It might actually be time to work on some skills of worth in a pre-industrial economy; the rich and their robots go one way, the poor get to survive if they can find enough productive land the rich don't claim and patrol with drones.

Once the rich have robot enforcement, there's no way they'll stop taking more and more and marginalizing anyone who tries to stop them.

The sad part is it's the poor who are enabling this - we build the robots, we design the AI. Right now, we are the servants to the ultra-wealthy and any one of us close to them could start a French solution to the issue of billionaires.

We're all so desperate to be rich in the current economic system that we're selling our own futures and we'll enthusiastically drag down anyone who tries to stop us.

Yep. And many domestic Canadian flights transit American airspace - if there are any issues, you're landing at an American airport.

Even with slightly longer flights and current fuel prices, I'd rather Canadian airlines stay on the Canadian side of the border going forward.

That is why this was always destined to fail as an authentication mechanism. And anyone smart enough to code it already knows this - which is why you know the real reason is to collect training data for AI, not to create a robust and secure authentication system.

I don't have a lot of friends, but I tend to doubt most people do. Many people have a lot of friendly acquaintances.

My friends are people I keep in touch with and don't need social media for each of us to remember the other exists.

I didn't say he was wrong. I should be more specific and say that he is not incorrect.

He's still 'wrong' as a human being.

"We have your photos, but we really need multiple angles with consistent lighting and background to train our AI. Also, as per company policy, fuck you, you're all morons."

-Zuck

Trump doesn't care about the USA getting hurt, he cares about hurting others. You can't threaten him, that just encourages escalation - but you can't let him abuse you, because that encourages escalation.

The best strategy - which is still a losing strategy because we're watching a mutually beneficial relationship being torn down unilaterally - is to ignore him where you can, and apply pressure without threats where you can.

Eventually Trump will make the US so unattractive to trade that it will evapourate. For the moment it continues because of momentum, but the world is going to route around the US eventually. It just takes time.

Folks who wanna do that have been using gopros for years, theres maybe arguments to be made about a more exact POV vs slightly above or to the side for certain things, but theres still not a whole lot of reasons to use secret spy glasses instead of a superior but more obvious gopro besides secret spy reasons.

Then you have fuck all right to complain about what people do on it.

I know consistency is out of fashion in the US, but people really should demand that their constitutional rights actually be inviolable, and not magically irrelevant because a power-tripping fascist says they don't apply under certain circumstances.

You're never going to be as good as a bat or a dolphin, but try going into a quiet room and walking as close to a wall as possible with your eyes closed.

You don't even need the clicks - just the changes in ambient sound will let you know.

>As it points out in the summary, it requires you to turn your head on command, to prevent people using photos of you.

Yeah, no way you could use a real-time avatar program to fake that. Last time I checked, the cheap ones couldn't do profiles... but for just how long do you think that will remain true?

TLDs primarily exist to divide the DNS space into human-comprehensible chunks.

I wish the original setup had been national TLDs run by the the nations they represented, then let them go Wild West.

If your company is big enough to operate in multiple companies, it is big enough to have a domain for each country it operates in.

If you think the US is going to fail gracefully, I have a bridge to sell you.

Trump - and his successors - don't care if they're destroying the world as long as they personally feel they get some kind of immediate personal advantage every step of the way.

At some point, the US is going to exploit Amazon, Google, Meta, or Microsoft to cause another country economic pain... and the government won't care that doing so will mean everyone starts disconnecting from the US' newly displayed threat and ultimately hurt the US more than anybody else.

There's a reason Canada and multiple EU nations are seriously pursuing 'sovereign clouds'. They're anticipating an attack and trying to mitigate the risk.

There are also power limits on unlicensed frequencies. Would you like to guess what my experience has been working on police surveillance and whether they respect those limits or not?

Different country, same problem; cops often put themselves above the law.

Fark has no significant redeeming qualities, so I guess... OK, thanks for the update, dustbin of history is just on your left.
