No, it’s shocking that the destroyed evidence after being explicitly instructed not to.

It is for us plebs, look up adverse inference

I mean no, but also… yes? Like having a one person dev team is a little ridiculous for a game selling as well as Manor Lords. 50 people is a lot, but do you really think the game would have less features a year from now if the dev hired like 3 people to help?

Obviously development would slow down in the short term, but a one person dev team is asking for disaster

What’s NVidia seeing in the gaming space? Or do they conflate gaming and ML sales?

Not US corporation good, just US corporation = US controlled. This isn’t a morality play, it’s a national security play.

Well China is refusing to divest, i.e. sell it to a US owner so clearly that’s not an option for them. If it was about the money they would have.

For now

You’re assuming its a profit-focused endeavor rather than a propaganda arm of the Chinese government.

Apparently TikTok sent out push notifications telling users to call their representatives. Minors were being provided instructions with their representatives’ phone numbers and contact info, but didn’t even know who they were calling and were asking basic questions like “What is Congress?”

Kind of shows the amount of power TikTok has over American youth.

Libertarians think they’re smarter than everyone else and never wonder why the fence is there in the first place.

Not just “remain visible” - actively promoted. There’s a reason people talk about Youtube’s right-wing content pipeline. If you start watching anything male-oriented, Youtube will start slowly promoting more and more right-wing content to you until you’re watching Ben Shaprio and Andrew Tate

Everyone’s commenting on their books but twitch’s published numbers are all bullshit pretending they’re paying market rate for AWS when they obviously get a deal being a subsidiary of Amazon. IIRC their last attempt to show they needed to up prices even had them using non-bulk AWS rates which they obviously wouldn’t pay even if they werent owned by Amazon.

Netflix recently stopped me from casting to my tv from my phone, which used to work fine

But does Netflix even have good movies? Like I think it’d be easier to do exactly that but on HBO Max or Disney Plus, or a TV show on Hulu.

I’m sure the baggers would rather be employed rather than laid off. I’d rather have the money go to a bagger than the CEO’s pockets.

If it has such a small effect, why is Apple so hell-bent on stopping it?

Turns out even under socialism, I’d still rather have someone else scan and bag my things.

Not a win for the shopper, who now has to scan and bag their own items. Not a win for the now laid-off cashier who is unemployed. Only a win for the company, which has gained free labor.

How about we:

1. Don’t let random customers test it and instead use heavily trained, specialized test drivers
2. Require permitting and, e.g., an obstacle course before letting a company’s software be randomly updated and thrown on the road?

Why is there this constant false dichotomy implying that the only way to test self driving cars is a wild west of no regulation?

And also who said that self driving cars are safer than humans? Tesla’s numbers are all statistical lies (in fact Teslas were recently shown to have the most accidents), Cruise just shutdown in SF because they were a liability, and Waymo is heavily limited in its time/weather/areas for driving.

So like what’s the actual deal with pirating content nowadays? I remember in the early 2000s it was don’t seed and don’t torrent just-released content and you won’t get caught. Are the companies more rigorous nowadays? Are they going after people and you really do need a VPN? Can you torrent content at a human-watchable pace (like a show or two a month, maybe a movie or two a week) and no one’s going to notice you?
