Comment Re:Gone batshit? (Score 1) 406

It's the same tactic used by presidents with Executive actions that are clearly unconstitutional. Do the clearly unconstitutional thing then force people to challenge it. In some cases you can't ever challenge it because no one has "standing". The Florida POS law would see a lot of people with "Standing" though.

Comment Re:Profit without any responsibility (Score 1) 324

This isn't just about Google, it's about ALL content that ANYONE might post to the ANY website. If someone cuts their leg off after watching a dum guy cutdown a tree. Whose fault is that? After all the algorithm recommended the video to you because you were trying to learn how to properly cut down a tree. If Google looses there will be no more recommendations.

Comment Chairman Bernie (Score 3, Funny) 92

Sen. Bernie Sanders has long made no secret that he thinks drug companies and health insurers are ripping off Americans. But now he's chairman of the Senate health committee.

Asked specifically if that will include calling drug company executives to testify, Sanders said: "We're working on a strategy right now that will be very aggressive."

Sanders has already set the tone for his chairmanship with a Fox News op-ed saying "greedy pharma rips off Americans." In a short video he posted on Twitter, Sanders previewed the committee's agenda, including how it would "take on the greed of the pharmaceutical industry."

Sanders allies say it is little secret that he wants to press pharmaceutical executives. "I think very near the first order of business for Bernie Sanders at HELP is calling these corporations to account," said Alex Lawson, executive director of the progressive group Social Security Works.

Comment Teams sux but WTF EU! (Score 0) 26

Really! A developer integrates their suite of apps to allow all the apps to be functional with each other and the EU has a problem with that! Does M$ offer deals for their integrated shit of products that require major infrastructure buy in? Sure, but why is that a problem. It's all an attempt by 3rd parties to capture a market by regulation. M$ has done it so it's just part of the f-n game. The answer it to build better products not try to get your government to hamstring your opponents. Governments could solve the problem by not buying or requiring the products! that might be a go a long way to fixing the issue. Stop publishing your Gov docs in Word or Adobe only PDF formats!

Comment ... because they don't know how (Score 1) 50

The people that know what the fuck they are doing don't need the assistance so they aren't using the system so they aren't being sampled. Guess I should RTFA but did they control for years of experience? I bet inexperienced developers that don't use the AI assistant write even worse code.

Comment Re:Interesting how little storage is needed (Score 1) 160

The point of the battery storage is to take a highly verbal system in the short term, like wind, and make it more predictable for the short term. Longer term, 8 to 10 day, wind is predictable and used all the time in the maritime world. With battery storage you can better plan for the low wind days and bring up capacity on your nuke plants. The energy grid is a system which seems you have ignored, stabilizing that system is a win and there's noting here to complain about.

Comment U.S. regulatory issues (Score 1) 87

The U.S. Regulatory state may have a problem with this kind of thing. Payed time off would work but then what does a company do with the part timers that are employed at under 36 hours a week. So then why would the company even offer full time employment. Only offer 32 hour work weeks then you would not be required to offer insurance.
I personally think employers should be prohibited from offering insurance in the US. Buying insurance on the open market, divorced from the employer, would make it truly portable.
