That feels creepy enough to discourage people from using it. If they don’t self-regulate what they can do with that level of personal data, we’ll see laws passed in states like California and then adopted by others.
Yet it took another year, with the sinking of HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Repulse, for the British Navy to finally acknowledge that aircraft carriers, not destroyers, are the future.
The F-35 program isn't going anywhere, but the Pentagon and the CIA have been quietly building out drone bases across the world for years.
I don't have raw numbers, but last I checked the cost estimates of maintaining these aircraft over the long term is still projected to be cheaper than the alternative.
Some of the aircraft flown by the USAF and the US Navy have higher annual operational costs than the sticker price of those same aircraft. The F-35 is an attempt to avoid repeating the same mistakes, but obviously, easier said than done.
We spend 68 million dollars on the military per hour. An aircraft carrier group alone costs somewhere between 2-3 million per day to operate. We spend huge amounts on force projection, but argue over school funding and basic social services.
The icing on the cake was they disapproved one of the ads due to the destination URL not loading.. which was in itself surprising, because everything outside of the affected region was running fine.
They're investing in solar, who knows if it'll pan out. Throwing money at a problem works to a certain degree, and there's no question they have a sizable reserve to throw around.
At the risk of being downvoted, any Pixel users enable "Hey Google" recognition on their phones only to regret it?
I'm constantly dealing with the phone interpreting commands intended for a Google Home speaker, which sometimes results in both the speaker and the phone acting on the same command. To my dismay, there's no way to disable Hey Google recognition on the phone after it's been enabled.
Perhaps someone here has run into this issue as well? It's a huge pain point for me.
