There should have been more positive visions of the future. These idiot companies took the shit from the 80s as script it seems.

The problem is its not so easy to share spectrum. In reality you can only have a single transmitter/receiver on a given frequency band in a given area.

But the regulatory system has yet to catch up fully with the technology's potential.

#133In the video, the woman’s face is clearly visible and there is no obvious criminal activity taking place. The Facebook post shows her passing between two cars. She pulls the door handle of one of the cars, but it is locked. Yeah that's pretty clearly attempting to steal vehicles / contents of vehicles, that's 100% what that looks like.

For a few years my only vehicle was an old, beat up Volvo station wagon. The door locks were damaged and would only lock ~50% of the time. Since I parked the car on the street I would always check to ensure that the doors were locked by pulling on a door handle. One time I did this as a car passed by and a number of people started yelling out of the car at me accusing me of breaking into my own car and even threateni…

#136If only there were a way for her to not be put in this situation in the first place.
The one on the picture might have, but what about anyone who to overzealous neighbours looks like the person on a rather crappy picture?
What should they do to avoid being accosted on the street, or worse?

The police department stated that she was a suspect; Amazon identified her as a thief, breaking the presumption of innocence that is a bedrock of American society. If the video is fine, the post wording still isn't.
> Amazon identified her as a thief, breaking the presumption of innocence that is a bedrock of American society. I totally agree with that principle, but I think they presumption of innocence ship sailed a long time with modern social media and news cycles.
Not only because under the pressure of competition some company in this sector will attempt to manufacture fear by any means available. If by misdirection, or by direct action of some sort, but we'll all be so much worse for it.

US really need to deregulate (btw I find this word an oxymoron, but english is not my first language) their ISP's and most countries really need to deregulate their wireless providers. Imagine single shared spectrum easy to setup eSIM, easy to terminate contracts. Unfortunately most countries want your ID nowadays when you sign up for internet...
in case your curious, "deregulate" is not really an oxymoron. the "de-" prefix usually means something like "remove" or "undo". it just means to remove or relax some existing rules. don't feel bad though, English vocab can be tricky for native speakers too. for example, "in-" usually means "not", like "indestructible" means "can't be destroyed", but "inflammable" and "flammable" mean the same thing...

Most states do have no trespassing signs on the rights of ways though. Try walking around the nation and see how much police interaction you get :)
> Most states do have no trespassing signs on the rights of ways though. No, no they don't. Private property does; and controlled-access highways do; but definitely not ordinary public highways.

Spread spectrum still has limitations. The more codes you add just brings up the noise floor for everyone else.

The whole idea behind SS and UWB techniques is that the noise floor is under your control, rather than Boltzmann's.
