Exactly this!!!!!

1. fertile males will be extremely rare and expensive
2. genetics will be copyrighted and it will be against the law to just breed animals
3. overall genetic variety of the livestock will be non-existent. an epidemic will kill off the entire livestock of large areas all at once

This is absolutely different.

Who do you think are coding the software that provides the AirTables service? What stack they are using?

Low code approaches are not replacing coding rather creating new markets that were out of reach before.

The dentist analogue is flawed because the DIY filler kits are not made by dentists and are really removing a big part of the dentists market. (if they ever realize)

When did it occur that the US did help the soviets to suppress their own citizens? Did the US sell weapons to the soviet? Did the US share intelligence on refugees? Did the US actively work to prevent refugees organize an anti communist movement on US land? Because this is happening. People did flee from China to the US. And an American Company is helping their government to have long hands and reach them in their shelter.

Short: the homepod has no gps, so it can only give a global best guess. The watch and the phone do know their locations, so they give a localized answer. Long: the problem is that the user did not expect a localized answer and was not aware he will get one such. The machine has more context information that the user has or the user assumes the machine has, and uses that information in the decision. This results in decisions that are perceived as illogical by the user.

No, it is the opposite: People can be infected with no symptoms and spreading the virus. To find and isolate them, you must test people with no symptoms at all. This results in lower rates among the ones tested, but helps slowing down the spread of the disease. If you spare with tests and only tests ppl. with fewer, pain, etc., you will get higer positive rate, but you have no chance finding the ones spreading the virus. And you get in huge trouble in a week. I am from Europe, and see this happening. Italy tried the first option too.

I had to read the orig. article several times. The important part is that indeed it was second hand, and sold by Tesla as a second hand one. And just as a regular second hand dealer does remove the special rims from the car so he can sell them as an upsell, Tesla does remove features from the car before he sells it second hand. Just there was a glitch and the feature was removed after the sale, not before the sale. Like the dealer shows you the car, allows for a test drive, with the shiny chrome rims. Then you pay and take the car. The next morning your car is on jacks and your wheels are gone. Dealer says he made an audit and realized the rims were not included, so he corrected that. When you check your contract/receipt, you realize that the custom rims are not mentioned at all.
