The Bitcoin community in general is very toxic and unsavory. That's probably why they aren't funding them.

Pretty cool. This could be a good primer for Uber devs.

> Then there is the question of whether the Uber-supplied video accurately represents the lighting conditions at the time... Why would that matter? The issue here is that the LIDAR system failed to detect the pedestrian.

The value proposition of the cloud was that it saves time and sometimes money because of usage pricing. The only advantage of blockchain is that it's supposedly more secure against tampering.

The fault is with Uber because their software should have been able to use LIDAR to detect the person walking in the road.

How could you possibly know if the mistake was reasonable?

No.

This is comparable to prosecuting the developer who works for a gun manufacturer when a new type of digital "safety" fails.

It's not a unique situation. Developers are responsible for software that kills.

A software developer fucked up. It could have been much worse. It's going to make our industry look worse if we aren't held accountable.

Doesn't Bitcoin need mining to handle transactions?

Ideally we just have something that can handle fast transaction volume without wasting a lot of electricity. Hedera Hashgraph looks like it might be able to do that. It's still very early, but lightning networks aren't the solutio
