Neat technology, but nonsense title. The Stethoscope is rarely used for something as specific as the heartbeat anymore. Listening to various body systems, though? That's where it finds use.

Are the lungs congested? Confirming what the sinus rhythm is showi?

Computers, for all their advancements are still diagnostic tools that need confirmation. They still give off false positives and miss things.

Yes, it talks about ownership, because the original poster talked about ownership.

Google hosts files, and thus needs to have some semblance of control over what actually is hosted on it, or they become liable for the same content.

Pirated material? Child pornography? etc. It all needs to be scanned and determined if it violates rights/laws and be dealt with.

Google has always done this automatically, because the sheer scale of content they host is overwhelming.

I totally understand the 'own everything' mentality that some hold. That's fair -- then host it yourself, encrypt it, and you can hold the key to your little kingdom. For most people, that isn't a factor.

To get back to the original claim -- they don't claim rights over what you post. It is yours. You just can't host other people's stuff. The definition of that is incredibly broad and largely commercial. 99% of people will never, ever run into the issue. 99% of the remaining 1% will discover it innocently (such as another poster trying to back up office). The remaining will already be versed enough to encrypt their data locally before uploading.

Google explicitly stated the exact opposite of what you've said here: Google Drive Terms of Service

It was... Once upon a time. Now those who drink coffee largely regard it as brown, burnt water.

Tim Hortons was once a magical place that lives up to the nostalgia fuel marketing that drives the franchise to this day. Every single store has actual bakers on staff who made the pastries, the coffee was genuinely fresh, and it seemed like staff were valued.

Then it got sold to the investment bankers and franchise conglomerates. It's been min/maxed to death, whittling down every cost to the bare minimum. Things taste like cardboard, and people go because it's there.

Interestingly enough, when McDonald's moved into the coffee game, they picked up the bean contract that Tim Hortons held for eons. Tim's dropped it for cost, and not an insignificant amount of people swapped over to McDonald's for their coffee.

It's articles like this that make me glad there are numerous horses in the race.

Autonomous driving is an incredibly complex problem. We have people like Musk who thought they could throw money at the problem and have it solved in a few years, with disastrous results.

We've lost Uber, and Cruise is flagging. Both had been touted as examples to follow. Both have had some serious safety problems from moving too quickly and lacking caution.

Behind all of this is Waymo. Plodding along, gathering vast amounts of data and experience and iterating slowly.

I think they, out of all these players, understand the stakes at hand, and the potential profit on the other end. But you have to get it right. It has to be nearly perfect, because people need to trust it, and our emotions are fickle.

Or, and hear me out here, they heard that the investigative committee was set to release their findings in 2 weeks, and wanted that process to work itself out first.

They are there in case things go sideways and we need to get Canadians out. You'd want people who are trained to make decisions quickly in a warzone and act independently in the midst of chaos.

NATO is not involved in this matter. This is an Israeli/Middle East conflict.

The headline is the least interesting part of the interview. Basically, everything is so curated and pre-planned, it's hardly a debate. The politicians are playing to TV.

His thoughts on decision making, national unity, and the state of the country were more interesting to me. Especially when he broke out of a partisan mindset. Particularly when he hints how media has become lazy in searching social media and blowing things up from a relatively minor part of the population, rather than doing journalistic work. When he was PM, those discussions happened in the community bar. If you weren't present, you missed the discussion entirely.

For the needs you described, you want to go with power efficiency. Check to make sure your quicksync version can handle h265, and you'll be fine

I'm genuinely confused how this is a thing. How are people rapidly pressing the power button 5 times in rapid succession without being aware of what they're doing?

Now adding a 3 second press after those 5 presses is solving the problem? Mine as well go back to opening the phone app and dialling the number.

For those late to the party, this is a day old already. The drivers have been pulled, pending an update.

To be fair, it seems that AMD is intercepting, modifying, and injecting code. That's not a false positive, that VAC working as intended.

What's wild is that AMD didn't have a conversation with Valve before releasing this. You can't go messing with someone else's code, particularly in such a highly competitive game, and not expect to screw some things up for players.
