The AI bubble is basically driven by animism. Primitive beliefs do not go away easily, so that utter nonsense may continue to be around for quite a while.
Just correlating stuff without understanding does not work and can only succeed by chance. Understanding, however, remains firmly in the hands of humans, machines have not even demonstrated they may potentially one day far in the future have any say in that.
So you think punishing somebody innocent is the solution to this problem? Because, you know, they only release people without charge if they have absolutely nothing on them...
Well, countries and "authorities" should never be trusted in the least. They they have to be watched carefully and have to be kicked hard regularly to remind them that it is not their place to tell people how to live and what to think. If the population of a country forgets that, they get fascism sooner or later, as can nicely be observed at this time in many places.
You know, "Facebook" is not the Internet. It is in fact a rather small contributor only. Anybody can put up their own website and content on their own server (with dynamic DNS if needed), a rented server or rented web-space.
QoS really only works in the sending direction the way the Internet is set up today. So it would absolutely have to kill download speeds for a real effect. It would basically have to keep TCP reliably in slow-start and that makes it really, really slow. What it can improve is the impact of uploads.
Bottom line: Bullshit. Or rather an attempt to get the money of the uninformed. Apparently it is even going to work.
It will definitely be interesting to see what happens. My personal expectation is that it will kill the console market, but do not a lot to the gaming PC. I may be completely wrong, of course.
The assurances GPS gives are public. They are pretty bad. The usual reality you get is pretty good. Also there are documented instances of GPS having been degrades. So actual reality does handily destroy your theoretical argument. Not that it was really good in the first place.
You are a brexiteer? Fascinating. It is rare to watch people commit economic suicide and be proud of it. Free-trade areas are something you move heaven and earth to get _into_. They are not something you ever want to leave.
Well, we will see. In the end, this will probably be a bit more expensive than $20/month, because they actually have to finance more hardware than you would need to (except screen). That is unless they find oodles of people that then do not actually use the service. Otherwise I really prefer to have the performance of my somewhat older gaming set-up even on Saturday evening and not have to share with others.
Indeed. The only situation where this may help (but is not assured to) is if they upload oodles of data while playing online reaction games. But if they do that, then the core problem is between keyboard and chair.
The whole thing is completely ridiculous bullshit.
Networking gear is not a factor in gaming. This is probably for the morons that think their reflexes and visual cortex are fast enough that 120Hz displays or 1000Hz keyboards make a difference. They do not.
Indeed. This whole thing is about as ingenious as https://blogs.scientificameric..., perhaps more so as it is even more obvious. It takes some actual insight and common sense to see that though. Sadly, both are rare and not correlated to intelligence and education.
Some average people will get it. That is enough to make this a very worthwhile undertaking. The ingenuous thing is that getting this does not require much intelligence or education. It requires just an ability to see truth. Sadly, humans in general do not have that and high intelligence or education does not create it.
Simple: Education does not create insight or understanding. Look at all the spelling-nazis for example. They managed to learn something, but they completely mistake the importance of it. They think form is more important than function and that never, ever is the case (except in art). What you need to be smart is intelligence, a will to use it on everything (I call that "wisdom") and, as a booster to that, education. Education by itself does absolutely nothing except to make the people that have it (but nothing else) dangerous fools except only fools.
Now, if you refer to the study at hand, that is not the result of failed education. It is what a group of really, really smart people do with it: Demonstrate its limits. And as demonstration of the limits of the standard approach to medical studies, it does not get much more ingenious than this: It is clear to everybody, it clearly is a valid study and it is clearly utterly meaningless. As such it very nicely demonstrates that generalizing medical stidies is very, very tricky and cannot be done by non-experts (such as the press).

It is not actually an obsession with IoT, but something far darker: It is an obsession with money and any demented hype is good enough to make it.
Great idea! And fry tons of very expensive radar, communication and safety gear in the bargain!
They must be silly then that they did not do that. Or maybe you are just an idiot with no clue how things work in the actual world.

Come to think of it, maybe the whole attack war a marketing-stunt...
It is actually very hard as that gear needs to be usable next to an airport or in a city. Remember why they could not use snipers?

The only purpose of "anti-drone" equipment at this time is to transfer money from the buyer to the vendor.

The difference is there. But it is not a difference you can translate into reaction speed.

No, they would not. The USSR was not a free-trade area. But your attempt at cheap, dishonest propaganda is noted.

Do some research, please. GPS can both be made less precise and be switched off for a relative coarse target area.

It is marketing nonsense, plain and simple. Unless you have a lot of other load on the connection, the router does not make one bit of difference.
