If you go onto the internet and see an article about a guy you knew who died, and you start reading the article and then the comments and you DO NOT EXPECT the internet to be the internet then you shouldn't be on the internet in the first place.
As someone else said, there are 7.7 billion people on the planet and 1.8 billion seconds in a 90 year life span.
None of us here knew the guy, what are we supposed to do? Go into hysterics because he's dead and it's so TERRIBLE AND THE WORLD HAS ENDED AND NOTHING WILL EVER BE THE SAME EVER AGAIN!
Do you realize how many people died around the world while I was typing this very post? Do you mourn all of them? And if so, do you then mourn the people who died while you mourned the first group?
No IT system will ever be strong enough to defend against a user clicking on a link to go to a webpage and voluntarily entering their credit card info.
I can't be bothered to do math before getting my morning coffee, but if a single one of the Republicans was a Democrat seat instead, and had still voted for, would the percentage come closer to equal or would it actually swing over to the other side?
For the purpose of determining active addresses, though, it's still 2^128. Just because every customer is given a/56 doesn't mean that every single one of those addresses is useful and active.
DING DING DING we have a winner. It's basic survival instincts and evolution at play.
If you die, YOU DIE. Game over, you don't get to spread your genes any further. If your FRIEND dies, you win his mate. If your friend SURVIVES, he helps you in return, which makes it easier to spread your genes.
If the physical machine the police car would need in order to send a signal to an autonomous vehicle to make it stop is sitting within the police car's instrument panel, or in some other not-immediately-possible-to-disassemble spot, you need to either steal the police car or strip it to get to this specific machine. I was attempting to answer your hypothetical scenario of said machine being stolen.
Make the system an integral part of the police car - you can't steal it without ripping the car apart at the very least.
Then make some kind of security scenario which makes it at least REALLY difficult to reverse-engineer one. Encrypted hash, authorization on a secured server that both police car and targeted car accesses a la over-the-air firmware updates and so on. There are several ways of making this work without giving your average schmuck access to stopping any car he wants.
For a self-driving car, obviously such a system would include making the car automatically pull over in the emergency lane just like a (law-abiding) human driver would do if a police car was waving a STOP sign at him.
I see mention elsewhere in the discussion that the car would run out of fuel eventually; I'm assuming a self-driving car will also detect that such an event is imminent and pull over as it's starting to sputter to a halt.
I only have a problem with someone sitting in a control center and getting any car he wants to stop. A low-range signal that can be sent from a police car to a car they need to stop, however, is harder to argue against.
Name definitely. Phone number definitely, as GP said contacting customers in an emergency can be necessary. Address comes along with ID verification, also for sending membership cards etc. Most people likely sign up voluntarily. Credit card saved for most guests as that will allow direct access to room service, mini-fridge in the room etc. Few would insist on having to whip out the card every single time. Date of birth falls under ID verification and is usually printed on driver's license or passport which is what you'll be showing to prove that your name actually IS John Smith.
Never underestimate the amount of data people are both required to hand over and will voluntarily hand over in the interest of luxury.
Wow. Suddenly the number went from unbelievable to "1000 customers per hotel over X number of years". I almost got whiplash from that change in perception.
The connection is complimentary. You could just as well be trying to complain about what KIND of chocolate a hotel leaves on the pillows in their rooms, or perhaps which sports game a bar is choosing to show on their TV.
I don't approve of censorship, but Starbucks is (fortunately) not an ISP. Your cable company is. And before you get into it, the law would be simple: Any service provider who is getting their service from another service provider can filter as they please, UNLESS that upstream provider is not available to the customer as a civilian living at that specific place. Bam, Starbucks can filter if they get through Comcast, but Comcast can't filter.
As long as you know exactly what you get for your money, eg. a bundle of 5x Item 1, 10x Item 2 and 1x Item 3, then it's not a loot box. It's a different problem, and I'm against microtransactions as a matter of principle, but the gambling aspect of loot boxes is a problem entirely in its own category.

I suppose this is the Streisand effect of the cartography world.
Don't forget IDGAF. ;-)
Any maze in which you aren't looking for the door outside but the stairs going up or down. Or given game logic, a teleporter.
At that point we may as well get Sword Art Online.

"Alright Alice, now for the next 200 MB file for payroll, enter the following ..."
I do the opposite. I download thousands of illegal copies of Tom Cruise movies. Sooner or later Scientology will be ruined by extension!
*69 is a phone code to dial back the last number to have called.

I'm sorry, am I using the wrong words?

Should I use some other word than integral?
No, it's not all that different.

By that argument, all you need to do is steal a police car or make a white car look like a police car.
He had sex with a woman?

Like, a real woman?

He's my hero!
Are we discussing this right? Also, Citation Needed.

Hug, I'd forgotten about that story.
