The technology will never be ready

I think you are right, I hope they don't push it in a half assed state.
Achieving the accuracy is not the major problem here, but keeping it accurate. You have to make it robust enough so it doesn't fail at random (sensors in general are a bitch in this regard) and it has to hold a perfect calibration for long enough (a assume chemical detection sensor, which again, are a super-bitch regarding calibrations), while also making it at least a bit hard to bypass. The other problem is the privacy nightmare this can be, analyzing fluids or cameras pointing to your face... are they gonna sell this data to insurance companies (just as an example, it could be other companies, your employer..)? Of course they are!
The only thing I would expect from this is a lot of people pissed or worst because of malfunctions while all the drunktards stay on the road by simply filling a ballon before they start drinking.

Aaaand of course this is been pushed by some Puritan-Americans lol

That's_ not the cause though, most if not all languages have been influenced by many others. And pronunciation, meaning of words etc drift over time in all of them as well.
Most countries have gone through the process of revising their orthography, changing spelling or even adopting different alphabets to have kind of consistent writing systems for their languages.
None of this has been done in the English language, it uses the most basic Latin alphabet which was made for a very different language (when even many Romance languages directly descending from Latin have adapted it with new letters or diacritics), for example English has a lot of vowel sounds that Latin hadn't and it even went through something called 'the great vowel shift' when changes in some vowel sounds got them closer to others that were 'pushed', these pushed others causing a sort of shuffling in the (finite) vowel space, but spelling didn't reflect most of this.
In fact I think that in some cases the spelling took the more ancient version that matched the pronunciation even less like 'plumb' (don't quote me on this, its from the top of my head)

That's why I click on 'Things everybody get wrong about black holes' after it, mostly right but the guy's voice is annoying as fuck and the video lasts 20 min when it's 3 minutes actual content and the rest filling and ads. Damned youtube

Nope, if we are talking about the actual speed of the signal optical fiber is relatively slow at ~1/3 c, compared to air or copper where it's almost c. They're using 'speed' meaning bandwidth. A van full of sd cards would have a massive bandwidth, but a very slow actual speed

The CC company knows exactly what you bought

No they don't. They know when, where, to whom, and how much you paid tho

He's an idiot. He was screen sharing during a joint project with his former employer (Valeo) and had the stolen code behind the powerpoint, that was then minimized or closed, it even was in a dir called 'valeoCode' or something like that

Yeah for $100 an hour many people would give a fuck about you

That's a Kbin thing, you'll get used to it. Also images in comments like the one you posted doesn't federate with some (I think, maybe they don't federate at all) lemmy servers, so maybe they can't see it either

Don't worry, it's a Kbin thing. It doesn't format correctly some fancy texts from Lemmy and we see a text box with the html tags and all. It should be ok on lemmy

Maybe he jumped into the water? Dunno, 30 feet is a high fall
