Ship From Vendor - they'll give the vendor your delivery name and address, kind of necessary
Payment Processing - they'll give the payment processor your name and credit card number, again kind of necessary
Alexa and Ring Emergency Response - They'll give the police your name, address and emergency type, rather necessary as well
Etc.

They don't sell your data. Ever.

The difference here is that Amazon never sells customer data. Ever.

I worked at Amazon for 9 years, and security of customers' data is the top priority. I could literally access Jeff Bezo's personnel file with lower permissions than I could access your purchase history or your Ring or Alexa data. We had to complete a refresher course on data protection every year.

And rely on outdated equipment with unreliable firmware to protect it.

The Democratic "leadership" is fine with it. They can give their corporate and billionaire benefactors everything on their wish list, and if voters complain just say, "We'd love to help you, but those meanies on the other side of the aisle won't let us. Maybe if you send us more money we'll try harder!"

Text of the Executive Order starts:
"Only the terrorists would vote for anyone but the greatest president ever! All real 'Mericans would vote for me, so what's the point of elections anyway? Do you want the terrorists to win?"

Talk about trying to close the barn doors after the horse has bolted! You're only waiting until there are a gillion datacenters going up to talk? Oh wait, no, it's not that at all because fuck the environment, right?

See, it's all about losing the certainty that people like him have been afforded in life. Frankly, I hope they lose total control of the situation and are forced to shut everything down, only to be faced with the dire consequences of their actions. Fuck all the people that don't give a fuck until it could possibly impact them because they are the same assholes who want tax breaks and think empathy is a weakness.

Significant increases in pay will draw more people to join the field. Will it take time? Yes but it is how you get more people. However, if it were truly exponential then you would get people coming from other countries. It can be done, if you have the money.

While I mostly agree, the one part I may disagree with is with documentation. It's not uncommon that documentation can be scarce for certain things which means that if someone can generate, review, and publish documentation for part of the project, I see that as a way of helping users that would otherwise have very little, just poor documentation, or in some cases no documentation at all.

Given that we live in a "market-driven" society, the correct conclusion is that companies are refusing to properly compensate skilled workers. As for the cause, the only rational conclusion is that there is insufficient competition in the energy distribution market. To encourage competition, the correct move would be to start breaking up large energy distribution companies like PG&E.

If only there was some way to process these flammable batteries in a way that their components could be reused again for batteries, like some sort of cycle that goes again and again, a "recycle" if you will.

I dunno, I'm just spitballing here.

Mathematicians invented imaginary numbers because they refused to admit they were wrong which logically means that AI will invent hallucinated numbers to explain why they gave a non-sense answer to a basic math question.

That's fine because now everyone should be getting an EV which solves the engine reliability issue.

I want lots of things but I choose what I get. People need to take some responsibility for what they buy.

Those are ancillary luxury features that are not critical to driving. You have eyes, don't you?

is spoiled.
