No, you know there are sales taxes in your state, and what they are. There is nothing hidden.

If you don't like that, talk to your government officials, who create the tax.

The stores shan't be hiding the amounts, to make increases and effects easier for the politicians. Some of you are putting the cart before the horse.

Like worrying about company advertisers gathering your data more than government. History much?

Actually paying tax at the register is un hidden fees. It's the countries hiding taxes in the advertised price that are being deliberately deceptive, trying to obfuscate the amount of tax you pay.

It's an accounting gimmick either way, because the end user pays for the modem somehow.

Come on, Microsoft. For 20 years you have been the king of non-innovators, wating to see what works, then hemorrhaging cash and market position to conjure into existence competition. Usually chronically and unrecoverably lagging at that point.

Few companies have the cash one could say, well, go build your own custom chips, giant databases, and vertical integration. You're one of the few! You'll still lag unless your ai becomes outstanding, but them's the breaks.

Google's been using captchas to gather info on scene analysis for almost that long. Y tu?

I can't read this except in "Peter Griffin's" voice, as mocked in South Park.

Is this good, average, or terrible?

Enjoy (every company except Boeing)!

Cool. Terraforming to unlock vast swaths of farmland in the north continues apace, en route to the complete trantorization of Earth. Why? Because the tech levels in a century, much less 3, will be unimaginable. The faster that tech comes around, the better.

Wow! 0.2% of what we borrowed last year!

Dry desert area, cool! Er, warm! Not rainy! Not snowy! Not icy!

Anyone working on this?

Amazon has an app store?

Windows has apps ala phones? I thought Microsoft's business model was spying on everything I did, listening in, doing screenshots, monitoring every web site I went to regardless of browser, and passed it through AI to put me into 10,000 bins for robotized ad sales on the fly, and coughing up that to government without a warrant?

Like "Remake Blue with Buffy and Rey photorealistic".

It's just a stress test, I swear.

And I didn't realize people couldn't do this.

Tested very high on 3D questions. I thought others just had gimpy legs, not that they were wheelchair bound in 3D mental modeling.

Then again I don't have perfect pitch. "What is that note?" "It's a C." "Why?" It's apparently like asking why orange is orange.

Already their image search is useless. I want to know the source of the image, not, say, a crowd of people with similar color shirts.

And if I click find source, that is next to useless for papparazzi photos as they won't show large ones their crawler knows about for fear of lawsuits.

Useless.

It will buy lowered hatred by voters for a few years, which is the goal, and does so putting the unsavory task of new police laws and spending directly on the heads of the voters so, again, politicians can hide from it.

Remaining in power is the goal. You have to wonder why.
