If you're hitting something the size of a building you don't need an Nvidia chip.

My issue with it isn't that they're using a processor, it's that this class of processor is likely overkill. So, either it's so readily available they have a warehouse full of them, or somebody wants to stir up shit. I'm guessing it's effectively the latter. It's more politically with it to raise the concern that it is to bother sourcing this component for production.

Basic image recognition sufficient for mapping navigation can be done in significantly lesser hardware.

The $100/yr for a developer doesn't come close to covering publishing costs.

Spotify doesn't charge for their app, they provide subscriptions, and have a large install base. Downloading a million apps when there is an update for instance isn't free for Apple.

I think they are very generous with the small developers. And the way to keep doing that is to have the successfully community pay its share of costs. We all benefit from it. (And it's Nicole and dimes for the big players)

Its not racism or prejudice in the sense of judging people by immaterial qualities (skin color, sex/gender/ethnicity/etc) , it is the prejudice of Elitism. They think ONLY their elite compatriots are or should be eligible to doing the six figure job. There was a cute 80s movie that took this Elitism to task, The Last Starfighter.

It fits this pretty well.

A call for aid is not inherently a distress call. Period.

Running out of fuel is not inherently a distress call, on calm seas with no immediate risk to life it is a call for aid. It would be escalated to a distress call if the situation changed, rough seas, drifting towards rocks, etc. would be valid for a distress call.

Is there an immediate risk to life and safety? No - call for aid.

There is a legal difference.

The very same people who told right wingers to "go start your own" social media, when the whole big tech cabal collectively went after various people, are the same ones now complaining that they were banned without cause for posting on a Tuesday.

This isn't a pro or con right wing post, this is a "you made your bed now lie in it" post.

I'm not a fan of the bigoted posts from any side. People love the powers that be right up to and until they are on the wrong side of those powers. Take a moment and think things through, and lets stop being so damn tribal, and maybe, just maybe Liberty will survive.
