... had a job putting the caps on toothpaste tubes, got replaced by machines, then got a job repairing the machines that replaced him in the first place. The same thing will happen here. Human intervention will never go away. If it does, well, Skynet will be online.

This naming scheme has all the makings of a new Abbott and Costello routine... without the humor.

For the old school folks who remember how Microsoft was touting Windows NT 3.5 as "C2 Secure," we also remember the full statement was, "Windows NT 3.5 is C2 Secure as long as you do not connect it to a network." Looks like the same thing... that unless you can keep your AI stuff on standalone systems that cannot be accessed from anything outside of your local network it cannot be secured.

Or we can think of Little Bobby Tables...

Does this mean that people who get these MBAs now have to actually go get a job doing some of the grunt work instead of going directly into management and maybe learning what the workers actually do before they start making all of these ivory tower decisions that make employees' lives miserable?

I remember having to learn Pascal first. It was never a widely used language outside of academia, but it did force you to use some good practices with regards to data typing, structures, and algorithms. Once you learned that, then the next one you did was C. With the advent of better compilers, the need to learn Pascal has pretty much been deprecated as much as the language itself.

Senators elected in November, 2024, will not be sworn in and seated until January 3, 2025. For now, contact the one who was not up for election or the one who ran for reelection, whether that person won or lost the bid.

And then there's the complete misunderstanding of the apostrophe:

• It's not "would of" it is "would've"... a contraction of "would have" (applies to could and should as well)
• Apostrophes do not make plurals: the plural of "book" is "books," not "book's"
• "It" and "who" are the only ones I know of where the situation is reversed... apostrophe for contraction ("it is" => "it's" and "who is" => "who's"), but no apostrophe for possessive ("its" and "whose")

... would focus on the major polluters (China, India), we might actually have a real impact on pollution levels.

This is a problem overall and has been experienced in other franchises as well *cough*Doctor Who*cough*. The producers, show runners, etc, have been far more concerned with trying to satisfy a small segment of fans and push some agenda or message, all the while forgetting that they have to actually tell a good story too. Sci-fi stuff always waxes political... doesn't matter what you support or despise. If the story is good, people will watch or read it and keep coming back, and it will likely attract new fans too... even if you are pushing an agenda or message. If you're going to beat your audience over the head with said agenda or message every few minutes, lines, or whatever, they will get tired of it and walk away.

That's because the House of the Mouse has been pooping on other franchises, hoping the audiences will forget about the first round of mouse poop on the Star Wars franchise while they work on the current victim(s).

I swear there are people out there who would say, "But I thought that was the indicator telling me my headlights were on!"

Where I live I need to use a combination of low and high beams because there are no street lights in my neighborhood. Fortunately my car has "auto high beams" so when it detects enough light coming at me they cut down to low beams... but I am also attentive enough to turn them down manually when I see people walking (my neighborhood has no sidewalks either) so I don't blind them as well.

I would much rather watch older TV shows than anything new. It's not just nostalgia... they're just that much better or more fun.

The way I learned it in the Red Cross's Advanced Lifesaving and Water Safety Instructor classes, as well as the PADI Rescue Diver class... Rescuer's Rule 1: Protect yourself first, or else there will be N+1 victims.

You could always require the phone be tied to the parents'/legal guardians' phones and that the parents would have to do the authorization. For the edge cases of legally emancipated, something could always be worked out where the date of birth (and nothing else) is added by an official organization that would handle it. The parents would then be able to do the equivalent of MDM similar to how it is done when you get a corporate phone.

Revenue enhancement.

You never know. You may have an ID ten tee user error going on. You might have some honeypot machines looking to see whom they can trap, or maybe a testing lab that does regression testing. There are several reasons... some legitimate, some not. I've worked with systems in the past that had to use the original installation with no updates... as idiotic as I thought it was. It was some kind of "business decision" and like it or not, I did not have the authority to update the machines.
