Maybe a stupid, stupid question: would one party or two party really matter at all if it were a public place, and not a conversation that is meant to be private (as in, an attempt was not made to make it private), for instance?

Retaliation for protected activities like unionizing would be illegal.

Naw, just because some people are too lazy or stupid to avoid generalizing doesn't mean you're right to keep it going.

Where exactly is there a requirement like this? Not in the USA...

30 minute break every 8 hours - same as pretty much all jobs, have to get a 30 minute break in an 8 hour shift (I think for other jobs it's for a shift more than 6 hours).

Please let this mean the eventual end of Microsoft Flight Simulator using a FUCKING WEBVIEW2 FOR THE UI AND GAUGES! I GET that native gui apps ablnd games can be a pain in the dick, but here is NO reason in a SIMULATION GAME for something that can fuck performance, where performance matters.

How can the concept of conscious AI itself be a myth, desired or undesired?

All the citations needed.

In this context I have no idea, but there are a lot of hobby laser engravers / cutters that use diodes (which I think are LEDs) in a certain system to generate a laser beam. I wonder if AI got confused writing that part of the article or something?

And why can you no longer see when backing up? The backup lights are now super dim.

I really never thought NY would have worse inspections than CA, but yea - we have emissions testing, all sorts of physical inspections - you can fail on torn wiper blades. In fact, I think it's a bit of a scam of the inspection garages to force you to buy cheap wiper blades at jacked up prices to pass you. Oh, and no CEL for any reason I think.

The emissions testing is the worst though - we're way out in a rural area, and I think the number of cars junked cause fixing emissions (otherwise run fine) may well be worse for the environment.

Is this a Europe only thing? At least in the US DLR are mostly useful for the people who will not turn on their headlights till they need to see as dusk occurs. Un-disablable auto low beams would do the same thing. IDK why there are so many people who insist on driving almost in the dark with their lights off, but there are a noticeable amount. They also help (and auto lights would help) with people driving in cities with overhead lights and apparently again not realizing their lights are off when they drive out of the coverage of the streetlights. I see this a lot on super highways etc leaving an urban area.

The second useful place is people who ignore weather conditions like strong overcast, rain, fog etc making it hard to see as well.

I've never found weak lights being on or off affecting my ability to see a motorcycle or other vehicle outside of twilight or weather conditions generally.

Depends on the airport, time of day, route, etc - for much shorter routes , for much longer flights that seems absurdly impossible though.

Why would you include waiting at the airport though in the travel time (boarding and baggage retrieval, which also assumes someone has to be checking on bags too (another potential assumption error))? I mean, if the measure is getting between two points, why not just compare the travel between two points (which can include taxiing to the runway, to the gate, at the airport)?

I really wish they'd bring back the Modulex line of bricks (which was meant for architects and capable of making proper scale buildings due to the 5:5 width/length ratio (vs LEGO's 6.5:5 width/length). If I want to make scale models using LEGOs currently, I CAN, but there are some tricks I'd need to employ that would blow the size of my model up even more size-wise (and given the size of LEGOs some of the model ideas I want to make can get kinda hefty).

And with it, a slew of comments on YT, Twitter/X, etc, by idiots who exlaime "the public domain is a mistake" or what such fiddle faddle when they see character-turned-into-horror-movie slop (ignoring that good things take time to be made, and that the public domain serves a very important purpose).

Good thing people can't slap other people through their monitors, I'd have very sore hands in resposne to those nitwits.

Maybe another silly question, but how many of the memory vulnerabilities and other bugs we see from those utilizing C would be more likely to be mitigated if programmers in C were not just made well aware of them / their cause, the ways to prevent them (either on the job or in relevant education in school or elsewhere), AND if programmers and engineers had the time they needed to design things properly, implement them, and TEST THEM (as in, if the development processes slowed down for fuck's sake)? Sure feels like everything (not just program development) is way too fast paced these days.
