The first claim in the article states that early death and taxation that is the cost saving (and other claims refute that). Taxation is probably the major method of discouraging cigarette usage. So even if you accept the argument that smo

Always headlines when this happens, but shutting down production like this is what Toyota believes is part of their magic sauce. They lose productivity when a problem shuts them down, but most of the time when things are working they gain d

A lot of the Toyota methodologies ended up in various agile software practices. Not so much operations of a live system, but development practices. For example, all your teams push their changes to an integration branch which is automatical

Alas, decisions need to be made today when hindsight is only available tomorrow.

You don't. Just like before generative AI responses. If accuracy is required, you have to check the citations and make a judgement call. And no, people generally won't do that just like they didn't do that before.

Given historical and prehistorical evidence, I think it fair to say that even in the cases where humans were not responsible, it was not through lack of trying. Human societies gorged themselves until they had to adapt to scarcity, at which

I think most user data will be completely useless for AI training. No context, no quality control. Even assuming wisdom of crowds and on average you get the correct answer, you are training an AI to give a mediocre response. Back in the day

You are demonstrating that power is distributed, which many consider a good thing. Checks and balances and all that. What would be worse than the media having too much control is the media having no control.

It is a tragedy of the commons. My Internet is shittier because other people are trying to monetize it. Same as my back yard and the air I breath.

Fraud against paying customers, if they can demonstrate they wouldn't have paid if the company didn't lie. Also competitors if they can demonstrate they lost business due to the lie.

Nothing stops anyone from lying to you. In this case it would be considered fraud if the lie was discovered or leaked. Which is one of the rationales on why courts cannot compel a company to lie and post false warrant canaries, because it w

Not in 1997. And they still don't sell the PHEV in my region in 2023, just the non-EV hybrids.

This is pure spin. Toyota cannot make this claim for every region in the world where they sell cars. It is especially disingenuous when they have been pushing their hydrogen vehicles and there is not enough hydrogen production either, in an

Yes, other distributed databases like MongoDB, CockroachDB, probably a few others. Or even multi-master DB setups. As with Cassandra, you don't want to use them unless you really need that availability and can suffer the downsides. It

There is always a better solution than Cassandra, until your data will no longer fit on a single server or you actually need guaranteed availability.

We do cull cats. With numbers in the millions killing billions of native animals per year and already contributing to many extinctions, nothing is going to work except for science fiction bioweapons. Discussion and research is more around

Grasses plant themselves and taken over from much of the native vegetation. We do like to cut down trees and clear bushland though. Every new cow paddock is also a kangaroo paddock.
