when? It started when we accepted a world where companies could shovel T&Cs at us and pretend it means anything. It worsend when we accepted that companies could change those terms at any time.

We really need laws protecting consumers from "data collection for advertising". It should be a default no with a requirement for explicit opt-in /and with no legal way for companies to charge less for the advertising model/. In fact, customers who agree to the advertising model should be able to get profit sharing revenue.

One can only hope that the next administration will not only embrace the ICC, but willingly hand over Trump and his advisors to it and let them do what they will. Exceptional handling for an exceptional administration.

How does the argument go? If they haven't done anything wrong, they have nothing to worry about. Heh.

most startup founders can't suck trump's dick with enough money to make him give a shit about their needs. Society gets what it allows.

they mean keeping their board/investors safe from scraping. that's all.

Sounds like what my eye doc says when he busts the laser out for medical work on my eye. His work creates blank spots in my FOV. Not noticeable at all walking around, but they make detail vision difficult. Everything from artistic project work to seeing the center dot on screen in a shooter, and it makes refractory vision checks to figure out my Rx near impossible. The letters in the eyechart just disappear unless can catch them peripherally.

Making blank spots in the sky between the observer and the observed is something I suspect won't really be an improvement. It likely to make the problem less noticable (eg. no more b-roll of streaks in the sky to upset people) and, probably, more of a challenge to mitigate.

Is the starlink constellation profitable on its on without any cross subsidization from any other Musk endeavor?

From the SpaceX S-1: "For launches of our Starlink satellites, the Company does not recognize any inter-segment revenue, rather those launch costs are capitalized in satellites in Property, plant, and equipment, net." In plain terms: SpaceX's rocket division charges outside customers roughly $102 million per Falcon 9 launch — but it charges Starlink $0.

SpaceX appears to be heavily subsidizing Starlink in the launch cost sense.

There is a mix of clever and sketchy accounting going on in Muskworld making it hard to see which elements profitable/sustainable and what isn't.

The death of real news, at least in the United States, was money and venture capital. AI is just one thing attempting to fill the gap. There hasn't been real news in America for a decade or more. It happened well before AI was on the scene.

To me, there is no difference between AI fake news, podcasts as news, influencers "informing", or celebrity talking heads streaming commentary about current events. Its all garbage. Whether OpenAI computers make it up, or a podcaster presents their opinion as fact, the result is the same. We are all susceptible to being influenced by it as if it were news.

after the inevitable loss of life due to a spaceflight event (everything breaks eventually), he's likely to deny that spacex had anything to do with it.

another data heist brewing.

The usual long period between elections and inauguration is going to create a massive window for data exfiltration and the only people empowered to police it and any evidence that it occurrred are the people most likely to be stealing the data.

The tension is that the abuse is far more likely than any value these cameras bring.

And what is commonly rare in a country of 342 million? Prairie Grove, Illinois has 1930 people and he did this to at least 3 people according to the report. .15% of the population. If you extrapolate that out to the national population, its roughly 520k people. Or, the entire population of Sacramento, Ca, being victimized by law enforcement with a surveillance power they should never have been allowed to have.

Imagine what Musk can do with all the SSA and Tax data he stole in the most blatant and underreported data heist in history.

- polls can manipulate people to give the answer a pollster wants.

- half of everyone is below average.

- americans, unbelievably, voted to re-elect Trump.

The fact that 16 percent of americans are short-sited, ignorant and speak in contradiction to their best interests should surprise no one.

no. but it seems possible, or even likely, that they used the pictures to train targeting for military drones (think Project Insight from Captain America:Winter Soldier).

I'm not sure privacy violations are the biggest concern here.

This is about as intelligent and practical as banning school kids in the 80s from using calculators, based the logic that "you won't always have one with you".

A US Court making a self-referential ruling that sustains the power of the lawyer class? I'm SHOCKED.

This should move the exact opposite direction. I am compelled to sign, acknowledge, approve or otherwise indicate that I've read and will comply with so many things that it is 100% meaningless. Furthermore, I assume that whatever legal jargon i'm being presented with benefits the other party and distinctly puts me at risk. In day to day life, just sign "mickey mouse" at every signature box, form or document you are asked to sign. It will make no difference at all.
