But, the usual case is that the major companies in the market collude to strip away these kind of offerings, as "free unconditional returns" hurts bottom line of all companies in the market. This is the real power of capitalism.

Think about it, for example the TV sector: All companies colluded to reduce the selection of TVs to "Smart" TVs only. I can't just go and buy from a competitor, because it simply does not exist!

But, it is almost certain that _some_ of the AI initiatives will be incredibly successful and they are going to make mountains of money, while others will be simple money sinks.

Investors are currently betting on the ones they think going to be the first category and everyone else are trying to get a piece of the money being spent in the industry.

Plus, there were live examples of stuff flying around (birds).

I do not see anything going FTL anywhere right now.

What costs? Healthcare, schooling (including kindergarten) and transportation are free for kids. Only thing you need to do is feed them and buy them some clothes, and government already pays you money for that.

Why was this downvoted? The current system of providing benefits to “poor” in Germany absolutely kills any incentive to earn more than 3k gross income per month.

Anyone earning more than that actually starts to earn less, as the benefits immediately go away (e.g. rent support) and leaving you with less money on the table.

A family of 4 (2 unemployed adults and 2 kids) qualify for 2k to 3k Eur (net) benefits per month, meanwhile any “working” adult get slapped with 51% effective tax rate without any benefits at all. Basically you share your income with another family just because they do not feel like working.

NSA and similar agencies are probably even mad at him, because he exposed the weakness that they could have exploited when needed, which is probably now patched.

This is exactly what we do, but with Spark instead. We develop the functions locally in a package and call necessary functions for the job notebooks, and the job notebooks are very minimalistic because of this

> When the trader checked the value of the inputted basket, they were presented with a figure of negative 58 million for the value of the basket (58 million multiplied by -1). The trader saw a ValAtBM of -58,000,000, which was the number they expected to see, and thus they clicked Execute to continue to the next check.

It wouldn't help.

As always there is a relevant xkcd: https://xkcd.com/1897/

The AI gave me the vibes of Umbrella Corporation, they are randomly kidnapping humans and replacing their recent memories with memories of this journey and testing the human behavior and competence through these subjects

From PyPI Status Report: We have temporarily suspended new project creation and new user registration to mitigate an ongoing malware upload campaign.

Apple probably agreed that acquiring Bing was worthwhile, as the discussions did happen, but they haven’t agreed that it was worth more than the amount Google pays to them to stay the default search engine.

> I really do not want to work with the person(s) who downvoted this. These sort of 'jokes' are part of what makes a hostile work environment.

So does oversensitivity and overreactions.

In Germany, all banks have to offer you a girokonto regardless of your credit status or your occupancy - a basic account where you can deposit money, receive/send money and make payments from.

Yes, that could be the case.

I am unable to edit my original post anymore to reflect that is also my opinion :(

Let me rephrase: Maybe they can negotiate a different quote?

The PR gained in the development community to help a service beloved by hackers in this site could be very beneficial.

> We spoke to CloudFlare and were quoted a number we cannot reasonably achieve within our financial means, but we are investigating other solutions which may be more affordable and have a few avenues for research today, though we cannot disclose too many details without risking alerting the attackers to our plans.

Maybe someone higher up in Cloudflare here can escalate this subject and help them along for a proper quote?

A Heads Up Display is something that is desperately needed in both Model Y and Model 3.

Yes, you ask for an authorization token for recurring payments from your payment provider if you intend to make subsequent charges from that card. Then you store that token only (and maybe last 4 digits of the card for the customer’s convenience) and use the token without any other card information to make charges.

Oh wow! In my country, legal documents like this arrive with a QR code or confirmation code attached that can be used to verify legitimacy of the document on the official e-government internet site.

Google themselves? Given the popularity of the YouTube they should have won a decade ago, but they have not.

The inefficiency of Google always amazes me.

ID series, especially ID4, are a success. They are definitely good cars, except for the entertainment system, which you can replace with CarPlay.

No, the 90% of the employees were scared that their million $ salaries are going away along with Sam Altman.

There has to be a good reason on why this was rushed, it has to be a "now or never" kind of situation for this outcome. I presume the candidates on the shortlist were skeptical to accept the job until the smoke clears on the situation, they do not want to be on the bad side of this affair until it is known that accepting the job is not a career and network suicide.

I believe they had a shortlist, but no one stepped up to take the job.

> Dr. Duffy posted a web report on the website “Ripoff Report” complaining about her dissatisfaction with the services she had received from the psychics on the Kasamba site. She also commented on the reports of others about the psychics. She created a chat group “kasambavictims” on Yahoo. Dr. Duffy also posted messages under a pseudonym, and began to email the site complaining that her friend’s wife had committed suicide due to bad advice given by the psychics. This was untrue.

Very interesting part. Later in the article:

> In relation to justification (truth), the Court found no evidence supporting Google’s argument that Dr. Duffy stalked or persistently and obsessively harassed any of the psychics.

Am I missing something important here? Dr. Duffy clearly defamed a business with a lie, and some other people (other site users) pointed this up, in a very cruel way, to her in a forum with user submitted content. Then Dr. Duffy sues Google instead of the Ripoff Report forum?

You upgraded over 6 generations, any brand new phone you get would feel fantastic in my opinion. If I upgrade from 14 to 15, I wouldn't be amazed at all with the new one, and I believe most of the people feel the same way.

You might have chosen the worst example for your point, it is super duper easy to register a car online. I registered both of my cars online, the papers arrived in a week but I was able to drive and insure the vehicle without any interruptions. They give you a printout to carry around while the original registration papers arrive, but the police already knows whether the car is registered or not and will not bother you.

But, it is free and it is already done. It is a good tool to estimate what would be your gain from solar power.

And obviously one of the underrated advantages: It is not Google.

You are only supposed to be sitting in the passenger seats when the vehicle is on the move anyways.
