well that’s embarrassing. for you.

But there’s a difference between me saying “i don’t care if this company uses my data” and a government being concerned that that data - even data I “don’t care about” - is much more likely to be used or leverageable for geopolitical advantage. Caveat emptor doesn’t really apply given the kinds of concerns involved.

Three Kings. Three Kings! (and a whole bunch of others as others have noted)

I feel kinda bad for people who’ve never had a decent, relatable, quality of life driven CEO. They exist. They’re not even that hard to find, really, in my experience. But if you stay somewhere where you don’t believe the management cares about you (keeping in mind it’s also their job to care about what you’re all…

For anyone who feels comfy with highschool level matrix algebra and and a little trig, I highly recommend “Quantum Computing for Everyone” by Chris Bernhardt which covers the series of experiments and goes through the math and proofs that explain quantum theory, entanglement, how qubits work and the basics of quantum…

“Say hello to my Leto friend!”

kind of ironic as services like tiktok, reels, etc actively fight to prevent your brain from working in any kind of way I’d consider important to being a well developed adult: having an actual attention span, valuing context in source of entertainment/information, resisting the allure of in-group circle jerks, etc

it wouldn’t matter if this was her kids. if doing what feels best puts a whole bunch of other people at risk (who also have people they love) then it’s the wrong thing to do, full stop. doing the right thing means being mature and not being selfish about what gives you the greatest emotional gain. it’s not for nothing…

yes, the article states they are not unattractive, or bad to drive

dude, welcome to comics. it’s “nanoboytes” according to my 2 seconds due diligence, which I find is a useful thing to do before you try and correct somebody

the equivilent “number” cards have been getting more expensive, but it’s a little misleading without adjusting for inflation. the 780 is $877 in today dollars

while it certainly can and will be used to “replace human labor”, this is a desirable quality in some aspects of game development to generate temporary/placeholder/mood assets that gets thrown away during development after prototypes are proven or while programming is waiting on more final assets. the artists don’t…

yah, they bribed politicians to introduce a voluntary option for a license plate that the driver has to pay for

“NHTSA considers a crash to be speeding-related if any driver in the crash was charged with a speeding-related offense or if a police officer indicated that racing, driving too fast for conditions, or exceeding the posted speed limit was a contributing factor in the crash.” (https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/…

If you are not carrying a beacon then you just make sure you cross at the stoplights where you’re supposed to cross in the first place.

ok

In service of “perfect is the enemy of good” any system which limits a person from attaining a speed over what is safe in the best of conditions on a given route doesn’t make it worthless, just better than no limit at all, if not as good as something that factors in the other conditions you mention. Being able to come…

“Everyone already has a smart phone.”

“Speed is a factor” means that at a lower, presumably legal speed, it would be reasonable to assume for there to have been enough time for a driver to react and make a corrective action (be it change course, stop, etc.) What you’re describing is simply the fact that a collision requires at least one vehicle to have a…

I seriously doubt the “data is skewed” to any degree that isn’t within the acknowledged margin of error for the dataset used. You don’t know how they got their data. You don’t know how they vetted their data. You don’t know what margin of error they accounted for in their analysis. It’s not like engineers and…
