Sure, let's classify them as employees. At a minimum, the company needs to start paying minimum wage for all of those 20k agents. That includes payroll taxes which will help feed into Medicare and Social Security, which those agents will never claim. Those new employees will start paying income taxes based on where the agent is running which might also establish tax nexuses exposing the company to new liabilities. Smaller companies using agents will become bigger companies, losing protections for smaller business under various laws, and also will be penalized if they don't provide health insurance options.

All so a CEO can say his company is bigger. Geez.

It's suddenly popping up because Trump wants to deport everyone they can get their hands on, lawful status or not. And they're picking up citizens along the way.

RealID isn't intended to prove citizenship. Citizens can get them, as can immigrants with lawful status in the country. That was on purpose, because people with lawful status also travel, enter federal buildings, and do lots of perfectly legal stuff in this country.

The problem is the Trump administration is intent on finding any reason to kick people out of the country, whether they have lawful status or not. The RealID doesn't tell them whether they have to let you go because you're a citizen.

I think ours started showing this in October. Maybe it is for the non science museum theaters?

This was even weirder because I have parental controls on my sonâ(TM)s computer, and I got an email out of nowhere that he had bought HP Smart for $0.

Ah yes, less than absolute zero. That is cold.

They aren't charging enough on fares to keep their company and the drivers running. They've tried to become more sustainable by trimming driver payments, but it's still not enough. Even with a limited monopoly, taxi companies weren't incredible profit generators. The main reason Uber and Lyft are cheaper is that they're being subsidized by investors to try to get enough of a market dominance they can then increase prices.

I havenâ(TM)t read details about the WhatsApp hack but what I have read is that it only impacted that app, not other apps or system processes. So the sand boxing may have helped mitigate the damage.

Or laser, or NASA.

Well, apparently you can get away with this in New York, New Mexico, and lots of other places.

It was in the summary. The keyboard in question is AI.type.

Neither can Tesla, right now. Tesla is promising full autonomous driving, but it isn't there yet. It also has lost features from the original AP1 hardware (reliable automatic windshield wipers) that it has not yet replicated with AP2, because it's relying on different hardware and software to enable it.

Tesla is really betting on "software will fix everything", but there's really no saying when it'll happen.

How likely is it that they will catch the people who did it? And if they do, how likely is that to reduce the chances of someone else doing the same thing?

If someone steals your car, you contact the cops because it's possible you'll get your car back. Even if not, it's sort of possible they'll find the car thief, because the city is only so big. But finding who put ransomware on your computer among billions of people all over the world?

Again, there's nothing in it for the victim.

Law enforcement isn't going to do anything to help you about ransomware hitting your computer. For the victim, it's a waste of time.

I will be honest, wired syncing isnâ(TM)t much of a thing anymore for a lot of people. I havenâ(TM)t synced this phone with iTunes at all since I got it. Everything is over wireless including backups.
