Gee, you mean Google has an ulterior motive for making a web browser?

I don't see why Google gets away with this shit while Microsoft couldn't.

Once the governments hit the payment providers it's game over for VPNs.

Taser company selling body cam transcribers? That's an easy task, most output will resemble "Oooww oouch stop zapping me! Aaaooow!..."

Reminds me of when I worked for an environmental cleanup company that was eventually bought out by a chemical company. The company was thus paid to clean up its own messes, via Fed Superfund money.

Jacobsen's Algorithm wasn't widely implemented until the 90's and you know it.

This is not new territory.

It is just automatic speech to text. As long as it flags that the report contains or is based upon automated speech to text from body cam footage (which can be subpoenaed and reviewed and challenged in court) then it is all good.

The current reporting method is that after the fact the cops write down what they remember happening. That is pretty bad -but the best we had available before body cams.

Let me share actual numbers from my latest PG&E bill.

Note: this is from my business.
My home bill is not subject to the additional fees or delivery charges -residential users in my area are only billed for usage (the "Electric Generation Charge") per the deal with the local electric supplier (Central Coast Community Energy rents the lines from PG&E directly).

Electric Generation Charges : 62.95
PG&E Electric Delivery Charges : 157.44
Other Fees and Services : 152.74

PG&E is charging nearly 3x as much for delivering the power over their lines as the cost of the power itself...and another $150 in misc fees and services (whatever that means...)

The delivery fees are plenty fucking high enough.

So you are saying we could solve the whole fucking problem for a fraction of what Musk paid for Twitter.

Fuck Yea!

> sadness in the fact that they're launching it to an equatorial site, so we don't get to see the fascinating hydrocarbon seas

Why is that? Is it to simplify communications? The lakes would certainly be more interesting.

researchers have discovered the more memorable an image, the more likely a person is to think they have been looking at it for longer than they actually have.

Goatse is the secret to immortality!

I believe courts have interpreted it to mean people on US territories or citizens (even when abroad). Conservative courts have also assigned corporations and organizations many person-like legal qualities, which liberals often balk at because it gives them a potentially overly large voice on political issues traditionally considered only to be rights for individuals.

I have it on good authority that the President could just order Seal Team Six to assassinate them and face no consequences...

Any severance agreement beyond the most basic "we are paying you not to sue us for wrongful termination" should be met with a response of "Let me have my attorney look this over and get back to you." (whether you have a lawyer look it over or just take some time to read it before you sign it is not the point -asserting your rights is the point.)

If they try to pressure you int signing with a "the offer is only valid NOW" kind of a deal - DO NOT SIGN. It is a trap. You have the legal right to seek counsel from an attorney before signing a contract.

Before you start working is when you have the most power to negotiate. When you quit working (voluntary or involuntary) is when you have the second most power to negotiate.
