Accepted, I wouldn't want to be solely dependant on a supercharger. I'm not even sure I need a supercharger. Has to be home-charging for me. It's possible, at this point in time, that maybe you aren't the demographic. I

Hmm, in my case, not at all. Depends on your location and use case. In my London situation, 95% of my journeys will be within 50 miles easily. I imagine it's more of an issue in the US and similar.

"in all likelihood" ... the key bit. The US, for example, is one presidency away from complete democratic failure. By which I mean all that data, which now is effectively, "in all likelihood", private via volume, can and

The funny thing is that your "disturbing trend" has been the status quo for a long time and not far from a more efficient version of the Communist despotism you fear. Also, your statement that the "democratized political envi

It's ok ... we'll all just build walls. No, not just walls. Higher walls. And more of them. More, more. more. Olympic level eye roll Sorry, Monday morning is not the best time for this topic.

Archaeologically, in the centuries to come, this will either explain a lot, or condemn us. Excuse my colourful language, the DM is a shit newspaper ... understandably excluded from fact based discussions.

I didn't say it was unrelated. But given the light and dark elements to data operations within many countries, I'd imagine you might be the one possibly being naive.

Thanks for the link, I don't doubt that. But I meant specifically on the point of data-handling. Some Russian hackers or spooks vs American hackers and the NSA, etc The UK sucks just as bad. The current PM has just announced plans to r

Honest comment. As a neutral (UK), it's a tough call as to which country I'd prefer in this scenario. In terms of data, I imagine the US to be just as bad if not much worse (my prejudice) than Russia. Someone can school me on this

My heart agrees with you ... it is. But I watched a couple of episodes a few weeks ago (yikes!)

The irony, of course, is that it was branded a social-utility. Anything but.

Ditto to the ditto to the dit-tt-o. Down vote me all anyone likes for this inane I have to totally agree with this absolute truth.

>>I have heard the same old tired tale that facebook is dying etc For those who no longer use FB, it is dead. I feel good about that. I didn't even have to attend the funeral. YMMV

>>"we’re committed to making VR a positive place for all". Please ... they can't even do that for simple 2d enviroments. VR isn't some magic that'll fix that. I won't have anything to do with FB in it&#x2

No, we need 1) transferable data and history. 2) user accounts/networks/friends which can interface Then social networks become actual utilities instead of the branded "utility" walled-garden bullshit Facebook is current

Not knowing enough about this, my first impression is: How does Federated Learning cope with ... FAKE NEWS! (for example).

You're right, of course. It's possible I'm still pining for my perfectly set-up Google Reader account which I cannot quite replicate. That still hurts! RSS felt ubiquitous (to me) back then. Anyway, to the point, try using RS

by XJOKOLAT 9y ago
History should be decentralized too, then. Who remembers RSS feeds? I miss those days. We should have some superior spin on that but for social networks. Imagine Facebook, but your history/data were your own property. A friend would fi

It's not the platform, it's the content. I feel maybe you haven't been lucky enough to find your content-suppliers. There's some gold there in the nooks and crannies.

Who would sell their home in a foreign currency? You're stating weirdly (imo, wrongly) You would sell your home in sterling. Sterling has been devalued. If you then wanted to act internationally, you would be curtailed to the tune of 2

Hedged sterling. Looking to move medium term. Bored of this place.

My wages, the value of my home, are now worth 20% less. If you're ok with that, good for you. I'm not. My access to the EU faces being curtailed (not just travel inconvenience, but the permanent movement of my family). If you&#x27
