Reddit is free to run their business as they choose. They lose ad revenue from people using clients that don't display ads, so they charge those people for the API access to use those clients instead of the official Reddit mobile client. There have been some recent reports of them blocking mobile browser access to the website as well, to push more people onto the mobile app, likely for the same reason. Don't want people using an ad-blocking or privacy-enhancing browser on their site.

Did you miss the "no ads" part?

They didn't remove third-party clients. You just don't get a free lunch anymore. I use Relay. It's a monthly subscription (as low as $1/mo) to pay for the API calls to interact with the site. But for that I don't get any ads and from my understanding a better interface.

If it's spinning at that rate couldn't you have the camera synchronized to the spins so it's capturing a frame when it's turned to the same position? Kinda like the mechanism that allowed fighter planes to have machine guns mounted in front of the pilot and shooting between the propeller blades. Motion picture cameras are 24 fps.

Your phone autocorrected "From" to "I'm"? That's quite a reach in reasoning.
Seems more plausible it autocorrected "In" to "I'm" since n/m are right by each other.

Basic Luna service is already included with Amazon Prime. Amazon must be desperate to draw more attention to the service by copying Netflix and integrating it into the video service so you "can't miss it". Likely a move to help advertise the higher-tier Luna you have to pay extra for.

Sounds like they need to increase their staffing then. I wonder if there are any IT people looking for jobs right now...

See, that's the thing... By having this be handled now they take care of it for a measly $14 mil. Whereas if the current administration had ignored it, then a later one could come after them for a lot more. So it's really doing them a favor "punishing" them at this time.

Isn't Intel already doing 18 Angstrom?

Because this smart speaker is likely to be much, much more expensive than most speakers you own. If they made the AI just a service that you could just use with your existing devices in your home they would lose the chance to sell you the expensive gadget. Exactly the reason the Humane AI Pin was created when an app on your phone could have done the same thing.

The whiteboard is the modern "blackboard", and many people use them to communicate in a home setting. They just tend to be smaller than 3' x 9'.

This doesn't seem to be a concern when it comes to increasing executive salaries. They could lower some of those and have plenty more money to spend on new workers. Really... "We have pumped so many young people into business and finance" -- No shit, Sherlock. Maybe because the only people making 7 figures in healthcare are the administrators and folks in insurance, not the ones actually practicing medicine. The very long shifts medical careers seem famous for are a good indicator healthcare facilities need to hire more people, but who wants to enter a job with such long hours. Meanwhile the work to be done isn't going down, so everyone has to work longer. It becomes a feedback loop.

Please re-read my reply. It's about that. What happens when you are banned from one chain for shoplifting, but their facial-recognition database is shared with others? How the individual supposed to know which stores they can go to and not be arrested?

Arrested on what charge? If they are someone previously caught shoplifting then presumably they have already paid their fine or served their sentence for that crime. While I'm aware that some shops ban individuals guilty of theft from being on the premises in the future, we're talking about a list that is shared between business chains, and you aren't going to know who all the chains are on the list. You can't arrest them for trespassing at a store they may have never been to before.

Sounds more like Equilibrium.
