What do you think about prpc, which is our version of "gRPC for http/1.1" https://godoc.org/go.chromium.org/luci/grpc/prpc


I hadn't even heard of it until yesterday, to be honest. I know very little about it. It looks like it does a good job addressing the HTTP 1.1 concern, for sure, but I don't know whether it addresses the other issues we've had. I'd have to spend a lot more time reading to understand it.


> you're fooling the vehicle's police detection

Sounds like impersonation to me.

The "person" in impersonation refers to the entity being imitated, not the entity being deceived.


Yeah, but is a couple of infrared lights enough to be considered "police"? What if I yell "VWEEEWOOOWEEEOOO" and someone mistakes that for a legitimate police siren -- am I still impersonating police, or is that person incredibly stupid?


intent matters.

If you say "Here's some infra-red lights. They simulate enough of a police car for other cars to change their behaviours" you're not going to have a fun time in court.


Why does everyone think that the entire law system is like tax code and finance laws? You (usually) can't just break a law because you found a technical loophole.


Yes?
