If you needed insurance or healthcare were you able to obtain it?

Get your government hands off my Medicaid!

Fixed that for you.

I've always contended had he simply said "Yea, I got a blowjob in the Oval Office. You would have too if yo had the chance..." the whole thing would have blown over and never come up again. Nixon probably could have survived if he hadn't tried to cover up Watergate, served out his term and pardon the whole crew.

This isn’t just Sony. The original rights owners decided not go renew licenses, and Sony had no choice but to yank them or likely pay far more for continued access than they were worth. Any purchase should include a permanent non irrevocable right to access the content so customers companies like Sony can still legally provide access to them even if they lose the fights to sell or stream it. If the seller goes out of business or shutters servers, they have a right to a downloadable digital copy.

You mean the religious schools forcing their crap on kids and it being paid with taxpayer money?

The change to prioritize what you have installed over showing web content is a plus. I generally avoid using the search on the taskbar because I don't care about web content when I am doing a search for stuff already on my computer.

Young people see how poorly paid people in different fields are, and decide not to go in that direction. Health care is one example, where you hear about doctors being paid well, but then, all of the others getting paid very little. Nurses need to go on strike to get paid properly all over the place and on a regular basis, and that doesn't talk about the rest of the staff in a hospital.

You also have to look at where things will be in the next 20 years. With the Baby Boomers, when that generation dies off, there will be a drop in the need for health care jobs, or there will be an excessive number of them, but prices won't drop in the competition to bring in patients, so prices will remain high while there are too many health care offices around for the demand. Health care is actually an area that I expect will implode in the next 20 years. Technology jobs, yep, we are surrounded by technology, but the number of decent paying jobs are fairly low outside of the cities. How much can you charge to repair something that only costs $500 when new? So, lots of work to be done, but really, the pay doesn't reflect the level of skill needed, and that causes the overall economy to suffer as well.

The reality is that the culture in much of the USA doesn't favor education and having an educated population, and you need an educated population to handle the jobs that are available.

There are areas around the USA where people are against those with a college education. They complain that colleges "indoctrinate" people against religion, and nonsense like that. So, with a CULTURE and politicians that support that, it is no wonder we aren't teaching the skills needed for many jobs these days. That is when those same anti-education people complain about immigrants that come and take the available jobs.

I agree, and such as mistake could easily end wrong, as the officers pointed out. I am not excusing the mistake made by the police, but there are a few compounding errors that made this happen. First - no check if it is a valid tag number on entry. You'd think Flock would at least do that, as well has have some pattern recognition to pull up an error when the entered number does not match the expected sequence to flag it for review. Secondly, no check to see how often taht tag number pops up and where so if it gets a hit the same day a thousand miles away lag it for review. CA only allows stolen for missing tags. I don't know what info Flock provides, but giving make/model/color with the tag could also help prevent errors since the cops would realize the stolen tag matched the car using it; although depending on how manufacturer tags are used it may not have helped in this particular situation. This is the classic cascading failures that resulted in the outcome.

A pro also isn't going to HD with his wife. Thefts by pros disappear quickly because, well, they are pros and want to avoid getting caught.

The problem, as shown in TFA, is the 10 are 2 small numbers stacked vertically between the 34 and DTM, so they get overlooked. Should the police looked closer, sure, but I can also see why the made the error because the 34 DTM is in much larger font size.

Yes, and should be legally liable for damages in cases like this. At. minimum, if there system catches 34 DTM in multiple areas at the same time, that's signs of a problem, and the art of pattern a computer should be good at detecting. The inability to report a tag as lost also means for this edge case it gets a stolen marker. You could tag it as lost and inform the tag owner not to reuse it if found, and if the correct number was entered if it shows up on a vehicle again mark it as stolen. That of course, would require work and changing a system.

Anduril, Palantir, Mithril Capital, Valar Vantures, Erebor Capital, Rohan AI, Rivendell One, Lembas LLC, Sauron Systems......All in open use today. The worst part is its all racist/classist dog whistles. They use this framing to indicate they are fighting to save 'the Western World' and all the shittiness that entails.

From TFA:

Seems Apple has what they may need from their own systems. Given Apple's penchant for secrecy, they should have known Apple could see what tehy did and use it against them and OpenAI. I would also not be surprised if some employees who interviewed but didn't leave Apple told the approbate people was OpenAI was asking or in interviews.

What I don't get if you're a long term Apple employee at a relatively senior level, why risk everything you've made in stock alone by doing something that risks losing everything or a big chunk of it in a settlement? OpenAI could through them under the bus to save the company if needed, after all.

The difficulty would depend on what data the camera provides, analysis of traffic past the camera and available information about the locations of potential interest. A serious effort would be more than hacking cameras, it would include on the ground surveillance to collect information on route terrain, what identifying information cameras openly broadcast, correlating that with camera information and footage collected, etc. Government cameras such as traffic cameras might be a better target since they would likely be on areas of interest already and fewer to review.

Machine learning tools could make it somewhat easier to sort results into cameras of interest. Of course, it's a huge data set to go through if you want useful information. Depending on how many cameras you accessed you could just have people look at them and decide that way.

Is this some intelligence operation? Who knows. It's not cheap nor easy to get useful information, but something a state actor could certainly attempt to do if they want to dedicate the resources to it.

Per TFA,it's civilian cameras on transit routes, so what it sounds like is they look for cameras along major roads and hack into them to follow shipments. It would not surprise me if they were trying to hack phones/watches/fitness bands or anything that can track individual then look at data to try to find the drivers by correlating the data with traffic data.

When China invites people because they have skill, they don't set the power of the government to harass those people. Here in the USA, the current administration is not only turning people away who want or wanted to come, but those who ARE allowed to come are then assaulted by ICE in many cases. That is what makes the USA obviously hostile toward immigrants as well as visitors.

They are secretly drawn to that sort of thing, but don't want to admit it to themselves. The moment they see it, their desire goes in a direction that they don't like to admit is there, and they freak out. So, don't show it so they can stay in the closet is their true reason.
