They do business in the EU. If you do business in a country, you are subject to their rules and regulations.

Ya, thank goodness the U.S. is going to build some new large battleships so that the Russkies, Chinese, NORKS, and Iranians have decent sized targets to shoot at.

The current Ford-class aircraft carriers are decent-sized targets to shoot at. They are bigger than a battleship.

I wouldn't say pragmatic, no. He's tried it, found it works, and now won't listen to the people pointing out the numerous problems with it.

He has pointed out AI's flaws and limitations. He has also said the beneft is it gets him to the starting point more quickly to either figure out a bug or how to do something, or even how to rewrite something he's already done. He is not blindly accepting what it says.

Trust, but verify would be closer to his thinking.

Why is it all these earth like worlds exist, but no signs of life ?

We don't know that. There could be organisms living on one or more of these planets, but we can't detect them. Maybe it's a type of moss or simply bacteria.

Until we visit these planets, we cannot say with any certainty life doesn't exist on these worlds.

Seeing how intense was the lobbying of American brands against it, it validates the notion that the intentional battery crappification is true.

Why more people are buying DVDs/blu-ray. They have the movie. They own it. It can't be taken from them. It won't change.

The same with books. No worrying that your digital copy will mysteriously disappear one night. You have the book. You bought it. It's yours. The words won't change.

I back them up with all my other backups, if you compress them they aren't any more egregious to store than the vacation photos. It isn't much harder than backing up my CDs was.

What more could a government want than their populace to potentially become dependent on an AI model they control?

I'm sure they don't want to pay the hosting on the streaming files if they can't offset it by selling more

Errr, hearing aids are significantly larger with standard hearing aid batteries being larger than airpods themselves,

No, they're not. My dad has hearing aids and they are about the same size as an airpod.

For reference, this is close to, but not the same as, what he has. This shows the size of the various airpod models. They are not "significantly larger" than a hearing aid, and in fact are nearly identical in size.

Like seriously that is an insanely ignorant example. Cheese also contains calcium so what excuse does chalk have for not being used as a sandwich topping?

Yes, your example is insanely ignorant. Cheese is a food. Chalk is not.

If you look in the user manual (when the manufacturers still deign to include one) it'll suggest that for fridges and places to look for dry ice for your freezers as well as amounts per unit time for each. An inverter and lawn equipment batteries can run a fridge longer than you'd expect, too.

You think they'd stop dead wherever they happened to be because of... a lost network connection? I suppose if we stop pulling the teeth from our regulatory agencies a graceful fail state for loss of connection would be easy to mandate, but I think even in our current state there's more rules for the cell network providers to have power redundancy.

This is true, but unfortunately I would think owning all the broadcast media and algorithmic social media would be sufficient to maintain an electoral majority even if nerds like us can keep reading APNews.

Yes and its easier than ever to check a webpage for some places' hours. Schools could shift around different quarters, if needed, they already have hours that don't really mesh with work hours quite right.
