Any article that mentions the decline of teen fertility as a problem is a propaganda piece. Its authors are awful human beings and deserve to rot in hell for all eternity.

In 2026, teens should not ever be getting pregnant. We don't live in that world any longer. Whoever that bothers needs to rethink their life choices.

If you know French, "faible" means weak. Pronounced very close to Fable, and in the usual french order for modifiers after the noun. I'd prefer "infirm" which means lame!

Having worked numeric neural-nets, I'll add that NNs are very hard to tune in any desired direction. Often you have to do the opposite of what you'd expect.

Hardly new, sloppy police work has been around for at least 800 years (Magna Carta) and will persist so long as the drive to punish outweighs the costs of error.

This being egregious, and CA, I do hope the falsely jailed wins supersized compensation to caution others with a higher than zero cost of error. A feature (not bug) of the American system (McD coffee scald).

From what the SWEs tell me, they expect to be fired within 2 years anyway, they're just cashing in the stupid monery paycheck while they can.

What I'd love to know is the levels of shadow IT people are going through.

It sounds slow, expensive, and invasive.

Obviously we're in a world where young people do not know how to communicate via messaging systems, online web apps and email. They need to be physically sitting on a file cabinet in my cube while I slam obscure commands into a terminal and swear semi-silently at every typo.

I don't know who writes all this shit, but my experience is that our new hires have less desire to be in an office, in a strange city far from home, than I do.

Is this really a top performing game device, or just a thin client to sell cloud SAAS crap? I'm not always attached to the internet and I'm not interested in renting my compute.

To cut surface tension, I spray my compressed puck with dilute 1% detergent (dishwashing) and compress again after it soaks in. Espresso comes out stronger and with more crema. I cannot detect the detergent (lemon).

I diddled some children, so you're fired.

Not every event can be the biggest wealth transfer in history.
Was this as big as the Dot Com crash? The Great Recession? COVID?

NO.

The Zip Drive was really great in moving large files around.
I had a Parallel port ZIP drive and I remember it being quite slow.
It was alro really annoying if you daisy-chained your printer on to it.

The ZIP drive needed to be the first device in the chain, so it had the highest priority for data (as it was closer to the CPU).
This kind of hindered the portability of the drive, since then you had to unplug your printer, and you had to unplug the drive from the PC.

The Jaz drive was the real workhorse. I got exposure to that through my Dad's work, where it was possible to loan it for a day or so.

A few years later in 1998 I got an LS-120 "Super floppy" drive, that would read regular floppies, and the LS-120 disks that held the equivalent of 120 floppies. That drive was pretty good, but then USB sticks were just around the corner, followed by consumer grade CD Writer drives.

Let's hope Oracle never buys them out. They'll assert ownership over dBase, defeature it, try to sue anyone who targets it and replace it in the storyline.

I await the news that Google has the keys to this and use it for.

You're unlikely to hear this news without either another Snowden level leak, or a very long, drawn out legal battle.

Anyway, mayhem the billionaires will make their own slaves.

I don't know where to start:

trolling electronic DBs without suspicion? (Laws were written for individual search)

Interstate trolling DBs by non-TN acredited LEOs?

Issuing arrest warrents without any corroboarating evidence?

acting on a warrent without any checking?

Other?

Mistakes will happen, you are guaranteeing more if they are not effectively prevented and ultimately punished.

LEOs are all about seeing people punished for mistakes. They must accept same for their own.
