When did you last visit the Fry's in Renton? I was there yesterday and it's pretty grim. Here's a description from one of the employees: https://frysforum.com/discussion/5261/my-store-is-going-down..

I'd consider those products safe since Google is completely dependent on them internally.

> if I could pay to have the spying/data gathering turned off, like the Kindles offer with ads/no ads What makes you think that paying to disable ads also disables data gathering? Does Amazon say this?

Assuming you're transferring a bunch of small files with `scp -r`? Try piping tar over ssh instead; it can be much faster for such use cases. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/10026/how-can-i-bes...

MUAs have widely supported HTML emails for decades, and yet Amazon still includes a text/plain part with their order confirmation emails.

Or, maybe Amazon will helpfully add an alert to your order receipt when the shipment is unexpectedly delayed? At any rate, the other MIME parts aren't gone. In gmail you can just click "show HTML message".

Nobody said the emails aren't scanned; they're just not used as context for ads. Obviously they're scanned, otherwise spam filtering wouldn't be possible.

I think I'd prefer a 9 AM sunrise in the winter over the 4:11 AM sunrise that we'd currently be having if we were on standard time in the summer.

That discussion seems to indicate that 1) it was a console/UI issue (not a service outage), and 2) it was actually resolved within the day but the final incident update came 3 days later.

Which presentation did you watch? Karpathy said specifically "it's not a massive amount of data, it's just very well picked data" when talking about how the cars only send data when one of the configured triggers fires.

Listen to some binaural audio samples with headphones. You can't get that effect with stereo speakers since they're too far away from your ears. https://youtu.be/aQH-jwE_kfo
