So, about 1 and a half hours per European every year? That's pretty good to avoid gifting my data to adtech shitheads

It's interesting that they picked Amazon Go as an example of the power of AI (or ML) when in actuality most of the grunt work in those stores is done by "dumb" sensors AFAIK. The store "knows" that an item has been picked up from a certain shelf and thus it assumes that the item is what is usually on that shelf, it has little to do with either CV or AI in general, just careful placement of the items and weight sensing. I think that if you let a few kids roam free in there picking stuff up and setting it down in an unexpected place the magic of AI would dissolve into thin air.

What the other commenter said is absolutely true, but what's even more important is that 3080 doesn't seem to support SLI so you're "stuck" with one 3090 with that budget (which seems to be the only card supporting SLI this gen).

How can it track social connections when the codes are anonymous by default and can be deanonymized only with an OTP code you generate yourself?

Why would it need to account for wall/floors? Two phones will exchange codes when they are less than 1m away, you would have to try very hard to get two people as close as 1m with a wall in between

Also consider the fact that 5 mods control 92 of the top 500 subreddits.

Now imagine if a handful of people controlled 1/5th of the top 500 twitter accounts, instagram accounts, facebook pages

I think you should totally track the .it TLD, it's the Italian one but works wonderfully for word plays in English (and if iirc I've seen a few websites taking advantage of it). Some straightforward examples that come to mind would be buy.it, ship.it, design.it etc., you name(.)it ;)

Edit: also, being the Italian TLD I'm guessing quite a few English words are still available

Gdpr 100% applies here to any user residing in the EU, and as one I find it appalling that this is opt-out. Further, I couldn't find an option to delete my account, which is another clear violation of GDPR. I wonder how long before they get hit with a juicy fine.

How is Europe setting itself back compared to other superpowers? If anything, by enforcing privacy by design and default it is setting itself up to become the best place on earth to live if you give any value to your personal information
