We need regulation of AI because something on the Internet could confuse or mislead someone? Not every potential problem needs a law to protect us. What things is AI doing that existing laws against fraud aren't protecting us from?
Wait until Vox finds out about alcohol and marijuana...
Seriously though, too much of anything is an issue and gambling is no exception. Even eating can have terrible health effects. And lack of sufficient exercise is quite bad for you too.
Could it be a problem for some people? Yes, of course. Is it their choice? Yes, it is. Putting it in perspective, it's yet another personal choice that can have a dramatic impact on your quality of life, and if you have a family to support, theirs as well.
Teams for sure is a worse experience than slack. Why Microsoft chose to separate teams and chats in the UI is one of the biggest wastes of time each day. Several seconds to switch between them. Arg... Wish someone had a more viable FedRAMP compliant competitor to office365.
The whole concept of reducing interest rates was to encourage borrowing and discourage saving, to get money moving. Naturally this was into more risky investments as pretty much everything is more risky than savings accounts, bonds, and not borrowing money at all.
This! The altimeters with issues are not operating to their design specs. No one noticed until 5g apparently but imo it’s on the altimeters, and not 5g, if they aren’t properly rejecting out of band noise/energy.
This is a crazy take on responsibility. It isn't Europe's responsibility when people decide to take unsafe passage on the sea and drown. Could they do more? Yes, I'm sure they could, but are they directly responsible for drownings? No, this is too far.
I'd argue the same for Kiwi Farms. If people are cyber-bullying (ie, reaching out to people and harassing them) then those people should be addressed. Arguing that any speech you or someone else deems "hurtful" or "hateful" should be banned is nuts, since no one has to go and read those words, its an opt-in process. AND, if people can disagree about whether something is really "hateful" then its even more difficult to justify taking action simply for communication of ideas that we find offensive.
CloudFlare is in a tough spot that they put themselves in. If they'd like to avoid legislation then they've got to be the pipe, not the moderator. Once they switch to moderator they are responsible for all moderation. They can't pick and choose. Imo they'd be better served by acting as a utility and staying out of the moderation game. We've already seen a ton of attacks on free speech by powerful Internet companies, in the US at least the 1st amendment (freedom of speech) needs a defender like CF to help.
This isn't caused by investors, they simply see the value in owning and renting to those that aren't interested or capable of outright ownership.
The price increases seen in the market are driven by the rising cost of energy, materials, and the lowering value of the dollar through inflation.
If governments, state and local, were receptive to construction, you'd see the market compensate for higher prices with increased supply. With building heavily regulated in many areas you've got government driving prices up through their limits on supply.
Does anyone know what they do for malware and virus detection / protection? There are a lot of commercial products but they are all quite opaque in how they work, vendors don't discuss the cpu/latency impacts of their solutions (or perhaps they don't know what these impacts even are...). Would be great to know if there was something or what approaches Google takes to protect themselves and their employees.
Excellent writeup and great to see the fixes upstreamed, all driven by a new use case that perhaps was beyond the magnitude of previous import efforts.
I use one of those Philips rotary electric shavers and while it doesn't get nearly as close it also lets me get hundreds or more shaves before I finally give in and get a new set of blades. I even wonder if the fact that the blades are against the metal shield means they effectively self sharpen, since it goes so many shaves.
I'm amazed there is so much waste with these exposed blade shaving systems. Even if they could be sharpened and re-used a dozen times you'd cut the waste down to 1/10th....
Wait until people find out about the effectiveness of wearing masks on preventing covid infection and spread...
I noticed Phenylephrine didn't work at all for me a handful of years ago after the pseudoephedrine swap occurred. Did a web search and turned up the same info here.
At the time it was amazing to me that these products were being sold.
This is a great article and I applaud the author for trying to get these products pulled or replaced with something effective.
If this is what your job is encouraging then just wow. The engineers that I've seen be most productive are the ones pushing the design approaches and identifying gaps in the approach and tasks etc.
