have never been with the driver. Cleanliness is usually the the big issue and all the GPUs and sensors in the world won't fix this.
Gen Narcissism should get used to the fact that the Surveillance State bringing the ride itself, is always watching.
You know that whole 5-star rating system society loves to abuse? Goes both ways.
Best not act like a disrespectful cunt in a NotYourCar. You'll find your microchip getting shut off.
Yes, nuclear fission plants generate waste which have to be stored, and no realistic technology can make it disappear. Wings from old wind turbines are also waste, but it is realistic to do something about it, although expensive
Expensive? I could pile the next 100 years of wing waste in desert wasteland at U-Haul transit costs and no one would even know it’s there. Including for the most part Mother Nature.
Another planet is what it would cost to deliver the same level of risk dumping nuclear waste. Will we still argue nuclear is greener 100 reactors from now, when city smog glows at night, and cancer rates are 1 in 2 as the boiled-frog norm?
It’s not merely ideal to solve ALL of the waste problem first. It’s necessary. We couldn't even keep Shall Not Be Infringed in check. We cannot assume up-front promises means we’ll secure the necessary give-a-shit regarding nuclear waste forever-maintenance. That’s how waste drums end up being found leaking at the bottom of the ocean wrapped in a Go Green banner. After we starve ourselves looking for answers as to why the food chain was suddenly crippled.
Batteries can be made non-toxic and recyclable a hell of a lot faster than nuclear ever will.
Unless they find something to completely use up all the uranium or convert it into something else.
You know what they say. Go Green or Glow Green.
The company disclosed the incident on August 25, saying that the attackers stole data and demanded 1.5 Bitcoin to not leak it.
Cracks me up thinking about the first thing ten-thousand Bitcoin bought back in the day: two pizzas.
Now hackers are demanding ransomware payments for what wouldn't even buy a whiff of those pies.
As the world burns..
as long as this proposed model isn't hamstrung with too little memory or too little storage..
Wow. You might have just blown the lid off that whole Low-Cost marketing strategy.
The problems you describe were damn near expected inside the price-starting-at model, within the company pushing significant upcharges for soldered-in memory and storage upgrades. Let's hope they've changed tactics.
While i share the general sentiment of this post, may i suggest the elderly are supposed to do physical exercises like anyone else ? The are also much more at risk of losing their health fast if they don't move enough.
As we get older and wiser, we realize that damn near everything in life should be under moderation.
If someone hasn't figured out that both diet and regular exercise are vitally important by the time they're called "elderly", divine intervention more explains how they even lived that long.
It's becoming more and more necessary, but I hope the next get-up-and-move app push won't be quite as annoying as Pokemon Go.
Britain's National Centre for Gaming Disorders has treated 67 people over the age of 40 since opening in 2019..
Egads. 67 in 6 years? Holy Clickshit Batman. We should fund the addiction wing in the retirement home ASAP. After all those retirees should get busy doing...doing..uh, the fuck else again?
Nearly a fifth of 55- to 64-year-olds own a games console.
There's a difference between own and addicted to.
Game consoles have been around for half a century now. The only thing my Apple IIc, Sega Genesis, and PS3 consoles are owning, is space in the garage.
October sales were garbage because manufacturers haven't lowered the price yet to compensate for the loss of the subsidy, and honestly a lot of EV manufacturers may simply elect to just stop making EVs because profit margins are going to be much much lower without the elevated prices.
ALL car sales have been shit for a while now, due to MSRP+FU pricing arrogance that’s now being marketed as “on sale” at only MSRP+fu pricing. They haven’t lowered greedy markups since COVID. On damn near anything on the lot.
If American car makers think not making EVs is going to generate that “traditional” high profit they like, they should take a walk through their current unsold inventory. See how the rest of that dumpster fire is doing and buy a clue. They wish their flavor of greed and arrogance, was reduced to merely a subsidy problem. You ain’t shoving a cheap flat screen in the trunk to fix this.
Obviously, this isn't the full picture..
Yeah. We see the full picture every day. When we drive by every American new car lot and see how full they are. Your COVID-infected MSRP+FU pricing made that clear. And you greedy fucks deserve nothing less. Fuck your heated seat subscriptions. Fuck your proprietary infotainment. Fuck your touchscreen-everything.
Too Big To Fail? Good luck trying that shit again. If the wealthiest of tree huggers can still find a reason to own a private jet, the rest of society coukd care less about supporting EV “initiatives”. You want EV adoption? Bring back subsidies at 3x, and stop being greedy hypocrites. Otherwise you ain’t selling shit. Which is a personal problem. Stop paying your worthless CEOs millions for not making sales.
ask for this?
Yeah.
The ones profiting from it.
Fair Issac was suppose to take out gender/racial and other biases from lending. It was supposed to be a way to subjectively evaluate applicants.
Fair point, but the last housing crash and global financial crisis was caused by lenders "evaluating" applicants with a damn mirror under their nose, back when loan approvals were as easy as breathing.
Not sure what they think they're supposed to do anymore, other than try and get away with fiscal murder on behalf of the shareholder demanding it under the guise of fiduciary responsibility.
put it on the net and you will be p0ned in a nanosecond
Uh, probably not. Stripped down that hard, it sounds like it has an attack surface about as large as an OpenBSD default install.
Which is to say quite secure.
$10 for a hard pull seems crazy, hopefully the rest of the banking industry destroys these rent seeking assholes.
$10 one-time cost vs. years of potential revenue from credit interest. Per person.
Banks didn't get rich worrying about penny costs.
Equifax, Experian and TransUnion created VantageScore in 2006 as an alternative to FICO and collectively own the scoring system. The move came months after Bill Pulte, head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, announced that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would allow lenders to use VantageScore for mortgage approvals.
Uh, yeah. That "move" also started an avalanche of NINJA (No Income, No Job) Applications that ultimately created the largest housing crash in American history, triggering a larger global meltdown a mere two years later.
Let's ensure we wisen the fuck up as to what the Three Credit Hens try and shill for next time.
AI has great potential to do serious work, but the mass public seems to only care about making annoying slop
AI won't have the potential to do serious work until it is forced to grow the hell up.
Right now it's a fucking toy. Ask it to do dumb shit, it does dumb shit. Ask it to do dumber shit, it does dumber shit. With the extra bone-us of it learning how to do the dumbest shit.
The only other brain that acts that way, is a childs. Time to stop pretending otherwise.
When we write programs that "learn", it turns out we do and they don't.
