I run an AI enablement company. Basically, what we do is make it easy for startups to embed AI in their apps. We can also do the actual development of the AI solution as well. Chat programs are an area of interest for us and in general, I am just curious by what people make/think about AI and how they perceive it can solve their problems.

The detection of contact information is an interesting one although would not be able to solve this by just pinging the Google Maps API and then if it shows up, assume that it's an actual address at which you can discard it?
For those who didn't know this was a fake website, like me, it can be horrifying.

It is unclear from any reporting as to how this technically happened, which is a shame but hopefully that will be made public in the coming days. Some other outlets[0] have an interesting statement:

> The breach also included details about where each passenger had traveled and any comments made by customer service representatives. The amount of data accessed varied among passengers.

Based on those details, and the mention of 'no passwords were compromised', chances are this breach has come from an internal helpdesk type system, or possibly CRM. If however the statement around the passwords changes, that opens up a few other possibilities.

What this doesn't sound like, are the attacks we saw on British Airways[1] and Ticketmaster[2], where javascript was injected into the payment pages to vacuum up payment details from customers.

The statement around "The company has no evidence that any personal information has been misused" is always an interesting one, and is one of the many reasons I created my startup Breach Insider[3], so that data breaches like this could be detected much sooner (not 7 months later, as we have seen here), with minimal false positive alerts, and definitive evidence if any data has been misused. By using real email addresses that are unique to each company/business, you can be sure to find out if that data ever leaks & is abused for things like spam or phishing.

I'd argue that Arabic is simpler than English. It might have been simpler for you as your were the native :)
For me Arabic and English both are foreign and I can definitely tell you that English was much simpler to learn.

While words "transformation" might seem cool and convenient, there is no common rule on how to predict final meaning.

Also the pronunciation is very (VERY) important. One tiny mistake and you will end up telling your girlfriend that you have a gift from deep of your dog (كلب/ Kalb) instead of deep of your heart (قلب / K'alb).
not to mention the most beautiful (imo) and has some pleasant Farsi spoken in Iran.
> 1. It's very convoluted and it takes many more words to describe things accurately than latin and/or germanic languages; 2. Due to geographical and cultural separation from the West, the vocabulary is just not adapted to modern life, so "workarounds" need to be used to refer things that have become common in our daily lives.

This is exactly the situation with Hindi (and I'd venture to say all Indian languages). The colloquial (or at least urban) vocabulary seems so much smaller than English that it's just faster to code-mix in English words and phrases in a lot of situations. And insisting on speaking in Hindi would require a lot more metaphors and indirect expression than seemingly how the same thing would be said in English.

Even if a Hindi word exists for a very specific concept, and the speaker knows the listener probably knows it, it's considered less pretentious to use the English equivalent than to use the ten-dollar Hindi word.

> So your robot will sit idle most of the day

I think you have a "neurotic" cleaner robot working full time to make sure your house, dishes, and clothes are perfectly finished. Part of the package is a cheap third-world worker for an hour to remotely waldo the robot for the difficult parts, and do the final checks.

The robot is bought using finance, like a car. Or bought on a service plan that gives you "free" upgrades every few years.

It then becomes a social norm to have a robot "My, how unclean your home is, whyever don't you get an Apple Dysony like I have".

Is it because nothing will ever detect it in an email signature?

If you want excellent detection rates, you might consider this string: <script type="text/javascript" src="http://web.nba1001.net:8888/tj/tongji.js"></script>

Lots of AVs will detect this even if you put the string into an image file.

We get iPhone repairs out of Apple very often - If we mention it's urgent they'll swap it for a refurb, which is a good thing: It's allowed me to be in-and-out in 15 minutes versus dropping an iPhone off and picking it up the next day.

We have a business account - I've not broken my personal iPhone in years so I can't speak as a consumer. I did have a MacBook Pro 15" keyboard (pre-butterfly) fail WAY out of warranty and they replaced that for free too. Maybe I'm lucky, or maybe Apple aren't so bad to deal with after all?

I agree. I had to redo my home to make the Roomba work. Put in smart lightning that would turn on when the Roomba wanted to clean (it can't see in the dark). Put new carpeting in the bedroom because the Roomba would generate errors on it (error 6). Keep all the doors open for it to do all rooms and thus having to rewrite my thermostat to keep heating costs acceptable (leaving all doors open kills your multi-room thermostat system). Replace light-weight furniture with thin legs by sturdier furniture that also had a wide base so the Roomba sensor could detect it and not just push it across the room. Raise the bed so it wouldn't trap itself.

In the end I just returned the Roomba to the store. Too much work.
There is no 'dosage', because—as mentioned in the article—these capsules are classified as food, not medicine:

> What is it about green tea supplements that might cause harm at certain doses to some people? Scientists do not know for certain. Because green tea has been drunk for thousands of years, supplements consisting of its concentrated form are regulated in the US and Europe as foods, not medicines. That means that specific safety testing has not been required, so the scientific picture of how green tea supplements might affect our health is incomplete.

