There's a brand new AI law too. You'd likely need explicit consent of these people to have their personal data (face) processed by AI.

No, not in the AI space. Disagree that you can be successful by avoiding risk and conserving resources.

If all you're doing is building a project management app, yeah it's easy to be profitable. The trick is when you're trying to take risks and innovate. It took Amazon a long time to be profitable. It took Uber a long time to b

I loved my little TI-99/4A... I used to lay down in the living room and transcribe BASIC from COMPUTE! magazine into it, and customize them, and that's how I learned to program.

It sounds like they suspect someone who helped design the original Pokemon trading card game - Takumi Akabane. A prominent investor claims to have gotten the cards directly from him and doesn't care if they're fake as a result. Ma

There is no concept in American Law of "acquiring stolen stuff legally". If you buy something that was stolen, the original owner has the right to get it back without compensation to you.

This "just let people steal your stuff, it's not worth pursuing" logic is fine for some, not fine for others. Also, thieves are dumb. Don't expect them to find all the tracking devices in minutes.

What's fascinating to me is how they're going to call this a success when the mission is over. I get that there are things that you can only test in space, and so they are testing. But if these astronauts get back, does Boeing the

Suggesting the community raise funds on behalf of a tech worker who gave up stock options by quitting is an odd idea. He's likely well off and flooded with job offers. Maybe there are actual advocacy groups out there that need the mone

Since Apple apologized for the ad, it seems they, too, agree that it wasn't a good ad. They wouldn't apologize for something if there were nothing wrong with it. Personally, it was too real. It was CGI, sure. But that hydraulic pr

Canada doesn't really have any other industries other than real estate. Oil and mining, sure. But after that, four of the top 8 industries are centered around real estate.
