The only reason i signed up in the first place was so I could keep using youtube. I didn't then, and don't know, need another social media site. Plus, like nearly everything else google makes*, was a UI/IX train wreck. I don't think I ever used it other than to track someone down a couple times.

* Google flights is an exception to this. They almost ruined it with their recent upgrade, but they have been tweaking it (and actually making it better) for a few months and it continues to be pretty great.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again (and again) Anyone trash-talking Teslas is suffering from the lack of one critical bit of experience: THEY HAVEN'T DRIVEN ONE.
And when you raise your price to $10, i (or my algorithm) will sell smokies for $4, and I'll buy another smokie cart to place on a nearby corner... yours!
And the $10 smokie vendor goes out of business.
This is the more likely scenario. Doesn't seem anti-consumer to me!
In this case, it would only be collusion if the algorithms shared data privately between themselves, rather than scraping the competitors' pricing from their 'gas station signs'. If the AIs are getting the same data as the general public, it's a free market, right? Or am i missing something?
I'm a rich liberal and I fucking LOVE doilar tree and 99c only stores. They are always my first stop for hair products, reading glasses, iphone cables, iphone cases, cleaning supplies and microfiber towels (for washing my tesla, natch) Sure, I could afford to pay 4 bucks or more for these things, but why would any rational person do that when they can be had for a dollar. I've never bought food there (other than those yummy Droste orange chocolate apples and halloween candy) but if i did i don't think it would make me poor.
I thought0 Dollar Tree was privately held but i see they are on NASDAQ... Are they disruptive? Yup. Are they awesome? YUP! Do they bring poverty to neighborhoods? Hail no!

This scam isn't limited to the military... They called me, and I am not in the military and i'm not on dating sites. And, of course, i dont send pictures of my junk to people. Based what the guy said I figure they got my info off facebook. He told me $500 would cover my "transgressions" or else. I told him to "Bring it, bitch" and never heard from him again.
The best solution would be to mandate data sharing and portability. If my friend wants to use Facebook and I want Bookface then they should talk to each other and we should be able to communicate.
Make it like email, where you can choose your provider more or less freely.
Wait, a minute ago we wanted to STOP data sharing and portability.
I worry more that government by representative democracy has become unworkable. We need drastic action, and quickly. I don't know what it is.... I have wondered out loud before if we should form a third legislative body, a sort of jail where we put people from either existing house when they stonewall, change the rules,. obstruct, etc. How we choose who to put in there is a question, essentially whoever behaves badly (by some objective measure) goes to jail for a year. Or slash a legislator's vote value to half a vote!
Now I know how *I* identify obstructionist legislators but someone smarter than me needs to find a way to do it objectively. Whatever it is, there needs to some incentive for legislators to compromise and make some progress. The penalty for not doing so should be severe, (It used to be that they weren't re-elected but clearly that no longer works. Voters now reward obstructionist behavior)
Or maybe we should just get an AI to run/be the congress.
I reserve the right to make this more coherent later... end of sermon!
The problem here is twofold. One, it's being oversold by salespeople. Two, the engineers have it backwards, the systems should back up the driver, the driver shouldn't back up the systems.
Except that Tesla doesn't have dealers, or hype-spewing salespeople.... I ordered mine on the web, an incredibly pleasant experience compared to the last car I bought, when I was grabbed and threatened by the salesperson for advising my then-girlfriend to forgo the $535 antirust coating and the $350 gap insurance on her Honda Civic.
I still maintain that anyone who shorted tesla didn't bother driving one before they banked on failure.
I have one of these cameras and so far it's recorded a couple knock-knock thieves, my BMW M3 getting stolen (yanked onto a flatbed and gone in under 60 seconds) and also captured the boyfriend of a girl I know making out with another girl while they were alone on my porch.
It's also exposed my ring-using neighbors as a (virtually) huddled bunch of paranoid slut shaming racists who aren't aware of due process, or even innocent until proven guilty.
It really is disgusting.
I'm getting rid of my Ring, mostly because it's too unreliable. It often just stops working and doesnt respond to anything for days (i did everything tech support asked and more) It's not a bad idea, the ring thing (and its been around for at least a year so this is not really news) I will miss being about to see whos at the door but i won't miss hearing my neighbors whine about ever pedestrian that passes theie houses.
YES! After reading Rucker's books, oh, about a million times (and a few million more from Iain Banks) And several episodes of general anesthesia, (and, yes, ketamine) I am pretty much convinced that I *could* be wetware-switched at night, while asleep, and i would still be me in the morning.
If my consciousness is the sum of my experiences (what else could it be) then the replicant who wakes up in the morning with the contents of my brain IS me. It will remember yesterday, just as I would, and it will want the same things for tomorrow that I do. It took a long time for this to sink in, and i dont expect anyone to be convinced, but I totally trust the new guy to keep walking in my shoes. Hopefully he's younger and better looking than I.

Circles? So what. Facebook has groups. Is there any difference?
Anyone who says "circles are round" is dangerous and depraved and ought to be taken outside and shot!

My 2013 P85+ has over 100K kilometers on it and the range is almost 400 km., about 92% of the new car range. So, that.
Sorry chickens.

fyi (and take note, Jay Z) cops cannot detain you, even for 30 seconds, if they are waiting for the K9 to show up.
