I enjoy how this comment seems to counter what another commenter said about you.

It’s hardly a smear to point of a bias or perspective you hold. I’m not commenting on you, your politics, or worldview. Just pointing out that others should do their own research.

But if that is smearing in your perspective, and that makes me a ‘lib’, alright.

I agree with you. Disagreement in views isn’t a comment about an individual themselves.

That doesn’t change a pattern of posting and comments that are distinctly pro-Russian, pro-China.

Just be aware this poster is often posting pro-Russian, pro-China content. There’s value in other points of view and not being myopic, but if you pay attention to posting trends or look at their history, there is a clear bias and/or agenda.

They refused to send a model and asked him not to review until the new software was out. So they knew. He bought one anyway.

👍 Precisely.

Don’t encourage the behaviour. As the saying goes… Give a man a fish and you’ve fed him for a day… Teach a man to fish and you’ve fed him for life.

This a huge step back for transparency with Meta (shocker). Access to this data is important for a variety of reasons, and using the recent EU laws as an excuse is deplorable (again, shocker from Meta).

It’s clear the data companies were left alone for too long to rule the schoolyard. It’s going to take some time to treat them and others what decorum looks like without throwing an absolute hissy fit.

Here’s hoping the EU, which seems to be the only teacher on the playground willing to discipline anyone, will set them straight.

😂 As a Canuck, we use both. But the computer term is definitely Kernel. Unless we’re marching out on a battlefield…

Someone give this writer a raise for not using AI to describe a new algorithm.

I’d imagine it’s scant on details because it’s still a theory. The next phase of the competition is funds to build a proof of concept.

Wireless switches — consisting of a transmitter on the switch and a receiver near a light fixture or other appliance — have been around for many years, and have been proven that they can reduce the material and labour cost for wiring houses, says Kambiz Moez, director of electrical engineering in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, but they require batteries to operate.

So the product already exists, what is novel here is a concept to harvest RF energy I stead of batteries.

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

If you read through the stories that define them, it makes a lot more sense. Blood and sacrifice are intertwined with life and righteousness. God is holy and set apart, and can’t be in the presence of less – so their lives and habits are built around remaining in relationship to their God.

So the careful handling of death, food, and blood makes perfect sense from that worldview, whether you personally agree with it or not.

What I like about this posturing is that the big tech dogs have given up trying to fight the EU. They know that the law makers are serious about enforcing their rules, and the market/fines are too large to ignore.

They’ve moved fully over trying to circumvent the law, or get exemptions. Historically, the EU has not been kind to that either.

Might be a play on the word “see” here.

Wars are distant things to North America. A product that is viewed only through glass or a screen. There has never been conventional war on modern north American soil, so it is something people go to, but not a devastation that really affects day to day life.

I’d liken the attitude more to Hollywood movies: an export of American (US) culture.

So the understanding that this is people’s literal homes. That life is finite, and war is atrocious is disconnected. I can watch Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers, Black Hawk Down, etc. to get a taste of war, but when I’m done with it, I want it to resolve and be over.

That’s not possible for Ukrainians. Their country is still occupied. The devastation on their land will continue for decades.

Even if they crash through the lines next week, and sweep aside Russian defences like dust there are decades of rebuilding and de-mining ahead.

The cultural West must be willing to be in that journey every step of the way, or we risk another radicalized generation in the future that heard the promises, but lived the broken actions.

All in my opinion, of course, from the safety of my home.

It’s an interesting product of a western world that hasnt really seen war in 70 years. It’s always been far away.

We seek instant gratification, when in reality these are people’s lives. It should move slowly, especially against heavily mined positions. I’m wondering if we’ll see much progress until the F-16s enter the field to gain air support for the ground troops.
