Well of course nobody hates the individual dogs personally. It just means the general sentiment of "this place would be so much nicer without all this shit".

Read the article, it works the other way for them.

For age verification specifically, they are supposed to just set a "verified" flag in their database and remove the rest of the data within some amount of time (not more than a month I think).

I wouldn't trust some random nobody to do this, but big companies should have processes that comply with privacy laws.

But robot dogs don't have any of the issues that typically cause people to hate dogs, such as pooping all over the sidewalks, or barking loudly in an apartment building.

There's still a difference between only the provider having your identity vs your identity being public (which is something Facebook's real name policy mandates).

They should've just picked Kotlin.

It also encourages good basic habits, such as not making a variable mutable unless you specifically need to (val is way more common than var, the IDE makes them very visually distinct).

I had programming (Pascal) in school in a random-ass country in Europe 20 years ago (I was like 14).

This has been widespread all over the world for a long time.

But a lot of the crap you have to do only exists because projects are large enough to require multiple separate teams, so you get all the overhead of communication between the teams, etc.

If the task gets simple enough that a single person can manage it, a lot of the coordination overhead will disappear too.

In the end though, people may find out that the entire product, that they are trying to develop using automation, is no longer relevant anyway.

Typos in programming aren't really a thing, unless you're using the shittiest tools possible.

It's definitely possible, but such an AI would probably be good enough to take over every other field too. So it's not like you can avoid it by choosing something else anyway.

And the disruption would be large enough that governments will have to react in some way.

Well the practical difference is that money is something people actually use, where as crypto is mostly something they just hope to resell later to a higher bidder - who will only buy it because they hope to resell later to an even higher bidder.

As long as it doesn't end up eventually bringing down the entire service.

You can also do micropayments without crypto.

If all the employees are located in the highest cost of living area in the world, it kinda makes sense.

Gotta pay those insane housing costs somehow.

Evidence that government regulation of big tech works.

Of course some regulation is better than other, etc. but this is a big win for that side.

Sure, but I mean in countries like US.

China bans all kinds of stuff within their own borders already and nobody bats an eye...

Yes, the shortage is long over. You may have to wait about a month or two for the latest one, but otherwise they're plentiful.

Has someone's show been cancelled over criticisms of Israel?

Isn't this a legal requirement in the EU at least, to let you download your data?

Open source is important for services with end-to-end encryption, because you can make sure the client actually encrypts the outgoing data, is not sending your private key somewhere, and won't break that security at some point in the future.

Of course this particular service cannot even have end to end encryption in the first place.
