Some specific legislations then? Would be worth pointing them out. I'm no expert in the topic and I doubt most people here are. Your statement makes you seem against legislating it at all.

So, you think without legislations small businesses could stand their ground?

That's amazing. Is this money protected somehow or are we seeing a bunch of people get scammed?

Remote is something I'd only enable while using it. Once found my ubuntu (I use arch btw) with the setting on for some reason. Might be worth checking even if you never turned it on.

Yep. Taking the piss aside, it was a smart move to co-star with someone so famous.

He was paid in exposure, pride, and accomplishment.

AGI, nanobots, fully autonomous self driving cars, cancer cures and aging cures, significant life extension

I don't know what AGI stands for but as for the others, I'm not sure you have a full grasp.

Self driving cars is a non issue. Cars aren't sustainable, we don't have space for them and let's not even mention pollution (yes, even electric).

Cancer research is a sliding scale. The survival rate for cancer now is much bigger than it was e.g. 50 years ago.

It's highly arguable whether a cure for aging is a good thing. The people most interested in this tend to be rich, selfish folks. Besides, that wouldn't fix things like a fucked joint, which isn't an issue exclusive to old age. This success would open up opportunity for much misery.

Nanobots are robots in the nano scale. We have been making ever smaller robots. I'd argue that this is also a sliding scale, with microbots having loads of applications and so on.

Alistair! I'm not a window cleaner!

I find that unlikely. AI is a subject much like space tech. It may not always be the giant it is now but it's a baseline research countries will be conducting. Even if only as a means to defend themselves.

Russia's special operations are getting out of hand. Now they're launching projectiles against the moon too? Talk about a paranoid nation.

Guess he has read 1984?

Not that it matters since this is such a different scenario.

Spiders work fast. They rebuild webs in a matter of hours. It's not a realistic demand.

Though at the time the amount they wanted was not worth the grief so I just moved on. But minor deposit frauds are extremely common and almost always unpunished. Landlords have essentially nothing to lose by trying it, certainly not morals.
