I doubt that for the hackernews audience that the age of the browsers is an issue. I would say in practice that 90% is nowhere near what is achieved - that it's closer to 90% and amongst the hackernews audience probably lucky if it gets to 50% because of our use of anti-tracking and ad blockers.
Exactly. You shouldn't be touching screens with your hands while you drive. That's illegal where I live. But my dash mounted phone has Siri and Bluetooth so I can be hands-free for commands and I can use the steering wheel controls for media.
I just dont buy the argument that it would be that expensive for the governments to provide certified keychain fobs that provide hardware based identification.
That would indeed solve many problems. It would also focus legislative minds now and in the future. Not sure it would be beneficial for the judicial branch.
Also beneficial perhaps would be to have it be necessary that the law spells out the technical implementation. Sort of like patents do.
There is no moat until a company achieves RSI and/or AGI, and the one that does succeed in moat-making will do so by hacking into and destroying their competitor's infrastructure.
Once moat is achieved, you don't have to compete on price. Of course it'll be academic because the AI will probably destroy all of us.
Maybe for the next few years you'll be able to do that. Analogy: back in the day you could just build your own airplane and fly it around. There were no regulations.
