- estimator7292I have some very bad news for you about the kinds of light emitted by the sun and also your oven
- Sure but won't this case set precedent that all manufacturers are bound to by law?
If this case succeeds, suing Visio on the same charges would be a cakewalk.
- Why do we care about this type of sentencing to poverty and not every other way we condemn our citizens to poverty, homelessness, starvation, and death?
Maybe that shouldn't be the only alternative in our society
- It's the same everywhere. It seems like police have just stopped enforcing traffic laws. Multiple times per week someone runs the red light in front of my local police station, in full view of an officer in their car, and nothing ever happens. Same with the multiple near-misses I see every week. They don't care, and since there are no consequences, there are no longer any traffic laws. Couple that with the mass psychosis afflicting the US, nobody seems to care about anything and just drive as fast and hard as they want to, and fuck absolutely everyone else.
- The same way an LED is not a solar panel. It will give you some voltage, but basically a rounding error above zero.
Antenna are about capturing energy over macro scale areas. This atom is measuring electromagnetic oscillation at a particular point in space. Technically you can recover a signal, but only a rounding error above the noise floor. It doesn't capture energy.
- No noteworthy impact at all. The NTP network has hundreds to thousands of redundant servers and hundreds of redundant reference clocks.
The network will route around the damage with no real effects. Maybe a few microseconds of jitter as you have to ask a more distant server for the time.
- Because a shared cultural identity is vital to maintain a cohesive society that can muster the collective resources to get shit done?
The world is shaped by psychology and the actions of a very very few individuals at the peak of their respective societies. Material conditions merely enable success brought by cultural motivation.
Your argument really only holds water if you consider all humans to be fungible worker drones and that culture doesn't exist. The human factor is the critical factor in all of history. Material wealth does not magically produce innovation. The Romans could have started the industrial revolution a thousand years earlier, they had effectively unlimited resources. They simply lacked the cultural spark to pursue that line of research and industry. They even literally invented a steam engine a thousand years before modern times.
- Bad. Bad bad bad.
- Mozilla could instead stop giving all the google money to a CEO who only knows how to say "me too! AI too!"
Maybe hire some engineers instead?
- If you read the other posts about this, the author explains that the phone technically still works, but you can't access iMessage or anything. Probably basic text and calls only.
- Banks frequently completely freeze accounts for no discernable reason and with zero communication, support, or recourse.
You're just lucky that it hasn't happened to you. That does not mean it doesn't happen to anyone.
- At my high school it was bomb threats. At least two or three a year
- They have not shown any hints that they understand developers since Ballmer
- I think half the problem was the proposed Amazon acquisition. I was actually very seriously considering one of the newest Roomba models at the time it was announced. I decided to buy another brand because I knew amazon would 100% use it to spy on me.
Now instead China is using it to spy on people. Glad I didn't buy one I guess.
- It sure as hell isn't a per-minute cost
- Large sums of money are typically how we measure influence in the modern day.
- I don't give a shit about the specifics. I don't want AI in my browser period.
Yes, AI is already in Firefox. That does not on any way make more AI any less unacceptable.
I don't want to opt out. I don't want to dismiss nags. I don't want to fuck around with internal configs and hope that the options do what they say (they often don't).
I want a browser that renders websites. That's it. Anything else is detracting from Firefox's core value proposition: being a good web browser.
I want a web browser. I do not want, need, nor am I interested in entertaining an ""AI browser"", whatever the hell that even means. I want to browse the goddamn web, not interact with "AI". We've had AI shoved into literally every conceivable corner of every piece of software. Nobody, nobody needs more AI in more places. We have ten million ways to access AI in absolutely every other program.
Just give me a fucking web browser. This is not that complicated.
- BBSes and forums have existed for literally longer than the internet
- At this point I think it's entirely expected that a capitalist corporation will gleefully ignore any and all external consequences
- Because the orbits largely aren't 3D. These constellations orbit at the same altitude. Altitude changes are very expensive because you can't just go "up", you have to go "forward" faster. "Down" means slowing your orbit.
Two objects at different altitudes cannot maintain the same speed and relative positions. A higher orbit necessarily must have a higher velocity than a lower orbit. If you try to distribute your constellation across multiple orbital altitudes they'll slowly drift out of sync without constant thrust.
So these constellations trace out different and intersecting paths across the surface of the same sphere, not a 3D shell around that sphere.
