I'm not a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure it is actually against US copyright law to draw snoopy. How do you think before computers people violated copyrights?

When the intelligent airliners take over, the seat changes are going to make business class look like first class.

Although I might make the case that if you're selling on a library of pictures, the company as a whole ought to "know" what the pictures they are selling *are*. For all sorts of legal reasons including copyright, CSAM, and just basic quality control/fitness for purpose.

Just because you sold me a couple million bolts doesn't mean you can disclaim them being a specific grade of bolt suitable for a specific purpose. And companies are held liable for messing that up all the time.

No, aggressively dismissing civics instruction as being some sort of celebration of evil white colonialist suppression and thus vilifying things like the Constitution are what have been a detriment to civics instruction.

The continual projection of "look! an autocrat!" at the guy who's spent billions to free, for example, a platform like Twitter from unconstitutionally autocratic censorship would be starting to get funny if it didn't betray such a profoundly inverse understanding of the topic.

No, intelligent people are more likely to go to college. And colleges have been administratively occupied by (now) at least two generations of lefties cultivated by the aging hippies from the 1960s. The schools they run become progressive cultural echo chambers, churning out more of the same. If by "liberal" you mean it in the classic sense (liberty-minded), then you're right. But there is nothing liberty-minded about the contemporary liberal (as that term is now used) contingent running education in K-through-PhD. The opposite.

Was the guys name Josh?

The bed that positions a patient in a modern Siemens Pet ct machine. It is highly accurate, while holding up to 200lbs of patient. In an 80cm bore; we didn't design it for skinny peeps, lol.
Yes, it will move very quickly, but there are lots of features to make sure it doesn't do that in use. :) I do remember a machine somewhere malfunctioning and stuffing a larger than bore dia patient into a too-small bore. Thankfully, it was another manufacturers machine. :)
Did you know that tapping noise you hear in the mr is all the water molecules in your body flipping polarity?

For most political meetings, and certainly most corporate meetings, I don't see why it wouldn't be do a video call. The government surely could set this up? Heck, I video call rather than drive 22 miles now most days.

This is all good if you never want to go from the US to Europe, or really ever want to go from one side of the US to the other. I feel like adding days of driving to a trip isn't very appealing, and depending on how it's done, is adding more hotels along the way, adding more restaurants etc better?

This is how you end up with people not travelling / experiencing different cultures and other parts of the world - which can increase provincialism - which I'd argue hurts convincing people to care or believe in "subtle" global challenges like climate change.

If you never leave a "small" area in your life, you're less likely to viscerally understand how different parts of the world are from each other. I can't prove this, but I believe this can increase the psychology of "not happening here - not a problem for me" because - a Tsunami over there or Wildfire Smoke in Australia for instance ... don't feel like my problem the way local fires or floods are. I think it's human nature.

What we have seen studies on is how the best way to overcome what I'd call "non-malignant" othering is to actually meet and know people from the specific group. If you're just ignorant, you might well change your mind given actual experiance.

Part of the problem is that so many places have no plan for integrating new hires at all. They drop them "near" their team and expect "magic" to happen.

Actual planning and ramping up new hires I believe would really help with this remotely - you'd have scheduled meetings, you'd have a teams / slack / whatever chat running, you will have a project board or ticket system or whatever.

I don't think having people who need help just wander up and interrupt someone else who's working - potentially on a complicated issue - ever actually worked well for the companies. It killed productivity.

You know, T-Mobile and AT&T have some of the easiest ability to use resellers if you have paid your phone up and get it unlocked. You just swap the SIM. Number transfers over and everything. And you can actually set the pre-paid to very low cost if you have low usage, or usually still less cost if you are a big data user.

Oh, and most of these sell PIN cards at a bunch of gas stations all over, as well as at the independent cellphone stores out there. So... if you have to pay in person, you're probably even more convenient to grab at your local gas station. If you can pay online, you can buy them on ebay at a known / fixed price without extra fees.
