I’m not claiming that there’s malicious activity on the part of the site. I just wonder if there is something anomalous about how it plays audio.
Roads are not generating direct revenue, which is how you determine profit. There's no model where roads are profitable.
Additionally, we've been moving goods and services by rail for approximately two centuries in the United States - long before a car was on a road. Roads are not a requirement to move goods around.
"See, we built, announced and marketed an entire piece of software from our CLI prompt!"
Good gravy.
It should be fine to push software updates out, as long as the correct safety and fallback procedures are in place. It simply has to be designed to handle failure and procedures need to be in place to mitigate risks.
It sounds like that wasn't the case here. Also, why wouldn't you have a small initial release pool when you have such a large potential for disruption?
Image being able to don AR glasses and to be present for the moon landing or experience the assembly of the Eiffel tower from a position at its base.
Entertainment is one thing, but capturing critical events in full dimension would be world changing.
I don't think that the boat experiment is a good analogue, though, as it seems the engine would be pushing with more force in the backward direction than could be harnessed in the forward direction.
It still seems like there could be a possible way to re-collect the water for further use as propellant in a vacuum once you have harnessed the energy from it's combustion. Essentially using solar to propel your craft and then reclaiming the raw propellant (water) so that it can be separated again.
When the Oxygen and Hydrogen are burned from this engine, they should recombine into water.
If we fired an engine like this in space toward a "sail", would it be possible to produce a craft long enough and with a system attached to the aft that could re-collect the water for reuse?
Possibly by having stiff wires that use the surface tension of the water to stickily grab on as the craft moves forward?

"Horse-with-a-C" is a longer password, but could possibly be hit using an algorithm that expects "with-a-[letter]" to be generated as part of a password.
The randomized misspelling of a word-or-two was intended to break a dictionary attack.
Such as the Generate Password would be listed as:
> Correct Horce Battery Staple
> "Correct Horse-with-a-C Battery Staple"
Two birds and a single stone, as they say.
