  • Right, so the imperative to consume less power inspired the innovation needed to make it ultimately viable in the long term. Rather than people being left to consume infinite resources without a care in the world. Let's hope that the imperative to be efficient and not use all resources all the time inspires this to also becoming viably efficient rather than regulators/officials just allowing it to spin out of control.

  • If someone wants to use a vibrator that consumes an entire city's worth of yearly energy consumption each day then I'd say that they shouldn't be allowed to do that. Making excessive energy consumption prohibitively expensive goes some way towards discouraging this at least.

  • Who the fuck wants this...? Besides the company raking in venture capital money.

  • Oh good... janky oversold systems that do a lot of automation on a very shaky basis are also having high impacts when screwing up.

    Also "Facewatch" is such an awful sounding company.

  • It's not an overly sustainable service at the scale it is running.

  • If that's what you're trying to express then I kind of feel like you miswrote your comment. You want them to focus on browser features but not continue to add features? You don't feel like there's any room for confusion there?

  • The proportion of good content to bad content has taken a steep nosedive to be sure.

  • If by "forgiveness" you mean an avoidance of legal liability, sure. :P

  • A small subset of the electorate sure, made fearful... by grifters, agenda led news, and arms manufacturers who want to sell them guns.

  • Unwilling due to their fear. Of their donors, of their electorate, of losing control. Pick your poison.

  • Corporations are as callous and mechanical as they have always been, with an ever expanding range of tools to exploit. They will do anything and everything they can unless it is less profitable to do it.

  • Okay.

  • The implication being that this is the deal that the AI boom is offering, it's not necessarily an endorsement of that philosophy by the writer.

  • "We need you to reconsider... because we already did it and we're just looking for your stamp of approval after the fact."

  • What an amazing feature!

    For Microsoft...

  • Their chance to do what...? This was always about handing them a gravy train.

  • How many knives can a disaffected teen carry/throw per minute?

    I wouldn't seek to downplay how much damage a sufficiently motivated individual with a knife can do in a short space of time, but it is certainly orders of magnitude lower than a firearm in most cases.

  • I didn't call her bluff, so who's to say.

    It's comparatively low, but you take about the level of crime you have I guess, rather than crime you could have. I don't hold much hope for whatever bizarre Frankenstein's government is next in charge of the country, but we'll have to cross that channel when we come to it.

  • And before anyone says it, the only person to menace me with a knife has been my partner... and I think she was joking.
