6 . Each username on here should be a person, not a brand or corporation - and that person must be you, no impersonation.

Every museum I went to allowed photography with flash turned off.

This included every major museum in NYC, the Lourve in Paris, and Picasso's Museum in Barcelona.

Besides the Mig devices, Nintendo also claimed that Daly sold pirated games and hacked consoles to customers.

Is this true or is this something just added by Nintendo just in case Daly chose to settle, Nintendo has an excuse for their PR department?

If this really about protecting kids, they could've done opt in blocking at the ISP level. Just a few new fields with ISPs and they have products that can take care of this already.

This is really about tracking every little thing you do online.

It should fall on the parents and ISPs should have an opt in option to block adult websites.

But we all know this is more about control and data harvesting than anything else.

Maybe the AI doomers are right.

From the article:

In fact, the company has just begun field testing one application at partner Mazda’s Hiroshima plant.

I wanted to see what their partnership was like so I checked on Wikipedia:

In the past and present, Mazda has been engaged in alliances with other automakers. From 1974 until the late 2000s, Ford was a major shareholder of Mazda. Other partnerships include Toyota, Nissan, Isuzu, Suzuki and Kia.

Source: Wikipedia: Mazda

Wow. I didn't really expect Mazda to be involved with 6 other car manufacturers.

I delete my first comment because I specified what I meant in my reply.

If you don't think doomers existed after the year 2000 then look up "2000 anxiety" and "2000 paranoia".

But if I was really going to double down this would by my response:

Many countries invested little to no money in Y2K and they were fine.

Countries such as South Korea, Italy, and Russia invested little to nothing in Y2K remediation,yet had the same negligible Y2K problems as countries that spent enormous sums of money. Western countries anticipated such severe problems in Russia that many issued travel advisories and evacuated non-essential staff.

International Data Corporation estimated that the US might have wasted $40 billion.

Then I would ask you:

Since you are such an expert on Y2K, what would've happened if the US took the same approach? What exactly would have happened?

Thank you for the info. The 70's is what I thought.

I should've specified. Even after there were a a ton of work put in, doomers existed to the last second. There were doomers who really thought the world was going to end without mentioning the technology aspect of it. These doomers, even after the date passed kept moving up the date and repeated this process.
