You've seen movies before. You know that they can make fake videos look realistic. We have an entire industry built around it, so why is it only a harm now?

You go to an online store to buy a hard drive. It's listed as "in stock" and you buy it and pay for it. A week later you get an email from the store that the specific hard drive is now available at a third party warehouse and

This is my understanding: * Microsoft collects timestamped GDID - IP address combinations at some interval. * Other Service (eg your website) collects timestamped IP address data. Combine the above and you can tell which GDID visited the se

He did do the "can't sell GPUs to Poland*" move when he was on his way out though. Separating countries into "tier 1" and "tier 2" was a pretty bad look, especially when a bunch of European countries that

I don't get it. How does every device combo having a unique key pair help with security? They can all log in, right? So all you need is to compromise their session and you're in, whether they share the same passkey or not. And if

Can any of these studies actually show measurable results in something like PISA? Because "studies show" during the replication crisis is not convincing when the effect doesn't seem to show up in actual test scores. You can e

Because we're already limiting their freedom we should limit their freedom some more? What logic is this?

Any actual reasons or are we limiting them just because? Vibe based governance? My parents were sure that sitting too close to a TV ruined your eyesight. Should we get a law that forces people to sit at least X meters from the TV? Personall

Do we have any actual evidence that this significantly improves things? For example, can we expect Czech PISA scores to go up by 50 points from this change? Or is this one of those "it feels like it should be good, therefore it'

Does it work fine though? Because I haven't even heard of Google Keep, let alone have it installed. If I need to take some notes I can't even imagine going to search through a store to find a note taking application since that sho

I don't open my phone for notes or paint either, but sometimes I really need it. And then I am endlessly frustrated that the stuff we do get by default has half-baked functionality. For example, the gallery app's image editor on m

Even as a teenager the singularity didn't make sense to me. Why would AI capabilities suddenly improve by an astronomical amount? It's still going to be running on hardware and software that we (humans) design. Even if AI reached

I find this hard to believe considering how bad the UIs are on phones and TVs. Even google.com does not offer feature parity between their desktop and mobile websites. My phone still didn't come with a functional paint or notepad apps.

That's true, but it didn't really happen because of these excise taxes though. Tesla didn't come from Europe as a response to high gasoline prices.

We've been paying hefty excise taxes on gasoline in Europe for decades . Yet nothing has changed. Environmentalists still have the exact same demands and supposedly nothing positive has come from this. It has just made everything more

I'm surprised that the EU keeps doing this, because every time they do this it pushes more people into the anti-EU camp. That's what the "anti terminator legislation" might end up being.

Then maybe they should stop doing things that invite this nonsense? We've already been down the road of the EU mandating ISPs save all your browsing history with the Data Retention Directive. At this point the EU has to prove that they
