standing directly next to one another
|
were offered the exact same jobs for different amounts of money.
|
This was particularly drastic in Lyft's case,
|
where the pay for a trip could vary as much as $3,
|
potentially adding up to hundreds over the course of a normal month.
|
And that money could wind up being really important
|
after the robot down at the unemployment office denies you your benefit claim.
|
Mm, go f**k yourself.
|
Stay, poor asshole.
|
Each of the following quick bits is fully OSHA compliant
|
and has never resulted in the loss of a limb,
|
but make sure to wear your special quick bits helmet, just in case.
|
There could be eye pokies.
|
Following a series of delays due to weather and technical issues,
|
SpaceX successfully launched its Polaris Dawn mission,
|
carrying pilot slash billionaire Jared Isaacman,
|
as well as three other people who have far less money.
|
The mission will last five days and attempt the world's first private spacewalk.
|
Presumably, they mean private in the sense of privately financed
|
and not in the sense that somebody is getting naked, so no peeking.
|
other SpaceX projects, however, have been delayed,
|
as the Federal Aviation Administration has been slow to issue launch licenses.
|
SpaceX by itself apparently accounts for 80% of the overtime logged by FAA workers
|
charged with safety and environmental reviews for space travel,
|
similar to how Elon Musk accounts for 80% of TOS violations at Twitter.
|
I'm above the law.
|
Huawei has launched a folding phone with not one,
|
but two hinges,
|
and the world will not shut up about it.
|
The Mate XT features a 6.4-inch OLED display when fully collapsed,
|
but fully unfolded, it becomes a 10.2-inch tablet
|
that's nearly the size of a standard iPad.
|
There's also a 7.9-inch in-between single-fold configuration
|
if you just want a little bit more screen.
|
You're not showboating.
|
Oh, and its price starts at about 20,000 won(yuan),
|
or 2,800 US dollars.
|
It's the perfect phone for people who miss unfolding maps when they get lost,
|
but still wanna be able to fold them back up when they're done.
|
People keep wanting to toss data centers in the ocean off the California coast without a permit,
|
and regulators, they're sick of it.
|
The most recent offenders are the founders of Y Combinator-backed startup Network Ocean,
|
who wanna dunk servers in the San Francisco Bay
|
as a way to save energy and slow ocean temperature rise,
|
which I can already see a problem with.
|
Sure, hot servers might not raise the whole ocean's temperature,
|
but experts say localized hotspots could trigger toxic algae blooms.
|
Microsoft actually tested submerged servers in California and Scotland
|
before recently abandoning the project.
|
You know what they awoke in the darkness of Bikini Bottom.
|
Meta has admitted to using public photos and posts on its social media platforms
|
from as far back as 2007, when I joined,
|
to train its AI models.
|
In a confession that's only really newsworthy
|
because it was made in an Australian Senate inquiry
|
by Meta's global privacy director
|
immediately after she denied Meta had done that exact thing,
|
users in the UK, you have the legally mandated ability to opt out,
|
but users from anywhere else do not.
|
And while the Meta exec made it clear
|
that they only scraped accounts over the age of 18,
|
if an adult posts pictures of kids on their account,
|
those are fair game too.
|
I'm sorry, you're not ready for the future
|
where everybody owns everything.
|
That's a you problem.
|
And by everybody, I mean us.
|
And a robot will begin removing melted radioactive fuel
|
from the Fukushima nuclear plant.
|
And it'll certainly take its sweet time.
|
This test removal will grab merely three grams
|
of the approximately 880 tons of waste,
|
which will then be studied to both learn more about what happened
|
and to determine how to best remove the rest.
|
Grabbing this sample alone will take two weeks
|
because the robot must be maneuvered very carefully by rotating teams
|
that are averse to the idea of spending more than 50 minutes at a time
|
in a highly radioactive environment.
|
What? You don't want to grow a third arm?
|
Or suffer a painful death?
|
And I'll suffer painfully if you don't come back on Friday for more tech news.
|
Not nearly as painfully as someone with radiation sickness,
|
but it still hurts a little.
|
Hi, welcome back to TechLinked.
|
Don't ask.
|
NVIDIA has announced that it plans to launch
|
its new NVIDIA app out of beta before the end of this year.
|
Now, users with some combination of the NVIDIA control panel,
|
the GeForce Experience app,
|
and the RTX Experience app already on their PC
|
may be experiencing some apprehension,
|
but the new app is actually intended
|
to unify the features of all three apps
|
and in the darkness bind them
|
into a single streamlined experience.
|
We've had three, yes.
|
What about fourth app?
|
NVIDIA has also added a handful of new features,
|
such as a toggle for G-Sync,
|
multi-monitor support for RTX HDR,
|
