  • Did you know that Jaywalking is against the law in places?

    Colorado for example

    https://www.jacobyandmeyers.com/blog/fatal-pedestrian-crash-study/

    Colorado has the highest proportion of fatal jaywalking accidents among all pedestrian-related accidents, with 56%. The second highest is Arizona with 45% in addition to ranking second for the highest total count, at 539 fatalities.

    Not only are you committing a crime, but you are potentially traumatizing perfectly peaceful citizens on the roadways when you do it.

    That is a morally bankrupt thing to do.

    YOU'VE NOW BEEN DENATURALIZED AND DEPORTED.

  • I'm actually against a wealth tax, but think one of the only ways that taking their unrealized assets can work is if we do as you suggest.

    If you own stock in something, taxing unrealized gains isn't good. it's not like were going to pay them for unrealized losses.

    But we MUST stop them from being able to actualize those unrealized gains without taxing them like when they use their unrealized assets as collateral. It's like a loophole for the ultra wealthy where they can just borrow against their assets for their entire life without paying taxes on it.

    And really... who cares if this way might be more expensive to do, they're rich as fuck, and can pay for it as part of that tax. Also assets can be very nebulous and hard to know what they actually have. But when you see that new house, new yacht, donation to a SPAC or whatever, the IRS can come knocking and be like how'd you pay for that.

  • I mean the data IS sanitized, but not to the level that would have required certain human things to not happen.

    Part of what's led to its improvement over the years is better going through the data and removing bad things or properly labeling them.

    That left turn that was cut to short makes it into the first set of training as a cursory look at it seemed okay, and then they see that cars are cutting turns to short. So they go through the data again and try to find examples of it and then label them properly so it doesn't think it's okay.

    But that's not a simple process, and then trying to only have certain good behaviors gets really hard because they're actually very uncommon in normal driving because the bad behavior is socially acceptable.

  • Its a cryptographic way of verifying something without having to expose the information it's verifying.

    Lets say you need to prove you're over the age of 18

    You can have a digital ID that has your birthdate on it.

    Through some fancy cryptographic stuff I can't explain, the website could challenge your ID to prove your age, and the ID could return a response that proves you are over 18, but it doesn't need to actually give your name or age in response, and it's response isn't something that can be linked back to your ID.

    Now simply having an ID isn't necessarily enough, kids could just take someones ID, so it might need to have some biometic's added and be a small piece of hardware that has the digital ID, so when the website challenges the ID, you unlock the ID with your fingerprint, and now the website knows the owner of that ID is the user of the ID, and they are 18 or older.

    For this to work though you'd need someone who has authority on your age to implement the digital ID properly, and then write the software that will validate things.

    So you could go to the DMV as an example, they issue you a license while you're there, you authenticate the ID with your finger print (but they DMV doesn't get your fingerprint, it's just stored on the ID) and then the website can challenge the ID and get a response that verifies you're old enough, without verifying who you are, or your age.

    Edit: just to add, and ID like this wouldn't be limited to online. You could go to the liquor store and validate without them having to see your ID which exposes where you live for example.
