What you said was dumb because what we need is to reduce emissions further than our weak targets. Also automakers do NOT have any trouble meeting the targets. They could have met those targets years ago, but they would have had to make less exciting vehicles. You're putting your excitement over sustainability. This explains why you support a child molester's tampering with the future.
You cannot make a market freer by removing all regulations. That's a total misunderstanding of how markets work.
"R&D is a sunk cost, especially if it was subsidized. Nobody's going to try to recoup it"

The proper approach would be to allow customers to try the AI tools for free and give honest feedback
(etc.)
That's all true if your goal is to serve customers, as opposed to spying on them.
I'm not sure there is any amount of money that I'd accept to engineer a product that involved looking at thousands of photos of unflushed toilets.
But I'd really love to know how exactly how many of these things were sold? A dozen? 500? Thousands? Feels like there is an econ or finance study about consumer behavior buried in the customer base of such an item.
Mainly just folks with disposable incomes who like tech? Someone with cancer risk really convinced this will work? The most expensive Spencers gag gift? "I could look it up myself but I don't want to have to look at my own poop?"
This "researcher" doesn't seem to know what end-to-end encryption is, or why what the manufacturer says is true. Their blog says that "[t]he term is generally used for applications that allow some kind of communication between users", but that's not true. The most common type of end-to-end encryption is HTTPS, typically between the user and a web server.
Also, they offer an AI powered service to analyse your output, and state that they use the data for further training. That is well within both expectations of what an AI powered service will be doing, and what their privacy policy says they will do.
I dislike how privacy is treated as a premium product, and how many companies feel entitled to our data, this case is nothing special at all.
The idea that humans in 2100 will politely sit on their hands while the planet burns is genuinely adorable.
It's happening now. There are serious effects now. And there is mostly a lot of thumb-sitting going on.
Humans invent things.
Yes, for profit.
AI is already chewing through research faster than half the committees publishing these forecasts.
AI is chewing through NATURAL RESOURCES faster.
Pretending society wonâ(TM)t respond, wonâ(TM)t adapt and wonâ(TM)t innovate is probably the most unrealistic assumption in the whole exercise.
We don't have to pretend, we can see it happening right now. Or rather, not happening.
For example if you need to get call records months after the fact, with prepaid, tough shit, they don't have them at all.
Nonsense.
Want HD calling? Prepaid got it years after postpaid.
Why would I care? I don't speak a language for which call quality matters.
Paying three times as much or more for someone else to keep records for you is dumb. My phone keeps records for me.
We've seen even Microsoft's own ARM laptops chug trying to emulate x86 software
Using the word "even" here implies that we would expect Microsoft to be competent, but no one with experience with Microsoft expects that.
They are probably hoping that developers start releasing ARM native versions once Steam Machine sales start to take off. This will be aimed at older games where the developer is unlikely to go back and rebuild for ARM, and performance isn't too critical.
Better headlines:
"Your next car just got shittier"
"White House vows to win war on your lungs"
Was he just being a rocket geek? I'm assuming he wasn't just photographing the engines, but there's not a lot of detail here.
If I was in close proximity to a space rocket, I'd probably want to shoot pictures like crazy.
Someone start up the irony bilge pump! We're being flooded with irony!
So your solution is to stamp your feet and expect the authors of every single game, ever, to go through the job of porting to the moving target of ARM platforms, so that you can juice out on that additional 2 frames per second?
How about companies that aren't even around any more? You gonna pay someone to do that, after wrangling up the rights?
Or, how about you just be happy that other people are solving the problem in the only way it can be possibly solved, and they're giving you more software availability than you had yesterday for no cost.
Good fucking lord you're an entitled asshole.
