Maybe you don't need the addresses, but there are other advantages. If we made the move, I suspect we could give you the experience you want and the one I want. I personally do want to host my own services. My phone is configured to send my pictures to Google and my personal NAS. Centralized services mean you have to trust that provider. These days I don't. I intend to leave centralized services so I know my content isn't training AI or the doorbell isn't spying on me or my neighbors. But, no instead we should force everyone to share the same IP addresses and run less efficient routing.
My solution was to toughen consequences and I didn't directly respond to your tech solutions won't do it, the implication I was trying to make was take self defense class (tech defenses). This is so when the bully punches you in the face, you may not have a bloody nose when the bully gets suspended (ie ineffectual punishment like giving a kid a day off for bad behavior). I have a theory that good actors need to work harder to profit, since bad actors benefit from their unethical actions. Most good guys then get bought out at some point by a bad guy.
You would want to test the camo. I suspect there is more than just changing ones appearance. I believe I've seen a story talking about not needing to see the entire face. You can still id people wearing neck gaiters and other face coverings if you can make out the facial contour. I think you needed about a third of the face uncovered. https://hyperverge.co/blog/masked-face-recognition/
As long as it is accessible and useful, it will be used. Organized crime is around despite it being illegal. Considering how lucrative tracking people is, people will do it illegally. Even corporations as long as penalties aren't significant enough. We really need a three strikes law for corporations. Three egregious intentional violations and corp, is dissolved all assets going to support the needy.
I don't think first mover is going to matter. I think the race to be first is a waste of money. Deepseek sort of showed that LLMs aren't signicantly protected from duplicating results. AI will drastically change how we deal with 3rd party services. Third party services are going to have a very hard time locking in users. You can't lock me in if I can get AI to scrape my data out and translate it into data another provider uses. Going forward I am of the opinion the winners will be the innovators that can create intuitive interfaces. Innovation alone won't be enough. Someone else can rebuild your concept with a better interface.
Velocity won't matter. How fast you code isn't what matters to the end user. We select software based on what works the best for us. Interfaces that are slop can only be successful if they fit how we work. If we assume coding is essentially an AI task now, the winner will be the team that builds the best software. Think of it like Apple under Steve Jobs. It wasn't velocity that was important, but attention and intentionality. I don't think LLMs can get us Steve Jobs quality. I see developers focusing on code review and optimizing interfaces to function well.
It is a battery cell manufacturing line and with the intent to facilitate providing research resources to California battery business. Considering the claim was that you couldn't make lithium batteries in CA, having a new manufacturing line shows that's incorrect. It also shows the state sees it as a need. I haven't seen anyone provide any info showing it isn't possible.
Not likely since the state of California provided a grant with the purpose of manufacturing battery cells in the state. Search for GFO-24-304. You are just kidding yourself if you think California is anti manufacturing. If you can show why this is untrue, show the info. Still had a link to the grant info. https://www.grants.ca.gov/grants/gfo-24-304-california-batte...
The site is wrong though. I believe it's more of a it's hard and I shouldn't have to do it. I found a company called statevolt (founded August 2021) that plans to build a lithium ion cell factory the Imperial Valley (Southern California). I did see a press release saying it is delayed, but the company maintains that it plans on building it. On the banned website, it's claimed lithium battery cells are impossible to manufacture in California. That doesn't appear to be factual. With no references, it's just a California bashing site based on easily disproven falsehoods.
On the website, it claims you cannot manufacture lithium battery cells in California unless you are grandfathered in. A relatively minimal search found statevolt.com. They are building a factory in the Imperial Valley. While I did see the project is on hold. It seems implausible that they bought the site, not having researched whether you could actually build lithium battery cells in California. Considering the banned website claims it's impossible, I can't trust anything on that website without citations.
Right, it's the perfect size for a 10" mini rack designed primarily for home labs. Which is the form factor shown on the framework desktop mainboard product page.
I suspect that it really might have been 'buried deep'. If you are capturing the data short term, to allow a small scroll back, then you wrote the data to some storage system. At three hours or whatever the short term storage limit is, you delete the file. Usually deleting a file leaves the data intact on the storage device. Only the file entry and a list of what low level storage blocks actually contained data. It could take awhile before the data is actually overwritten. Up until the point it is, you could scan the contents of unallocated blocks looking for the data. It could theoretically take awhile to find a customer id or something else that helps you identify the deleted data.
