There is no passport or social security number or mailing address for the internet. Google can't tell you a definite proof they will accept because none exists, especially since copyright can be claimed on something as trivial as a lin

False DMCA takedown requests have always been a problem, and have massively surged in the last few years when more of the general public figured out the mechanics and started treating it as a big downvote button for the internet. This is al

Every single attempt at lifelike autonomous hardware over the last few decades has been a bottomless money pit, and despite all the recent advances the entire field is yet to be proven. A partnership with a robotics company is probably th

I have a very hard time understanding the business case for xAI/Grok. It is supposedly worth $200 billion (at least by Silicon Valley math), putting it in the company of OpenAI and Anthropic, but like...Who is using it? What is it go

That distinction doesn't really exist. You have to pay employees. You have to pay for equipment. You have to pay for office space. And the countless other costs of running a company. There's no way they can realistically say "

Seems weird to ask for donations for game preservation without pledging to release the games under an open license. Why would I give you money so you can go buy a game and then turn around and sell it back to me?

That's how copyright law works. There's no "use it or lose it" provision. Once you create something it is yours, and others only get rights to it 70-100+ years later.

I leave this comment whenever a new game with this "one game a day" model pops up: You are not Wordle. You are never going to recreate the virality of of Wordle. The artificial restriction on gameplay does not help you because 99.

It isn't within 15% of Tesla in price. Not even close. BYD models start at like $10K, and the cheapest BYD Sedan is $15K. The cheapest Model 3 meanwhile will be around $35-40K depending on the inventory around you.

USA has 340 million people. "Outside the US" has ~8 billion. So Tesla selling more cars outside the US isn't by itself a crazy achievement. China was supposed to be Tesla's next big market after US and Europe but sales t

The only thing I remember about Peek is how they sold "lifetime service" with the device for an extra $300 or so and a couple years later went "sike! Your device isn't supported on our network anymore".

Everyone - not just America - hates AI, because it has now become clear that the tool isn't a way to empower the masses (as it was initially sold) but instead to move power and wealth up the ladder. Automated (shit) customer support.

Not too surprising. Most vinyl records come with a digital download code. So you can still listen to it on your phone or wheverever else, and have a nice collectable to go with it.
