If anything, emergency vehicles have been hampered by the rampant proliferation and deregulation of cars, because it makes it harder for them to get to their destination quickly and safely.
Hell, half of the time I can’t move as quickly as I would like to through the city with my bicycle it is due to cars being in the way of moving quickly and efficiently. And that is a lot smaller than an ambulance.
I really don’t understand why people think they need to use outdated technology and inconvenient transfer methods to be undisturbed instead of just disabling programs that generate or display notifications (e.g. on Linux the notification daemon).
Do people really have so little self-control that they can’t just not use a network connection if it exists?
Society subjects people to a lot of things that people aren’t “perfectly fine with” but only some of them have wider implications for reputation, career chances, ostracizing,… and that is the main problem with this kind of technology.
Your assumption that people need deepfake technology to fantasize about people sexually who have no interest in being on the receiving end of that is at best naive and at worst arguing in bad faith.
A different one at every site?
Agreed. It feels like a UI designed for little children or senior citizens.
In a way it has improved it. It makes it more plausible to claim that any nudes that do show up of you are fake.
Lets be perfectly honest here, especially for pictures this has been possible for at least 20 years.
What is ruining people’s lives is the obsession a conservative society has with demonizing nudity and sex.
Well, it is not exactly as if having to buy a new SoC to get more RAM is any better. That is really just a form of bundling things that don’t need to be bundled.
Is the increase in the number of children a sign that more civilians are targeted now? I assume at some point they would run out of actual separated groups that just contain anything even vaguely resembling something they can frame as combatants.
You know what would be even more productive? Not using video (or AI) at all.
That is mostly because the big mail providers like GMail do not accept mails from just anyone anymore (part of the aforementioned anti-spam technologies) and put the rest of the spam into a separate folder.
The problems with email are many but the two that would warrant rebuilding is that the technology is a mess of under specified 1970s “standards” and the fact that email should really be replaced with multiple different systems according to modern usage.
Only a tiny portion of modern emails really use the “anyone can send an email to anyone unannounced” capability that cause all the trouble with spam.
The usage for a password reset and universal access system for accounts all over should really be split into some kind of specialized system.
As for the rest, most emails seem to be messages from systems where we have accounts or performed some other kind of signup, those could easily be authenticated with a key provided at signup both to make filtering and easier and to be able to revoke authentication, not to mention prevent selling of addresses or usage by third parties after a security leak. A more structured format for common messages (e.g. invoices, notifications about instant messages on some website,…) would also be a good idea.
Seems to be working great so far /s
It is a grim world where people only recognize these patterns when they happen to the country or group with the same name. Genocide can only happen to Jews, Nazis can only be Germans,…
Somehow I think they all wish for him to stay as far from the Tesla brand as possible.
The flaw in the analogy is that it assumes that those effects are limited to some companies when in reality every single company that existed in history has behaved this way if they weren’t stopped by regulation.
Not that I necessarily disagree that China would do it on a huge scale but what makes you think the US under Trump and his billionaire buddy psychopaths wouldn’t do it on a catastrophic scale already?
Well, maybe desert is a bit much for SF but among the cities where they are active it seems noticeable that there isn’t anything in a more humid or colder part of the country or really anywhere very green (where road signs might be obscured by growing trees, that kind of thing).
What if you don’t have mainstream social media?
That is literally inconceivable by the self-centered assholes who make policies like this.
Most of those places would work just fine with a combination of trains for long distance and bicycles/walking for local travel too.
