Now I know to use the metal zip ties if it's in range of their mouth.

Meh. Phone companies don't keep a transcript of those calls, and those calls are between parties unrelated to the phone company.

OpenAI kept the records, and is a party to each one of the transcribed conversations.

Only if you only look at information packaged as entertainment.

I agree that it'd be better to have active labor law enforcement by the government, but clearly that's unlikely in fair bits of the country.

You instead apparently believe laws simply need not exist and illegal behavior immaterial. There is an existing standard for when it becomes work that excludes your parking example and includes turning on required equipment.

Meh, what you actually would note from recent events is the US government worked despite the Constitution (when it worked). It wasn't checks and balances or specific design of the Constitution -- it was the people and culture that dictated bounds of accepted behavior.

The document itself is a disaster, especially if one tries to use a lawyer's grasp of history to justify their favored outcome of the day.

That's not a problem with the pedestrians -- it's a problem with the road planning.

If there's enough foot traffic that you'll get a constant stream for long periods, the planners should have put in a light if they want cars to pass.

If it's a one-off random surge for a few minutes, the cars have to wait. There is no right of way for cars to push through an in-use pedestrian crossing.

In the 5-thick crowd example, it's pretty clear that the status quo was actually maximizing the rate at which people (whether in cars or on foot) crossed the intersection. Cars use too much space to compete with that flow rate.

Plus often including content relevant to different more popular essay prompt.

North Korea actually has nukes that can reach the US (unlike Israel). As do Russia and China. By that logic, we should be shipping defensive aid to North Korea, China and Russia.

Israel carpetbombing the local area with nukes is not going to be huge deal for people outside the strike zones. It will not trigger a long-term nuclear winter, etc. Though I wouldn't want to be Jew elsewhere in the aftermath if they did try to trigger armageddon; it's hard to see how a fallback plan that involves launching nukes in all directions over Europe, Asia and Africa, doesn't trigger a massive wave of retaliation on local populations unconnected to Israel.

You are creating a arbitrary equivalence.

There is no natural equivalence saying that all overseas commitments must have equal strategic value. Supporting none or supporting all are both signs of irrationality.

To be fair, the article sounds like the manufacturer mostly fuming after their attempt to block use failed. If there's a followup on the trains being removed from services and the hackers successfully sued, it'd become a case of inappropriate laws.

Ironically or not, this is a major reason science isn't blind to the 'who'. Variations on just writing down numbers, or selectively keeping numbers have been around for as long as the scientific method.

Yes. There is a threshold effect. Adding a bit of wind power doesn't increase travel times - you just vary how much wind/diesel is contributed based on the wind and save a bit of fuel on average. But you wouldn't be able to get to 50%+ wind without accepting slower and more variable travel times.

As the law stands sure, that legal distinction is true. But the proposal is to change the law.

There is no real-world advantage to society at large in saying that paying to watch some movies should get different legal treatment than paying to buy some movies to watch. Changing the law to reflect that is a positive.

Certainly not fair to the fools who got hoodwinked paying for it. But it's not the first time money was put into something that obviously won't work.

Uhuh, and what are those policies exactly? One struggles to think of examples where significant changes in governance have been pushed on another comparable countries that don't involve war.

Foreign relations just isn't that important to politics in general. It's the people in your own country that are most likely to keep you in power or kick you out power, imprison you, etc.
