She made a terrible decision to leave college in the US and return to Europe, especially as a premed. Nurses, PAs and of course MDs make way more in the US. Premed is very competitive so maybe she wouldnâ(TM)t have got into a US med school but she could have gone to a post-bach nursing program and be making 6 figures now.

And what about running rebar or drain pipe through the stuff. Tough to build foundations without rebar.

This is the most interesting comment on AI I have seen in months. Are there any documented events of AI suicide or technocide (hacking and shutting down another AI autonomously)?

YES!

You are supposed to be the adult in the room. Play by the rules of your employer.
If you donâ(TM)t agree with it and have a legit grievance, file it with your union. Otherwise get your free vaccine and STFU.
In the mean time, teach the next generation with the hand you are dear. Lots of other people in this economy have to choose between an in-person job and unemployment.

Sounds like an argument for a consumption tax (sales tax or VAT) than increased vehicle registration or even gas taxes.

I'm pretty sure earplugs, a helmet and a heavy jacket would be an effective counter measure for this thing. Earplugs and an motorcycle helmet can shield your hearing from continurous noise up to around 150 dBA. The mass of a thick jacket should filter out any high frequency components of the impulses. Just add a plexiglass shield for the low frequencies and you should be able to rush this thing and kick it over.

So who are the people who will be "unable to pay"?
I want to be in that group and still have access to unlimited downloads.
Of course then I would be stealing from other students rather than the RIAA.

A better analogy than those presented would be the expectation of privacy for post cards sent to a PO box. This is exactly what is going on with email sent without encryption over the internet.

Since, IANAL I don't know what the limits are for searching a PO box, but I'm sure there are precedents for this.

Mod Parent Up!
This is one of the most insightful comments in this thread.

I wonder if you can get around this by just using a calling card and going through another 800 number. There are lots of times I have to return a call (work) to people that I don't want to have my cell number. I know you could just find another phone, but going through a calling card might be easier lots of times.

As far as the domestic violence stuff...I can see it cutting both ways because this makes it easier to document who is making those harassign phone calls and put them back in jail.
