> focus on get rich quick schemes Sorry, but the whole finance (and VC) world is about getting rich quickly. Cryptos, while being more scammy due to newness and lack of regulations, are not fundamentally special in this regard.

The article gave the example of a guy sending money to his mother's phone number, but somehow someone else registered that number and the bank refused initially to refund him because the transaction was authorized by him.

That's why I said timestamped. You would generate a new package, with the same biometrics, but with a timestamp after the revocation date of the previous package, just like today you can get a new passport with the same data as the old

Why couldn't we use a mechanism like certificate revocation? When you want to revoke you timestamped biometric package you just push it to some online revocation list.

The way other articles describe it, a pro player is not really aware of the incoming ball, lower level non-conscious (reflex) systems track the environment and react before you are aware of it, just like when a regular person dodges a sudde

The way the article (and pictures) describes it, the car will receive a full instruction package before starting to execute it. And all regular systems (collision avoidance, ...) will presumably still be active.

It's just another case of rich versus poor, famous versus nobody. Imagine if that dead man was Steve Jobs or Prince or the CEO of some big bank, what policeman would dare to attempt such a thing.

You seem to know way more about the fields so I defer, but I think there is a market for just cutting wood, plastic or soft metals like aluminum. A low cost machine obviously will have a bunch of limitations.

> Surely you’ve seen birds flying without flapping? Isn't that when they just "ride" the winds? The wind pushing against the back of their wings which is hold angled thus pushing it higher (like a boat sail).

Brilliant idea, outsource to the human the low-precision positioning task and get rid of the workpiece fixtures for massive price reduction. Now someone needs to build the equivalent for 3-5 axis, maybe with a free movable support arm since

The mistake would be that this is what provides the lift force, as stated in the quote. If this was so, birds wouldn't need to flap, which is the actual lift generator (pushing air down).

What if you were to invest in a publicly traded non-Finnish company, let's say Apple? How do you think the government should treat that?
