Whether or not a human should stop seems beside the point. Autopilot should immediately get the driver to take back control if something unexpected happens, and stop if the driver doesn't take over. Getting into an actual collision and just continuing to drive is absolutely the wrong behavior for a self-driving car.

But DO rotate your passwords if you suspect they've been leaked. Or every 5-10 years probably couldn't hurt either. The thing that has a much bigger effect is using unique passwords for every service. And if you have a password manager, resetting 1 password after a leak is trivial.

I don't think that matters, since when bruteforcimg a passphrase it's more like using whole words as the characters (or tokens) in the password. If there's 7776 possible unique words, it doesn't matter what characters are in the words at all. Just how many password combinations are used.

Side note, this is assuming words without character replacements. If you consider variations with A->@ or B->8 there ends up being significantly more possible unique "words"

What are the chances of everyone interested in this project already having a tablet? I don't own any, and I certainly wouldn't be going out to buy one just to test running Linux on it. I do have multiple old phones I could turn into development test devices however. Anything is better than nothing.

There is however over 200 Cybertrucks for rent on Turo. I guess all the owners got bored of them already.

I also got my first computer around then. I saved up for ages and bought the first gen Intel MacBook with an Intel Core Duo (2 cores, no hyperthreading). I still have that laptop somewhere... It blew my mind it could run Windows, and Windows laptops couldn't compare at the time.

I've done basically this in the past by encrypting a text file with GPG. But a real password manager will integrate with your browser and helps prevent getting phished by verifying the domain before entering a password. It also syncs across all my devices, which my GPG file only worked well on my desktop.

Unfortunately the answer to that is: Elon's cheap and Radar is expensive. Not so expensive that you can't get it in a base model Civic though, which just makes it that much more absurd.

I'm not arguing against charging based on bandwidth speeds. You're right the total data transfered doesn't really make a difference.

My point is that even just charging per Mbps, internet will always be cheaper within a data center. Just like water utility service is going to be cheaper next to a freshwater river than in the middle of the desert. There's millions of dollars in equipment you're effectively renting to get the internet to your house from the nearest datacenter. Your OVH server in comparison only needs maybe 1 extra network switch installed to get it online, and you're in a WAY bigger pool of customers to split the cost of service to the building.

Fines and taxes are incentives. Companies will do whatever's cheapest, so you can make the good thing cheaper, or the bad thing more expensive. Both will have a similar effect, it's just a question of where the margins are.
If a company is selling something at-cost and gets taxed, then they'll have to raise prices for the consumer, but if they're getting a stimulus from the government it gets covered by tax payers. Which one ends up being the right choice depends on the product and company in question.

I think the strawberry problem is to ask it how many R's are in strawberry. Current AI gets it wrong almost every time.
