True, simple MBAs often reach the same conclusions.

The cost of that experience/juice was their privacy. Value isn't free.
If you take on a new Facebook experience by using their camera glasses, that will also have a privacy cost that this time will include my (and everyone else in-frame's) privacy.

This isn't court. The evidence, such as it is, is all of the smoke which commonly motivates people to look for fire. The strongest and most comprehensive that I've seen is the argument that if Trump was not implicated in the Epstein files, he would be publishing them in free book form himself and forcing every media outlet to advertise it. Slight exaggeration, but I think truly only slight.
Not really relevant to the thread, but there are simple answers to the "eViDeNcE??" question. You may have already known this.
Re:Waymo 13x safer than human drivers

Pulling out randomly, I see it all the time. I beat the computer by a) anticipating; and b) assuming other drivers are idiots who don't see me. I don't have to calculate trajectories and whatnot, people aren't computers, and they can do some things better than a computer can, especially a solely-reactive one.

My understanding is that in the vast majority of investigations law enforcement will be satisfied in learning only who you're talking to, i.e. "just metadata" is fine, and dangerous.

Some combination of cowardice, conflict of interest, and fear of ICE.

"The map is not the territory" ensures that bias and mistakes are inextricable from the entire AI project. I don't want to get all Jaron Lanier about it, but they're fundamental terms in the vocabulary of simulated intelligence.

Not only is Thiel a dyed in the wool libertarian, but he also owns the dye factory and patents.
I think it's probably just his version of yanking the chain, but if anybody wants to submit to the experiment I'm sure he'll be happy to sit back and watch.

Dummynet and the rest of this functionality comes from FreeBSD, where it has existed for a long time. I was doing packet loss testing with it 15+ years ago. Works great!
