Interns do but should not get the level of write access that makes a durable change impacting all customers. Deadlock a server or even wipe SQL tables, this is an outage. Break a customer’s configuration, send the wrong client’s paperwork, again small scale problem you can deal with. Interns don’t change company policy.

I think it’s a more foundational architecture question: why do you push builds to all customers at once without gating it by SOMETHING that positively confirms the exact OTA update package has been validated? The absolute simplest thing I can think of is pushing to 1 random car and waiting for the post-install self tests to pass before pushing to everyone else. Maybe there’s actually no release automation?? But then you make it safe a different way. It’s just defensive coding practice, I’m not even a CS degree but learned on the job something always breaks so you generally account for the expectation that everything will fail by making a fail-safe just so the failure is not spectacular. Nothing fancy, just enough mitigation to keep the fuck up from eating into your weekend if it happens on a Friday.

149 camera feeds of the person watching the 1 video should be enough no?

I agree porn addiction has been around for a long time, but it’s very different not that we’re reaching a point in time where people who are expected to be adults and functional in their mid 20’s grew up in a world of ubiquitous Internet access and had smart phones.

So while porn addiction existed since photography, this is the first time we get to see the effect of population-wide unrestricted access to these things from a very young age.

It’s actually probably better now with parent-child account management and the like, which didn’t exist at all 15-20 years ago. Also 15-20 years ago CSAM, death imagery, real rape and mutilation videos were all on the front pages of openly accessible .com’s anyone could visit.

I wasn’t kidding. https://www.thoughtco.com/the-giant-jewel-beetle-1968152

Imagine an alien species bombarded the planet with real-dolls, we basically did that to this species of beetle

There are things every mating creatures brain is hard wired to look for, as signals of a healthy and breedable mate

Like the caricatures of sexual perfection in porn, the brown beer bottle happens to be the anime girl of a species of beetle whose males will regularly get carried away trying to reproduce with manufactured human garbage creating an actual risk to the species

“unproven” because it’s Texan. Fuck The Verge, Internet porn addiction is as real as those beetles that have sex with beer bottles because they’re brown and perfectly glossy like an ideal mate.

Ugh I don’t know which is worse. Next timeline, portal gun.

And I’ve been slowly replacing windows with Linux since the arrival of Windows 10.

I don’t think they need to be pushy, just the quality of product decisions has been going down as time goes on. Monopoly a bigger issue for sure, If not for the massive decline in value to both users and advertisers, we wouldn’t mind the monopoly so much.

Google must be scraping the bottom of the barrel of crazy that’s also stupid enough to pay for ads, I think it’s common knowledge now that Google games analytics to artificially inflate the appearance of ad impact.

This is the way forward

Ah yes that’s where their development resources for all the last 5 years went: fucking up the paid experience with minor tweaks and fucking up the free experience with major tweaks.

I pay for this shit for my whole family and don’t know a service with anywhere near the same library, I’d jump ship in a heartbeat to a service with both a complete music library and a first-class podcast listening experience for web/PC users.

Not QUITE how Twitter works, Democrats can pay for ads and run all the psyops they want with fake accounts too.

Question is whether any Chinese or Russian intelligence teams decide targeting messages at lefties is going to contribute towards their goals as a whole.

I completely believe that they were failing.

Question is how bad will the PsyOps and interference get? Without them?

The takeaway is to never hire people from EA into decision making roles.

Exemptions that only apply rules to the common people. Maybe device registration with an exception using ipv6 address

To anyone who ever says they don’t care when a political party they don’t care about goes after people they don’t care about, remember: this one particular court could have gone the other way, and people going after you can try as many times as they (or you) can afford to fight.

Ah yes use the OTHER chromium based browser!

If they can mass produce solid state ev batteries, that IS an absolute game changer, because their EVs will have a lifespan many times longer than that of any wet-cell EV.
