You don't think AI can recognize duplicate bug submissions? This alone would have cut down on one of the primary things Linus complained about. Anyone who gets a submission response that their bug has already been fixed, then verify if they so desire, and if it's not fixed, submit again with the original fix referenced as "this does not fix it".

So are they making it easier for the security researchers, or adding additional powers for law enforcement to make the researchers' lives even more vulnerable to being searched/arrested/charged?

The state government typically regulated utilities, giving them rights such as right of way (the rights of a utility to just dig through your property without your permission), or a monopoly (freedom from competition). In exchange for those rights, the utilities are regulated, are to provide service to all residents at fair prices, etc. Is Nevada power delivery not regulated at all, or is the just not enforcing those regulation? If the latter, fire/recall the current government. If the former, heck, each and every land owner in the path of the electric utility can now negotiate independently for the right to pass through the transmission cables - no more regulation, no more right-of-ways. Heck, all the affected residents could just buy crucial properties, require a trillion dollars a day for passage right, kill the data center project completely. If the government even proposes eminent domain, again, recall them and vote in proper government. If the recall doesn't happen in time, once new government takes over, use eminent domain to take over the data center as reparations for prior government misconduct.

Bingo! I've been giving "unofficial poker lessons" for years, teaching newcomers (to poker) how to play, by taking their money (on average of course). It's financed my poker hobby for many years now, though it doesn't really net me any money after tips, drinks, and food - but I'm ok with that as a hobby (I could tighten up and make some money, but I like to be loose from time to time just for fun). My favorite poker player is one who has been playing between 24 and 1000 hours. They think they are poker Gods, but unknowingly are giving away their money (again on average). I talked with one recently who admitted they lost net $26K in the last year playing poker ($900 of which came my way on that night).

Presumably Google complies with GDPR, so does Google provide to EU citizens a complete list of all Google users who have ever been shown any content in any way authored by said EU citizen, whether it's their content posted on Google, or their posts on other sites but showing up on Google search?

If not, is Google in violation of GDPR, or is a site not obligated to provide EU citizens with a complete list of whoever accessed any content authored by said citizen. A LinkedIn profile is just content authored by its creator, so same rules should apply, no?

Ok, so according to what you're saying EU citizens can request from any site a list of people to whom the content authored by the EU citizen was shown, correct? Have you ever tried to ask Google to give you a list of users who ever saw any of your posts returned in their search, or perhaps any and all content that Google may have indexed that was in any way authored by you? Or have you asked slashdot to give you a list of every single person who ever visited any page on which any content generated by you was present (like your post above). I sincerely doubt you'd get complete lists above. If you want to prove otherwise, post a list of everyone who has ever viewed your posts on Slashdot. Folks here who at least read your posts on this topic can verify whether their name is on that list.

Of course there is oversubscription of capacity. Why else would energy companies offer free "smart" thermostats which allow them to degrade cooling or heating during peak demand, or EV chargers to throttle or turn off on demand? Heck, why are the different rates for electricity if not to encourage shifting the load to off-peak times?

Does this server rack come with a dedicated armed security guard? Catalytic converters get stolen from cars parked on the street or driveways every day. Anyone thinks the thieves will not come for a box full of expensive GPUs (presumably with lots of VRAM and storage)?

If it's not your data, what entitles you to see it?

Ok, let's say your friend visits your profile. Can you request deletion of the record of said visit as per GDPR? Can your friend? Does it get deleted if either of you request it, or both need to request it?

Taking it further, does any individual have a right to request from any site a list of visitors who were shown any information or even mention of you? Would that violate their privacy? Imagine me requesting a list of personal identifications of anyone who posted on this slashdot thread as well as anyone to whom this thread was shown - if I have the right to see it, does it mean you don't have the right to delete it before I see it?

If you visit your friend in their parents' home which is rented, whose personal data is it? Is it yours, your friends, their parents, the landlords? If your friend requests deletion of this visit (like under GDPR), do you no longer get to see it, or does it just get scrubbed to you visited their parents' home but no mention of your friend anymore? Since it can be inferred that you visiting that home means you visited your friend, does the friend then get the right to delete the entire record of said visit, and if so, does it not infringe on your data rights, or their parents', or even their landlord's?

Presumably this dreaming will rack up additional token costs?

It would be like employees of a gun manufacturer unionizing to force their employer to produce children's toys instead. Also, if an employee's choice is "work for Google" or "unemployment", that would mean their skills have no value to any other employer. Bringing that up is not going to help in compensation negotiations.

Still infinitely more than people who paid thousands for Full Self Driving on Teslas between 2016-2019, which was supposed to drive their kids to school, drive their family and friends around, and drive for Tesla Ride Sharing Network when not in use making money for each owner.

No prepaid VISA cars in the UK?
