Part of the worry is all the used GPUs that are going to come on the market since it doesn't make sense to mine anymore (or less sense). Their core business will be depressed until that is worked through

Pigs are actually great pets. They've been domesticated practically as long as dogs

I think he's talking about when you are in turn by turn directions you can get into a mode where there is no way to get out. You need to throw away the app to get out.

This is a Tesla issue. Waymo uses Lidar and most likely won't run into walls.

I think this is proper usage of "by design". The design part is that it uses a camera and low resolution radar and can see lanes and other cars and not obstacles. So this is an unintended edge case but the result is per the design.

I've had it not find an email that I know exists. When I go track it down and then search again it finds it.

>> You can drive your car and not wipe off your windshield

This. When I was a kid in California a quick trip in summer and it would be carnage on the window and grill. Now I can drive for hours and not get a single bug. Part of this could be increasing traffic. But it is really dramatic and scary.

Not just them but my buddy calls his Jeep SUV a "truck". Some of this is history. I have an original Jeep Cherokee which is built on a truck platform. His is a Grand, which is built on a car platform. I'm always like, yours is a car, mine's a truck. Then I realize this is dumb to argue about. Just a bad headline.

Well, we are in a "post-privacy" world already. At least in the US. I'm not OK with that. I'm ok with the concept of anonymized targeted ads, but also realize that this attitude enabled bad actors and loose regulation to tear down that wall.

I struggled with this initially with FB and then decided all posts would be public. Never post anything that I wouldn't want public, and not allow on my timeline posts from other people that I don't want public (I know there are limits to this).

Targeted ads are fine to me. My bigger concern is the vast amount of data sharing on the back end that is easily non-anonymized and FB is a huge part of the problem.

They are not. F150, SUVs, Crossovers still selling. Headline was a bit off

Renters do vote (I'm a renter, rent a house in Oakland, before that rented a place in San Francisco for 13 years). Buuuuuuuuuuut, that place was rent controlled. So it didn't seem like an issue to me. SB827 would have made my Bart commute worse but it seemed like the right thing to do.

Also, it's not being made to be serviceable.

Agreed. In my understanding the CA data wasn't a friends list, which it what OFA got, but your friends Facebook data (their photos, posts, likes AND their friends data). That's how they got to 50M users. And how they used it sounds pretty different too.

I'm not sure if you consider this "mission critical" but US military drones use GPS for navigation. There have been several cases of them being captured via GPS jamming.
