I suspect at some point in the next 5-15 years we will begin to see AI generated entertainment perfectly tailored to a person's preferences.

I believe the individual you responded to is stating that from a moral perspective it's murder, not from a legal perspective. I would agree with them as well.

I say this having never driven a Tesla, but are they really suitable rental cars? My understanding is that Tesla vehicles differ quite a bit from regular ICE vehicles, to the point that there's a bit of a learning curve to operating the car.

I'd be interested to hear from a Tesla owner on this. Maybe it's a non-issue.

Off topic, but Bill Bryson is such a fantastic author.

I'm kicking myself for not going for a job there in the past! I know/knew quite a few people who work for Verafin, and I've heard it's a great place to work.

This is fantastic news for Verafin, and, like you said, will have a huge impact on the local economy of the St. John's area. It's nice to hear some good news for our area for a change. I look forward to watching the software industry in the area unfold over the next few years.

It's great to hear that their headquarters is going to remain in St. John's as well, I feared the worst when I initially read the headline.

I only used Chrome Remote Desktop for the first time two weeks ago. I was blown away how easy it was the setup and how well it worked.

SMS Backup+? I totally agree, I wish I could opt out as well. Having my text messages and phone call log backed up to Gmail with this app has come in handy so many times since I started using it in 2012.

I don't have an Alexa myself, I'm a Google Home user. One thing that's always impressed me is the ability of Alexa to order things from Amazon just by issuing voice commands. Although, I'm sure that comes with its own host of problems, especially if you're not just ordering a generic product.

In your experience do they drive differently than any other car on the road? If a vehicle around you was powered by Waymo with no markings stating as much would you know (ignoring the fact of an empty driver's seat)?

Please don't post if you don't have anything to add, or a valid question to ask. If you feel like posting memes Reddit is a better medium for that.

As with all Apple products, I'm sure Apple will iterate on this and keep making a better product until it can rival Google Home and Amazon Echo. It seems quite often that Apple first generation of new products (huge exception for the original iPhone) can't really compete with competitors, but very quickly, in two or three generations, they end up with the best product on the market.

Although what really surprised me in this article is that Google Home only has 14% of the market share while Amazon Echo has 73%. I had assumed that their market shares were much closer, but according to the article Echo is out selling Google Home more than 5 to 1!

Really? I've looked for something like this in the past for my driveway, but come up empty handed. Are you able to share any of the product names with me? I would love to have something like this.

No kidding! I recently picked up lock picking as a hobby, and it really makes me realize just how insecure most locks really are. I'm a total beginner and I'm able to pick some locks in seconds.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one. I was very confused for a moment after reading that comment. Never seen the acronym "SF" used for science fiction before.

I'm not the parent poster, but I believe the parent was referencing the fact that Opera now uses the same rendering engine as Chrome/Chromium.

I haven't used Opera since they changed rendering engines, so I can't comment beyond that.
