I expect within 10 years people will be able to generate entire feature length films on-demand. They'll be able to specify everything from the ip, to the plot, to the actors and musician style.
Not saying this is a good thing. Just saying I expect it will become a thing.
If you're saying the automotive industry is stymieing such statistics, than I fully agree. I think that incentive is a stronger argument than my other speculations.
However I do believe scooters need to be regulated more.
Speed limiters. I've seen people going 60kph, passing cars in the bike lane. With no helmet.
Mandatory insurance & licencing. But make it like fishing licenses where its relatively easy/cheap, you're informed of the rules, sign a contract you'll adhere to them, and then if you get caught without it or contravening it you're fined heavily.
Separate mixed use infrastructure. Nothing against bike lanes... but we need to separate cars and non-cars.
We use [injury rate / kms traveled] to obfuscate car injuries
Automotive lobbyists. That's why killing someone drunk driving a car is manslaughter not murder. Scooter lobbying is probably pennies to the dollar of automotive lobbying.
Scooters don't have odometers making data collection difficult. Similar vein, scooter accidents and injuries are less likely to be reported or linked back to scooters than to cars.
Given cars go significantly farther than scooters that likely makes the output number not very useful and possibly harmful from a marketing standpoint. 1/10,0000kms for cars vs 1/100kms for scooters is not appealing.
Scooters are still new. There probably isn't enough data yet. Right now a lot of scooter roll outs are in their pilot phase or recently completed it.
Scooter injuries have significantly more/different factors. I friend of mine needed elbow surgery because he lost balance due to a combination of wind, being tall, catching on a tree branch, losing control, side walk disrepair, and bad luck hitting his elbow on a concrete barrier. And he was sober.
Yea I noticed this as well so I just switched to blocking people instead of responding. Like I'm not here to educate. If someone refutes what I'm saying with substance that's different. But 90% of the responses I get are vapid disagreements with a dash of gish gallop.
Silly take: I don't think anyone deserves the nobel peace prize for anything related to the utter failure, disgrace, and human atrocity that is the western-funded genocide of innocent Palestinians.
I'm sorry but absolutely mother-fuck every country in the world that is complicit in this. Fuck Canada. Fuck the USA. FUCK ISRAEL! Fuck them all.
We don't deserve to award, celebrate, or nominate anything.
Exactly lol. All commonwealths have an upper and lower house just like the USA. I believe their senates are appointed as well, though I have not verified that.
It makes lemmy look like reddit used to back in the day. This is actually a relatively new feature apparently... and clearly not at 100% functionality.
Being doxxed can be easier in a rural town because less people makes it easier to narrow your identity down. Imagine you work at the only starbucks in town and post a photo while at work. Won't take people long to identify the location, and then from there they can dig deeper.
Being hacked has nothing to do with your location/etc. Being hacked is usually because of:
You clicked a dirty link that installed some spyware.
You re-used passwords on multiple accounts. One of the companies you have an account with gets hacked and that data gets sold to other hackers. Those hackers regularly build lists of emails and their accounts so that they can try whatever passwords they find on all of them. Eventually they get lucky.
You used a very weak password that can be "guessed" by hacking programs. A password with only letters and numbers can be figured out by anyone with a laptop in minutes. Add on symbols, upper and lowercase, and increase the password length and it will take years for the computer to crack it.
To avoid getting hacked:
Use password generators like google/lastpass/apple that generate a very strong password and store it for you.
Use 2 factor authentication. Ideally a verification app because phone numbers (when they text you) is some what's more vulnerable to being spoofed.
Have a separate email for non banking such as online shopping or services. Don't give out the email/phone# associated with your main accounts to websites whenever possible.
Google, it always mistakes me as being in the next town over,
That's likely due to your internet service provider. If the device you're using doesn't share it's location than it can only locate your internet service provider. This is a non-factor when it comes to cyber security
Because first past the post electoral systems always result in a 2 party system due to defensive voting.
Because Americans didn't listen to George Washington, when during his farewell address he strongly cautioned against "alternate domination" of a 2 party system.
Because Americans are woefully uneducated, dis-interested, and preoccupied.
