Yeah, it’s all about incentives. Google’s behavior is what the law incentivizes.
Cadillac and Mercedes have had thermal cameras on their cars since the early 2000s. There is probably enough data from their vehicles to see if this technology actually helps reduce collisions at night.
DMCA is such a shitty law. But companies like Google choose the safe route and believe every DMCA claim without first using humans to investigate them (because that will cost more money), and this is the result.
I pity the independent creators and makers who get fake DMCA takedowns all the time while Google does nothing to protect them.
If Google really wants to save themselves from this kind of trouble, maybe spend some lobbying money to get DMCA repealed.
One week of bug fixing ought to fix it.
That’s not what “soft skills” means, Satya.
Morals are subjective anyway.
They may be subjective, but they exist as a concept and can be discussed. Morals describe the value system from which you make decisions and build consensus. Pretending they don’t matter is nihilistic and self-serving.
Let me frame this issue a different way: when Google doesn’t make money from showing you ads, or getting money from your subscriptions, they don’t pay the creators for your views. Are you arguing this is also OK? Will you promise to support each creator directly instead? Or are you only interested in getting entertainment for free?
While the RIAA does continue to exploit artists, it’s now possible to support many artists directly by buying their albums online, buying merchandise, and attending their concerts. Do you do any of that, or are you simply pirating music for your consumption?
If you feel strongly that Google is a data-gathering evil so great that they deserve not a sliver of your money or attention, then stop using YouTube.
Sorry, but you can’t make a moral argument for your position. What you want is to benefit from Google’s services without paying them. That’s it. That’s the whole argument. It doesn’t really matter if you like them or not, really. You’re arguing that you deserve free service.
That is not a morally sustainable argument.
Here’s an interesting idea: pay for what you consume. We can argue whether ads or a YouTube Premium are a fair price, but I don’t think you’d have a moral or legal leg to stand on if your argument is that Google must provide you with hosting and streaming for free.
You are consuming resources on Google’s computers. I think they have a right to ask for payment.
To me, the ad tracking industry is completely out of control, and I’m not going to disable my ad blocker. So I signed up for YouTube Premium.
I think Apple still cares more for user privacy than just about any other consumer electronic company out there today. Google’s Play Services mines way more user data than iOS does. However, Apple’s foray into Services will no doubt start them well down the slippery slope of monitoring and monetization, so I think erosion is inevitable to fuel Services revenue.
I can smell the bullshit before even clicking the link. We aren’t “meant” to do anything. We adapt.
I will sleep well tonight.
Misleading headline: it has not yet passed. It passed both the house and senate, but has not been signed by Gavin Newsom.
Slow news day at Business Insider, I see.
Yeah yeah blah blah blah.
Let’s see him lose his wealth.
Yeah, I really don’t see the issue. If the device works as advertised, so what if it’s full of air?
It’s not the entire Internet Archive that has been found infringing. The judgment applies only to the Internet Archive’s lending of digital books without limiting the number of copies.
Worst in what way?
Not trolling, actually curious.
Because you have lots of BT devices around you!
Protip: Do not connect your TV to the Internet.
