Zipcar can be rented for very short periods of time (an hour or so) while Turo's minimum is a day or more.

You are paying the extra fees to save your time (going to the restaurant, waiting to be seated, waiting until your order is ready and going back home) and your transportation expenses.

When you or I use one of the AI chatboxes we see errors a significant fraction of the time. And of course this is only a small fraction of the errors because of our lack of previous knowledge.

I just don't understand why business is going to use AI so heavily with all these errors.

Does Discord have the name, address, phone number, and email of its users?

I would have guessed Discord only has a made-up user name and email address.

"It's too easy to switch out to a competitor."

Really? I would think vendor lock-in would be pervasive in the semiconductor industry.

"it is really really annoying to use"

The reason the Zelle app was killed was fraud/scamming. Zelle has been under strong attack from some members of Congress because of so much fraud/scamming on the platform. So while only 2% of transaction volume happened on the app, a substantially higher percent of the fraud/scamming did.

If you look at the total picture I think you will find that the white collar types tend to fly all over, while the blue collar types fly rarely. Flying produces a massive amount of carbon dioxide.

The blue collar types are heavily into reuse and repair, while the white collar types "recycle"--which except for metals doesn't help the environment and is a big cost.

Who are they going to lose these major business contracts to? Big business is locked into the Microsoft ecosystem and it would cost a great deal of money to get out.

Greenland has a population of 56,000 and it hosts a number of seismic research activities. One would expect someone there to notice the seismic activity--instead you have this detective work from thousands of miles away.

"regulators have said virtually all leachate from the nation's 200 landfills contain PFAS."

The number of landfills in the U.S. is in the thousands--not a couple hundred.

There are several groups doing the same thing. This article is about Sunshine State Sonar, not Adventures with a Purpose.

Old landfills have a massive amount of toxic waste.

Maybe Europe is different.

But definitely there would be no impact in the U.S. because the political parties and special interest groups are already running massive disinformation campaigns which would complete dwarf any disinformation efforts by the Russians.
