the matrix was a really good idea for a movie and the movie itself was very well executed but the concept only ever had legs for one movie imo

reality...was a ROBOT....with a HOOK

matrix 1 is great
matrix 2 is like they filmed a bunch of insufferably pretentious college freshmen talking about the original and edited it into movie
matrix 3 is an hour long mech fight intermixed with an hour of people arguing about how to have the mech fight

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-07-11/mercedes-thieves-showed-just-how-vulnerable-car-sharing-can-be

quote:

The Mercedes plot owed to one strategy Car2Go�s management implemented to draw in new members: making it easier to sign up. For the past several years, Car2Go has subjected all its users to background checks conducted manually by humans. They take a day or two to complete, a lag that seemed onerous to customers used to the immediate gratification that other mobility services offer. �You see Uber or Lyft, or Airbnb, or all the scooters�they all have instant verification,� Kelton says.

The executive team in Europe, where rates of fraud are much lower, was eager to lower barriers to entry. So in April, Car2Go stopped conducting the manual background checks. The company says that on April 13 about 20 people who went on to orchestrate the Mercedes thefts set up some 80 phony accounts in Chicago, using fake or stolen credit cards as their payment methods. It�s unclear whether the timing was a direct response to Car2Go�s policy change or just an illustration of how often its systems were being probed for weaknesses.

There was little indication that the people who took the cars had more than joyriding in mind. According to police reports, all the pilfered cars had functioning GPS trackers and license plates that started with the letters AX, and many still had visible Car2Go stickers on them, so officers patrolling the area had little trouble spotting them. On a single day they arrested almost two dozen joyriders. Many of those protested that they had innocently rented the vehicles from people in the neighborhood without realizing anything was amiss, according to police records.

LAKELAND, Fla. � A local woman is blaming the state government for an onslaught of robocalls and direct mail offers � accusations that come as the I-Team uncovered the DMV makes millions by selling Florida drivers personal information to outside companies, including marketing firms.

I-Team Investigator Adam Walser obtained records showing the state sold information on Florida drivers and ID cardholders to more than 30 private companies, including marketing firms, bill collectors, insurance companies and data brokers in the business of reselling information.

The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles raked in more than $77 million for driver and ID cardholder information sales in fiscal 2017.

The I-Team wanted to know how much of that money came from marketing firms, but the agency in charge of driver information estimated it would take 154 hours of research and cost nearly $3,000 for the state to give taxpayers an answer.
