In other words... the "privacy" is more or less given, just because it is too expensive to store it?

The fact that Google only lets your free account have ~19GB of storage - for the data you consider most important, and thus which should be easiest to monetize - says a lot about the effective limits of how much value can be datamined from your data. Zoom not only has far fewer data points to cross reference and thus less scope to try and monetize; but the video/voice calls it could collect have much lower information density.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Thanks for the explanation, but you did see the joke icon, didn't you?

It helps you prepare for likely questions, then analyzes your responses. It's all a ploy so that the AI can get hired instead of us!
First they take our jobs. Then they take our red staplers! Beware! Beware!

So why hasn't anyone written an AI that will do the job interview for you? I would imagine, if I wrote such a thing and brought it in to the interview to answer the questions, I should instantly be hired!
main()
{
var stupidInterviewQuestion = true;
while (stupidInterviewQuestion)
{
Console.ReadLine();
Console.WriteLine("Please don't ask me questions for which I can simply google the answer.");
}
}
Yes, I've actually used that response.
|
|
|
|
|
And a great response it is! So much so that you want the interview to last forever.

For most of us, traveling faster than the cosmic speed limit—the speed of light—is a science-fiction fantasy that breaks the very foundation of modern physics. "Fantasy will set you free"
Oh, too many layers of indirection in that blurb. It must be time for a cocktail...

Microsoft's Build 2020 event will be very different this year. And not just because it will be a virtual-only conference. And free, free, free. I may actually attend for a change.

"Free" is usually a marketing term that means "pay more than usual".
Want me to forward all my emails containing the word "free" in the headline?

We’re introducing Jukebox, a neural net that generates music, including rudimentary singing, as raw audio in a variety of genres and artist styles. And then they came for the bad songwriters, and I did nothing as I was busy covering my ears

Oh freddled gruntbuggly,
Thy micturations are to me
As plurdled gabbleblotchits on a lurgid bee.
Groop, I implore thee, my foonting turlingdromes,
And hooptiously drangle me with crinkly bindlewurdles,
Or I will rend thee in the gobberwarts
With my blurglecruncheon, see if I don't!

Remote work used to be an option that was nice to have if you needed it or if you were getting some extra things done over the weekend—but I don’t think any of us ever anticipated that mastering every nuance of working from home in a climate like this was going to be a critical part of our long-term success. People are working remotely? Why, is something going on?

A new report from Kenna Security takes a look at the risk landscape for Microsoft, Linux, and Mac assets. "Patches, I'm depending on you son. I've tried to do my best, it's up to you to do the rest"

Whoever thought the number of vulnerabilities would correlate to the number of patches needed to be produced? Mind blown...
