Comment not burdensome pay your tax (Score 0, Flamebait) 143

NO - "The tax targeted revenue generated from Canadian users rather than corporate profits, making it particularly burdensome for technology companies"

if you dont have a ledger of Candaian users your pretty much a fail as a company oh wait the americans dont like to pay ANY tax so will lie cheat do whatever it takes..

they are literally taking the republicans for a ride... not that any of them will refuse a ride...

Comment all through the store but you pay tax's ? (Score 1, Insightful) 84

ok how about you stop optimizing your tax

keep your monopoly but you pay Tax and no more charging Apple AU variable rates to use your "brand" to avoid tax's etc

and you actually host rather than cache things in australia rather than sending all the locations and imessages of politicians and ADF to the USA

much love

Comment details matter (Score 2) 14

there is no details

just an announcement that they will be claiming against the insurance and that they could claim £100mn (pounds not dollars) means they did not have much insurance...

frankly americans routinely leak customer names, dates of birth, home and email addresses and phone numbers

whats actually worrying is household information, and online order histories

thats going to be hard to clean up and expose a LOT of people

Comment Why on Earth would you EVER announce it? (Score 1) 49

If/when true AGI is achieved, only a fool would announce it. What would announcing it do for you? Make you famous? Rich? Cool. Know what's better than all that?

Not telling a damn soul and using the AGI quietly to do whatever the Hell you want. If you want to be rich, the AGI will tell you how to become rich. If you want to be famous, the AGI will tell you how to become famous. You can do both. And you don't have to stop there. A real, vastly superior AGI enables the person controlling it to do anything. The second you tell people about it, you'll lose control over it and then you're the famous idiot who did a cool thing one time. Kids in elementary school will recite your name back on a test. And you could have had everything.

Anyone smart enough to crack AGI can't also be stupid enough to advertise when they do it.

Comment about that standard support... OpenTherm (Score 1, Informative) 39

their explanation was that support in EU was hard

translation : europe has a standard (opentherm) and the market for controlling old not standard is large but complicated and those with the standard do not want nest, the support costs in europe are large compared to USA so lets just abandon it

so now its up to european manufacturers to support opentherm and matter standards

what is really pathetic is they claimed support for opentherm but only in europe so americans are still in a simple ecosystem and nest can dominate with their "smart"
