I feel like if that happened every criminal would just drive fast and recklessly as a get out of jail free card. Maybe if they charged people who did that with attempted manslaughter for every person on the same road at the time. Ideally it'd be nice to see something like a pursuit drone so the actual cruisers can back off and the drone can detonate track the perp's car. Then you don't have the police adding to the danger of the situation, and you can still catch the guy.

High speed chases have to stop because they kill innocent people and damage property. New technology is being developed and tested like this gps tracker that is shot at a perps vehicle and the other tech that you mentioned.

Without total government control and oversight it's never going to happen, so it's pointless to speculate otherwise. Virtual currency will remain ever the currency of criminals and such...after cash itself.

It's awesome and fast but isn't this Ti several months late when compared to last Ti releases? Isn't nVidia releasing Volta this fall? That was the rumor when the 1080/70's came out was that late '17 we'd see the next gen with a smaller nanometer process.

There was a rumor a while back that nVidia would possibly expedite Volta to counter AMD's DirectX 12 advantage but I don't think there was much to it. Volta was originally always going to be a 2018 release and that is when I would still expect it now.
AMD Vega is way late and no one is really talking much about DX12 anymore. That hypetrain has left the station for now. nVidia has also done their homework and improved their DX12 performance in the latest driver releases.

Volta was originally still going to be a 16nm FinFET part by the way unless the rumors are true that there will be an intermediate 12nm high powered stepping at TSMC but so far they have only confirmed mobile parts on that node AFAIK so we'll have to wait and see about that.

TSMC 10nm for high powered parts like graphics cards most likely won't be ready for mass production next year so Volta has to be either 16nm or 12nm if TSMC is willing and able to offer a high powered process of the latter, too.

What might happen according to some rumors is that Volta might indeed ship as a 12nm part this year in the professional segment (automotive, HPC etc.) just like nVidia did it with Pascal when they launched the P100 with HBM2 a few months before the consumer GP104/GP102 last year.
So, yes, Volta might happen this year but probably not in the consumer space. Consumer cards to follow Q1/Q2 2018.

Even spy agencies like the CIA have a responsibility to protect the security and privacy of Americans.

Shouldn't internet service be considered a utility by now? If it was, not sure if that would raise or lower prices overall.

Just to reiterate, you can install this and uncheck the GeForce experience item.

Yeah, I saw nothing in that article pointing to his qualifications or lack there of. If anything the website in question is just generic template from your typical low-end website reseller and has nothing to do with him aside from offering basic contact info.
