT particular law should apply in this case. If Congress (or other jurisdictions) made all the law, all that would be required is a reference to statute XYZ.
The law made by courts is called Common Law, and is the basis for pretty much all civil law.

Editors, do you do anything???
No, it COULD NOT have been written to do that. The permissions that it received DO NOT allow access to email, etc
No, it COULD NOT 'potentially' do that. Full Google account access IS NOT, and DOES NOT INCLUDE Gmail access. So it CAN NOT access your email, docs, etc, even potentially.

It IS always resolved locally via the router. The issue is NOT for people with these routers, it is for anyone else who goes to that domain.
It has nothing to do with 'the CLOUD' or any such nonsense. The internal name server in the router resolves that name to ITSELF.
The first one. It is short for Cavaliers, the name of the team.

Dropping cases on people would kind of require flying over people, which is not allowed.
No, the law does not prevent people from blocking the use of cell phones. It prevents people from interfering with SIGNALS from cell phones.

That is not in any way security by obscurity. Unsurprising that some idiot mods model you up.
