What qualifies as AI generated? If a human writes it then has AI improve/fix it, does that count? How do you tell which is the case? If we don't allow AI help at all, is that perha…

Looks like the intended use case here is you buy the cartridge once, and refill it, and OpenPrinter won't lock you out after doing so like HP does.

but if facebook/google are the buyers, they do not violate this law... the law seems to focus on the sale & giving of this data... not the reception. This means that they just need…

Will this have reach and teeth though? I can imagine loopholes to this... nothing stops facebook/google from buying this data from companies not in Massachusetts? and facebook/goog…

Really cool! But right as it was nearing 4,000, it seems to have corrupted itself and no longer got any scores above 0. Not sure if that's a code bug or a neural net issue. avg500 …

I would argue that the request was invalid in the first place. If I see a flash on a speed camera operated by a business on behalf of a police department, your argument states I sh…

I think you're going to have a hard time with this... Flock seems to leave the data in ownership of the government. They are just providing the service of being custodians for stor…

I had a similar push years ago, but I did take this approach once step further. For a similar reason Jeff mentions -- lower maintenance over time. I was frustrated that (because my…

Molten salt solar power doesn't care. It remains hot. Advancements in solar also are improving with clouds. Also, you know, batteries. When someone makes it cost effective to insta…

What you describe sounds more like keeping your assets a secret... and if you feel defeated because the government can know, how do you feel about hiring an accountant? Or executin…
