Then there is the destruction of the social safety net, which compounds the problem.

Many working class people felt abandoned by the Democrats and then voted for the Republicans, believing in the lies being peddled by Trump.

Even worse, things like affordable healthcare and economic support are being further destroyed under Trumpâ(TM)s watch.

Unfortunately neither party seems to care and until a new party can be formed, then itâ(TM)s only âoeindependentsâ who seem to be the champions. Unless those champions can get together to form a party, they are going to have a hard time pushing for the needed changes

That's a design and implementation issue. If the data center doesn't have a backup battery or generator and they committed to "five nines" availability, then they are at fault. If they didn't commit to "five nines" availability, but 911 treated at such, then that is a problem on the 911 system.

Emergency systems should be able to operate in a "dumb mode" and in the absence of grid power. If that means throwing more humans to support the situation, then so be it. In the end these systems are meant to be serving humans and not the other way around.

Sounds like a scenario for a low budget film that sets Star Trek in a David Elisson / Trump world. Maybe even find a way to craft that into an episode featuring an authoritarian dystopian world.

Sure it might result in some people getting fired, but there is a good chance theyâ(TM)d not be following the company out of state anyhow?

"*Internet access required, with daily phone home. One time free brake push if outside of network range"

Even there they improve automation if it makes sense. Its not always a cost of labour, but managing error rates,

There have been some calls for Intel to reorganise into separate chip development and chip fabrication divisions or businesses.

Note, Intel had previously designed StrongARM and XScale lines, but sold them off.

Is the choice "Golden Gate" a way to appease Trump? Sounds like a combination of grifting and a certain arch...

Its like software patents. Its not the patents that are good, but the incentive to work around them.

I would so love to be able to make it so Meta stops shoving AI in my face. I don't want it and if they can't pay for the compute resources, then I am not going to help them justify the expense.

Makes me think of Boxee and why I never used it.

Then again you wouldn't have unionised workers if they were being treated fairly in the first place?

And it is for reasons like this we donâ(TM)t want age verification as a core requirement for operating systems.

And US companies sell off their renewable technology IP to China, because they arenâ(TM)t getting the investor or government support in the US. This leads to a furthering of Chinese strength, while US businesses build and lobby for a world that is 20-30 years in the past.

Which regime? The current Iranian one, the one running is Israel or the one running the US right now? They are all kinda crap quite honestly. At this point Israel's and Iran's leaders are probably competing for body count. Iran it is is its own people and Israel its the Palestinians, which they treat as scum.

Certainly not Java blood, unless we are talking the blood of the developers writing software or the black stuff that comes from grinding a few beans and adding liquid to them.
