without telling me you're a city boy.

Also, messsages won't get stored on centralized infrastructure but will get stored on every device you come in vicinity with. It will be weeks, if not days before a hacked version appears that retains all messages it receives.
And the technology is not viable for communication along large distances. What will the latency between Europe and the US be? 7 hours at best.

I remember an incident where some chalk flew up and the umpire called the ball out and some player said (and I quote) "you've got to be kidding!".
Yes, it was better in the olden days. Won't say the calls were better, but the entertainmant sure was.

Really? Sunday Bloody Sunday was not a hit? Hmm. I do remeber U2 from those days and I am almost ashamed to say I thought their music was pretty ok back then.
These days I stand with Henry Rollins on his views of U2.

There was 6 seconds between the final text message that did not indicate any problems (drop two weights, probably to get neutral buoyancy) and the final automated ping, and the sound of the implosion was heard before that ping arrived (but that sound travelled faster than the ping).
So, no last minutes spent sitting in their coffin in the dark waiting to die. It very likely came suddenly and without warning. Don't try to make this into a sob-story.

It is. I thought all billionaires were like Bruce Wayne. Here to save us from eternal doom and fly through the sky. Well ok, I didn't but I'm sure many people do.

There is absolutely no invitation of misuse. That's like saying every piece of software where you enter data is inviting misuse.

It's the same as me making a photograph of your face and putting it at my shop window and saying "he stole from me". It is still me making the photograph. It is not the camera maker's fault, nor the printer maker's fault that I put your mugshot on my shop window. That is entirely on the person who makes the wrongful accusation. And you do that my entering in the system "shoplifter". Not by making the facial match.
It would be a different case if the system matched the wrong face with the stored image. But that is not the case. The image recognition software did what it was supposed to do. How the shop and its employees acted on that is incorrect (and they were in the wrong entering the wrong information in the first place).

That's the same as saying gun manufacturers kill people. It's saying the developer of mpeg is of bittorrent is responsible for child porn being distributed.
Sure, their system flagged her, but only because incorrect information was fed to the system. You can not blame the system for that, you have to blame the data entry point.

Don't get me wrong, I am not saying facial recognition for this purpose is ok. I don't want it either. But put blame where blame belongs.

No it isn't.

But that is the shop's responsibility, not the facial software maker's. Again, you can not blame the maker of a piece of software when it is not being used properly.

The facial recognition software did not identify her as a shoplifter. The facial recognition software recognized her and because the store flagged her as a shoplifter, it alerted the store that this person was coming in.
You can blame facewatch all you want, but it was the store that entered the wrong infomation that messed up initially, and after that the stores that acted upon that information.

The goal is certainly not intermittent power. The goal is 100% renewable power. Having non-renewable enery is just not pushing forward to that goal. And yes, it may not be possible to do 100% renewable power, you may need other sources, you may even need 100% backup because there will be dunkelflaute. But then all the other concerns about nuclear come into play. Not least that when 100% renawable is available (and Denmark has reached that point at times), energy is so cheap that it will cost you to keep your nuclear power plant running. You're not getting the (relatively) high price for your energy that you need to make the plant profitable, not, you have to pay to get rid of your energy.
The economic rationale is just not there.

Yes, but then you need to keep nuclear running all the time, and that a) defeats the purpose of going renewable and b) makes terrible economics.
I was more referring to the a) point, keep it off, except when emergency. And it is not useful for that either. It is just so hard to justify nuclear power anymore.

Meanwhile, in the Netherlands (who also wants to build new nuclear enery plants), a study confirms what everybody is shouting: it will take 15 years in the best of circumstances to have one operational and it will always cost twice as much. As what? No just double that number. And next year again.
It is not an economical solution. Having blackouts is a more economical solution than building nuclear power plants to prevent them.

And the outage occured in secondes. Nuclear can never ever be a factor there.

I don't know what their idea is why "enabling up to 400 miles of range" is something that has yet to be done. There are multiple vehicles being sold with > 400 mile range, Tesla Model S for one (410 mile EPA). It is all a question of how big of a battery do you want to install.

All I care about is whether there really is a restaurant at the end of the universe or not.

You mean to say that if you ask for a short answer, AI will stop doing logic and just spits out the first thing that comes to mind? Normal people would do the same thinking process and then shorten the answer.
Can we just say that AI is like a toddler on meth? Useless without the meth, dangerous with.
