1 Mooch?!

For sure... the city/township/municipality responsible for repairs and upkeep should have clearly marked and coned off this route immediately.

Sure, Google should have updated the route and maybe deserves to pay a small fraction of the total payout depending on how egregious the warnings to them are and specific details of the case...

BUT, whatever entity is responsible for the bridge deserves to pay out most to all of the settlement because it should not have been possible to drive off of the bridge without plowing through a clear barrier.

They probably didn't pay for the steering wheel monthly subscription.

The big problem is AI will (eventually) "see" things as a human does so even in the case that these MIT researchers are able to insert nearly invisible artifacts that fool AI into thinking the edges are different than they actually are, a sufficiently large training set will allow the AI to see that the color borders are more important than artifact borders...

Which will allow AI to bypass this type of watermarking.

Oh my god, are you me?!?

 

Then it hit me.

 

Personally I prefer to sleep in until there's waffles.

 

But I love their greatest hits.

Consumer Reports is also a great source for good info on product reliability.

If you're making a large purchase like a car or if you have a handful of smaller purchases to make, a month or a year subscription is a drop in the bucket.

As of the last time I purchased a car, it seems to be the one holdout that realizes if you sell out to ads and corporate interests, you undermine your own reputation.

 

I said Maybe!

They work on so many levels.

For sure... Non-decentralized social media has value created by the immense number of connections and content created.

It also has the risk of abusing those connections and making the network less valuable by a centralized decision to clog it with paid content... Which alienates users and makes the experience less efficient.

Facebook did it, reddit is doing it, Twitter is trying to do it. The move is almost inevitable.

Decentralize it and it takes almost all potential greed out of the equation so the network stays most valuable to users.

With the API shutting down, I believe there is no longer an automated way to delete all content. I would focus more attention on the latter suggestion.

Definitely the original portal.

I'm generally not an FPS guy, but the puzzle game in the FPS format was really cool to see.

And when you finally do beat the game you can't help but think...

"This is a triumph"
