infernal machines posted:gas tori, ban thread lol i was wondering what the grift was beyond just land rights Sidewalk Labs’ role in developing waterfront land, unlocked by the promise of $1.25-billion in government-funded flood protection, remains unclear as work continues on an agreement expected later this year that, if signed by both parties, would formalize the Quayside project dubbed “Sidewalk Toronto.” ... While the land is undeniably valuable, observers say it is the promise of endless streams of data from custom-connected communities, with sensors monitoring and recording almost all manner of life that has Google, Microsoft and other tech giants salivating. Sidewalk’s assurances that it envisions making money from licensing new technologies created in the high-tech district, rather than selling data, are not allaying fears. lmao

I think that making a hundred million people's lives marginally worse by giving them an opportunity to compare themselves to others is still less morally contemptible than deliberately violating the trust of the one person in you've actively chosen to be with for the rest of your life.

H.P. Hovercraft posted:they’re tryin to get them designated as historical so that entire neighborhoods of them can never be demo’d lmao forever at palo alto Joseph Eichler wanted to make well-designed homes for the masses. That, in part, was his ethos. The city of Palo Alto, home to many Eichler specimens, wants the opposite. In February, the Silicon Valley town’s Historic Resources Board approved a new set of home guidelines that, if enacted, would bar any new house two stories and up and any home that didn’t signify, however loosely, the iconic midcentury-modern developer.

sometimes being dangerous is part of the art. they once did an installation at the tate modern that involved punching a big hole in the floor and the museum only put up warnings and attendants so naturally a bunch of people did fall into it and hurt themselves. not saying this is the case here but the tate presumably has fully qualified and licensed engineers and they did it anyway
