They were just bringing levity to an otherwise depressing topic.
What a fascinating video. What a treat to hear him talk. Much of my excitement has been dying off due to the commercialization of the hacker community, the culture war, and the constant legislative losses for privacy…
Do you have a specific example on the wiki you can cite for your grievance?
So long as it wasn't something that changed due to a firmware update after purchase, sure. One of the most common grievances on ConsumerRightsWiki is when the terms of the sale seem to change after you've already…
Because if you want to convince someone away from believing it's an addiction so severe it needs an act of government to address, presenting an argument that all-but-panders to their "people spend so much time on it…
"You can stop smoking at any time" "You can stop gambling at any time" As much as I may agree with you, you need a different argument.
"Too good of a product" is an odd way to put it when you could apply the same logic to slot machines.
Seems a bit premature to attribute that solely (or even primarily) to Flock. It also begs the question of if there is a deterrent effect from cameras to commit homicide, couldn't that deterrent be achieved with a far…
Hard disagree. Checking the accelerometer to disable tactile functionality when moving would have been a more intelligent way to go about discouraging this behavior over mandating use of a historically unpopular…
Nice strawman you're attacking. Kinda weird that you're arguing with yourself at this point.
Newer websites are filtered through what is acceptable from a corporate lens. The old web culture can't exist because advertisers won't let it exist on modern platforms. Additionally the spread of information is…
I noticed that website doesn't show the absolute numbers involved in search engine use. And you ignored the part where I said "they use the default".
That's for multiple reasons - many of them directly being Google's fault with intentional choices made towards this end.
Bing because it's the default on their web browsers they've used in college and work. But moreso - whatever the default is what they use. They have zero attachment to Google.
Do you think there's a realistic future where the money paid for EA could possibly be recouped with product placement?
Once upon a time it would've been unthinkable for Google search to become awful and nearly worthless due, in large part, by Google's discretionary choices. Related - interns these days don't seem to have any particular…
Cultural influence though? Are you going to have MAGA Madden? The Socialist League?
What a waste of Saudi money.
Who exactly will be cleaning and sanitizing these self-driving cars that are getting this 50%-or-greater utilization?
ETA until a drone pepper sprays an innocent student or teacher?
What of most of the rest of the US economy thats keeps trying to shoehorn AI into their workflows and, more importantly, whose stock prices are buoyed by the prospect of theoretical AI-related productivity gains?
It is unlikely that a 50% drop in NVidia wouldn't be paired with a significant drop in the valuation of every other company heavily invested in AI.
Except AI has an unacceptably high rate of hallucinations that will result in adverse health outcomes if not outright death.
> I should have clarify, I'm part of a local group, itself part of a network of groups. Which is great! Though my understanding is a big weakness of the ACLU/EFF/etc... crowd is that they typically pigeonhole…
And what sort of regulations did you have in mind that don't primarily punish the users?