Even if it was, there are other ways to go. The emoluments clause would be my guess. This term is the auction off America plan. Go read the NPR article on the gutting of nuclear safety rules. https://www.npr.org/2026/01/28/g-s1-107650/up-first-newslett... Who needs easy access to nuclear reactors? Tech billionaires possibly... Would you want to live next to a Grok data center? Iterate quickly and fail fast is not really compatible with nuclear reactor design. At least rocket debris a relatively short window of danger.
Not really, unless you are just guessing. A quick read shows that solar gained popularity because of an unreliable grid and a removal of subsidies on diesel. Solar ended up being the cheaper and more reliable option. Labor costs for installation are also lower. In remote areas you may not even have a grid option. Simple general assumptions don't hold across vastly different geopolitical circumstances.
Unfortunately, it's not that simple. I'm currently moving from Windows to Linux. As a gamer it's been interesting to see my game count under both systems. I believe in Linux my gamescount is about a third of what I can install on Windows. Most of those will run fine under Linux, but there is a very important category that won't. Competitive online games. A good percentage of them have Anti cheat that doesn't support Linux (it can, but the publisher has chosen not to). Sony and MS own many of the top tier studios and would have the opportunity to block their games from playing on SteamOS. People would end up avoiding the Intel console due to game selection.
You are over simplifying the problem. First off, the place you quote at 2K is probably an imaging business or part of a larger business that can keep the machines more fully utilized. The hospital has it's equipment to support it's main business. Nobody is going to the hospital for routine imaging. Next, nobody pays $10K at the hospital. Insurance will either have an already agreed to rate or will negotiate it down. As a private pay patient, you can negotiate it down. For planned imaging, a lot of people still won't shop around. Even with a deductible, it should still be the negotiated price. After deductible they all cost the same for most people on insurance. Modern Healthcare isn't a free market. These days insurance has most of the power.
"Standard Mode (Default): By default, LAN mode will include an authorization process that ensures robust security. This option is ideal for the majority of users who prioritize security and ease of use. Despite claims to the contrary, LAN mode through Bambu Connect will require neither internet access nor a user account. This hasn't changed and won't change." With the firmware that implemented security in, third party only speaks through Bambu Connect. Reading the page I included that information and if you go to the original security update announcement, it is clear you can only use Bambu Connect for third party access. In addition you lose the ability to control the printer.
This touches on a issue I have been wondering about. What are the implications of not being able to copyright AI generated content? Can we use functions tagged with being AI generated legally? Are vibe coded apps public domain? What do we need to do, so we can enforce the license we choose when AI contributed.
Lan Only works by making you use the Bambu connect software. If the Bambu Connect software isn't running, Orca cannot start a print job or control the printer. It doesn't sound too onerous, but it should be mentioned that LAN only wasn't added till users gave 'feedback'. I suspect the original intent was Bambu Slicer only.
I am really surprised to read that American healthcare costs are not transparent. As I mentioned in another comment I know exactly how much everything costs to me and insurance. My HDHP is serviced by United Healthcare (largest Healthcare company in the US). For every visit to the doctor, I get an explanation of benefits. This tells me what the doctor charged, what insurance actually paid them and what I owe. I'm pretty sure that's pretty standard across the industry. Then comparing costs... It's pointless. I can't afford to go out of network, so I go with who my doctor recommends. They will then get paid the already negotiated rate (which is probably the same rate across the network).
I'm not sure why you think there is no price transparency in the US. I know exactly how much I was billed and how much my insurance paid. I generally don't ask ahead of time, because it's going to cost me $20. I get an explanation of benefits for every visit. When I was still below deductible at one appointment they gave me options and how much it would cost. What I don't really get is the option to choose. Limited providers and the network limit my options.
From your description you have extraordinary insurance. I have good insurance (according to a staff member commenting on our low deductible). It does not work how you describe. Our insurance servicer (United Healthcare) makes all the decisions. Doctor prescribed x, it gets denied. We've had denials on meds they have been covering for years. I wish we could shop around. It's just not realistic.
