Some are. My kid just got some in a few months ago, look just like what I had in the 90s

Not as extreme, but one of my kids had to have a cavity filled. He struggles with some sensory issues, so I was staying close by to help keep him calm.

Knowing what happens and seeing your kid's tooth enamel getting drilled away are two... very different experiences. Like with you though, they were quick, clean, and precise!

They're not saying it'll fix everything, they're saying try it. It'll either help, or it won't; but you're no worse off for trying a gentler-on-yourself approach

My wife writes it with her left hand, to avoid this very issue!

...y'know, id take that

You're talking about a few different things, here.

• AI could potentially use that info, yes. Teslas don't use AI to drive
• Self driving cars do have the potential to be significantly safer, this is true. Telsa's cars, through a series of missteps, are not anywhere near that potential, and in fact are hazards on the road. This is bad for developing true self-driving cars!
• The only obstacle to progress being discussed is covered by a picture of a road...

I've seen some things suggesting they're testing it, I'm not seeing that they've deployed anything.

Honestly, I'd expect AI to make the same mistake as their current systems, though, for a similar reason

This... strikes me more as self-aggrandizing than informative.

Yes, many technical folks are put off by certain marketing tricks. Good marketers just use different techniques when targeting people in this market, when they bother to at all.

We're not immune to manipulation; and thinking that we are makes us more susceptible to it.

there is no evidence of speeding or wrongdoing on the part of the driver, therefore no charges have been filed.

He hit a pedestrian. If you cannot react to a pedestrian entering the road unexpectedly, especially at a crosswalk, you are, by definition, driving recklessly.

Y'know what? I'll cheer anybody who risks a lucrative career and public vitriol to quietly, elegantly bring attention to systemic civil rights abuses.

Still glad you're doing it now!

As I recall the story, Rowling designed that feature of the game specifically to annoy her sport-loving husband. It's a feature of a fictional sport designed in spite. So really, it performs it's function admirably...

I hear tell that the claims are from people with low fiber diets, who suddenly have to deal with fiberful foods.

(I heard it on the Internet, and so now I repeat it on the Internet and let others handle the fact checking!)

Step away from hardware constraints for a moment, and consider the OS:

If the OS says a file is deleted, under no circumstances should the OS be able to recover it. Sure, certain tools may exist to pull it back; but it should be unavailable to the OS after that. And yet, apparently a software update was enough to recover these files. Thus, the concerns about data safety in an environment where the OS cannot be trusted to remove data when it says it has been removed.

Used to do IT for a small meat packing plant; would shoot the shit with the warehouse guys whenever they came in for a break. Bunch of 20-something guys slinging 20-60 pound boxes of meat all day.

Power went out one time, and we're all sitting around waiting to see if the power is going to come back quickly enough that we don't need to start unloading all the inventory; and one of them expressed a need to use the facilities. I told him the bathroom was right there; it didn't need power to flush.

There were no windows, and he didn't want to end up peeing all over the floor.

I pointed out that if he sat down, he wouldn't need to aim.

"I'm not gonna sit to pee!"

"Dude, it's not like it's gonna fall off."

"It might!"

And not only did he see for himself, he wrote up and published his results.

To be clear, Kolanaki is saying that that is not how an OS should behave.

Eh, or he decided to use his unique situation to illuminate how bonkers the situation has gotten.

It also calls being gay “sexual conduct,” which critics say could set up the state for more censorship of LGBT+ citizens.

As in, they can use anti-porn measures to block information from kids about homosexuality in general.

Pretty sure they're talking about the anti-universal healthcare propaganda in the States. Downplaying the wealth gap happens here plenty, too.
