The problem with that is that if the machines don't talk to one another then there's no way to make that system work across machines. I guess if each machine enforced it then you would eventually run out of machines that work for your hacked card.
Uh, copyright always works that way. You're not supposed to make copies of movies most of the time, but people do, and it is virtually unenforceable as long as they take basic precautions. One of the only times it is reliably enforceable is when a business tries to make money off of your work and you can sue them.
Copyright is more than that, like who is allowed to make commercial use of a given work. Just because something is written down in a public forum doesn't give everyone free rein to do whatever they want with it under copyright.
Yeah, but you'd need the algorithm. It could be a hash of some kind, and if you don't know what kind of algorithm they're using you can't replicate it.
EDIT: Oh, I see what you're saying. You mean you could simply rewrite the original card value back over it forever. That's actually quite clever, and it would work even in case the card was completely encrypted.
Actually that means this is trivial to beat I think.
You don't have to admit to anything, but you just did.
Bitch all you want about how Tesla misleads or mismarkets their products (they do, anyone with two brain cells knows that)
See? That's what I would call an "admission".
but if you’s gonna use that as an excuse to trust a car to drive 100% independently and flawlessly because they said so… it’s totally on you. Or your corpse.
I... don't? I already said that if you'd been paying attention. It also does not release Tesla and Musk from culpability for lying to people about their product, many of whom went on to become corpses as a result of their negligent and malicious lies, many of them well before Tesla and Musk lost their credibility. I would also say that if your business model relies on selling dangerous bullshit to gormless rubes, then if those gormless rubes get killed by your dangerous bullshit, then you are culpable for that dangerous bullshit by virtue of targetting the gormless rubes.
EDIT: Let's not forget the bystanders who were killed by the dangerous bullshit along with the gormless rubes. People's actions affect more than themselves. This is part of living in a society, which should actually protect its members and not leave them to the machinations of the worst psychopaths. You know, if it's going to be a society worth living in.
Scammers target the mentally infirm by deliberately making their communications extremely unprofessional and laden with grammatical errors, that doesn't mean we blame those people for being scammed.
Also if you have to invent an imaginary version of the other person - someone who drives a Tesla and believes it is actually fully self driving in this case - in order to make your point, then it's probably not a very good point.
"Hey, every psychopathic corporate entity that functionally runs our society lies to us all the time," is not a great sales pitch for why this psychopathic corporation should get a pass for its specific lies.
This is the depth capitalism apologists will stoop to with absolutely no self awareness.
The US nuking international law to protect a handful of criminals has been a matter of explicit policy since the Hague Invasion Act of 2002.
Yes, warcrime enthusiasts, I know it has a PR-friendly name that you would rather I use, but I'm not going to do your whitewashing for you. Cry about it.
Musk was involved in marketing and lying about it, though, and his extremely prolific public image is what gave it so much credibility. He's lost a lot of that credibility now though, largely because people have spent a lot of time criticizing him. If you want him to disappear from the public eye that's great, so do I, but he's one of the most powerful men in the world, so that's not going to happen.
I don’t give a shit whether their marketing is a lie.
I mean clearly. "Full self-driving" is marketing, and it is a lie. That's the point being made here. You don't have to care about it, but that doesn't mean it's not a lie.
I'm not not blaming the drivers. They were foolish enough to buy a Tesla and trust it with their lives for a start. But I am also blaming the marketing. Two things can be true.
I notice you danced around the question of whether it was a lie to focus on bullshit legal stuff, which isn't the arbiter of truth and reality. As I once heard a judge say, "You don't come here for justice, you come here for a judgment."
You're right that it's just a name, which means it's within Tesla's power to not call it "full self driving". Like maybe keep the word "full" for when it's better than "full self driving brackets not really".
The reason it's called that is so when you're buying the car, you can read "full self driving", the salesman can call it "full self driving", and then you can get excited and think you're getting full self driving and pay stupid amounts of money for an iPhone on wheels.
It's also so Musk can get up on stage and lie for years about how you'll be able to go coast to coast while you sleep by the end of the year or whatever it is. Having a bunch of warnings in the software setup is not enough for someone gargling Musk's jizz to cough it up and see it for the bullshit that it is.
You can give us all this extra info but you can't change the core reality that the name is a lie.
