  No, because the barrier to entry for car manufacturing is significant.

  If the other major car manufacturers weren’t already working a similar advertising system/platform, they’ve already scheduled multiple meetings to catch up.

  This isn’t a problem that will be solved by private market or competition, only by regulation.

  And I don’t consider tech savvy users learning how to hack and disable these features as a resolution, it’s just mitigation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elasticsearch is open source, again⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Generally that elastic or usage/volumetric based billing structures are used on SaaS/cloud products, not on-prem.

  Although it’s entirely possible that elasticsearch, and other vendors in the space use that building model for their on-prem customers.

  Regardless, that’s even more of a reason why it would be very difficult to give a quote without being first having a presales meeting with a solution architect or knowledgeable rep.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elasticsearch is open source, again⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This company may be dogshit, but seat count is the standard licensing structure for most employee facing business software, including on-prem.

  And most business licensing requires that information to generate a quote, as price will be dependent upon several factors, including volume licensing tiers.

  Sometimes, licensing structures are simple enough that an employee or rep might be able to give you a quick ballpark without that information, but that would be the exception, not the rule.

  I mean, Voice of America is explicitly a state run propaganda organization used to advance American goals overseas.

  I think the confusion most people have is that they incorrectly believe that propaganda means lies, it doesn’t.

  Propaganda is information published and used to influence opinions and actions. Doesn’t matter if it’s accurate, or inaccurate, information.

  So yeah, VOA is a US government run propaganda outlet. While it doesn’t mean that they’re some disinformation factory, they also weren’t breaking news either, so I would recommend using sources without that baggage.

  Every home should definitely have an auger, but a plunger will work quicker, easier, and cleaner, 99 out of 100 times.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Test of a prototype quantum Internet runs underneath New York City for half a month⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Everyone hating on that setup are a bunch of morons.

  There’s a good reason to put your patch panels on a separate rack then all of your switches, and if you have to roll them you’re going to want some slack.

  That’s all I see here, preparedness. Separate racks for switches and patch panels, and a lot of slack for when you got to roll them around, or some shit I don’t know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Green Hydrogen To Be Featured In World’s First Nationwide “Hydrogen Valley”⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Currently, hydrogen production is requires more energy to produce the equivalent amount of hydrogen.

  Which is why it should not be produced on a fossil fuel based grid, but is perfect for stored portable energy on renewable grades. For example, converting excess wind and solar power to hydrogen fuel.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The US wants to use facial recognition to identify migrant children as they age - A previously unreported project is intended to improve how facial recognition algorithms track children over time⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What do you mean go wrong?

  All of the “consequences” that would arise from a program like this, are intentional.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I love my Gitea. Any tips and tricks?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Imposter. That was a test. The real 4Chan would know that I use:

  FileName.ACTUAL_REAL_LATEST_FINAL_PROD_VERSION

  And it works everytime, about 70% of the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I love my Gitea. Any tips and tricks?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you the hacker known as 4Chan? How else could you know my version naming convention?

  Regardless, all will be forgiven if you can remind what folder and file actually contains the final version. So… which is it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what if your cloud=provider gets hacked ?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Security expenditures are just numbers on an Excel sheet, just like HR, and legal…it’s a business.

  You know what else is a big threat? Executives of cost-center departments not understanding how to articulate their needs in terms of profit, or profit loss. HR and legal departments are generally much better at explaining their concerns and needs in terms of profit, and not abstract concepts like security.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HAARP experiments could cause artificial aurora over Alaska this weekend⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This article was posted by a bot account, and apparently a lot of people came here just to downvote the only comment and leave no comments of their own.

  Odd behavior. Reminds me of bot filled Reddit subs.
