According to AI experts, the job most replaceable by AI is CEO. Which leads back to why in the world are they so fantastically overpaid?
You're asking why the ownership class in a capitalist system gives itself most of the money.
Lt. Col is the typical end rank of a 20 year career.
You should meet some military physicians.
They are made officers (we used to call them "direct input officers", dunno if they still do) and given inflated ranks for two reasons: to pay them sufficiently, but also to get them within the military accountability structure.
It's the accountability I wonder about.
As I understand it, officers in the Army Reserve are subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), and it does not matter if the behavior happened while off duty or not in uniform.
This means they can be demoted, fined or imprisoned for things such as "conduct unbecoming an officer", and it does not matter if the behavior happened while off duty or not in uniform.
The offense of “conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman” is based on the idea that officers are expected to possess certain moral attributes that make them fit to lead. For example, an officer who is dishonest, unfair in his treatment of others, indecent, indecorous, lawless, unjust, or cruel should not be leading our nation’s sons and daughters.
examples:
knowingly making a false official statement;
dishonorable failure to pay a debt; cheating on an exam;
opening and reading a letter of another without authority;
using insulting or defamatory language to another officer in that officer’s presence or about that officer to other military persons;
being drunk and disorderly in a public place;
public association with known prostitutes;
committing or attempting to commit a crime involving moral turpitude;
and failing without good cause to support the officer’s family.
Are you calculating rotations through the timecube?
If not, then whatever is wrong!!!
Not sure what you're saying is illegal in Germany, but almost all eavesdropping is illegal there.
Police radio in Germany has been encrypted since many years ago as it is in Great Britain, France, and just about every modern country.
I wonder who these "defund the police" types believe will happen with no police force.
For most of them, they think they'll be able to easily procure and do drugs as much as they want anywhere with no interference.
Their lower brain system sees police as an obstacle to their doing whatever they need to do to release more dopamine, so they hate the police.
Probbaly also their parents for the same reason.
Or just record all sound on each endpoint before it's encrypted and transmitted and after it's received and decrypted.
Upload and store it when the officer ends his shift.
Dispatch would have it all, anyway.
I can see no benefit whatsoever in rubber-neckers, thrill seekers, and the idle curious hearing about accidents, school shootings, and disasters in real time.
There's still plenty of denial about the causes of climate change,
There are still people who claim the earth is flat. No one is doing any research to disprove it. The barriers to reducing emissions are economic and political, not factual. Its hard to convince someone of something when their livelihood depends on it not being true. I think that idea is attributed to Mencken
Thank you.
This is what I meant when I said "The science is not relevant".
I mean at least with regards to the NWS and NOAA this is all published, public information, what the sensors are, where they are located, their historical data, it's just the skeptics have a financial anf ideological interest in acting like all this information does not exist
https://www.weather.gov/about/...
https://www.weather.gov/coop/
(this has over 4000 sites participating)
Not after Project 2025 and its stooge, DOGE, finishes cutting NOAA to pieces.
The science is not relevant.
The effects of global warming on the USA and Europe are not relevant to why there is a large and well funded movement against climate science.
Qui bono.
As for discerning fact from fiction, will people feel cheated, if their AI girlfriend turns out to actually be a clever middle-aged housewife picking up some extra cash while the kids are at school?
No, I'm not surprised that their default shutdown was actually coded something like "request tasks close, wait, and then shutdown" like every other OS shutdown out there. Have you never had to manually kill a hung task before the OS would terminate?
AI doesn't help with mixed martial arts either.
Or, more specifically, it doesn't help against opponents who learned MMA the old-fashioned way.
There is at least one HDD in Newport, Wales landfill that could be shredded.
Top tier schools have a minimum requirement of prospective students is that they will most likely to pass all their classes and graduate.
Secondly, they seek students who are most likely to be loyal - #1 = lifelong support of the school's endowment, and then giving preference to fellow alumni when making business decisions, using political influence to favor the school when possible, etc.
If you don't care for the essay, how about in-person at-home interviews?
When my kids went through the Ivory League in-person at-home interviews, that is what they were looking for. They can't really ask those things directly, but they can get a feel for it if you come from that kind of background or social class. They're looking for "are you going to play the game in the right way, and are you even aware of the game"?
That's why legacy admissions are so important. They know you're part of the game because your family has been part of it, but they still need to check for facial tattoos and grillz.
Second tier schools have far too many students and lack the resources to use personal interviews, so there's the essay.
Do you play the game or not? Are you even aware of the game?
I ask if the process is interruptible because then it could be a good use for solar energy. Process the iron ore when the sun is up and electricity is cheap, and shutdown when it's not.
You'll need a relatively minimal amount of battery/storage to keep the lights on at night, but not so much as trying to run 7/24.
Real Programmers don't write in PL/I. PL/I is for programmers who can't decide whether to write in COBOL or FORTRAN.
