Plus interest makes no sense and is unnessary. Adjusting for inflation is so the person can buy the same movie at today's prices. At that point, the person is made more than whole already because they got to see the movie for free and

Technicians are constantly behind in work. Many data centers are pulling 24/7/365 shifts to keep up with demand. Larger data centers have hundreds of full time employees. Yes many servers are left in fail over states for long peri

Data centers require lots of technicians to install, maintain, and decommission servers. Who do you think installs those video cards?

So just double your cloud bill for several few weeks, costing site like GitHub millions of dollars? How do you handle duplicate requests to external services? Are you going to run credit cards twice? Send emails twice? If not, how do you kn

At least in the short term, I think the economics will prevent stores from using this for marketing data. Operating these drones has to very, very expensive and I don't think knowing about your driving habits for a few miles is worth t

When the shopping cart was first introduced to grocery stores, nobody wanted to use it. People preferred to continue lugging around heavy baskets rather than push a cart. Actors had to be hired to walk around the stores pushing them around

Only looking at home prices compared to salary is very misleading because it doesn't account for changes in interest rates. Mortgages were almost 20% interest in the 80s. Cheaper doesn't mean much if you still can't afford t

Correct but theyre saying the headlines are wrong because the statistic that they use is not accounting for people that are reluctantly part time, but they're not mentioning that there is a statistic that does track that and that stati

Honestly, this is a completely bogus interview that is at best, misleading, and at worst, outright lies. > Well, all that is absolutely true, but sadly it’s even worse than that. What it doesn’t account for is people who have a piece of

I think Google search and apples ecosystem are extremely different. Google search is trivial to leave, any one can switch to bing by just typing a different address in the URL bar. Switching off of apple products is painful and difficult an

I don't think that's a fair comparison because they're fulfilling substantially different niches. Gemini is a conversational model that can generate images, but is mainly designed for text. Stable Diffusion is only for images

IMO this is paranoid behavior and not healthy. Part of existing in society is having reasonable trust that just because someone can take advantage of you in a moment, doesn't mean they're going to. You're getting in an argum

The issue isn't of potential illegal use, it's an issue of explicit illegal use. The camera description specifically describes how it can be used for illegal purposes. There's a huge difference between selling "stump rem

Nothing I said disagrees with your statement. In fact, I specifically said they could do better. My point is that it's wrong to say google drive is easy to build or maintain.

I'm not defending google or saying they haven't done anything wrong here, but it is insanely hard to make Google drive. I very much doubt Google drive has a staff of any where near 100k employees and it's probably the largest

I think that's an incorrect oversimplification. The Internet didn't grow from ARPANET like a seed grows into a tree. ARPANET didn't become bigger and bigger until it became the Internet. The Internet was the merger of many ne

That's a false equivalency. The military invented a network that inspired the Internet. We're not all using ARPANET to send emails.
