I don't agree with your claim, but assuming you're right: Do you think that trying to solve "bad parenting" is less intrusive than cameras in robotaxis?

Among the reasons are that kids (and some adults) are idiots. That's it, it's not income inequality or rage at the system, some people just break things because they think it's funny. That's not something you can fix, s

On the contrary, we have a long history of evidence that when people think they aren't being watched, enough of them will do awful things. This is why public restrooms in the US are vandalized, why there are low effort graffiti tags al

People are awful when they think they aren't being watched, especially with communal or other people's property. It's why things are covered in lame low-effort graffiti tags, why bathroom mirrors have things scratched into t

Given that the models have been proactively hacking other companies, why does it matter where the code currently is? It could move to any of them.

I (and most users) don't care about that. Having a great app for YouTube and other services I use is far more important than being able to stream pirated content.

No, it's not. Let's start with the disclaimer that I work for Google, not the Android TV team, all words my own, etc. The Shield at launch was an amazing product - premium UX and hardware, premium price point. Google changed the

No, there really aren't. I turn on the device, the app in the upper left is selected and showing some content from that. The device sits idle, I get drone footage of landscapes. If I accidentally bump the wrong button on the remote and

by Arainach 10d ago
That doesn't follow. It's OK to say you wish a politician was dead. It's not OK to pay someone to kill them. It's OK to say that you support some criminal activity (let's say Luigi), but it's not OK to offer

If you believe in civil liberties as rights and ideals, your belief shouldn't stop at borders.

When people or companies do bad things, they're bad even if they get away with them. They should absolutely be blamed.

Blame free works with humans where you assume good intent. It's harmful and dangerous with corporations with a proven history of lying and disregard for human lives and well being. Especially ones with a record of developing and optimi

Agents (and humans) don't know what cleanups are safe or a good idea. They can get stuck in loops when different goals (conciseness, performance, etc.) clash. Their "improvements" can break things unintentionally. Targeted

Not if Quad9 is using DNSSEC, no. What's the specific threat you're envisioning? If it involves Quad9 themselves being malicious, what would DNSSEC on the forwarding prevent? This page explains how all of this works in detail: h

If a car owner loses their license, they keep driving without a license. It's also much harder to lose their license. CDLs are much easier to lose and your employer knows if you have one or not, so it's directly tied to your inco

This still amounts to "don't mix" which is far easier than unmixing once it's happened.

Yes, because the difficulties in separating integrated pieces have nothing to do with a merger. What makes splitting a company out difficult isn't (directly) a financial or paperwork burden - it's that tightly integrated systems a
