Don’t forget the $200k gold bar bribe attached to it

Why don’t they just transfer $200k directly to Trump?

Well at least with phone tap there’s like a limit of $200, so maybe some company can corner a niche market where they only cover small daily purchases. No $10,000 credit balances or $2000 purchases and points and whatnot, just like $1000 balance limits and max $200 on purchases through tap.

You wouldn’t need quite as much capital that way, and I bet that would eat a good chunk of business from visa and MasterCard.

I feel like it should be super easy now for smaller competitors to pop up by just offering digital credit services using tap on mobile phones. No need to manufacture and ship out plastic cards, just a digital version people keep on the phone, until they get large enough to be able to provide physical cards.

To me having the car be able to override your actions sounds more dangerous than being to override the autopilot.

I had one rental truck that drove me insane and scared the shit out of me because it would slam on the brakes when I tried to reverse into grass that was too tall.

What if I were trying to avoid something dangerous, like a train or another vehicle, and the truck slammed on the brakes for me because of some tree branches in the way? Potentially deadly.

You can get socket extensions where the bulb goes into it and then each extension is connected to a wall mount remote switch. No wifi needed and then you have a wall switch for each bulb.

Doesn’t fit into every light fixture though depends on the design.

Edit:

So why can’t I read them for free too? Only massive billion dollar companies get stuff for free?

I would like to announce that I am pioneering a new AI program. Give me access to all of the movies for free please.

He takes us to a creek downhill from a new construction site for a data centre being built by US firm Quality Technology Services (QTS).

George Dietz, a local volunteer, scoops up a sample of the water into a clear plastic bag. It’s cloudy and brown.

Well, maybe they didn’t have proper sediment control but a creek is a lot different than well water. Most people don’t drink out of creeks, sediment control is done more for the purpose of protecting fish habitat.

Hauls buckets of water to flush her toilet

What? You’re concern is sediment in your well water and then go haul dirty brown sediment filled water from the creek to flush your toilet instead?

Buy a sediment filter for your well water. Even people not beside giant data centres should have one just because it keeps the system functional and running better. It is practically a requirement to have one.

Nope, I’ve still got every phone I’ve ever had except for one that I gave away to someone who lost theirs.

Also with starlink even one company’s constellation is causing issues with astronomers and launches.

How bad will it be if there are 5-6 different companies with their own network floating around up there. And then other countries with their own network.

Proton estimates the average Americans data is worth $700 per year.

Sign me up for $1000/year privacy fee and you will make more money by doing absolutely nothing.

For things like language, math, and science you could probably have an AI teacher on individualized tablets or something that go at each child’s own pace in a classroom setting that’s just supervised by someone and can provide extra help / tech support when the AI goes on the fritz.

Then regular recess/lunch shenanigans and gym class, art, music, for the social aspect.

The AI could even be programmed to do team projects where you link your tablet with 4 others and they all help the group do a project

Eventually when AI advances and isn’t complete dog shit, that is.
