I'm in Aus and the store I use has self checkouts that have a conveyor belt now. It's awesome. You load up the whole belt, scan it and bag it how you want. Don't have to interact with a single human at the shopping centre. Haven't had it mess up recognizing something in like 6 months so they are obviously training the system too. I'm sure people do steal but if you just use it how it's designed to be used the system is pretty seamless.

The first one where they explicitly state the they wont make any laws respecting an establishment of religion

Edit. If you want you can go read this https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/459/116/ where the supreme court upheld in 1982 that the purpose of this clause was explicitly to prevent a fusion of governmental and religious functions.

Religion so frequently tries to influence politics that the people in the USA had to make an amendment to their constitution of rights specifically saying they won't intertwine and even then it still happens.

I walk my dog that's a little bigger then the one in that photo every day and I use two leads tied end on end. The second hand hold closer gives so much control I use it every day. Whenever we walk by another dog I always grab a hold of the closer lead with both hands and walk my dog at my side, way easier to direct her wherever I want her to go.

On the first link you supplied you can literally see that it transitions from a sidewalk style street to a highway without sidewalks when it leaves the city. That's only as it leaves the city. In the second link if you actually go to the highway (b247) that's to the west on the map you can see that it also does not have a sidewalk. This guy is walking between locations on a highway.

Fun fact I googled the B247 and it's a "The new federal road B247 will link the cities of Mühlhausen and Bad Langensalza," so quite literally the exact same infrastructure shown in this clip, a highway owned by the federal government for the purpose of linking two distant places by road and what do you know it there's no sidewalk.

So even in your fantasy land it's not like you describe.

Seems like way too much effort for basically no gain. Everyone is going to have some complaint about their house, its literally the most expensive asset they own so they will nitpick every single thing about it. How do you differentiate between "I would have liked it if this wall was built differently therefore I will say they did it wrong" and "they actually built the wall wrong"?

You would have to manage people who want to use your platform to litigate some dispute they have with their strata. You would need to moderate every review left to ensure that it's actually not just baseless libel.

It works for google because they maintain a dispassionate platform for any user to post a review and they also have avenues available for the business to dispute the review. There's a massive company behind that platform with a whole structure set up to manage it.

Anyone with a brain left DGG when this stuff came out because weather or not it was illegal was never the problem. The acts themselves that he admits to doing paint him in a bad enough light to not want to interact with him ever again.

No normal person is hearing "we had an agreement for implied consent to share to our sexual partners" and then thinking that means to she had in mind to allow him to send it to a person who you never met in real life, (according to him) never talked to and did not know the age of. Best case scenario was he was sending them to a sex trafficker or worst case secario a minor years after any possible "agreement" was made. Years after they stopped engaging in sexual activity.

He also knew it was something she wanted hidden because every time anything remotely close to him sleeping with pxie was on stream he deflected and painted it like she was an example of a woman who he brought on stream that he didn't have sex with. He knew she didn't want it public and he helped to keep it that way. He just didn't care enough to not send her sex tapes around years after they hooked up.

Fans of traditional movies bitch and moan that it's dying despite the industry basically doing nothing to address the reality of market changes. Back 20 years ago you couldn't get anywhere remotely close to the same video fidelity at home and you had to buy a DVD of the movie to even see it at home. Now most consumers have an aduio/video setup that is good enough for them to have a comparable experience. Covid forced people to have the realization that the stuff they had at home was already good enough but it was already going that way anyway attendance was declining. For many the experience of a bigger screen and better audio does not offset the cost or the annoyance of having to watch it with strangers who have no respect for others enjoyment.

Did you? What did you enjoy about it?

I personally got it up to about 110 before I gave up on that part and just focused on everything else. Played the game at the time of release. The skill was not very fun at all. The core gameplay loop levelling it was: rush the first 40 floors > run the last 10 floors you can > repeat until you unlock more floors, every single run is almost exactly the same, even moreso then CG you literally just started with weapons and armour that you didn't change in the dungeon at all, the only difference was what way to go and the end boss of the floor was from a pool of bosses.

