or someone printing one in anger
The mental image of someone seething in anger patiently, while waiting for this to be built layer by layer...
The people who are going to these lengths for illicit guns will have no trouble bypassing restrictions. Everyone else will just buy a gun the normal way.
Google has always prioritized rapidly changing content, above relevancy or quality. It makes sense that social media would rise to the top of an environment like that. It doesn't make it good as news, though technically they did call it "Discover" rather than News.
The problem with that is it would create runaway inflation.
To a certain extent, inflation only matters if you aren't the one that owns everything. Continually devaluing wages before minimum wage can rise to meet it is another way to skim off the top.
all with the hope that they would recoup that investment through renting the space to retailers. Sometimes this works, sometimes it doesn't. There are plenty of malls right now who are struggling to fill their huge sq. ft. space with anything at all, and those owners are losing piles of money.
With the exception of malls recently, they get their money whether the business inside that building makes money or not. They can churn through tenant after tenant and recoup their money while never allowing a tenant to thrive. It's relatively rare for things to stay vacant.
When the product is a $30 Android phone, they definitely want you to believe they are losing money on it with a 60 day unlock policy. But given how slow those phones are I really don't know how much they could be losing.
There is some good slop out there too. I don't know how to quantify quality slop, but there is at least one channel putting out some very funny videos that are complete nonsense. I would not want to see that go away but I don't think they are going for detecting AI vs not anyway. They had a bad slop problem before AI.
- You would need to steal the whole device while it is operating and unlocked to be able to access those.
Or borrow it. You know, like if you live in the same house before the divorce.
A login can be stolen and get hacked.
And particularly relevant for a divorce situation, a significant other who can grab your phone and knows your passcode certainly doesn't count as being you.
And here I thought a web hosting company getting bought out by EIG was bad enough. Turns out private equity can be even worse.
That's the silly thing. They were the other provider. If they can't even compete with Microsoft or Google mailbox sizes at $10/mo how bad are they at this?
Rackspace: 25GB at $10
Microsoft: 50GB at $4
Google: 30GB at $6
This is just lazy algorthims on Google's part. If you have any of a certain number of words in your video anywhere, it can be demonetized. That includes in on-screen graphics as well as spoken. It would almost be better if it was driven by AI. Almost.
Fast writes just means using solid state for inbound data before offloading to slower storage.
Right, because if you're on free tier and moving up to a paid tier still has ads, what would be the point?
If you use it correctly, you're a human using it who understand its uses and limitations. The grift is that vibe coding or autonomous coding is remotely viable.
I think it's more likely just an investment intended to increase supply and drive down costs
This keeps that specific copper off of the global market entirely. It makes this copper MUCH cheaper because its costs are paid up front. But it also could be used as a bargaining chip when buying copper from elsewhere. Especially if they can reinvest their savings to help scale this up.
Sigmund Freud is alleged to have said that in the last analysis the entire field of psychology may reduce to biological electrochemistry.
