I think we should expect EFF being on higher moral ground.

That's kinda what we are paying them to be, no?

Google is just a for profit company.

Still not giving the other side and using "dangerous" and other "think of the children" terms triggers my bullshit and what are you hiding detector. And the only thing vouching for them is their reputation.

Speaking of reputation EFF has been doing this shady speak for last few years and my respect for them is quite diminished. I suppose they can still do it because they have practicality a monopoly to "protect privacy online" with Apple being a distant second player.

It might be a business decision.

More reliability means slower development speed. If you are on the same ballpark as your competition, better invest in development speed than being 10x more reliable.

Because? You could specify any formula you want. Including lookup tables. If you can describe it, the shader can render it.

Still TJ decided it's fine to continue running their store with this crap being set up Or they might have been in the dark until people started complaining.

Anyhow this totally involves TJ and they will need to do something about it, as more customers will get pissed.

Which case is that?

This. If US government on your things to worry about list, you host in Russia Cloud or China Cloud. Or roll your own data center in some non US allied country.

Then perhaps a no left turn sign?

It seems that they did not do anything illegal, so not sure what you are proposing to litigate?

Lobbying lawmakers is a basic practice that happens all the time. And a law is not right on its own right, there is always supporters and detractors. Just that we agree as a society yo abide by the laws we currently have.

If anything we should invest in more public awareness to make sure strong privacy requirements are signed into the law.

On the other hand, strong privacy laws is a sizable buerocratic burden on the society. So we should be cautious to not over regulate. Laws are difficult to change or revoke even if they are found ineffective or too stringent later on.

A high trust environment where most of the players do the right thing without the buerocracy and enforcement is way more efficient.

Or more biased, depends on which side you are.

IMHO this is sensationalist "think of the children" piece.

There are a ton of other ways to get a gun illegally, this is just the cheapest and least reliable one. Without knowing the denominator, the numbers are useless. Also very much doubt that the traceability of legal guns is that useful.

IMO not practical and not needed, just add an import duty from countries without carbon tax to price in the externalities. And the market will figure it out.

The duty can be a flat rate or an average emissions per economic output for the country.

Could be seem as cannon negative, since the carbon is permanently captured in the steel.

It's still a fossil fuel though. Not emitting climate affecting gasses one but still.

Turns out releasing hydrogen in the atmosphere has some greenhouse effects: http://www.ghgonline.org/otherhydrogen.htm

So raising a child in very suboptimal conditions is high chance of child turning criminal later on. Or parents dropping put of school to provide for the child. It can well be argued both ways.

The electricity is also generally unreliable in developing countries, so it might be just good enough.

Another angle: there is a huge non-public industry of cataloging all the public and not so public information. Available to whoever is ready to pay.

Public indexes is just the surface of the iceberg. And regulating them down would just be more profit for the pay-to-play.

Both of you are correct.

As a parent (in Switzerland of all places) I actually consider this a very good option for kids struggling. And took the opportunity for one of our kids and it worked out great.

Edit: Switzerland has a different approach where children are segregated by their ability starting from 7th school year. So you go to Gymnasium, A level, B level, C level.

I suppose GP is referring to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_Identification_Code And https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/EURion_constellation

Using all the senses would not solve the problem. Vision is the only one with enough resolution to matter.

That said: - way cheaper - more reliable - less power hungry - simpler and easier to debug.

The implication is that noone wants to work those jobs anymore and the options are to either import illegal workers being paid below minimal wage or replace by robots.

You can rent a 32 TPUv3 pod from Google Cloud at $32 per hour. So 128 pod would be roughly 150 per hour. $1K gives you 8 hours of training time.

There will always be an enterprise and LTS versions without online requirement

Google was forced to do that because sites where screaming google is stealing their traffic by linking directly to images.

Once DDG is big enough, they will be forced to do the same.

Not even that, the certs where from California offices, just that the testing work was carried out in a China branch office.

IMO this is a somewhat grey area. Not familiar with regulations around testing labs, but om the surface looks like an innocent cost optimization that someone decided to put some pressure on.

How about lettuce, carrots, eggs, etc? Just because their reaction times are slower does not mean they are not suffering?

The truth is humans are wired to gauge the level of environmental danger by looking for personably relatable aggression events. And there is a practical limit how low we should go. Also with living more dense, humans are gotten way better at handling various aggressive stimuli, like noise, air pollution, constant close interaction. We have stopped treating them as aggression, but it still is for the rest of life on this rock.

That test is still responsible for 30% of debris up there. And is scattered across quite a wide band of orbital altitudes.

It's basic tribe psychology.

At times of stress we seek out the enemy. And external imaginary enemy is always easier to accept than internal or god forbid a bad habit that we are all guilty of.

Yeah, just have your own theme park company, that manages your private mansion. All business expenses, you are just a janitor.
