We can only hope it’s a rats on a sinking ship scenario.

I just heard $7000 for the cheap seats?

’m no expert computerologist, but I think that any system that requires anybody but you to have your key is insecure.

Computerologist here. You are 100% correct. If anyone says otherwise, they are selling you something.

Got a link to a favorite, especially large tumbler size?

I doubt this goes anywhere other than “virtue” signaling to his puppets that he’s stronk-man big tough! IANAL, but discovery works both ways. He would have to pony up ALL KINDS of juicy corruption transactions, etc. as soon as JPMorgan claims they closed it over money laundering and fraud. Not to mention that JPMorgan has DEEEEP pockets to fight it. I expect either a very quiet and quick settlement where they just cave to get on his good side or they go balls deep and he withdraws. My money is on the latter. TACO.

The best people?

Thanks Biden!

Most of us are working on it! And you’ve just proven my original point. You’re absolutely right in protecting yourselves - I was just alarmed that the hatred here seems to have deepened and seems pointed at anything USA instead of at our GOP administration and MAGA shitbirds. It seems we’re all being grouped and I can’t say I blame anyone for it (just upsetting to see).

Stay strong Canada -our particular brand of billionaire driven fascism is past knocking and already inside your house. I genuinely hope you all do a better job than we did.

It was. And it was due to the tarrifs and uncertain nature (I.e. Trump chaos). Between that and cooking the GDP and Jobs numbers and firing hundreds of thousands of government employees that keep us functioning and you have a shit domestic market to sell into.

We know this and it’s grim. We’re trying to remain optimistic in order to keep fighting in the face of growing fascism. The alternative is giving in or leaving, which I don’t think the world wants to see. I’m just upset that even our northern friends and close ally since WWII think this lowly of the US when we share so many facets of life. It’s been eye opening for me (and I’m not quite sure I understand the downvotes even if I appreciate everyone’s tough lough messages).

I’ll put it another way… If those of us here who are sane fail, Canada and Mexico are likely to be Poland and France. I think Venezuela or Greenland may be Czechoslovakia already. I can only ask you to encourage those of use against this nonsense as the front lines will shift quickly if they start rounding us up here. I’m pleading to your own best interests to stay positive and encouraging resistance instead of doom and gloom.

This makes me more upset than it should. So simpe, yet so painful. Only the truest of the MAGA core leaders believe Canada is anything but a friend and ally and most important trading partner to the US for the last 70 years - like maybe a few hundred people in the US, all with their own insane agenda. The 30% of MAGA that follows whatever those leaders may be lost but, 70% of the country is still pretty WTF about our current leadership’s shift to aggression.

We are sorry Canada 🇨🇦! As soon as we get this under control we hope to mend our relationship ASAP. Don’t lose faith in all of us… We still love ya!

I’m not exactly standing behind it - just saying what I’ve read. I’m confident nuclear plants are after 9/11. Anything else is probably hit or miss, including petro/gas pipelines, coal, and generating plants specifically. Plus if a bad actor (likely state sanctioned) decides to, they can get through air gaps with spies/traitors/unwitting idiots with a simple USB drive. After air gapped uranium processing centrifuges were wrecked with an errant USB drive, I would expect all systems to disable or remove USB drive connectivity, but I’m sure that’s inconsistent… at best.

Because OP posted this to “Videos” and clearly was meant to be meme material, not necessarily directed at diminishing a whole industry? And you didn’t clarify “this post”… sooo yeah, I assumed (what I took as reasonably) that since this is outside a STEM community that you were referring to me. But cool if that was a misunderstanding on my part - my apologies if that was leveled at OP. Thanks for clarifying even if I don’t think OP was doing anything other than going for the lols. But maybe I missed some undertow…

I’ll let my other point stand on it’s own. I believe whole heartedly we should challenge autonomous driving companies to do the right thing.

That’s most definitely not what’s going on here with me personally. I’m not bent out of shape about autonomous driving and demonstrated that largely it’s competent and better than most human drivers already. It’s already happening. But I appreciate the dumb and panicky shot across the bow. Then the chef’s kiss of “trash like this post” claiming I am making the industry look bad. No, please take a look at Waymo leadership. THEY are making the industry look bad. I’m not even against Waymo! They are actually doing heaps better than most and seem viable as a company. Please remember that challenging people to do better doesn’t mean you’re against them on the whole. Not everyone is 100% against you because they call out one aspect of a post either.

I never said that, nor implied it. I certainly personally think it’s worth pursuit. I was pointing out Waymo was being given a bit of a pass there, and want to remind folks that profit incidentive that ignores or downplays human risk is not at all appealing and shouldn’t be given a free pass.

If Waymo can drive and “only” kills 1% of the equivalent per human miles driven, it’s certainly better right? But given that it’s a machine with a company that has a profit motive behind it, it’s goals need to be lofty. Why not set the bar at zero human deaths as a goal post and work from there? As soon as you say a single death is acceptable, it changes how everyone approaches it and turns into “well, is a second death acceptable?” and that’s going to quickly devolve into “what is an acceptable level of death for our profit margin.” To be clear, I’m arguing the answer should always be NONE. The alternative is a slippery slope, so I don’t want to give anyone a pass.

I can only speak for the US, but our electric grids and production are supposed to be air gapped for critical infrastructure. Healthcare? I doubt it based on the continuous leaks there - and medical supply chains are tightly integrated with internet/cloud… Shopping still has a fairly sizeable local accessibility for staple items, certainly food distro where the internet wouldn’t matter for at least a short while, but it’s also tightly integrated for Supply Chain Management, much like Health care - so there could be a run on it.

I’m not sure on public transport, but most are goverment led, so probably air gapped.

There’s also a shitton of dark fiber laying about. Internet infrastructure COULD be brought back up depending on the damage that triggered outages in the first place.

pretty sure Waymo is cool with not taking safety seriously, though. Profits, amirite?

EDIT: JAYSUS this must be my most edited comment to get right.
