Motorola Mobility belongs to Chinese Lenovo but headquarters are in Chicago. Not sure if that makes it better or worse regarding privacy and surveillance compared to USA only.

The red line is the amount of cash they are ready to compromise for.

Get out of your stem bubble (Lemmy being one), do some local sport or activity where there is actual social mixing. You will notice the gap between your bubble and people who barely finished highschool. For me the gap is rather having the privilege to be educated to abstraction rather than being smart (~ IQ). Being able to manage abstraction better is often why you are better paid in STEM.

I am not knowledgeable about this, I just checked the Wikipedia page to confirm my understanding of the joke and found these very interesting historical uses.

Octal 31 = 3 x 8¹ + 1 x 8⁰ = 24 + 1 = Decimal 25

• The Yuki language in California has an octal system because the speakers count using the spaces between their fingers rather than the fingers themselves.[2]
• The Pamean languages in Mexico also have an octal system, because some of their speakers “count the knuckles of the closed fist for each hand (excluding the thumb), so that two hands equals eight.”[3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octal

The diplomatic speech use is pretty funny.

“Faced with this apparent misunderstanding of the basic expectations of the office of ambassador, who has the honour of representing his country, the minister [Jean‑Noël Barrot] has requested that he no longer have direct access to members of the French government,” the ministry added. “It remains, of course, possible for Ambassador Charles Kushner to carry out his duties and to present himself at the Quai d’Orsay so that we may hold the diplomatic exchanges necessary to smooth over the irritations that, inevitably, can arise in a friendship two hundred and fifty years old,” it nevertheless specified.

Maybe she could move like a millipede thanks to the leg snakes.

You have a very restricted definition that doesn’t seem to be common. “Social graph” is not mentioned once on the Wikipedia page of “social media”, nor the Britannica, nor the Cambridge dictionary, nor Merriam Webster. While they are not specialized sources, I think they reflect the common usage of words. By those definitions Lemmy seems to be a social media.

Maybe we shouldn’t laugh at it because we still have young women having to go through this kind of revelation after thousands of years of civilization.

The tobacco industry is a good historical example of all the shit world dominating companies do. The most sneaky thing I can remember is that they finance perfectly good research on a lot of causes of cancer, except for tobacco, so researchers were too busy and happy to get some money to work on something, to investigate tobacco. They also have been buying companies that used to finance legitimate research so researchers that depended on them are now forced into a conflict of interest. https://www.bmj.com/content/385/bmj.q1153

Personal anecdote, a young female data scientists left my current department to join Philip Morris, it blows my mind that young educated people would join this industry willingly, I guess it was for the money.

Ça risque d’être réciproque si la baisse du travail n’est pas compensée correctement.

Tu penses que Hyundai ne surfe pas lui aussi sur la vague de l’AI de manière irrationnel comme de nombreuses autres entreprises ?

J’ai une petite intuition que la technologie n’est pas prête et qu’il y aura des opérateurs dans des pays à bas coup derrière.

I bet a time will come when it will be worth it, like heated greenhouse tomatoes.

Latex hell? Good luck

Especially as embryos, which is where this comes from.

What are the recommendations to print it then? That’s half the reasons why I would buy it.

Knowledge is sometimes a burden but overall it makes us stronger.
