We need to ban plastic packaging or at least limit it heavily. I used to work for a big box store and the amount we used to go through on a daily basis is unreal. And then each product we pulled out of plastic packaging to ship had more plastic packaging for the customer to pull off when they get it home.

We provide Apple with government subsidies equal or greater to the GDP of the bottom 10 countries on the list.

We pay apple more than some countries are worth just to keep their shareholders rich. We don't help our own companies compete with Apple, We just pay the giants to get bigger.

This would be nice if you owned the data. If it wasn't a networked device and was capable of making these determinations without sending your PHI back and forth between your toilet, your phone, and their web servers.

Make a device that can analyze my pee without sending that data anywhere, and maybe then we'll talk.

They shouldn't need to create separate legislation every time a security threat arises.

They can come up with as many extra reasons as they want, and they can vote to ban anything they want. That's not my issue.

My issue is that something is creating a threat to government devices. We should have teams in place to identify these threats and clear policy on how to proceed once an application is identified as a security risk. Instead, we're leaving the call up to politicians who are twice as corruptible as they are informed.

Yeah I know, the standards aren't in place and that's a huge problem. I have more protections on my corpo phone than a city official does. We're begging to be hacked. Your town should not have even handed out phones without a solid security policy that outlines what data can and can't be collected, and the safety procedures that must be in place at a company before entrusting it with said data.

Lawmakers should have no say in what individual app is and isn't allowed. They vote on the security standards, and if apps don't meet those standards they are banned by default.

No double standards when it comes to data security. If other apps fail in the same way tiktok does, just aren't controlled by the Chinese state, they should be banned too.

These industries are only "doomed" because they were vastly overvalued. And they were vastly overvalued to justify the insane r&d required for voice recognition.

So basically, companies that were already worth trillions decided to lie about the value of voice data in order to aquire enough investment capital to fund r&d that they could already afford.

Stop subsidizing these fucks. We should be funding the research that makes tech like voice recognition possible. If it remains proprietary it has no value to the American economy.

Both Should be a priority. Fuck WSJ for using environmentalism to write a hit piece on another form of environmentalism. Green space is likely more profitable for the state economy in the long run, it's just that the benefits are spread more evenly and harder to corrupt.
