The argument is that all you're doing is moving the carbon emissions from the car directly in your vicinity to the coal-fired power plant a long distance away. Move that same coal-fired power plant into the sealed room, and suddenly it's no longer far away, and the "unclean" nature of the electric car, so the thought process goes, becomes obvious.

Major demographic collapse is already happening around the world, it's just that it happens in very, very slow motion. You can see examples of just how slow-motion by looking at Japan and South Korea, or China with the ripple effects of the one-child policy only now starting to be observed en masse. Same with many countries in Europe, like Italy and Greece. The US would be experiencing it in slow motion right now, but we make up for the difference through immigration.

Yes, and ads should be regulated regardless of whether the service is free or not. Same way you can't put outright porn on a highway billboard.

Or, hear me out, they were born in a place without their consent, raised in that place as a minor without their consent, and now are not financially or physically capable of leaving that place on their own.

Not @RemindMe@programming.dev , but here's your one-year reminder.

Okay, let's be generous and give you the benefit of the doubt. What would you consider to be an unbiased, credible source of factual information? Be specific. You're the one putting out the blame, before you say anything along the lines of "it's not my job to educate you" or "do your own research". You're the one making the claim of bias.

No hard feelings when I get the order to round up your kids to put into the camps after Führer Trump gives the signal, right? I'll just be following orders, and don't worry, work will set you free someday! I'm sure the dead Palestinians from our nuclear launch will thank you from the afterlife for sticking it to The Man.

Sounds like we didn't use enough then, if you're still here.

Yeah, instead we should put troops on the ground and invade the West Bank with our own soldiers and start bombing kindergartens directly! Hooyah, second Trump Presidency here we go! /s

And would you consider officers in the military "commoners"? Senior NCOs casually talking about the "woke" and how they should be rounded up? If someone in your life casually said "you know, I'm not a racist, but we need to round up all these X and", is that of any concern to you? Are you putting yourself in the category of "commoner"?

Security company ADT disclosed in an SEC filing that hackers obtained “some limited customer information, including email addresses, phone numbers and postal addresses.” TechCrunch reports that ADT’s disclosure follows a seller on a cybercrime forum claiming last week that they had obtained more than 30,000 stolen ADT customer records.

A direct quote from the finance minister of Israel today: "Nobody will let us cause 2 million civilians to die of hunger, even though it might be justified and moral, until our hostages are returned."

 

Google researchers have come out with a new paper that warns that generative AI is ruining vast swaths of the internet with fake content — which is painfully ironic because Google has been hard at work pushing the same technology to its enormous user base.

Back in the 90s, Jeff Bezos went on record as hoping his employees would wake up on the wrong side of the bed—for the greater good, or for the customer at the very least.

It’s almost laughable that these two stories happened so close to one another. The Australian government has just announced a pilot program to test an online age verification system

And then, just hours later, it was reported that law enforcement is investigating an apparent breach of club and bar patrons’ personal data, which the venues are required to collect by law for people entering such establishments.

When we talk about the privacy and data risks of age verification, this is exactly the kind of thing we’re talking about. When you’re collecting that much sensitive private data, you become a target.

When Spotify announced its largest-ever round of layoffs in December, CEO Daniel Ek hailed a new age of efficiency at the streaming giant. But four months on, it seems he and his executives weren’t prepared for how tough filling in for 1,500 axed workers would be.

The music streamer enjoyed record quarterly profits of €168 million ($179 million) in the first three months of 2024, enjoying double-digit revenue growth to €3.6 billion ($3.8 billion) in the process.

However, the company failed to hit its guidance on profitability and monthly active user growth.
