There should be a required WARRENT ID field and it should be checked against valid active warrents. Otherwise, access denied.

Man, Nicholas Tesla was right when he wrote

Actually, I think I've got this one, other than whether this was really necessary.

"For an assignment testing students' ability to make evidence-based arguments, they participate in a simulated school board meeting about banning books. It involves debating chatbots designed by Zeleny with names like the Confrontational Parent."

This a VERY thinly veiled parallel to a hotly divided political issue that teachers/unions [and chatbot trained bias] tend be on one side of and the majority of the public, parents, and truth on the opposite of. Given that adults of the highest levels of performance in our society, be it professional achievement, economic achievement, political achievement, IQ, and education disagree on the matter it sounds like what the teacher is likely testing is alignment with her own ideology and not evidence-based arguments.

I saw the same thing in many of my own courses, examples and material used in classes [especially logic classes like critical thinking] that taught and test concepts through distilled 'analogs' to popular political issues with an attempt to appear neutral and present both sides while actually presenting a weakened strawman of one side the argument and consistently that strawman was on the same side. Cleverly these were not the topics for essays where students spent effort on time and research and independent thought but the class examples that most would never look at additional material on... simply walk away believing they formed a valid independent judgement at the pinnacle of their own education.

Wow, finally some are awaken via comments, not post trash

Nothing to see here, just normal day-to-day government work circumventing the 4th amendment by outsourcing data collection to the private sector. This kind of thing happens all the time.

Move along, Citizen!

Has he(George Santos) done anything to help the Republican Party?


Yes, he has. He has made a bald-faced mockery of the rule of law. That's priceless for supporters of an imperial presidency.

The fact of the matter is that the very existence of unregulated bookies like Kalshi incentivizes actions that may not be reversible, like, I dunno, bombing another country or burning down an orphanage.

Yeah, I remember a previous incident where we were concerned about a "brain drain".

hah! You thought I was talking about this.

This Torment Nexus implementation is ill-conceived, slipshod and substandard.
Put in the work to do things right or don't fucking bother.

some anonymous jape on teh intarwebs said :

Which is what these greedy out-of-control AI fuckwits are doing in a more diffuse manner.

There's non-destructive ways to scan books, that probably are just as fast as what these negligent morons are doing. It's just plain greed above all else.

This kind of behavior tells you who these people are. And why they should be shunned. It's starting to look like good people need to take action to stop their destructive rampage.

Jellyfish that could concentrate heavy metals from the water they live in.
You would let them breed and clean up water in an area, then release a pheromone to get them to jump into your harvester ship, render them and get the contaminants.

They were released in an area with an old nuclear waste dump, so some of the stuff they were concentrating was potentially fissile.
Especially so when the pheromone told them to go up the water intakes at a power plant...

I wish. That would be grand!

Everyone gathers to watch the securitybots fall down and violently flail around trying to right themselves.
Meanwhile, while the crowd is distracted, I pick their pockets.

Truly a golden age of law and order.

Maybe this info needs to be stored in some kind of encrypted escrow format. The database, instead of having an address, would have a blob that decrypts to the address in the shipper's system. And maybe not the full address, but only just enough information for routing - when the shipper picks it up, if its local they get the full address, if its across the country they just get enough to get the nearest distribution center, which has a key to decrypt the recipient's distribution center, and so on. at each stage only enough information so that it doesn't prevent routing optimization.
