Parents are insane and demand access to their kids at all times. My son goes to a private school, and I was on the board of trustees when we basically did the same thing the NYS requires three years ago. The drama and insanity was beyond an

It’s a big issue. I went to an urgent care, and the provider basically went off somewhere and memorized the ChatGPT assessment for my symptoms. Like word for word. All you need are a few patients recording their visits and connecting the do

That’s not a very robust assessment. And even there, the 2.5% reduction is a nothingburger. A busy fast food has like 50 employees working 15-25 hours on average. That works out to a loss of 2-3 people. These stores have been doing that typ

I don’t understand why anyone would buy a GM car. This is just frosting on the cake.

He used Orthodox Jewish communities with top down leaders as a core machine style voting bloc. The whole community turns out and did what the head guy says, just like the old Tammany Hall. I’m sure plenty of people “moved” from their upstat

Fascinating, yet rents have increased faster than inflation even as rent control has waned in NYC. The problem with citing studies from 1992 is that you’re missing the last 25 years of war inflation hidden through various schemes of quantit

Obama took a mea culpa on parts of implementation, namely the federal marketplace website (they weren’t expected as many states to opt out of the marketplace) and the “keep your plan” narrative. It was a compromise law that was in alignment

He’ll have a hard time getting most of his stuff through. Rent regulation and busses are controlled by authorities that work for the governor, and she is facing an election against Sara Huckabee Part 2 - Elise Stefanik. The MAGAs will dump

Sometimes. I had a kid who’d get his buddies together and ambush me in the way out of school. His mom was an employee and the school staff would mysteriously not see anything involving him. He then came at me by himself with a stick when I

I agree with you totally, although I'd venture to guess 20% is way too high. I'd say you have about 10% people doing security work, 15% doing compliance, and the rest are consuming oxygen. It's a growth field, so you have lot

Exactly. That drives alot of the faddish nature of business. After Microsoft and Adobe started printing money with SaaS, suddenly everyone decided that selling software, one of the most lucrative businesses to ever be devised was a loser. E

You should see the accounting bullshittery around data centers!

It’s actually illegal, but we don’t have laws anymore.

It’s an opportunity to find out which military officers are good soldiers vs. good men.

I see that as a way to compel behavior. RealID offers no discernible, positive benefit to the people.

Many people have romantic notions about the country. Reality is there are “good” areas and bad. Lots of helplessness and poverty, shitty agricultural and industrial operators destroying the environment. The beautiful areas are breathtaking

It’s really hard to study because population is so diffuse and sometimes don’t align with geography. My mom used to work in public health research, and one example that was hard to quantify was suspected cancer clusters around roads that we

I don’t disagree with you, but it’s irrelevant to the topic of electronic passport credentials. Flock doesn’t need ID, and the pervasive surveillance is being done at the backend. The federal regime is linking everything together with Palan

No, it’s a core tenet of bureaucracy. None of this stuff existed outside of diplomatic circles as recently as a century ago. Nations and kingdoms have been able to assert sovereignty for eons.

Electronic passports are about faster processing. The nerd drama is mostly irrelevant.

Enhanced can only be issued to US citizens to allow the border crossing. RealID doesn’t offer much benefit. They validate your SSN and right to be in the country at a point in time. It’s more a political football than anything.

Probably the most spot on assessment I’ve read in years. I’m kind of stuck with golden handcuffs for a time, but I’m deeply uncomfortable with the toxic behaviors I have to engage in to allow my team to thrive. It’s bad for the soul.

Exactly. I think the difference is that we've developed a cadre of people are think 24x7 about capturing value in a way that makes dotcom era moguls look naive. AI is a powerful and compelling technology, full stop. The sausage making

It’s probably hard to do that in a news context because the real rationales are pretty tight. Depending on your POV OpenAI and the surrounding AI hype machine is at the extremes either the dawn of a new era, or a metastasized financial can

That's reductive and silly. Here's the scenario: 1. You work for AWS, probably in account management or billing operations. 2. Your "buddy" in legal tells you that a subpeona has been processed that effects an Israeli go

It depends on the context. I’ve gathered evidence to support prosecution of an individual disclosing PHI who was doing so to facilitate criminal acts.

The shareholders of Microsoft or Amazon are deprived of their value.

The payments are an act of fraud as they deprive the company of resources for no tangible business purpose. No contract authorizes the use of payments to bypass communications controls and exfiltrate data. The act of communicating privilege

I’d assume they have agents inside the companies smoothing the way or even running interference against any inconvenient questions.

In context of the United States, there are a small number of actors that stand to lose billions to renewables. I live in the Northeast. Solar reduced my grid demand by 40%. That translates to a full recoup of the investment in 60-65 months
