the recaptchas aren't actually checking the images, that's AI training data work you're doing for free. Behind the scenes Google is comparing data from across all of the sites using recaptcha to decide whether it knows who you are or not. They are, in effect, using mass surveillance to determine whether the login attempt is a threat.

Yup. Lying about qualifications is bad, but where public safety is concerned the individual's veracity must be irrelevant. They need to dig their way out of a culture of corruption, but you can't do they so long as bureaucrats can hide behind "but he lied!"

Maybe they'd be better off *not* criminalizing this sort of conduct. Not because it's good to lie about qualifications, but because no corporation or public agency should be able to use "he lied, it's his fault" as an excuse for failing to do their due diligence regarding the qualifications of an employee, particularly where public safety is concerned.

Seems like folks focused on the "Anthropocene" part of the album name and maybe overlooked the play on the word misanthrope.

That's a bit disingenuous. "Grimes" is a brand and by featuring her voice lesser-known/unknown artists will get more automatic playlist plays on streaming services. That's in addition to the manual plays when people want to check out the "AI ft. Grimes" song.

This is failure to comprehend the user story underlying the use of email in OP's example. You're assuming an email always needs to be sent, and that as a consequence any transfer mechanism outside of email represents additional steps. OP's user was using email as a way of maintaining a record of when files were distributed. Email is not the only, nor best, way to accomplish that. There are plenty of file management and version control systems out there which can handle arbitrarily large files, and which would not require the sending of an email. Drag file into UI, tag appropriately and @ the recipient(s), done.

The latency is on par with existing cable modem service -- 20 ms or so. That's just fine for wifi calling, doesn't matter if it's cable, fiber or low-latency satellite.

Satellite phones are illegal in India without a waiver from the government, because "terrorism". I'm quite surprised these are being permitted, given they work just fine as a portable hotspot for VoIP.

Yea, it's the "we can't all have private planes" problem. The wealthy command a ridiculous amount of material goods and money.. but if you gave that money to everyone then suddenly prices would go up drastically. I'm absolutely on board with the wealthy and corporations footing the lion's share of tax bills, but the idea that redistributing their cash to the rest of us directly would accomplish anything meaningful is absurd.

Salaries may be adjusted during the hiring phase, but I've done both remote and field-service work for several businesses over the years; the contracts written up by the employers have always had a clause which prevented my salary from being adjusted downward if I relocated, even if it was entirely on my own initiative. More likely what we will see is that salaries for new telework hires will be lower than those for silicon valley, due to lower COL -- but also higher than necessary for COL in a state such as WV. The paradigm will be reversed; instead of the COL for the location setting the salary, the marginal cost of labor nationally will define the salary, and the talent pool will be free to decide how and where to live.

It doesn't require an open flame. Children's sleepwear wasn't doused with fire-retardants out of an abundance of caution -- kids were catching fire from seemingly-trivial events, such as walking near/bumping into a space heater, or sparks from a fireplace in winter. In fact, the serious or fatal injuries befalling children in pajamas is basically the CPSC's origin story.

Depends. From the complaint, this wasn't a one-off demo where it's hard to prove infringement. The airline purportedly brought him in multiple times, having him demonstrate the various features and design to multiple stakeholders, as part of what they claimed was their purchasing process. He may be able to argue that they didn't steal the idea, but rather that they misrepresented their position in order to steal his specific solution to a problem rather than develop their own.

I've had several IP agreements, but they have only ever covered IP related to my role, not any and all independently-developed IP for which my employer can find a use. An app which smooths flight operations is grey area, I think. The app fundamentally has nothing to do with pilots or flight.

Yea, the encryption wasn't broken, the device simply encrypted two copies of every message, one for the recipient and one for the FBI. That does make me wonder though, do 4th Amendment protections not apply here, at least to subjects within the US or with US citizenship? Anom was clearly acting as a government agent; the software was custom-tailored under pressure from the FBI.

This submission is worthless, since the claimed reason for the suspension is at odds with Twitter's own.
