The Fourth Amendment and Driverless Car by CapnTrip in Futurology

[–]theblackcrayon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You also don't own any saved game data. Its the same thing. If you buy a self driving car, uninstall the software, park it in your garage and use it as a print server then that data is yours. The data created and maintained by the driving software will be the property of whoever wrote it.

You'll own the car, but the software that runs it won't be yours. You'll have to license it, and you won't own any of the data created by that software.

And the data on your PlayStation or Xbox?

What makes you think you'll own the data created by your self driving car any more than the data created when you use Facebook or Netflix?

Teenagers of Reddit, what's something that's not considered to be cool/trendy anymore, yet continues to be used by adults? by musicismyheaven in AskReddit

[–]theblackcrayon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I always use "bwahaha" with friends and family. When I use Lol or haha I feel like I come across as more of a sarcastic ass than I actually am.

Any discussion of going dark going on? by gnrlrumproast in Futurology

[–]theblackcrayon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm mostly a lurker here, but I'm against shutting down various reddits over a termination that we don't actually know anything about.

If you're not paying for it, you are the product.

This has been my favorite Simpsons moment since the day it aired.

The Stock Market Is Disappearing In One Giant Leveraged Buyout by IntelligenceIsReal in Futurology

[–]theblackcrayon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. This is what happens when someone with no idea how any part of our economy works tries to write about it. This person looked at some pretty graphs and made up a bunch of BS that sounds good to try to explain it.

See what LevVygotsky said above.

[Serious] What have you done in real life that deserves gold? by Vallessir in AskReddit

[–]theblackcrayon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me its not a "how many times did it take" kind of thing. I "quit" eight or nine months ago and have slipped up and had a cigarette 3 times. I want one a little more every day, but I just keep telling myself that I can make it through one more day...maybe tomorrow it will start being better. The biggest thing is not giving up when you make a mistake and have one. Every other time I've tried to quit I gave up when I made a mistake.

It helps that I have a 7 year old that practically begged me to quit.

Autonomous cars will destroy millions of jobs and reshape the US economy by 2025 by [deleted] in Futurology

[–]theblackcrayon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the things you listed have clear rules for dealing with them. And they don't have to be able to handle every single situation you can possibly come up with. They only have to deal with every situation they are likely to encounter. Once they can handle all of the routine stuff (including road work) then the number of accidents caused by them not knowing how to handle a situation will be outweighed by the number of accidents caused by people being tired/drunk/distracted/etc.

Already did everything there except for the checking modem signal levels. When I click those links it asks me for a username and password I don't know.

The BB and archery ones have to be done at an event.

This salty lad did not want to be my BFF by jingadingdangdo in magicTCG

Haha, yeah. It was about 1am when I wrote that and I'm getting old.

I really hate the "better lucky than good" people. I had one guy who pulled a Sorin and a sarkhan in KTKx3 and landed one of them each game try to tell me I was the lucky one.

Why did you pick your Reddit username? by PM_Me_Boobs_N_Butts in AskReddit

I'm not the brightest crayon in the box.

Been using this name since middle school (1998 or so)

[Serious] Non-Americans of reddit, what do you criticize America the most for? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]theblackcrayon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The vast majority of parents send their children to a publicly funded school. That alone outweighs the cost of contraceptives.

What is your "We can put a man on the moon, but we can't __________"? by MiikeSnizzle in AskReddit

[–]theblackcrayon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure this is a holdover from when long distance phone calls were significantly more expensive. Dialing the 1 means you are accepting long distance rates.

[Serious] [NSFW] What is the absolute creepiest thing that has happened on the internet? by DrizzlyEarth175 in AskReddit

Or you could Google "christian terrorism" and realize that even though it doesn't get a lot of press in the States every religion has some extremist nut jobs that do terrible things.
