    Your explanation is absolutely ludicrous.

    ‘Football’ comes from the English words ‘foot’ and ‘ball’ which mean approximately ‘foot’ and ‘ball’ respectively. So you could translate ‘football’ to something like ‘ball’s foot’, ‘ball of the foot’ or even ‘football’

    ETA: sorry to the above commenter, I didn’t mean to appear aggressive but rhe downvotes seem to agree I have been excessive. Sorry, it was only a shitpost

    Ooooooh it’s you again, you little shit of a pseudo-scientific dog. I swear I will devote all of my energy to your demise, you utter buffoon. Lose the glasses and show us your real face, the face of a complete moron who can’t possibly find the current date on a table calendar. I hate you with a passion, you make a parody of proper scientists. Are you a complete cretin or are you just dishonest? In any case, lose the pretence and find a job that suits you somewhere else, like being dead.


  • For banking, people just don’t want other people to know what they do with their money, and how much money they have. Culturally I think it would be very hard to change. Not talking about dildos and such, but what you buy is really a window into your private life. When you start having children for instance, privacy becomes very important.

    Thanks for the answers, it’s an interesting perspective even if I strongly disagree. I wish people wouldn’t downvote without giving their opinion.


  • I appreciate and respect your honesty regarding your real name, but given the world we live in, I would still recommend you hide it here. I still stand corrected.

    I really don’t see how authoritarian regimes would be affected negatively (for them) by transparency?

    Regarding Wikipedia, I think a lot of contributors would hesitate to give their real name. If it was the norm, maybe the usages would be different, but I think I wouldn’t have personally contributed if I knew that people I know could find my works there. And I haven’t even done anything weird.

    For banking, secrecy is a cornerstone of the system, even IRL. What the banks manage to do IRL would still need to be done on the Internet. Public transactions IRL is unthinkable and it would be online

    You’re using an alias, so your first sentence is already a lie.

    But it doesn’t matter. Complete transparency would be a death sentence for all political opponents under authoritarian regimes. It would be a huge risk for them elsewhere.

    It would allow companies that control the Web infrastructures and its software to have even more power over the Internet users.

    It would make many technologies completely useless or unusable: online banking, electronic votes… Wikipedia would be dead, that would be a major setback




  • I used to be on the engineering team that worked on the development of a similar camera. For what it’s worth, at the time: there was no AI involved, we only used good old image processing algorithms. And the camera (all cameras, lidars, or radars on the car BTW) does not record anything. It treats images as they come. There’s almost no storage space on the car for all the image data generated.

    All this might have changed since then (especially the AI part) but I’m still relatively confident that car systems don’t have the storage for all this data.

    Additionally, since this is a European brand, I think it would be quite difficult to legally retain personal information like that. It was already difficult during the development phase.

    I’m not saying they wouldn’t be above ominous shenanigans, but it would be difficult.
