If law enforcement was interested in catching criminals they could have a full time job without every leaving the police station. Instead they show that they can't deal with the so-called "few bad apples".

A far-left take on what the role of law enforcement is can be summed up as the Role of Police is Protecting Capitalism

we're going to accidentally Andromeda Strain ourselves.

Suicide rates are down overall and down with teens compared to the 80's and 90's. For people who grew up in that period and are in the 40's to 60's, the suicide rate is up.

This tells you how important he is to the function of Azure, a "service" which has been hacked multiple times so badly that there are no logs and Microsoft doesn't know what happened.

They hired him for his recognizable name, and he's so involved with the business that he has time to do... this.

Perhaps Microsoft should try to find someone who can solve Azure's problems to run it.

OK, but our legal system doesn't actually permit us to punish the people who did it with as much harm as they doled out...

lolol obviously not the "he" I meant but you're so deep into your love of child molestation you can't see straight

Social media does have a place when it's actually social media which means it's meant to bring like-minded people together to socialize.

So it can be a good thing when it helps you find a friend group or a bunch of guys to play Warhammer with or whatever.

The problem is that as soon as profit motive kicks it the goal is going to be to get as much engagement so you can do as many advertisements and steal as much data as possible. What's worse is that these platforms make money either by selling your data or advertising. The date is selling is obviously bad advertising by itself should be relatively harmless but online advertising just doesn't work. It's barely functional for branding exercises at best and completely useless for direct sales.

It is however very good at finding suckers and marks and people to victimize through advertising so virtually everything on social media being advertised is a scam. It's actually a great way to find out if something is a garbage product look and see if you can find ads for it online when you're in private browsing or using a VPN and if you can odds are good that product is trash.

If the weather is bad enough, people choose not to go out in it. Unless someone has a gun to your head, you always have a choice.

Heh, there's some validity to that. Human drivers are a daily rolling disaster that society tolerates only because there hasn't been any reasonable alternative. If-and-when autonomous vehicles actually become cheap and reliable enough, I suspect that human driving will gradually start to be curtailed -- not necessarily by banning it outright, but by making licensing requirements more restrictive, by making insurance costs more onerous, and/or by "nerfing" the cars such that they simply refuse to perform dangerous maneuvers.

The water has to come from somewhere. They will be using water. Where will the water come from? If they're not getting it from their own catchments then they are literally going to be "tapping" a water supply. I suppose it could be an "industrial" supply, are they putting their DC next to an industrial source of water? Otherwise they will be "tapping" a "residential or rural" water source.

Words have meanings and there's no need to fall over ourselves to defend a multi billion dollar company for abusing them.

Fascists always call everyone else fascists to distract from their fascism, then when you point that out they try to misuse the associative property to distract from it some more.

Time wasn't endorsing those people, nor their fascism.

AIs will need ad blockers obviously

And he's right. So?

No, it isn't. I proved in the other thread that OTA viewers, especially OTA alone, have a median age DECADES older than the general population. Since that population also includes them, they skew it older, not younger, which makes you more wrong and not less.

You are talking about something which didn't happen.

Again.

Weird habit.
