Comment Trump's Biggest Scam (Score 4, Insightful) 193

At this point, you are an absolute idiot if you don't realize that Trump gave high earners an enormous tax break and is placing the burden of that on the lowest paid class in our society in the form of tariffs. Even those tariffs will not fully pay for the insane debt he has summarily created, but our future generations certainly will be. DOGE was a joke, and the savings they generated amounted to nothing. Especially after all the litigation and 'oops have your jobs back' that ended up after they realized they had fired critical personnel. DOGE was nothing but a hidden-in-plain-sight way of firing dissenters and dumping organizations that he wanted gone. Our country is the laughingstock of the world. We no longer have countries that call us friends. At best, we are a slightly challenged older brother who throws his weight around when he doesn't get what he wants. Trump has finished putting the last nail in the American century.

Disagreed. He's right on customer service. An AI customer service bot, done correctly, can be a much better end experience for the customer. The question here is, are they CHEAPER than the currently option? That costing is complicated, and it really starts on how the AI companies price each query. As far as doctors? He's full of shit. How does an AI check your reflexes, feel for growths under the skin, etc. Perhaps, given all the same data, an AI is correct more often than a doctor. But GETTING that data still requires expertise and tools that AI's don't have. So... yeah.... full of shit there. But what do you expect? He's trying to grow his business and justify the insane pay rates of the AI engineers they are hiring, along with trying to pay off the stupid high energy and infrastructure costs required by AI.

What - you really thought he was endosing crypto so hard because he thought it was a good idea for America? He sees it as one more way to get shady money laundered and into his accounts. It used to be Russia and Deutsche Bank. Now it'll be untraceable crypto. For just $100 you can get a gold MAGA hat made in China! Donate now! You're a hero! Donations in bitcoin plz.

What a load of tripe.

NASA continues to run groundbreaking missions. "Competition" from the private sector is nothing more than the private sector taking space technology from Nasa, then getting huge government kickbacks (SpaceEx), and using that.

There is no 'competition' in space without the government kickbacks, and the reason THAT is happening is pretty simple: Corporate Welfare.

Comment Because they have what people want.... (Score 3, Interesting) 31

That's because, for now, they have what people want. But as the streaming services see them as a threat they will remove their content from google and remove stations as well. I used google TV because it was the only way for me to easily watch the NFL, and it had everything else as a package. That's exactly why I only use shitty services like netflix, paramount, apple TV et. al. for a month at a time. They've stratified themselves so heavily that each only has a show or two that I want to watch.

Don't even ask me how many times I had to read this sentence in the article to have it make sense.

"A more compact version of the model will from today power suggested messaging replies from the keyboard of Pixel 8 smartphones."

My 8th grade english teacher would have circled that in red and written "ACKWARD" in huge letters.

Comment Re:Yes apps can detect when a screenshot is taken. (Score 1) 68

No. No it's not. To allow ANY secure work on a phone, corporations need controls to prevent exactly this from happening.

Example: I'm attending a private webinar for my company and financial outlooks are being discussed weeks in advance of a quarterly profits announcement. I take a quick screen shot and send it to my friends.

This is a situation where certain users need the ability. The problem here is that the APP shouldn't have that permission without being granted it specifically.
