Yeah, there are a bunch of annoyances. Some they got rid of after decades of stubbornness, like only resizing windows by one corner.
The worst for me is the cmd key sits right next to the space bar. Makes copy/paste so much more difficult. Don't think they'll ever change that.
Windows UI seems snappier.
There are some AI applications that need to be hosted on-prem due to privacy reasons and are not even connected to the Internet. One example is an internal tool that gets a feed of logs from all other applications and performs real-time analysis and generates alerts as well as suggests root-cause and potential fix, etc.
How about people who're obese? Those who consume alcohol? Eating too much red meat? Potato chip abusers?
Need I continue? Where would you draw the line on exercising personal autonomy for socialized medical care? Or even denied private care?
I'm not white and have been with a bunch of white beer drinking friends on vacation in the Caribbean a few times. I was the only one targeted not only by mosquitos but sandflies and other invisible critters. It is agonizing when you wake up in the middle of the night with your arms and legs on fire! The blisters last for more than a week after returning. Bug sprays on subsequent trips didn't seem to help at all.
I have met a few others (both men and women) who have had similar experiences.
The summary specifically says this is a vulnerability if password data is exposed in a hack.
It's not about brute forcing against a password server
Consider in the US how Jews have made massively disproportionate contributions to science and creative arts. How much of the reason for that is cultural vs genetic? I don't know, but I'm not shocked that a geneticist said it has a strong genetic component.
But you do realize that not all people of Jewish faith are of the Jewish race? So was it people of the Jewish race that are the outlier?
and if robo car kills an kid who will do the hard time?
Same as when a person does: no one. Car "accidents" i.e. crashes are treated more like an act of nature than either a collisions cause by an individual making poor decisions, and more importantly (especially in North America) by a system set up to rely as heavily as possible on flawed human decisions with little thought to inherent safety in road design.
Basically, people don't really care.
I think you are wrong. People do hard time in cases of traffic accidents. Especially if it results in fatalities. For example, in Canada:
Impaired driving causing death: 4 to 10 years
Dangerous driving causing death: Up to life
Criminal negligence causing death: 4 to life
Hit and run: Up to life
The above are just general figures.
A few actual examples:

Or "one half". I mean a half is a half why add "one" before it?
Try fireflies.ai. it's pretty good and better than Teams AI.
You invite a fireflies agent to a meeting. At the end it will summarize the salient points from any shared presentation/docs and who said what etc.
- Cross-border fighting continued for four days before a ceasefire was declared after Pakistan ate some of India's Falafels. I mean Rafales.
Fixed that for you!
Part 2 reminds me of Asimov's, "The Bicentennial Man" where a robot wanted to be a human.
it is just the borders in which their tribe lives and more often than not they view the central government with deep suspicion.
Yup. That pretty much describes the Republican pary in the US!
I thought the dog whistle started with, "when Mexicos sends its people . . . " and culminated with "they're eating the dogs".
Obama deported the most illegal immigrants in history. But his fault was that he didn't demonize Mexicans.
Apparently that's what the majority of Americans wanted!
First, they deleted all my apps from the app store. The excuse being that I hadn't "updated" them for a while, and I'm not talking about complying with the latest APIs. Then they deleted my account for lack of activity, i.e., updating of existing apps or uploading new ones.
The computer is to the information industry roughly what the central power station is to the electrical industry. -- Peter Drucker
