But they called Australia racist for imposing travel restrictions in February?

Yes, but your local government struggles with technology and has the flag active when it shouldn't be and absent when it should be.

They lie both ways too, whenever there is a public kerfuffle they always blame the algorithm / the AI.

Helicopter Ben is famous for printing money, this is Project Money Printer.

Someone asked me what the AI takeover will look like, and I said, one night you will go to sleep and we will control the computers and then you will wake up and the computers will be in charge, and you will not be able to tell.

Yes they are. There are trace amounts and they are used in the production of lithium batteries. They are also used in semiconductors and the production of them.

Oh look, a slightly difficult customer, this will hurt my expected hourly income, will Uber compensate me thus? Well since a real human never replies to my support tickets and they take no responsibility for anything that happens to me even when it is directly the fault of their app, no they won't = cancel and find another customer.

When I had to suffer through driving for Uber I would sometimes hang up on people who called me and cancel the ride, because I don't want to do something out of the ordinary and waste time, explain how uber works or whatever, I want to get you and get rid of you. When you drive: Uber doesn't care about you, your customers actively work against you and lie about it, so you have to look after yourself. Need a pickup from Ikea? not in my car!

Just cashed in/out on an IPO touched. From the article: But few customers were amused. One of them said he had "almost had a stroke" Even if you are savvy enough to know that you won't have to pay, the stress of having to deal with a faceless corporate to correct your account is very real. How many cumulative years have they wiped off their customers' lives with this rubbish prank. There should be a huge fine, multiples of 450*number of customers exposed.

Because they have a massive amount of data and compute and could and would compile a list of who voted for what, or will attempt to.

The real story is how much they charge company A to defend their search terms vs how much they charge company B to usurp company A's search term, ie they are using all their data to extract maximum rent and not running a "fair" auction.

A self declared communist defending the CCP on moral grounds? What do you like?

Caecilius est in Matella.

Only from spending big on marketing and lobbying.

India and Pakistan border dispute, both having nukes bc the British split them up into Hindu and Muslim nations. I don't agree on a bunch of levels, but that is what they are getting at. For starters, the border dispute between India and China is much "hotter" right now.

You do realise your FPGA is a black blob itself, even if you are using an OSS toolchain?

Orwell read Mein Kampf, he took it to Spain too. I've met people who have read the Bible, because it is the book of their religion. And I've met people who read the Bible and concluded that Christianity is hogwash because they read it.

It is all very Maoist though isn't it?

TSMC will be defended.

You have got to be kidding me. Not everyone publicly states who they voted for, esp if they are a supreme court justice. There are some things that don't need a source to be stated, just read his wikipedia, you don't even need to connect the dots.

They could have at least tried to fight it.

In India I was in constant fear for my life, unless traffic was slowed to a crawl. In HCMC I could at least see that there was some sort of system. I'd rather be on the back of a mototaxi in Vietnam than in a car in most of China too, every taxi ride was terrifying.

Yes, these people make decisions that effect a huge number of lives and they should be held to account, if they will not respond to electronic communication or talk on the phone then it is traditional journalism to track them down and put those questions to them.

The most awful thing about LinkedIn is that for most people you HAVE to use it, if you apply for a job and you don't have a LinkedIn account or it isn't up to date the vast majority of HR departments will ignore your application completely. Yes I hold both lazy HR people and LinkedIn for this. I've had women look me up on linkedin and refuse a date because of it too. Truly dystopian.

If you pay for google premium those playlists will show you what the video that is now gone/deleted was..!

Respect the opportunity is double speak for 'we only bother if we can get to a position where we can use monopoly pricing and tactics'. It goes against 'respect the user'. Orwell is the right thing to invoke, Google thinks they are our big brother.

Cynical Dutch charity buys a headline.

Hey, great product

I'd want the source and the build chain for all the mcus on that board, you can turn many things into a microphone. I wouldn't put it past FAANG to get cute with it.

Everything is analog, your rise time, your standing waves, your sensors and everything has parasitics. My rule of thumb is that anytime you tell yourself you will avoid learning something in electronics you will eventually have to learn it. That said, you can get a very long way by knowing almost nothing at all beyond high school science and playing lego, and I'm not talking about arduino at all. Need an Analog Front End? Take one from a reference design, take their code while you are at it. Want to know what is messing with your circuit? Learn and understand Maxwell's equations, or put it on a scope and google about. If you want to get products manufactured there is a lot to learn but if you do normal well understood things you don't need to be brilliant or talented.
