You've tripped right over the difference though. Corporations aren't people. They do not and cannot present a personal threat to you. Even your trailing example falls flat on this:…

"what if the government becomes a dictatorship" is a stupid question: you either stood up and opposed it, or you let it happen. My privacy is important as a matter of consent. But …

No I install security cameras as a deterrent measure to keep people at my door front measured in their interactions, particularly when it may just be my wife at home alone. They ar…

> Of course, now that video editing is cheap and difficult to spot, who knows if your evidence will make much of a difference There's a pretty substantial legal difference between …

The glorious day in the future when Oauth is confined to the dust bin of history and logging in to anything doesn't require a web browser redirecting 10 times.

But that's the point. It's not like a solar DC would suddenly lose power because of cloud cover. Large scale batteries can provide amble ride through inclement weather to allow a g…

Datacenters literally have UPS power supplies to let them gracefully shutdown and start up. A 4 hour grid battery and a weather forecast would easily let a training run follow ener…

The citizens of South Korea might have some thoughts on that.

Which would be a vast improvement over the current system. Quite literally if the requirement was "your domain name will match your company registration in your jurisdiction" then …

You have absolutely no information on whether this is probable or likely, and the recent news on scientists was a conspiracy theory powered as usual by a cherry picking facts and e…

For a certain definition of "correctly" (namely: it doesn't, it just does what containers do and ships unique versions for every package).

Also supply contracts exist which is what started all this: OpenAI signed huge orders for most of the market all at once. No one had any chance to properly include that information…

i.e. "every complicated problem has a solution which is simple, elegant and wrong "

There are so many things wrong with this comparison I don't know where to start. But for starters, a US Navy missile destroyer can kill a satellite.

Fish also substantially limit the range, so no one comes out happy.

The US military over US territory are the only ones who can jam GPS at the scale being talked about. Anyone else firing up a jammer is going to get triangulated and arrested very q…

Which only matters to consumers. Businesses at scale have teams doing this stuff and costs matter. I've written on this before but Oxide are sitting in very narrow market segment i…

We've desperately needed secure identity verification for business callers for years, so we can start the decades long process of changing people's instincts about it. There's no g…

Yes and both those things aren't what I cook pasta in.

Even simple dangers like pinch points on joints or not stepping on curious pets are an issue. My son would adore a humanoid robot around the house, but could I leave him unsupervis…

That may be the case but the dishwasher uses less power and water then you do washing dishes. It's also not like I'm lacking for dishes that need hand washing anyway either: very l…

I really wish we could just get a thermal imager integration for a stove which could catch a pot of boiling water about to boil over and back off the heat automatically.

Except that isn't really why it happened: iot being Internet tied is because it's much, much easier to get devices to work when you control at least one side of the server with ski…
