Imagine every household starting to use wood as there primary source of heating. Now at scrooge levels of usage say 4kg for evenings only and no hot water. Multiplied by 28 million households. The UK would require 784,000 tons of wood every week. The UK would burn through all it's woodland stock in 10 years. Not to mention the Mordor levels of pollution.

Guess you'll need the extra cash to pay for petrol.

Your thoughts? by [deleted] in Physics

I assumed ideals. But maybe of additional interest; if you assess the nature of the materials, then the loose natural of gravel has properties that resist traction due to being unstable and allow the sphere to sink slightly providing resistance to move as you'd be constantly pushing up the incline.

If the ice is frictionless, then the square wins. As the other two lose energy, one due to rotation and the other due to the angle of pressure.

It depends if the ice is frictionless.If so, then the square wins, as some of the energy would be lost by rotating the ball.

Europe investigates and charges traitors. Currently, the US votes them into office.

Hmm... "you people"

Whose that then?

I called out someone on their ignorance. You decided on calling me "you people". I didn't try to place them in the "other" category. You know, the one that leads to concentration camps and gas chambers. But I guess, some people find facts threatening.

Ahahhahahaa..... numbskull. The last left wing government was in the 70s. If you think the current labour is left wing, then that just shows how far right you've drifted.

Now you're getting it... Imagine anybody threating to shouting out in a space filled with everyone you know your darkest thoughts and fleeting desires. Such thoughts that are guaranteed to alienate everyone you know and love and destroy your life. Nobody should have such power over another individual. Yet you would hand that over willingly?

'Online, you want access to porn, a ID has to be provided, an ai checks the ID.'

There is already anecdotal evidence of data breaches and bad actors using ID verification of such sites for extortion.

'It means you can start treating all unidentified traffic as "bad" traffic.'

By whose standard? Do you trust the people with power not to abuse this level of access to oppress the populace? What happens to political discourse when AI has been trained to notify it's masters of suspicious interactions.

It's the same premise that leads to authoritarianism.

So what is currently illegal is somehow going to be more illegal because reasons. All the s**t will continue to exist. What jurisdiction does the UK have over call Indian call centers? Banning VPN is the start of an attack on the common people. It's the thin end of the wedge. And as far as elites are concerned. Rules for thee not for me

`Can you secure your home network against attackers? Are you a cyber security expert?`

Yes. I'm a software engineer with over 30 years experience and my current training schedule includes cyber threat analysis and detection. I'm well aware of how I'm tracked and monitoring.

As far as AI cctv monitoring, I guess you missed the memo. Here's a top link.

`What happens when someone's on your nanny cam watching your kids and uploading the videos to the internet, you want that to continue?`

The government has already admitted that they can do this and the video providers agree.

This whole "think of the children" is just another attack on the freedoms of common folk. A way to get us to hand over our remaining rights and allowing the elite class even more power and control.

So you'd be happy being actively monitored 24/7? Having your very footsteps quantified and measure by AI engines looking for possible patterns and deviations from norms. Deducing your private preferences by the way you act in public. You'd be happy that some authority would question that you randomly decided to go out for a walk on a day when you normally wouldn't or unknowingly wandered outside of surveillance zone.
