Because it's just so damn easy to commit that much law enforcement time to irresponsible electric bicycle riders.

I don't have a problem with this. Where I live, there are engine displacement and horsepower rules for older moped-type gas powered bicycles, laws that need to be updated for the e-bike phenomenon. Honestly I would class anything with the equivalent or more power of a typical 100cc moped as a motorcycle and start mandating registration.

Did you ever consider that perhaps police wanted much more definitive laws that cover things like licenses to make enforcement actually work?

Because AI doesn't require anything more than a text-prompt, while other methods of producing images or videos require individuals to apply their own creative efforts to the process.

There are lots of situations where a post-event or post-display scrutiny reveals something to fail to comply or to otherwise be in-violation.

The simple solution is to blacklist the individuals or companies that violate the rules if their violations are discovered, and to enable to event organizers a reasonably wide latitude in responding to complaints made and making their decisions based on how a given accused violator responds.

I have to disagree with this sentiment.

As an example, John Cage's 4'33" is not music. Even structured under the trappings of music, it is not music. There is no musical performance. To even call it music is laughable. Likewise Cage's As Slow As Possible is also not music. The latter is at least purposefully-made sound, but it the timescales of what a human being can directly observe to appreciate (and given that it was written by a human being for human beings) it is not music. Likewise duct-taping a piece of fruit to a canvas or paving a floor of a room with peanut butter isn't art either. Of course people are free to do these things but we should also be equally free to reject their works from even the set of what constitutes art.

We do seem to have hit a perfect storm, employers were basically insisting on college degrees for jobs that should not have required or even preferred a college degree, prices spiked because suddenly even to be an ordinary office worker or admin assistant or the like one basically had to have one, to the spiking prices dooming many who went to school with debt that their work would not readily let them pay back, to a revulsion against the system itself.

And this is all in the last say, 30 years. This happened very fast.

What poor schmuck of a ma-and-pa computer company did Acer include in their lawsuit within the Eastern District of Texas in order to bring their lawsuit in that particular court?

District-shopping has been a thing for a long time and that particular district has been popular with IP trolls.

It was probably invented by the mail-clerks at Exact Sciences. They were tired of the mishaps when receiving Cologuard return-samples whose patients didn't understand the packaging instructions.

I wonder if anyone's going to revive that old hacking tool, "back orifice".

Cheech and Chong could have benefitted from this technology.

Thanks. Now you tell me...

If the camera is poorly aimed, it puts a whole new meaning to end.

If one changes how electricity is billed, ie, the more one buys the more expensive it gets, that would help a lot. Particularly when those huge-demand customers would end up paying for the development of the very power plants that they require in the process.

Demand-surge pricing is already common in many places. I see no reason why it shouldn't be applied to industry.

At work I could've bought a fiber Ethernet tester, a copper Ethernet tester, and a Wifi tester. I would've spent around $8000 for all three for the degree of testing I was buying.

Instead I bought a $12,000 tool that can test fiber, copper, and wifi. Because carrying around three tools and using three tools if up troubleshooting a streetlight-mounted terragraph backhaul device or AP is really cumbersome.

It's cumbersome to have to carry multiple devices if one device can do the job. I can think of lots of applications where this would be useful if it's durable enough, and they all boil-down to neither having to carry multiple devices nor having to carry a large, rigid tablet.

I'm still flabbergasted of the claim that the original pad that Gagarin launched from is supposedly being set aside as a museum. That simply doesn't make economic sense. First reason, pads are not free to build. They're quite expensive. Second, the facility is not in Russia, so its utility as a museum for Russian propaganda purposes is questionable.

It would make a lot more sense if they simply chose to do upkeep on only one pad, and for whatever reasoning they chose the pad with the now-broken equipment, and the the other pad at the site is so hopelessly out of date due to a series of refreshes to the in-service pad that the costs to refurbish it into usable condition are quite high. That at least would be logical, and frankly isn't a sign of decay in a program either. It makes sense to not spend money on something disused when budgets are finite. But to claim that it's reserved as a museum? Bizarre, to say the least.

Usually they'd book a flight to the nearest coastal city.
