Difference being that Sony can't decide that next month your PS5 will stop working (well, they can, and people will lose their damned minds, but when Google does this, since your "console" is largely a cloud device, people sort of shrug, are annoyed, and move on). Sony bricking PS5s would likely result in meaningful legal action.

If you think that episode (S1E6, Lift Us Where Suffering Cannot Reach) is about January 6th ... well, I'd say that's an interesting perspective and may be largely rooted in your own biases. It's very clearly SNW's version of Those Who Walk Away from Omelas, an Ursula K. Le Guin short story from 1973 which examines the considerations of an explicitly complicated ethical situation. It's a devastating story, BTW. Good read. Worth your effort.

Probably wouldn't impact the red light camera situation - red light cameras identify the car based on its plate. They also take a picture of you, but the ID is based, I believe, on the plates themselves.

FWIW the shoes were nothing special -- you could use any cleated shoes you wanted, pretty much.

This is the way

The issue here is that the situations are not the same. I'm an engineering leader. My job is internal -- I lead some people and, you know, take credit for their work. My job does not involve going out into the world and making statements about technology.

Google's AI researchers get paid to write to write AND PUBLISH research papers. So their job is to build up credibility and publicly make statements. This only works -- they only get credibility -- if people think they're operating objectively and are doing the research fairly. Clearly, that's not the case.

Okta hired him while he had a clean record and was under no (known to them) investigation. However he left, he didn't work there once he was indicted.

He was hired by Okta. He worked there for about eight months until May/2019. Which was right around the time (within a month) of when he was indicted. Okta hired him while he had a clean record and was under no (known to them) investigation. However he left, he didn't work there once he was indicted.

It's his sixth child (though one of the previous six apparently died). He's been a parent for a while. And kind of terrible at it, it seems.

To be clear, it appears that while she is currently the CEO -- and therefore, "we're investigating the CEO" is absolutely a correct statement -- the conduct in question was happening before (and only before) she was CEO -- so if right, she had an affair with A COWORKER, not someone reporting to her, which honestly? seems kind of OK?

My guess would be that Netflix doesn't particularly try to appease China, as they do not operate in that country in any way.

Sorry, cite? I'm too lazy to pull just school stats, but according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... as of 7/31/2019 246 people in the US died of mass shootings (not just in schools), so presumably fewer than that would have died in school shootings. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., as of about the same time last year -- 7/27/2018 -- 2372 servicepeople died in Afghanistan and according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... as of a year earlier about 4424 servicepeople died in Iraq, for a combined total of 6796. The number is likely higher now -- remember, the cites above are a year old and two years old -- but it doesn't need to be because it's literally more than an order of magnitude than the worst numbers you could point to for mass shootings in 2019

Background: US-based. My spouse and I adopted our two children, domestically (Kentucky, Ohio). A lot of people operate on the assumption that in adoption there's a huge "supply" (I'm loathe to use that word when it comes to humans) and insufficient demand. The reality is quite different. Firstly, there are not "millions" of babies up for adoption. That's simply not the case. Secondly, international borders complicate adoption very significantly to the point where in many cases it's not a meaningful option (e.g. a US person will have to go through massive difficulties to be able to adopt from Russia these days). Thirdly, it's an expensive process and quite often it's a crapshoot what you end up with, genetics-wise. So it can make a lot of sense that, if you can "fix" one specific thing, you'll want to go with the old-fashioned way of having kids (modulo CRISPR, of course :) ).
