Just what the TSA line needs, more people to screen.
The move is a start toward reviving a tradition that largely disappeared after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks 25 years ago this week. n.pr/4ijrWhh

In June I captured about 60K messages broadcast from Tire Pressure Monitoring System sensors that were rolling down Magazine street. I stripped away the ones that were obviously mine&my neighbors, the rest seem to be distributed like I'd expect.

It won’t stop at math. Machines getting better at thinking through abstract problems than we are is going to be an emotional crisis for lots of people. I wish we were engaging that directly instead of having ridiculous shadow-debates about GPUs’ inherent thirst for water.
Very worried about this sort of thing hitting more broadly:

I don't understand how EV charging companies took a look at the millions of quick, standardized, and easy to operate gas pumps around the country, and said:
"How can we make this process worse? I know, let's make it only work through a phone app, and require you to have a membership!"
"How can we make this process worse? I know, let's make it only work through a phone app, and require you to have a membership!"
Absolutely! and if by chance you do find a charger, you have to download their app, set up an account, give your credit card information, and hope everything works so you can pay whatever ridiculous price per kWh they decide to charge you. It is frustrating, to say the least!
