Ironically, the accident that caused them to decide Cruise is unsafe was started by a human driver hit-and-run. So the humans are still more unsafe, but they are punishing the robots for it

It’s right there in the name: PHP

Seriously though maintaining a PHP server is a security nightmare and you have to be constantly updating if you don’t want to be hacked. Just not worth it when there’s better options out there

Did they really “win” though? Now users are just going to have to look at crappy irrelevant ads.

I actually like FB/Insta ads. They’re products I actually want and sometimes buy. In fact sometimes when I’m looking for a product, I’ll Google for it without incognito mode, and waiting for the ads to show up. Creepy but somehow actually delivers better results than the actual Google search!

Didn’t he fire one of the twitter engineers because he corrected him on a Twitter thread?

How did they submit changes to only one file? Did they not write a test for it? Sounds like a dodgy patch if it doesn’t have a test

I got it bundled with my YouTube Music subscription. Definitely worth it, especially considering you’d pay the same amount for Spotify and not get any videos

And how has ad tracking personally harmed you or even inconvenienced you?

Nah. I would hate to live in a country that bans personalized ads. It would be like living in the 90s watching cable TV seeing completely irrelevant tampon and baby ads as a single dude.

Personalized ads are much less annoying than the “spray-and-pray” noise we used to deal with.

Is this an ad for something or just trying to spread general fear and panic?

My Roku stick doesn’t seem to have ads. But I recently switched to a Google Chromecast TV and like it the most. Better interface and more features than Roku (e.g. Bluetooth). The one thing that’s worse is the remote.

Buy a projector instead. Most don’t have any of the “smart” spyware that TVs do yet. Plus you get like a 4x bigger screen for for half the price
