Are these people bloody amateurs?

Nonsense.

Highly likely.

Fired police are routinely hired by other agencies after being fired for cause. Substance abuse, abuse of power, it doesn't matter; this is commonplace, your ignorance not withstanding. Agencies are limited by union rules, which have the force of law via contract, from investigation of previous employment with other agencies; unless an actual criminal conviction occurs, whatever the relevant cause may have been essentially doesn't exist. The people making the hiring decisions are, likewise, union members, and are beholden to the union in their processes and decision making.

This reality is so prevalent it has a name: "Wandering Officer." You're free to dispel your ignorance on the matter with a 1700+ page analysis from 2020 if you wish.

While this is essentially correct, you're missing critical information: the plaintiffs they fear more than any other are public sector unions.

Compiz was GREAT even if you ignored literally all of the visual effect "slop" as you call it. It's got a great set of tools for controlling windows, including window rules which are very powerful. If you don't know about those other tools then you should perhaps have spent more time in ccsm back when it was relevant.

Unfortunately, as you say it is for X11 only (although for me that is not a drawback because Wayland is still bad, especially if you have Nvidia and I do) and more importantly it is not well-maintained software and it's therefore flaky AF, so it's not relevant now.

If you have a decent CPU it might run on that at half speed or so.

Seriously, what do you expect? That Windows "Enterprise" is somehow magically managed any better by MS?

"This wasn't a hack. This was the AI doing *exactly* what it was told to do."

He didn't hack the AI. The AI hacked the booking website. Hacking means making hardware or software do something it wasn't designed to do. It doesn't mean it's hard.

While all that is true, the USA has been doing exactly the same thing, so just go ahead and mention that to maintain perspective.

Treason isn't defined by morality, but by giving aid or comfort to the enemy.

We'd have to define one of these dictatorships that Trump is always jerking off as an enemy and not merely an adversary to make it big-"T"-Treason.

Congress lacks any semblance of a spine so that's not happening.

Lolol some armchair warrior hates facts.

I get trained on HIPAA every year...

Similarly plastic bottles should have labels designed to be removed by machines

It's how it used to be done here. Unfortunately for every step the recycling industry takes, the packaging industry runs 10 in the opposite direction and the regulators are fucking useless.

See for example how they snatched defeat from the jaws of victory with the vape bill and made it basically worthless.

By complete coincidence I recently purchased this cordless angle grinder kit after watching a glowing review from one of my regular channels and wondering how good it could be for $75. It's not as good as a Milwaukee but I've been using it around the house and I'm going to modify a shoe rack with it this evening.

Of course this has nothing to do with the story and surely these aren't the types of arms the Framers envisioned when they set the foundation of upholding the Constitution upon the duties of the Citizenry.

If you're right then the fix is just to pay people to sort it all, don't need an AI for that.

No, because it's a really shit job, sometimes literally so.

The fix is to build a MRF (material recovery facility) with a combination of glass crushers, ballistic sorters, trommels, magnets, eddy current devices and optical sorters, all of which are vastly quicker than a person, though imperfect. You then pay people to do the jobs which are harder to automate (i.e. quality control on the output of the earlier sorting processes, or recover of what wasn't successfully sorted).

But really it only works if people put a vague approximation of recyclables into recycling bins, i.e. very basic source sorting. That seems to be an absolute anathema to many Americans for reasons which are unclear to me.

But what are they? Are they reasonable? Will they be able to weasel out trivially?