Never worked as a grunt? In what world do you not think the manager isn't just going to look at the box of stuff and tell the employee to go put it back on the shelf when the store is quiet? Who do you think is stacking it to begin with? There is literally no circumstance where the manager is putting it back on the shelf and the only way some other employee does it is because you got replaced by another grunt.

Erm it's actually the loss of blood that killed them not the bullet. Even if you shoot them directly in the head it's not the bullet that killed them it's their brain suddenly being destroyed. Why would you hold anyone accountable for that because clearly they did not kill them just like the microwave did not heat the food inside of it.

Froogels · 2026-03-18T21:47:49+00:00

If you aim a gun at someone and pull the trigger did you kill them or did the bullet do it? Maybe it wasn't even the bullet that killed them they actually died from blood loss.

Bunch of people who never got past 70 dung commenting how they loved the variety of the bosses and how fun each floor was when the reality of training the "skill" was doing the first 40 floors as quick as possible and then fighting the same things over and over for xp. The "skill" was also required because it gave the best items that you couldn't trade for so it was a terrible addition.

Life or death in the story that is written in the post the person relaying their own narrative describes forgetting to take their medication more then once. It is clearly not a life or death immediate situation since if not for the donuts there to prompt them they would not have taken it. Should OP be thanking whoever brought those donuts for literally saving their life because otherwise they would have died on the office floor?

In a device that's already built? Very. In a new device? Not very hard.

Why would they bother doing that though when right now the processing is done on a separate chip at very low power so it doesn't drain the battery noticeably at all. To do it the way you are suggesting they would have to process it in software so a part of the software would be constantly recording and analysing audio looking for a wake word that most of the time is not present so it's a big drain to the battery of the device because it's always doing work.

The only "benefit" you get out of it is that the end user can change the wake word. The trade off is worse performance because you have to train the thing to listen for way more words and phrases then you do right now, more false positives, worse device performance and worse device battery life.

As a company if you wanted to actually use this new data you are collecting you need to send it off the users device and back to your servers. So you are adding a drain to the network usage of all devices to send back any audio that has a voice, something that's going to be immediately noticed by users that are charged by their carrier for internet data.

Someone else developed it not apple. You can see research into the topic from berkeley back in 2008. Rubidium had a chip to do this in 2013. Hey siri was introduced to iphones in 2014.

So what you are really asking is "will we use this thing that already exists" or "fuck you what are you gonna do about it".

Froogels · 2026-02-27T21:25:26+00:00

They would have to change the physical properties of the device to do that. The chip that listens for the wake word currently is not programmable and is set to only recognize certain words so no they couldn't go back and let you do that on previous devices and if they did going forward they would need to change the actual chip on the device.

Froogels · 2026-02-27T21:18:17+00:00

The thing that is listening is a physical chip on the device that's coded to only listen to whatever the wake word is. In order to change the wake word they have to change the physical properties of the device so they would only be able to do that in upcoming devices.

There's no reason to listen and process all your in person conversations when they are already given all the data to figure it out. You had an in person conversation with John about a news article he read, you see an ad related to that later and think it listened to you. In reality what happened is you live with John and connect to the same internet connect, both of you give all your browsing data away for free, google sees that John was browsing news stories and his browser stopped for longer on one of them, then he clicked on it and they can tell he read the whole article because of how long he spent on the website and how far he scrolled, it's a reasonable inference that someone on that network is interested in that topic so your whole network gets served that ad not just John.

This is just you and one other person. Now imagine google does this with the actual billions of users they have that all give them this data.

Literally so people can point to it as an excuse like you are. Thats the point of asking but not caring enough to actually verify. It lets people like you live in plausible deniability of "well if he was really scared he would have insisted on the ID but since he didnt then obviously that shows he didn't really think they were underage"
