Seriously that's the most likely outcome here. Everyone on the ground gets detained and deported. And loses a bunch of money.

That can all be true, but this is still posturing and they haven't yet broken any laws.

That's where we can actually use technical solutions though: businesses shouldn't be able to place calls without cryptographically signing their origination with a key derived from their business registration. Phone calls are esse

You've tripped right over the difference though. Corporations aren't people. They do not and cannot present a personal threat to you. Even your trailing example falls flat on this: for the activity to be distressing you had to rec

"what if the government becomes a dictatorship" is a stupid question: you either stood up and opposed it, or you let it happen. My privacy is important as a matter of consent. But I should not have to hide my sexuality or identity

No I install security cameras as a deterrent measure to keep people at my door front measured in their interactions, particularly when it may just be my wife at home alone. They are mounted extremely obviously for this purpose. I greatly ho

But that's the point. It's not like a solar DC would suddenly lose power because of cloud cover. Large scale batteries can provide amble ride through inclement weather to allow a graceful shutdown, and weather forecasts at that sc

Datacenters literally have UPS power supplies to let them gracefully shutdown and start up. A 4 hour grid battery and a weather forecast would easily let a training run follow energy availability.

The citizens of South Korea might have some thoughts on that.

Which would be a vast improvement over the current system. Quite literally if the requirement was "your domain name will match your company registration in your jurisdiction" then that would help a lot .

You have absolutely no information on whether this is probable or likely, and the recent news on scientists was a conspiracy theory powered as usual by a cherry picking facts and exaggerating biographies. https://en.wikipedia.org

For a certain definition of "correctly" (namely: it doesn't, it just does what containers do and ships unique versions for every package).

Also supply contracts exist which is what started all this: OpenAI signed huge orders for most of the market all at once. No one had any chance to properly include that information in their pricing or bidding.

There are so many things wrong with this comparison I don't know where to start. But for starters, a US Navy missile destroyer can kill a satellite.

Fish also substantially limit the range, so no one comes out happy.

The US military over US territory are the only ones who can jam GPS at the scale being talked about. Anyone else firing up a jammer is going to get triangulated and arrested very quickly.

Which only matters to consumers. Businesses at scale have teams doing this stuff and costs matter. I've written on this before but Oxide are sitting in very narrow market segment in terms of value and I can't see how it's v

We've desperately needed secure identity verification for business callers for years, so we can start the decades long process of changing people's instincts about it. There's no good reason any business should be able to con

Yes and both those things aren't what I cook pasta in.

Even simple dangers like pinch points on joints or not stepping on curious pets are an issue. My son would adore a humanoid robot around the house, but could I leave him unsupervised around it?

That may be the case but the dishwasher uses less power and water then you do washing dishes. It's also not like I'm lacking for dishes that need hand washing anyway either: very large sauce pans, pots and chopping boards aren&#x2

I really wish we could just get a thermal imager integration for a stove which could catch a pot of boiling water about to boil over and back off the heat automatically.

The key there is you still notice it. The format is less important then the fact that there's enough signal there telling you "something is wrong".

Because legally then it's a copy and not a format conversion. This story has a lot of details left out and is a magnet for illinformed commentators: the reason the originals are destroyed is because it is legal to do so for the purpose

What do you imagine a rare book is? It's not the only extant copy of the writing in that book, in fact it's not even like it represents a significantly limited accessibility of that book.

No one is mining manganese from the sea floor. The whole idea was a CIA cover story for a mission to recover a sunken Soviet submarine that the Americans knew the location of but the Soviets didn't. They needed an explanation for a car
