If the survelliance tech is so great, why post amber alert messages with the license plate numbers all over all highways to help find the car?

The more eyes the better the chances. Obviously it’s not total information awareness the likes one of the previous DNIs dreampt about. We see its imperfection if the fact that a very public case in an Arizona abduction case is basically cold. They basically have zero leads -which is pretty incredible in this day and age.

The Amber Alert system is much older than promiscuous cameras.

99% of the time it’s a custodial dispute, but that’s orthogonal.


> The US just cannot build cheap energy

Nuclear power anyone?


Cheap.


What is expensive in nuclear energy? Reason there is not more of nuclear reactors is not the cost, it is regulation. Regulation can be changed (it also seem to already have, recently, IIRC - starting 2024 NRC law changes by Biden admin and later by Trump admin)


Reason there is not more of nuclear reactors is not the cost, it is regulation.

The reason for regulation is that failure is not an option --- unless you're willing to accept the cost of making a big chunk of a state uninhabitable for a very long time.

How much would failure cost? The Chernobyl exclusion zone is over 1000 square miles --- about half the size of Delaware. And it is expected to remain uninhabitable for the next 20,000 years.

Also, the Russian Academy of Sciences estimates that up to 1 million people may suffer premature death as a result of radiation exposure and contamination from the event.

In the long run, renewable energy is a lot cheaper.


Vegas: ordering a tax "to a hotel" - hotels have different entrances, pickup / dropoff there during crazy times is hard. Uber UI for Vegas is unique / some features are designed to make it easier for driver and passanger to find each other

Airports: different regulations, different rules for pickup/dropoff. Also scammers who pretend to be in a car, walk with their phones around pick-up ares in airport and do bait-and-switch (saw that in Istanbul SAW and in Dubai Al Maktoum)


Additionally each city often has their own fares they impose, restrictions / etc


Second this

Have the same pattern, issue is cortisol/stress, not sounds / etc that happen precisely at night

Built simular things tonwhat Op did (thoug using Oura for sleep tracking, not Garmin)

Result: no statistically significant variations in sounds, CO2 normal etc. Cortisol is what doctors/AI told me first


Yeah, if you continuously wake up around 3am you are anxious/stressed/depressed. Whole article is overthought/engineering mindset nonsense.


Modern-day Turing test: AI receives $100,000 and must make $1m


well, produce own steel. Own processors, own drug precursors...


Does oobe trick no longer work?


Oh, this is surely AI, not something related to SAP "voluntary" leaving the Russian market.


Money


The Wikipedia article says that he had a lifetime pension and died in his 70s from stomach issues.

Where did you get this "died in poverty" nonsense from?


[flagged]


It wasn't Russian pension, it was the famous Soviet pension, yeah.

Not so ironical much, eh?


Haha you gotta be trolling.
