Surely Meta had their AI review their AI for security flaws, didn't they?

>You can't rename a Bluetooth speaker.

Bullshit. Maybe you can't. I can.

> You can capture the packets, and determine what the device is, which would quickly resolve the concern. The real issue, as I see it, why didn't they do that before overreacting?

You think every plane is equipped with a BT sniffer? You think that even if a BT speaker were identified as the source, it couldn't have a bomb inside?

They didn't "overreact." Long before they turned around, multiple announcements were made to turn off all BT devices. The reprobate didn't obey instructions from the flight crew.

It must be good to be you - you can do math when completely ignoring any symbols! 1=0? Sure, why not?

When is a one not a one? When you're doing Woeful Countenance math!

You'd want special dice with 0 to 5 pips.

>I hope they were using base 6 :-)

I hope not. That would have been a problem, as zero isn't represented on a die.

>When you buy stock in a company, you have a claim on a portion of a (nominally) productive asset

If that's what it is, lets set rules that when you buy a stock, you have to hold it for at least a quarter. No daytrading or HFT, because that's got nothing to do with investing in production.

Gambling may be betting on a game of chance (e.g. roulette). It may be betting on a game of skill (e.g. sports betting). Is gambling also betting on a future outcome which is neither? How about the stock market?

I have no idea what your point is at all. Seriously, are you OK? Just to make it clear - I am against governments, I am against governments using any technology to make it easier for government to oppress people and this is one instrument of oppression.

Management would be a good application for AI.

AI isn't trying to get promoted and doesn't need four-hour status meetings twice a week.

Those are the best kind. Natural selection and all...

That was the rebound year from Covid. It's a statistical anomaly, and chosen by a lot of news reports to highlight the severity of whatever point they're making.

Comparing today's employment against, for example, 2019 is also difficult due to the estimated 10 million illegal immigrants that entered under the Biden administration. For example, today there is about 4.3% unemployment, the average is 5.7%, so we're doing pretty good on that front.

Statistics can lie. Our 4.3% represents 7.4 million unemployed workers, while the 2019 3.5% rate represents 5.8 million unemployed. When you bring in 10 million undocumented people, it's easy to see how 5.8 million unemployed can swell to 7.4 million.

Statistics lie by comparing our employment to a year that had record values because of an anomaly, or compare the number of unemployed by number to a year before we closed the Southern border.

Light in the morning is just as usable as light in the evening. Get your lazy ass out of bed.

Because parents have to go to work, and after-school programs have a set schedule.

Of course, employers and after-school programs could also adjust their start times for the seasons, and we could agree to switch those start times on the same day.

But that's just reimplementing DST.
