But does Netflix even have good movies? Like I think it’d be easier to do exactly that but on HBO Max or Disney Plus, or a TV show on Hulu.

I’m sure the baggers would rather be employed rather than laid off. I’d rather have the money go to a bagger than the CEO’s pockets.

If it has such a small effect, why is Apple so hell-bent on stopping it?

Turns out even under socialism, I’d still rather have someone else scan and bag my things.

Not a win for the shopper, who now has to scan and bag their own items. Not a win for the now laid-off cashier who is unemployed. Only a win for the company, which has gained free labor.

How about we:

1. Don’t let random customers test it and instead use heavily trained, specialized test drivers
2. Require permitting and, e.g., an obstacle course before letting a company’s software be randomly updated and thrown on the road?

Why is there this constant false dichotomy implying that the only way to test self driving cars is a wild west of no regulation?

And also who said that self driving cars are safer than humans? Tesla’s numbers are all statistical lies (in fact Teslas were recently shown to have the most accidents), Cruise just shutdown in SF because they were a liability, and Waymo is heavily limited in its time/weather/areas for driving.

How do you use it as a laptop replacement? What tasks are you doing on it that would otherwise be done on a laptop? I feel like its too small, it would only replace phone tasks for me.

So like what’s the actual deal with pirating content nowadays? I remember in the early 2000s it was don’t seed and don’t torrent just-released content and you won’t get caught. Are the companies more rigorous nowadays? Are they going after people and you really do need a VPN? Can you torrent content at a human-watchable pace (like a show or two a month, maybe a movie or two a week) and no one’s going to notice you?

They used to do that for a handful of shows due to streaming contracts, but last time I checked (~2019) it was literally two shows. Is it more now?

Lina Khan is staking her career on this one, but the way the US judiciary looks there’s no way Amazon suffers.

I still use Chrome when I need to Chromecast, any way around that?

Reddit admins note: "you’ll receive a new shiny badge on your profile indicating you’re in the program and can earn cash! "

Hoping that reddit mods have the balls to auto-delete all posts from users who are approved for the monetization system. Knowing that they won’t, I’m waiting for the Firefox extension and Revanced patch that auto-censor posts by those users.

Of course reddit will quickly remove that visibility.

That’s not accurate, they don’t stop your benefits when you hit the cancel button. I just cancelled today and have my benefits until the end of my yearly subscription in November.

Do ISPs actively encourage you to watch extremist content? Do they push that content toward people who are at risk of radicalization to get extra money?

Exactly, you can’t just drive without verifying that you’re a safe driver. That’s why we have a process to get a driver’s license. Has Autopilot passed licensing?

Doesn’t the fact that a technology is fundamentally discriminatory mean we should question the use of that technology? Not just shrug our shoulders and say too bad?

Google absolutely uses article texts. If you search on Google, you’ll see the “People also ask” section which might paraphrase your question, and then use sections of direct text from articles to answer your question.

Facebook often has article summaries as well, but I’m unsure whether those are posted by the organization itself or by Facebook.

Are the Google executives the ones that are going to write it?

People keep forgetting that every recall is a fix for a bug/problem in the car. Sure, Tesla’s fixes might be easier, but that also means they have the buggier car. Until Tesla actually fixes the problem, it doesn’t matter how easy it is to fix: you still have to deal with the fallout.

That’s even more immensely true for safety-critical systems like cars. Sure, Tesla’s fix for phantom braking might eventually come and it might be an easy software fix. But wouldn’t you just rather get a car without that problem?
