Not at that time. That came after the us government pushed the swedish government to do something and they in turn "strongly hinted" to the swedish judiciary system that they better do something.

And finally the sentencing judge socialised professionally with pro-copyright lobbyists.

Looks like he is starting to follow Elon down into the rabbit hole off asshattery.

I actually thought it would look cool at least since it's wildly different. That's just plain genuinely ugly.

He may be referring to this:

The concerns include the abuse of remote validation of software (where the manufacturer‍—‌and not the user who owns the computer system‍—‌decides what software is allowed to run) and possible ways to follow actions taken by the user being recorded in a database, in a manner that is completely undetectable to the user.

Fuck that shit. We have that in Sweden and it turned a fully functioning train system into a gurgutated mess.

Meanwhile the swedish gpvernment is moving to make sympathy strikes where workers in other companies won't work with tesla (deliver packages and similar) illegal...

Both Koreas agree that there is only one Korea. Everything else is different between the regimes but they agree on that point.

There is also the problem of sites without tracking cookies having banners just to be on the safe side.

So does Volvo and they haven't done much against unions. Chinese companies seem to adapt a bit easier to wherever they do business while American companies seem hellbent waging war against themselves like tesla do now.

Daily. Bought my sennheiser wired noise cancelling headphones in 2017 and they look quite rough now but still sound great and nc is still on par or better than most new headphobes. My brother and sister bought the bluetooth counterpart and both have replaced them years ago since they broke.

Microsoft are integrating adware and spyware straight into the os.

Oh, the EU is still pushing through that anti-encryption shit. It didn't go away.

Indeed. I'll dunk on modern day Elon any day but there is two ways of developing flying stuff.

One is doing it mainly in offices and development rigs spending tons of money on engineers and simulators of various types to get your data needed for FAA approval.

The other way is spending tons of money on engineers and test flights to get your FAA data.

One is not inherently better than the other, or more dangerous for that matter. One just happen to be more to be more spectacular and make better headlines. It's also quite wasteful I guess but the same goes for most of our civilisation...

I ride from -20 to +35C in basically any weather and since jackets and shorts exist that's all that's needed. My friends have their own bikes they can ride...

What? Why? I biked since I was like 5 with my parents to wherever including supermarket. Not sure what you mean honestly.

So your system knows the exact situation and still is slowing down my bike, just at the moment I need to accelerate to avoid being overrun by that large truck heading into me.

This look like a problem with trucks, no? Maybe we should have a system to prevent trucks from running over people.

Indeed. The safest course of action is naturally to put them in concentration camps to avoid that possibility (/s as well).

Not sure about this one example but working in the industry and following the development of wing sails the ones I've seen will fold one way or the other. This example in the article is probably a prototype or even experimental implementation to test the efficency.

Unless you're playing on a screen with near zero latency that seems like a waste tbh.

There is a lot of things in dark woods to be fearful of.
