Very useful, but what's missing is:
1. Take and upload pictures or start/stop recording a live stream from front and back camera uploaded to the service.
2. Permanent text banner button (custom text banner that cannot be dismissed from the phone)
3. Permanent alarm-sound on/off button (custom alarm sound for X seconds with volume and mute buttons on the phone disabled; can only be muted/ended from findMy service)
If only the iPhones had GPS and some kind of wifi built in - then they could remotely report their location and forward it to the police.
It would also be nice if they had front and rear cameras capable of snapping pictures of people surrounding them to upload along with said GPS location.
Probably all our resources are allocated towards anti-drug enforcement. Also, when enforcing those laws police get to seize and keep the cash. If it's just stolen property: police have to try and return that shit once it's found.. which doesn't get them paid as much as getting to seize and keep millions from a drug bust.
If this is the case, then we clearly need a troop reinforcement with additional manpower to re-inforce our colonial cisnormative whatever the hell that is "oppression" and make sure this looting 1. shit stops happening. 2. doesn't happen again. And
3. Every person involved in smashed the storefront and stolen iphones or anyone assisting or facilitating that type of behavior Or events leading to that behavior at the place that happened goes to prison and never gets released on the streets in the US again.
On exactly what the detector is capable of detecting. If they're looking, at any point, for radio waves, then I'd start there. Do the radio waves correspond to the absorption (and therefore emission) band for any molecule or chemical bond that is likely to arise in the ice?
This is so basic that I'm thinking that if this was remotely plausible, they'd have already thought of it. This is too junior to miss. Ergo, the detector isn't looking for radio waves (which seems the most likely, given it's a particle detector, not a radio telescope), or nothing obvious exists at that frequency (which is only a meaningful answer if, indeed, it is a radio telescope).
So, the question is, what precisely does the detector actually detect?
That reminds me of an actual deployment. USAF, our backup generator had a blown regulation system. Our solution was literally that whenever we had to go onto it, we'd station an airman at the generator manually turning the adjustment knobs to keep it at 240V@60Hz.
They themselves proved you can't tell a chatbot to not be a therapist.
Also, what you say in private b/w you and your chatbot is protected by 1st Amendment free expression. You cannot have a law that says a person A is not allowed to provide counseling to person B; it's unconstitutional. We have been down that road before when a tyrannical state entity decided they thought they could fine a person for doing basic math as doing engineering without a license.
What you can have is that person A is not allowed to put out a shingle and advertise professional counseling services, and person A is not allowed to have a business where they make an offer to buy professional threrapy services.
You could hear the birds all the time. I don't care about cheap gas, but cars make cities noisy, ugly, polluted and dangerous. I only realised this in covid when almost all of the cars went and councils allocate more space for everything else for social distancing.
I"ve been trying to figure out what ya'll were trying to say about no cars, etc.....then it dawned on me that ya'll must be living where they had lockdowns.
Where I lived, sure, traffic was lessened due to more WFH, but it certainly didn't go away to any levels of no cars on the roads and hearing the birds chirping any more than normal....
Glad I didn't live where ya'll do.....for the most part my life didn't change all THAT much after the first month or so...it was largely getting back to normal.
Your hypothesis is that Japanese people aren't having as many kids because of climate change?
I guess so....apparently it is too hot outside for young people to fuck....?
Wow...that never was much of a deterrent to me back in my younger days...
Aww, I was getting excited for Jews in space.
I'm still waiting to see Hitler on Ice.....
There was a survivor from the plane who described a loud bang before the plane crashed.
The premise was that you are doing away with advertising.
You won't eliminate advertising - it's not a smart premise to have. There are companies that want to sell products, and therefore a business opportunity for any publication who has eyeballs. If the publisher does not put ads in that space, then they are leaving money on the table. That condition can be sustained temporarily, but not for long. The publisher is going to eventually make ad deals to maximize their profits, no matter what.
Sometimes services or subscription publications have gone ad-free as a selling point, but in general that is very temporary. For example the $10 Netflix tier changed from no ads to "With Ads".
Similarly the Youtube Premium subscription light tier started with no ads as the main purpose of the subscription, but now they are slowly rolling out more and more ads. There is likely going to come a time where you have to Pay $20/Month for a subscription to access Youtube's site at all, AND there will be just as many if not more ads on everything as there are now. The volume of ads is defined based on what volume of ads their audience will tolerate.
All they have to do is distribute them as binary module blobs, just like nvidia does.
That would work. The binary blobs for the drivers are what people need to build their custom ROMs.
The so-called binary blobs are what Google used to supply and no longer will supply.
This is a huge violation of the GPL and Users' basic software freedoms to ship a device users can't modify the software on. It means that the Android OS is not even open source; despite the fact that they appropriated the work of open source developers.
Problem is the Linux kernel continues development under GPL Version 2 and never updated to GPL Version 3 that addresses some technical loopholes in the GPL which Google and other companies are abusing to steal the work of open source developers.
everything to do with them not wanting anyone else to be able to monitor their Pixel hardware development without a costly (time/resources) reverse engineering effort.
It's not a "costly" reverse engineering effort if you are a competing corporation. Just a small reverse engineering effort.
A company like Apple can easily spend the few pennies on that effort, and it's not even a barrier.
Outage expected for at least the next week or two...
All the evidence concerning the universe has not yet been collected, so there's still hope.
