  • Also, most all US small to mid sized business transactions are by check.

    I'm not going to take a suitcase with over $10,000 to the city to pay a permit fee, or $50,000 Venmo to pay a business partner.

    Unless you are in the marijuana industry, then you have to...

  • Man, I would never pay rent or a mortgage payment with a deposit. I did that once, and they claimed I didn't pay several times, and I had no receipt. I had to pay my bank $20 to provide proof of deposit (several times) Fuck that. Also fuck US Bank.

  • Yes, my wife and my employers both pay using checks as well as printed invoices after direct deposits.

    My entire family uses checks to pay each other. I'm not going to Venmo my dad $15,000. And his back doesn't let me transfer funds to him for since idiotic reason.

  • He must have been homeless his entire adult life.

    I'm mid 40s and didn't get a credit card until I was 25. And I couldn't even pay for any utilities, rent or car payments with it. And still can't. Online bill pay wasn't a thing until like after the recession.

  • A couple of my criticisms with the article, which is about "autopilot" and not fsd:

    -conflating autopilot and dad numbers, they are not interoperable systems. They are separate code bases with different functionality.

    -the definition of "autopilot" seems to have been lifted from the aviation industry. The term is used to describe a system that controls the vector of a vehicle, is the speed and direction. That's all. This does seem like a correct description for what the autopilot system does. While "FSD" does seem like it does not live up to expectations, not being a true level 5 driving system.

    Merriam Webster defines autopilot thusly:

    "A device for automatically steering ships, aircraft, and spacecraft also : the automatic control provided by such a device"

    Civilian infrastructure can in fact a valid target if it assist the military. Electricity generation is used to maintain many military systems, including telecommunications, logistics, lighting, radar systems, and all sorts of manufacturing capability that assists the military.