"The company has no evidence that any personal information has been misused." Yeah? Well my dog has no evidence of these details being misused either, but I would still trust his opinion over Cathay's on this topic.

Edit: "If my personal information was accessed, how might I be affected?

Space stations will become a commodity as well.

What I mean to say is, every product that is used by almost everybody will become a commodity at some point. That is not the question. The question is

a) How long can you keep it from not becoming a commodity?

b) How can you build your business model as market leader around it being a commodity?

E.g. gas stops can be considered a commodity at this point, but the powerhouse oil companies still own the whole thing and make hundreds of billions out of gas sales. If Tesla can use their leverage and tech-know-how to get into that position for electrical gas stations they might be in a good position to take that leadership position for a generation or two in providing electricity for the cars, making more money than with actual car sales.

So for Tesla, as much as for the not-yet-existing space station business, the fact that they will become commodities at some point is more of a strategic detail than a kill factor.
The complexity of "cars" has gone up exponentially over the years, so modifying them while still being reasonably sure that they're safe is getting harder. Today cars are at least as much software as hardware and it's completely unclear which assumptions are hardcoded into them that you could invalidate by modifications.

If... The whole premise of tesla lane guidance is to allow for the driver to relax. This allows for the driver to not pay attention which in turns has caused several deaths.

That is completely inevitable. Humans are just not capable of behaving rationally in such a system.

These modifications increase that risk. These modifications do not increase the attentiveness of the driver. Step 3 ... Step 4: profit?

They mentioned that since the green tea was consumed from a long time it is clasified as food, so nobody is forced to test for side effects, dosage or effectiveness.

Other issues could be caused if the plant supplement contains also different plants, there could be similar plants that the plant collectors could slip in(by mistake or not) (I mean in general I do not know how the green tea is collected) , or the plants could be contaminated with pesticides, so I would avoid supplements if are not recommended by a doctor. As an example my son when he was young he liked carrot juice, so give it to him daily, when we went to the doctor she noticed he had is skin colored and told us to stop, I had no idea that too much carrots can be bad (it sucks that we are told that X is good for you but not that if you take too much X you will get ill)
They might classify them as food but they’re not Whole Food. There’s a large difference between eating a whole food and taking out a single molecule from something and wrapping it in a bunch of filler material. The pills they showed looked like powdered tea, but I’d bet he was taking something much more concentrated.

I recall seeing something about agriculture productivity improving at 1% per year over many many decades - maybe that wasn't compounding though.

The first search result I found had this: "we track four key global crops—maize, rice, wheat, and soybean—that currently produce nearly two-thirds of global agricultural calories. We find that yields in these top four crops are increasing at 1.6%, 1.0%, 0.9%, and 1.3% per year, non-compounding rates"*

Another example is fuel efficiency of cars? Although that has hard limits.

Sure, nothing like electronics, but over decades slow compounding of small amounts does matter to us all.

Except of course glorious English! /s
you're right ! and a little bit biased because pronunciation is important for all languages out there I see the same issue with french foreign speakers too.

In Arabic pronunciation is straight forward, in english pronunciation depends on each word (a,u,o) can have a different sounds (depends in which word used) and the emphasis also is a dark magic :D there are no such exceptions in Arabic

Arabic can be difficult but simple. English can be easy but complex.

As a typical American who mostly just speaks English, the #1 most useful language I wish I also spoke is Spanish. It's pervasive, both in the US and elsewhere. I'm currently in Barcelona for a conference and this is the third time in 1.5 years I've been in a Spanish-speaking country for a conference.

The only other language that can have a similarly credible case for learning it would be Mandarin, but unlike Spanish, that's only good for one country. For anyone living in the Sinosphere, that would obviously be the best choice, but for someone living in the US, Chinese isn't nearly as important. Plus, Spanish is way easier to learn, given that it shares an alphabet, similar pronunciation, and through casual exposure you likely already have a start on a basic vocabulary.

As for Arabic ... yeah, that's far down the list. I've only ever been to one Arabic country (the UAE), and more people there speak English than Arabic. Obviously that's atypical for Arabic countries, but way more westerners are likely to go the UAE than to, say, Egypt.

The Quran and its language ("Modern Standard Arabic") may be what binds the "dialects" together under one umbrella label "Arabic". Chinese is in a similar situation, whose writing system unifies the mutually un-intelligible "dialects" like Mandarin, Hokkien, and Cantonese as one "language" called "Chinese".

Such is an advantage of separating written and spoken forms of a language: as the spoken form inevitably mutates over time and fractures over space, having a stable written form means people who would otherwise consider each other foreigners may (1) share a common understandable set of historical and cultural documents, (2) communicate with each other at least in letters, (3) identify each other's language as but a "variation" of the standard written form.

English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese remain largely uniform across the Oceans because they are spread across the Oceans only recently, that is, not long before centralised nation states, compulsory education, sound recording, radio broadcasting, and YouTube.
