What are these things you call books?

Or someone else in the room to help you. Really I am just speechless as to how stupid an idea this was. Some AI co probably paid someone off to get this to happen. And the AI co should get stuck with the bill for the lie they told that this was a good idea.

As others have said, cheating its a thing. A friend did a part time gig for awhile last year to proctor exams for various companies. It is a well known proctoring co for professional exams of all sorts. The room had cameras, he verified photo id's, longer exams had breaks and I think upon re-entry for bathroom breaks he re-verified id. Talking was not allowed, distance was maintained between test takers even for different tests. Phones were not allowed. Any disturbance caused by someone was immediate removal, disqualification of the exam. Hard to cheat. And as I recall, my friend had a background check done on him before he was hired, and was supervised for like 10 tests before he was allowed to do it alone.

I recall for ACT and GMAT's I think I had to show photo id to get into the exam area. Exactly how thru some camera are they going to even verify id? Like I said, speechless as to how stupid this was to save a buck. And now they are paying probably 10X the cost as a result of the stupidity.

The 3 BYD's on the list add up to 54K roughly vs the tesla 38K sales. I'd say BYD takes the sales crown for the month. From what I've read, for me I'd want the SU7. Zero interest in the Y. The latest butt on the Y went from bad to worse.

Let me think, where did I leave my jet? oops don't have one. Where did I leave my yacht that won't fit in most harbors, so I need a second one as a shuttle? Oops don't have either. The Bezos's and Musk's ARE consuming way more than the average schlump. Just exactly how much Jet fuel & diesel(for the yacht) do you burn in a day? And nobody moved a bridge out of the way to deliver anything to me ever, and never will.

Now to your other point, who exactly do you think is in health care? Nurses, Doctors, admitting people, staff. Most of them are under 55. So the over 55's and mainly over 75's are paying younger people for services. Sort of like when Bezos crew of 40 on his primary boat and the extra 20 on the support boat. I imagine all are younger than he. The main difference is very very very few of those over 75's are burning up wads of fuel that do go up in smoke in a single voyage around the harbor or a little jet trip around the world this evening.

Well there is this. https://www.reuters.com/world/... Not a drunk, well more like someone drunk with power. Of course still in appeal. And will be for my lifetime. FSD my ass.

I expect many, and not just by ebay. Look no further than the crap Weinstein, Cosby, etc have pulled and they were not even that wealthy. Then you get into the epstein class which is a whole nuther level of rich. I believe one of the fundamental problems is NDA's. They have morphed from protecting trade secrets to protecting the wealthy. Clamp down on that and I think daylight will start to peak thru. How about make NDA's what they were for, keeping professional secrets secret. Not who was at the wedding and who got drunk. It has gotten to be silly. And worse often times these NDA's are used to silence criminal acts. Good on this couple to require the payment not to be saddled with an NDA keeping their mouths shut. Otherwise, we never would have heard about this one.

Cough, Mitch McConnell, Cough.

Well not all of us will. But the gatekeepers like google and facebook can do very well taking a cut of the money for each job. Gives a whole new method to the phrase haircut. Is it really any surprise facebook is pushing their new glasses? Tech is merely adopting the casino approach, "the house always wins".

Not sure that helps google in this case. Is google search following the tos of every web site it scrapes? I kind of doubt it. I'm not sure google requiring the web owner to satisfy google's robots.txt format would qualify either, and from what I understand, google doesn't really follow it anyway. No it would require google to read and digest the web owners TOS and to follow it.

Agreed. Had a couple profs in college do "tricks" to out various bad behaviors. I was good with it.
