Good article, because it's a canary in the coal-mine that warns us against drive-by-wire in personal automobiles. Personally I will never own or use a car that is drive-by-wire, especially if it's connected to the internet. I beli

This speculation reminds me of early speculation about Covid-19's lab origin. They are both horrible ideas, but there is also too much evidence for both for them to be dismissed as mere bad-faith fear-mongering. That's the problem

Isn't this a device waiting to happen? A small form factor PC with a blu ray reader that lets you watch blu rays. But it also rips them (ideally while playing!) such that you never need to put the disc in again. Slap a couple 20T drive

These kinds of stories seem to have no other effect than to make the world feel darker, scarier, more dreary. It is, at best, another data-point in the argument against the criminal justice system, that it is run by ignorant, ego-inflated b
