> All Tesla vehicles produced in our factory, including Model 3, have the hardware needed for full self-driving capability at a safety level substantially greater than that of a human driver. My my, that is brazen!

If I design a city whose main artery is a highway where traffic grinds to a halt for two hours every day at 6 o'clock, I'm going to see frequent incidents of road rage. The takeaway there isn't "people are toxic",

I was thinking of North America, where "carding" is still standard practice.

Holy mackerel! Thank you :) I've been thinking about this issue for weeks. This standard looks very relevant!

You've never provided any business with ID? How do you get into nightclubs? The internet is important. When something is important enough, it is worth the risk. That's why people share secrets with their bank, lawyer, doctor, psyc

Absolutely! It would be far from perfect, and, but for the worst-case scenario that the internet currently embodies, not worth pursuing. But there's so much room for improvement today. Just placing a barrier against sock puppet accou

In my ideal world, we have a framework for brick-and-mortar businesses to act as internet notary service providers. If you want a general-purpose open-id style account, you visit a notary, and provide them with a fee and proof of your ident

It seems to me nerds came very late indeed to the "internet is broken" party. Most of us wanted to believe there was an "invisible hand" online, guiding the world to reason and brotherly love. My perception is that the i

An opaque piece of tape used to disable a camera is one of few components a user can completely understand. Apple is probably correct to tell users to rely on Apple's security features, but those features are way more complicated tha

More seriously, the nice thing about this "prediction" is that it's so close. So I can go on record and say: Teslas will not be fully self-driving "by the end of the year" nor even by the end of next year, nor t

TDM was always my favorite feature of post Classic Macs. When Apple started abusing the Mac line (eg: ports, extra cables, magsafe, the ability to buy an external display) I joked that one day they'd remove TDM. And seven years later,

I agree that these companies could afford to hire tens of thousands of people, and have them follow a flowchart. I don't see that environment ever delivering competent moderation. Not to mention, it's unethical to subject employ

A lot of approaches to moderation seem destined to fail, afaic. I think first principles should be: 1. There is no such thing as objective moderation. The universe gives us no way to conclusively prove something is good, fair or true. 2. Y

I don't want an internet of bullshit, but that's all we'll ever have, as long as anyone can create 50,0000 sock puppet accounts, and claim to be Pope Francis himself. The vast majority of the time, I don't need to know y

The "flat design" we've had for the past decade really is flat design, but the dubbing of what preceded it as "skeuomorphism" was a misnomer, in most cases. In theory, an old "save" icon would look like

Thanks. The last time I considered doing this was a decade ago, before "https everywhere." Is it some kind of wildcard cert that covers the entire internet? I'd have to research what it would break, and the security ramificat

On a related note, does anyone here use, or know of, a good, Raspberry Pi-based content proxy server? Pi-hole is only a DNS server, so it wouldn't block half the nonsense on the web today.

It's the internet today that feels like AOL: a great mass of ignoramuses, posting nonsense at each other on some proprietary web property. I want an internet that helps to enlighten society, not mainly induces it to pump out memes, i

CSS is reusable in some ways, but not in the sense that you can take a stylesheet from one site, apply it to another, and have a guarantee that the result will make sense. This is partly because HTML has its own competing presentation featu

I agree completely. Without CSS the web would be much more boring and visually dull. The point I wanted to make with my comment is that the dullness also has advantages.

I've come to believe that, in retrospect, 'AJAX' was a mistake. For the first decade of the web, nearly all its functionality was implemented using HTML tags. What roles does the web serve that benefit humanity? Some of the m
