If loading the Warner Bros home page isn't allowed, Chrome might be on the chopping block next. I hope the Google Chrome team has some internal contacts at Google to prevent Chrome from being removed from the play store due to DMCA abuse.

> it still constitutes a violation of "muh freedom/convenience", no?
Yes, but "muh freedom" doesn't apply when you're on public roads with other people. My problem isn't with the law, but with co-opting a device that I paid for to work against my own interests.
Would you be okay with a similar system for seatbelt laws, where if you or your passenger or your child takes off the seatbelt while in motion, your car pulls over to the side of the road and holds you hostage for hours while you wait for someone to come write you a ticket?
> If they could get the inconvenience/false positive rate to 0%...
Simply isn't possible. And even if it was, there are edge cases where it should be allowed, such as:
- wife needs medical attention, and you've had a glass of wine
- wildfires, which can spread surprisingly quickly
- I want to drive on my own property where DUI laws don't apply
Don't kill my wife or make me burn alive in a wildfire because of other random people's mistakes.
> Who said anything about police?
You suggested someone comes and writes you a ticket before freeing you from your car. Who else writes tickets other than cops?
> Many would answer as high as 95%, but the correct probability is about 2%.
Your system would be orders of magnitude less effective than you are imagining. It's a common enough mistake that it has its own example on that wikipedia page.
You really want to mandate a system where something like 98% of the calls to police would be false positives? Who will pay for all these extra officers who do nothing but drive around the city freeing innocent, sober people from their cars all day?
The seat belt situation is fine, because:
1. Your car doesn't refuse to drive if you don't wear one (such as on private property where it's legal to drive, drunk, with no seatbelt, if you choose)
2. Your car won't hold you hostage for hours if some AI algorithm makes a mistake. The seatbeat detector is 100% accurate under normal conditions and if it fails, the worst thing that can happen is your car will beep at you.
> maybe it should pull over, lock, and contact assistance to the extent the law allows for you to be pulled aside and deal with a simple ticket/instant fine, no need for due process (instant feedback + administrative approach to offences).
My own property should hold me hostage on the side of some random street if a pothole causes a false positive for drunk driving in some inscrutable algorithm? Not in a million years. Don't punish me for other people's failings.

In case (2) you are the offender. In your sober state, you're expected to know your limits. While sober, you had a chance not to take the action (i.e. taking the first drink) that eventually resulted in you losing your faculties and hurting innocent people, yet you did anyway. That makes you responsible.

By posting this additional comment you just made it sink even lower, good job!

> PWRs constitute the large majority of the world's nuclear power plants (with notable exceptions being the UK, Japan and Canada). In a PWR, the primary coolant (water) is pumped under high pressure to the reactor core where it is heated by the energy released by the fission of atoms.
When people say "fission reactor" do they mean something else?
If you want to build the allowlist yourself, doesn't firejail already do what you want?
That doesn't tell you whether it was the numerator or the denominator that changed.
I could borrow $10 from Jim, and $20 from Sue, and deposit them both into the same Chase account which now has $30. As long as the balance stays above $30, everything is fine.

If there's any crypto company out there that "gets it" and is doing things right, it's them. The SEC is going after the big one this time. I can't wait to see how it shakes out.

It's true that Venmo/etc is cheaper at $0, but remember you're paying with your data instead. Having the choice of which way to pay is welcome imo
But all things considered that's pretty minor
Should we have given up on the internet by 1981 then?
Sometimes new technology takes a few (human) generations to take off. I know everyone wants instant gratification these days, but try to be patient.
If you received coins from multiple transactions, those coins are not equal and retain their individual histories. To spend from an address with multiple UTXOs, you (or your wallet software) must choose which specific coins to send using coin control.
