trickle down economics. 
Look I dont all ways explain things before jumping to conclusions so here you go. 
they are not just a large corporation, they are a food industry. 
food industry is relative to population. 
population is going to take too much typing to explain, number go up, random area of the world get more people near by
it is imperative that they grow proportionally and scale to meet but not exceed this number. 
why not exceed? more workers, more property, more overhead for no gain.
 
the removal of workforce means smaller restaurants, less land cost, less cost to build, less overhead for workforce, probably a few more critical things
the downside? more trained maintenance, more untrained maintenance, way more equipment to maintain. 
 
I assure you there are teams of smart people who have calculated all of this and seen a worthwhile investment in switching to unmanned restaurants. 
I'm willing to wager one of the main benefits is that part I said earlier about exceeding demand. 
it is my opinion that it will result in an increase in growth rate of the company, which literally means more buildings, more equipment, hell more nails and pieces of wood, more jobs to make all those. it is all relative. 
So no, you may not see your burger is a dollar cheaper NOW, but you may not have to drive to get it pretty soon. The price may not scale the same as it has done with inflation. 

>saving $3 on a meal means you have more money to give to tuition, which has increased anywhere from 180% to Over 300%
 
$3 a day for a year is just under $1100. There's no way people just aren't able to afford their schooling because they're only $1100 short. And as others have pointed out, that's IF they pass on the savings. 

You're under the assumption, that a big corporation is passing the savings on to the consumer. Usually savings for a company just means more profits for the company and their shareholders, not cheaper stuff. 
 
I wouldn't bet on cheaper spicy chicken sandwiches anytime soon....

While flawed, the Tesla FSD is still safer than the average driver. Tesla reports one airbag crash for 5.15 million Km traveled, while average in the USA for regular cars is one airbag crash for 0.96 million Km traveled. That's a big difference.
 
Tesla stopped reporting on safety numbers after 2018, because amongst level 2 autonomous cars Tesla appears to be the worst, with 70% of crash reports.  Tesla was beaten by Mercedes on the first Level 3 autonomous car, Tesla doesn't have the best autonomous driving capabilities.
 
Crashes of autonomous cars are scary because autonomous cars gets wrong things that you may never fall for as a driver, like misclassifying a concrete pillar. I think most accidents happens because drivers are either distracted or tired, that's where autonomous cars have a significant advantage. I'm confident that streets would be safer already if the current fleet were replaced by the current state of the art autonomous cars.
 
At one point as a society we'll have starting asking ourself at which level of safety we should replace the current fleet with autonomous cars. Especially trucks. How much safer should they be than the average driver? 10X safer? 100X safer? 1000X safer? I think it's immoral to require too high a safety delta because each year over a million drivers die on the road worldwide. So many people could be saved even by a fleet of autonomous cars that are just 10X safer than the average driver. With that margin, autonomous cars would kill one hundred thousands driver per year, and prevent nine hundred thousands from dying.
  
Human drivers manage with just two eyes, I think that's where Elon's reasoning comes from.
Especially for early version of autonomous cars I would want all the sensor I can get my hands on. Lidar, radar, camera, etc... To compensate for the fact that the intelligence of autonomous cars is a far cry from the intelligence of the average human driver.

Clearly this is a ploy by the WinRAR developer to get people to finally pay for his product!!

Man thats crazy. If only there was a way for them to have tested this before publicly releasing it. Like what if there was a group of people who could test it for them who could warn them about this issue so they can fix it prior to official release. I wonder what something like that would be called or if it would even be effective?

Humans have created technology so complex that no one can possibly understand how they work to a degree where there will never be vulnerabilities. 

I can't wait for 24 gamers 1 CPU.

so that's what's in the prompt i accepted earlier

Everyone raving how they won't miss Adobe Flash at all and dismissing it was a method that for years delivered video content to the masses and provided endless hours of enjoyment through games and animations it helped create. It was also a method of creating insanely rich and visually appealing webpages that were just not possible through HTML at the time.
 
