  Other than the takeoff and landing, cars have to deal with those obstacles as well.

  A computer running a citywide automated traffic system for cars would have all the same complexity, without the ability to separate traffic in three dimensions.

  There are a whole lot less obstacles and unknowns in the air, as well as more planes (ha!) of separation available than a car.

  When flying, you don’t really need to worry much about random pedestrians, for example.

  If the entire system were completely automated, from the car all the way to ATC, and it’s essentially a taxi that you just tell what location to go to and it handles the rest… well that’s basically air traffic today minus the automated ATC part. (That isn’t to diminish pilots at all; just that I think it’d be a lot easier, in general, to replace a pilot than a taxi driver with automation. )

  Thanks, Duderino!

  I’m not afraid of you; I value my privacy. There’s a difference.

  Why aren’t you practicing what you preach and post under your real name? Are you a scaredy cat?

  But her emails! Fucking pathetic.

  Why are we so willing to cut loose Ukraine yet arm Israel to the teeth? Anyone?

  The grift is alive and well.

  It’s so nice he did that. Everywhere I turn there is all this stuff that’s not in English that hindered my ability to participate fully in society.

  I was going to say SNES Mario Kart, but really I think it’s GC Mario Kart: Double Dash.

  I think you only need the controller or phone app for setup or config changes. Though it is easier, in my opinion, to just run a controller. You can (at least last time I checked) still self host one if you like. If you’re just doing network config and monitoring, you don’t need much in terms of performance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it time to ring the alarm on internet door cameras?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep. This is the way. G4 Pro is pretty good, too.

  Yes, the Nazi has nothing better to do than play video games. I fucking wish that was all that asshole was enthralled by.

  Not even close. It’s better than launch, but not by much. Still some infuriating workflows.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Will pilots-less airplanes happens first, or driver-less cars? Why?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Airplanes, though I suspect they will never be truly without someone to assist in case of emergency.

  Cars have to contend with a number of random obstacles and unique challenges. Planes have defined runways and taxiways and, via autopilot and GPS, their flight paths are relatively easily defined and controlled.

  The sky over one city is pretty much like any other. Main Street not so much.

  Honestly a decent 1080p presentation is still more than adequate for the vast majority of content consumed at most homes. Otherwise completely agree.
