Yep our emergency services fail too frequently and people die, and the outages only disclosed later. The workaround is to have a different carrier off somebody else. I also want to say I have never heard of anyone being fined for incorrect or inappropriate use. There are repeat offenders.

The rage is just not American, but global. In descending order countries and states with the highest electricity costs are the losers. Those states that need to build electricity infrastructure are also loser's. In areas with a water shortage, you are a double loser. Logically the placement of bitcoin miners grabbed the most efficient locations first. I was not aware Nevada has excess water allocations and too much hydro power, but what do I know. If you are forced to have a 'SMART' meter you will definitely be subsidizing somebody else. If you see a datacenter under construction, know where the water and transformer substations come from. How many councilors declared any 'conflict of interest' . Yeah about zero. I hope EU slaps a huge global warming tax on foreign datacentres, and adds in -generous free money subsidies they got. Love to see what the Irish locals are saying.

Also custom DNA vaccines? is kinda misleading. Many patients can probably have the same variant and easy splice job. Quite cheap. What do you do when a patient comes in and the DNA mods look complicated OR the drug company KNOWS its efficacy for that problem is low or few successes recorded. Do they tell? Do they discount or charge more? These a good questions.

Consumer affairs need to heavily fine misleading and deceptive statements, triple that if the cause claimed is specific but untrue in descending order of cause. If Amazon said, import duties, transport, distribution costs, decreased discounting, interest costs, return costs, compliance costs, then yeah, fine. Or even bulk deal and old stocks have run out. Or claim it was a loss leader. They know their own buy cost. And they dont want to tell consumer affairs when the PR department make over the top generalization's. But speakers have garden variety electronics, and el cheapo parts, and a 30 cent mcu. Clearly memory was NOT a cause on low end bucket speaker boxes. plastic, made from oil, probably did raise the production cost in China. maybe they used up all obsolete bluetooth 4 modules, and the latest bluetooth chip cost 60 cents more. Honesty is best. It is no secret that when helicopter covid money landed, retailers all raised prices on flat screen TV's because they could. Raw computer memory did triple in price, That is true. Bust so did the humble USA letter stamp cost. Transport is the biggie.

Way back, the discovery of cholesterol reducing statins seemed a breakthrough. The drug Rep said 'Doctor, its a miracle, it lowers cholesterol' . The doctor thought for a second or two, and said, I am not interested in pathology printout numbers, does it increase life expectancy? The drug rep thought a bit, and said. 'Gee nobody asked me that before, I dunno'. This crafty press release tries to claim undeserved credit, without actual quantification. no blind A:B. Most cancer drugs are selective, and they dont want central buying department to find out which extra treatments are just a waste of money. speculators are not old school doctors.

Now compare this to marginal electorate ads at election time. They know where I live, and call my phone and email with a targeted ad or script. Obama's A and B ads was ground breaking in the day, yet consumer rubbish is still shotgun, because advertisers, some of them, pay for pray and spray saturation ads. Again, capacity to pay is not properly calculated.

Big Tech wants you to open your wallet, buy stuff you dont need, or sell leads. They fail at this miserably, and stupid advertisers pay too much for dud leads. Blocking Youtube ads does not work, and any ad hot on the heels of a blocked ad is money down the train. Work out the client type (A,B,C or D). Where A is easy peazy, and Type D consumers miserable skinflints with moths in their wallet, and drive a 15 year old junker as their car. As a Type D, I am not getting real offers. IF AI can get type Ds then they can get more money. Disrespect me by fake ads or too many, you loose money. I give Youtube an solid F- for ad penetration

There are dozens of other countries, including Uganda, and bordering countries. A sizable cash payment should work. This is why taxpayers and voters are fed up with any war participation and post war liabilities, including its own injured soldiers.

Hartman will sort these softies out. Nobody complained that was embarrassing or wrong. Some companies automatically fire the lowest performers each month anyway. Taking a pie is better that being terminated. Next: In 60's and 70's if was common to get strokes of the cane in Primary and secondary school where I grew up, dunce corners, and suggesting parents take low performers out of my (high fee) private school. I scored one basin cut, once. Also running around the frosty oval in bare feet. Finally a former employer secretly engaged an efficiency review so contractors could replace permies -this is very common. The Girls schools opposite, the mistress chopped chunks of hair from bad students and took pride in ruler welts. On the bum, because no brains there. Next we have international days, water fights in Thailand, Colored chalk in India, Tomato throwing in many countries, and Monty Python fish slapping in Canada. Everyone turned out OK. Hope that wimp joins the Marines. Sgt Hartman will sort him out.

This will be a boon for stalkers and tracking ex's. Finance industry is a joke, anyone can get access and info easy as. One doubts they have thought of this. Not everyone can afford a private telco technicians personal stingray device, which is the goto solution being used now.

Australia in AI must fail all metrics. Electricity in Australia is among the worlds most expensive - 4 to 6 times the cheap prices available in USA. (unless 10am to 2pm peak solar) That should make it a non starter. Next Water prices in Australia are also near the worlds most expensive, and land sites are also expensive. The Snowy Mountains project is also world leading cost overruns. Then there is the legal problem of 16 year old age restrictions, and copyright threats. Therefore the only need is AI for national security matters that do not get shared internationally (like how to refine rare earths). Being sensible, mountain tops in China, Iran, Russia, Alaska, Iceland and France are top contenders. Wicked tax deductions and tax free capital gains, keep USA in the game for now.

China: I hope you gear up and export quickly. Firms that want a quick buck deserve what is coming. Memory has three parts, Wafer, etch, cut and package. China excels in two right now. By the time US factories get into gear, China will offer something good enough. Then it will be a race to the bottom, only tax deductions will be locked in to kill US factories.

Like to mod you up. Commercially viable means undoing whatever restrictions now, and a big window for money to chase the dream. The Russian and Musk engines basically tick all boxes now. The thing is rare earth metals are holding up things now. Concorde II plans are pretty good even today.

Always have multiple levels of backups. Always have a working recovery plan. Know that you can recover when you are 'out'. Yet gazillions of chimp companies with patsy IT security chiefs (Thinking of Get Smart logic) are there just to absorb the blame. One day AI will mine the darkweb and find the weakest links, and really go to town. Today I read the latest AI engines have malicious payloads to discover the user doing the query. Automated blackmail and smear campaigns coming soon.

I never believe the employment and CPI numbers, and they keep getting doctored with subsidies and dropout factors, like not paying for health insurance. Generation Z has never been worse off, noddy and temp gig jobs. No wonder they are electing never before heard of candidates who aim to at least address one wrong. Boomers are quitting because they dont get any on the job respect and zero training or advancement. And if they do get hired, it is to retrain cheaper more obedient replacements.
