Failure to yield for a school bus is a moving violation that will put points on your license. In my state 3 moving violations in 18 months will get your license suspended. This is much more serious than a parking ticket and is not a money making scheme. It's a don't flatten school children scheme.

Tattoo ink get encysted by immune cells. Over time these cells die, and as the dead cell breaks down, new cells come along and gobble up the ink to trap it in place. This is why fine details tend to blur out over time. The ink doesn't exactly stay put, and particles that are small enough do get carried away in the lymph system, contributing to fading.

So are scars, but people still skateboard or rock climb or whatever. If you care that much about what you might think about it in 10 years then a tattoo is probably not for you. It's an imprint left by a decision that past you made on current you. It's just a little more intentional than that time you decided to dive for a fly ball and landed on a broken bottle or whatever.

Yeah, current you might not align 100% with past you's choices, but that's life. You integrate them into your identity as best you can and mostly you don't think about it, and when you do it's a nice reminder of where you were in a certain point in your life. Or it's just a pretty decoration that you got because you like the art.

You basically have to. It's not like there are any regularly posted community governance threads or anything like that.

And?

Of course I do, and I'm thankful for that right every time I use the bathroom or visit the doctor. If an illegal action is going on, it's the job of the police to discover it and prove it occurred.

Because we don't want them to instantly kill the first kid who jumps the fence, or the next careless service technician. Automated industrial robots (which is what these cars are, really) have these things for a reason. The regulations requiring this stuff are all written in blood.

And because they require all of that stuff, having a lot full of them in a residential neighborhood makes no more sense than putting a bus depot or airport there does. Waymo should shove its "disruption" up its ass, eat the deadhead miles as an operating expense, and move the lots. If that makes its service too expensive to be profitable, that is their problem.

As long as there are weed dealers, older brothers with IDs, and scrubby woods behind the train tracks, teens will have plenty to do.

That was true of gen X and millennials. Younger gen Z and all of gen alpha was raised on tablets and barely knows how to use a mouse and keyboard, never mind a VPN. Source: I have a 10 and a 14 year old. I've made sure to teach them some basic skills, but that's not true of many of their peers.

It's like with cars: Up through the 70s and into the 80s, most cars barely worked and you basically had to know how to fix one or know someone who did for it to be useful. Now they are like any other appliance. Only professionals and enthusiasts bother to know how to do more than the most superficial maintenance. Same with computers. Somewhere in the 2010s, the tech matured enough for it to become mostly become a device that was just used to consume email, tick tok, and streaming media. A lot of people get by without any kind of Mac or PC at all. They just use their phone for everything.

the hunger by the 1% to remove as much humanity from the workplace is sickening.

they fully know they are destroying the middle and lower classes (even more than they already have).

they, like the R party, just dont care. they think they are rich and insulated enough. they never cared what their own people need. the 'let them eat cake' time has come back again, but even worse.

there will be no thought to social systems needed to support the unemployed (which will be many of us, given enough time).

I'm glad I'm retiring soon. I would not want to compete in a job market that bosses think can be done by computer, alone.

and I would not want to be the 'prompt meister' to try to coax answers from the machines that make sense.

some see a great future with AI. I see nothing but doom and gloom. the greed factor is strong in humans and the class disparity will cause rioting and civil wars.

maybe not wars. the US has created a special police force that is above the law, so any uprisings will EASILY be dealt with. they thought about that. ICE is not just for foreigners. its a general purpose police force answerable only to 1 person.

people, please show me I'm wrong. but all signs point to a very bad future for 95% of the 'thinks for a living' workforce.

I hate sites that do this. Passwordless with an email token to login seems to be the trend for a lot of smaller ecommerce sites. It is so much more of a hassle to check my email, then check my spam folder where the token probably landed rather than just fill int he password from my password manager.

PINs are only for logging into the terminal, they aren't valid for network logins. You set a numeric PIN for your home PC because it is relatively physically secure. For a laptop you use a fingerprint or a FaceID. You are also free to tell windows you want to use an alphanumeric "PIN", at which point it is just a password.

Jim-bob doesn't have qualified immunity and a monopoly on the legitimate use of force.

You guys write the laws, how about making it illegal for the government to buy such data without a warrant? You could also make it illegal to sell the data without consumer consent while you are at it. Cover things from both ends...
