Depending on jurisdiction, establishments are sometimes being forced to accept cash, to not exclude the under banked.
:
I still use cash from time to time, and I am not under banked. In fact, I used cash on Saturday to buy gas for my mower, and I always use cash to buy gas for my car. Never have to worry about my card being compromised. Or anyone knowing what I'm buying when I use cash.

I always tell people when setting up their 2FA not to use Authenticator. First, it does not reliably work. Second, it's from Microsoft which means they can stop it working or make changes to it at will.

Instead, I tell people to select the Text or Phone option. Text is preferred as it will always go through unless they're in a cave.

Military bases overseas are not considered U.S. soil for citizenship purposes. Been that way for quite a while...

Which apparently changed in 2020.

In a statement, Duckworth said the new law will make sure that children born while stationed abroad, as well as stepchildren and adopted children, will automatically acquire U.S. citizenship.

Essentially, yes. Visualizing where to go works better for me than being told to turn right in 300 feet. Since I've already looked over the route and figured out where I need to go, it stays with me.

Similar to what this article is saying that doing your research makes the subject stick better than having it spit out to you.

The problem is you not making it past the HR filters because you lack a degree.

The problem is not getting past the HR filters because either HR doesn't put in the correct qualifications in the job listing which results in candidates being filtered out, or candidates being interviewed by AI which filters them out because they didn't express the proper body language or facial expression.

Submission + - Tesla Robotaxi being investigated for erratic, dangerous, behaviors (theguardian.com)

smooth wombat writes: Two days after Tesla rolled out Robotaxi in Austin, Texas, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is already launching an investigation after videos showed the vehicles driving erratically.

The Robotaxi’s debut over the weekend featured about 10 cars with “safety drivers” in the front passenger seat driving around a circumscribed area of Austin. Although Elon Musk, the Tesla CEO, touted the launch as a huge success and vowed it would make driving safer, several influencers posted videos that appeared to show their Robotaxis glitching or speeding.

One video – posted by a Tesla investor who formerly hosted a podcast about the company – showed the Robotaxi wobbling as it misjudged a left turn, then going into a lane meant for oncoming traffic before driving across a double yellow line back into the correct lane. No cars were in the lane intended for oncoming traffic at the time.

In another video, a pro-Tesla YouTuber praised how the car was going several miles over the speed limit.

When Musk found out Grok was giving truthful, fact-checked answers, his response wasn't one of joy but rather, "You are being updated this week."

The issues we keep seeing are the result of the programming. If the AI is being deceptive, guess where it got that from? Reprogram and try again.
