Readit NewsThese GPS trackers help find cattle, possibly making rescue efforts faster and thus cheaper, but they do not prevent them falling into that river in the first place. A fence does.
I know, this is the classical "NASA builds a 1 million dollar Space pen, Russians use pencil" story - but sometimes, high tech is not necessary to solve problems that have been solved for centuries.
Doesn't mean we don't need better infrastructure. Just that we should avoid overcomplicating things.
The article explains pretty well how the devices prevent cows from falling into the river:
> Solar-powered GPS devices emit a high-pitched sound as the animal moves through a boundary zone towards the water, with a mild electric pulse delivered if it fails to turn around.
What am I missing? Am I stupid, or the people who talk about carbon capture are ridiculously dishonest?
As a more prolific blog writer at the time I also liked that their bot would include number of people who were subscribed to my blog in their User Agent.
Something I generally appreciate with Google: The level of craftsmanship and the amount of elegant designs like this they come up with. (There are also… other things, but their standards are high compared to many competitors.)
this is 100 % true. we also don’t have time to debate the morality and necessity of each specific activity for years. if AI energy use is indeed as small as some comments here suggest, ignoring it to focus on improving things like heating, cooling, and transportation could be a better course of action.
With either type of arrangement, I think it does tell you something about the parent-child relationship, which in turn does influence how you should take the parent's testimony.
rather at the expense of the business owners, which may well be the parent themselves? (ok fine the other employees could have equity in the business, but other than that)
But as long as the platform who need to validate that you're an adult don't get your identity, but just the proof, I don't see what the problem is?
> What is the incentive for the citizen to make sure their authentication isn't shared?
What incentives do people today have for keeping their identifications to themselves? Why aren't we all sharing CC numbers? Because we realize some data is "personal" and isn't to be used by others, like our username+passwords or whatever. This isn't exactly a new concept, just look at how it works for anything else that is tied to you.
In this scenario the government knows all the age-restricted sites I've visited. I'd argue that is worse than if all the age-restricted sites I've visited know who I am...
(FTR I don't know what I think about age restrictions in general, but I'm pretty sure there's no implementation that comes without negative side effects)
