Gee you must be fun at parties. Driving in a major city requires a bit of hustle and bustle. The only result of absolute order is going to be much longer journey times, because of all of the robot cars slowing down, 'just in case'. Given the choice I prefer the current situation then the horror scenario you just played out. And you call that progress?
Ah so you prefer a world where someone (who?) declares who the good guys are and who the bad guys are and that's the end of it? I think we've already tried that model, it didn't work out so good.
A more appropriate title would be: "Idiot driver hits idiot pedestrians after purposely setting up his vehicle to do so, hoping it wouldn't, while they stupidly stand in the path of his oncoming car."
City-safe (city safety really) is a system that automatically applies the brakes when it detects another vehicle within 6 meters of the front of the car with which a collision is imminent.
This must be fun when a vehicle changes lanes directly in front of you and the computer then applies the brakes.
That brings a new dimension to stop-start driving
What causing your co-workers phone to reboot is a sackable offence where you are? What if you accidentally kick the power cord out of their PC? Doesn't sound like a fun place to be. I did it here but it didn't work, people here were genuinely interested is this was for real or not.
Yeah, that was the point I was trying to get at. Most people take the privacy of their most intimate secrets for granted -
Or they simply don't care as much as you do. Seriously, you think anyone really wants to see photos of your bum? Who is the market for all this tonnes and tonnes of useless information?
If all the world's secrets were published tomorrow I think the reaction would be "meh, what's for dinner?" It's actually worse if it only happens to one person, if happens to everyone then that becomes the new norm and no-one cares.
It's gotten so bad that I've given up on participating with society. I'm lucky enough to have a decent national radio which is commercial free, but it's mostly talk, so if I want music I have ad-free Spotify. Commercial radio is unlistenable due to the ads and other mindless drivel. TV is gone, however I do record all show (yes all of them) and watch later to be able to fast forward ads. Even that's getting unbearable due to those popup ads they use now, so increasingly turning to BT. Even live sport, I'll lock myself away, record and start the game an hour later to have the ability to FF ads.
I have Ad Block so nothing comes through the browser, so really the only ads I see are billboards and on buses when out driving, or pamphlets in the mail. I don't actually mind this type of advertising because it's passive and I can choose to see or not.
The shock is when you re-build your PC and forget Ad Block, or are at a friends house and they sit through ad after ad after ad on TV. It really is quite appalling when you've gone ad-free to see how pervasive it is. I honestly can't see how such attack on your brain is legal.
No it isn't. In a free world we each have the right to question the status quo. So in this case it is preferable that one business questions the practice of another in a court, than to not have that choice. The fact that this happened, and with the right result, is a good thing as it confirms that the system is working.
Who says it didn't grow 2 extra digits in the last 65 million years? (I'm not serious - the point is that the word dinosaur is not always used in it's scientifically pure definition. For the rest of us, anything that was a living species 65 million years ago is a dinosaur, and that's ok)
Maybe. It would be even easier to just ban IP edits entirely. Of course, that's not the idea that drives Wikipedia -
Surely different types of information can have different levels of protection. eg a page on Pythagoras Theorem should pretty much be lock in now, I can't imagine much changing there, whereas the latest football season scores will expect to be updated in an ongoing basis.
We have media blackout laws 4 days prior to an election, I can't see why relevant political pages can't be locked during this time.
So my view is really that for good schooling effect you need small groups and having overall small school size helps.
My wife is teacher and her opinion is that the secret to a good education is a supportive family, and small class sizes. Musk has both of those covered so the rest is just a foot note.
We have a good system here, the govt runs "selective schools" which are public and entry is based on merit. It allows poor, smart kids a chance to achieve, while the rabble fill public and private schools.
Musk may not being anything new -- and he's really, reading the 3 articles, just describing Montessori with a couple of tweaks, like taking the grade level away -- but at least at his school I don't think you'd be holding back those who are able to vastly outpace the slower learners.
My wife is a teacher, and is a big supporter of this type of learning, but the issue lies with scale. It's easy to teach 14 kids to use their brains over memory, but as you scale you need systems to ensure some level of consistency, and those systems then need to be administered, and all of that needs accountability and oversight. Then there's the trick of finding a good teacher. Good teachers are more art than science, so it's difficult to source reliable stock in a large organisation. Our Education Dept is 1 million students at over 2000 schools. It's impossible to maintain a bespoke, tailored curriculum with 50000 quality teachers at that sort of scale.
Sucks to be you. I've had plenty of useful meetings. Plenty that sucked arse, but some of the time decisions get made, and issues got resolved . I guess it depends on the environment you work in, as I can fully understand some places are bogged down in bureaucratic mess. Maybe time for a career change?
I fail to see how this is a fault of the tool. I do technical presentations, and when the material is too complex for Powerpoint I tell the audience that fact then don't present it in that forum. 99% of the time Powerpoint does the job.
Ok I'll give you that. But in the event of another massive oppression regime, the 35% will be slaughtered and imprisoned under the guise of patriotism and loyalty to the cause, so the end result is the same:)

Does it also have training wheels?

I've been trying to find it myself - for testing and verification of course.
I found this:

but neither did anything.
haha just notice slashdot won't display the unicode.

Or maybe setup a suffix for any sites completely and utterly devoid of any capitalism whatsoever. I know which would have less hits.
But the more cases you go through, the more prepared you are, so those costs diminish with each case.

It is a problem because a lot of people won't see the truth in time, then will forget it by the next election.
This is only a problem for the three people who vote based purely on what they read on the candidate's Wikipedia page.

Uhh...wut? Just because they looked like overgrown lizards in Jurassic Park, doesn't mean they're related to lizards.
Well, some of them actually do look like lizards.

Strawman
So, 100% of the participants knew that they were doing something wrong and spoke up.
Spoke up, but 65% still acted. Talk is cheap...