Just because it didn't age well in its final stage of lifecycle, that doesn't mean Adobe Flash didn't push online content to new heights. HTML5 literally replaced it because it copied its functionality without being dependent on 3rd party plugin and it's now an integral part of browser engines. So, people who diss and dismiss Adobe Flash just to look cool are annoying fools. Without Adobe Flash, I don't think we'd evolve HTML the way it has.

The cryptocurrency market has to die. From a logical and rational point of view it makes no sense whatsoever to convert electricity into an online currency. It literally has zero purpose. No I don't care that it helps you dodge taxations or that you are able to make an income from this. Electricity usage is already high enough in the world, we don't need morons running graphics cards day and night for nothing more than just money making reasons. I doubt Americans are able to understand my argument or care too much about environmental consequences but I can definitely see the EU stepping in one day and regulating this because it literally defies logic from a humanity perspective.

Could that just be because AMD and the others don't have anything on 5nm yet, thus Apple has "80% of the production... of 5nm" and not "80% of the total possible production across all process nodes" ?
The way I read this, it shouldn't affect AMD and Co. at all.
Am I wrong to think that?

Not going to happen. Games are paying streamers to play their games. Popular streamers are effectively giving an 8 hour ad fort the game in front of 10s of thousands of current viewers. If a developer came out and said that if you want to stream their game you'll need to pay them a fee the streamers would just play something else and the game would get very little coverage on game streaming platforms, not to mention the bad PR. No developer is stupid enough to be the first to do that.
 
Game developers could be smart about streaming though and build in to their game mechanics for streamers to utilise to generate money, which the developers could take a cut from with partnership with popular streaming platforms (Twitch). Look at what Borderlands 3 did with "echocast" where viewers can pay to trigger events in game such as giving rewards or spawning enemies.
 
Developers should embrace streaming. Not tax it.

I mean in a sense they are paying the game developers in a way that is far more effective than just money.
 
If it weren't for streaming, games like Among Us, Fortnite, PUBG, and pretty much any other game that has been a major phenomenon over the past few years would be unheard of. Game streaming is extremely lucrative for devs as its basically free advertising

It always strikes me as odd that consumers go through such measures to defend a company that couldn't give two shits about them. "Let's just blame the consumer for an overly convoluted naming scheme created by AMD, yeah!"

You're right, Apple pricing of their products has always been reasonable til now
 
 

Hopefully this will ward off the "aPpLe'S rEsTrIcTiOn'S mEaN nO vIrUsEs" brigade, though I doubt it

Obligatory reminder:  Please remember not to invest in a company based on emotion.  Just because you love Corsair products doesn't mean it's a good investment.  Do the due diligence before dumping money into a company!   

Does any modern phone even last 3 generations anymore? 
 
 

SO has anyone actually read it uyet or are we just assuming its bad?
 
I have had a very quick glance at the draft legislation,  so far it seems all they are doing is making it illegal to pick and choose what news is presented when people search digital content.  I.E If I search Chinese south sea in google,  google must display the news according to relevancy not according to which articles they want to promote.   This will attempt to stop facebook sponsoring specific organizations from seeding on specific news content within news feeds. 
 
If that's all it does then why are people complaining, we should be after more generic search results and less policy driven results.
 
 
Google is not allowed to put specific news business ahead of others in public search results (same with facebook)
 
I'll get back to people when I have read more in depth.  It is quite large.  But once again it seems google is misrepresenting the reality of the situation.

At the end of the day China will just build their own tech companies that can supply chips. I mean look at Iran, we have had sanctions on them forever, they built out what they need and became self sufficient. China can do the same and in all honesty, probably would be better off. 

Tbh, move makes sense to me, setting mobile/desktop as default. Only thing I would disagree is completely removing an option to have email notifications for people that still want it. I lean towards the younger audience and have clicked or opened email notifications grand total of 0 times, it's just spam to me... I assume, based on my behaviour, that a significant portion of view time is now towards mobile devices, why would I open one app(email about video upload) just to be redirected to the other one or go in and manually search for video based on that email? Also, generating these notifications is easier on bandwidth, speed and number of jobs required for processing them compared to emails...

I bet they fired everyone who said their new oversizing/expanding URL bar is retarded...
