Best Buy warehouses work on that schedule. Sundays are off, except during peak. You're supposed to get two days off a week, but it's entirely possible for the non-Sunday day off to be Monday of one week and Saturday of the next. T

They're still backlit LED LCD screens with relatively low brightness and no local dimming AFAIK. They're HDR in the same way lower-end LG TVs of the past few years have been HDR, I suppose.

This is going to be an interesting conundrum, however, when one considers that both Gen X and Millennials are projected to live shorter lives than the Baby Boomers.

It's not impossible that these tests measure something other than general intelligence, that just happens to correlate with social outcomes (like historical, relative familial wealth). IIRC general intelligence also doesn't simply

Well, 2 things: 1) The entrenched power structures will be most able to abuse this technology, as they have the social structure through which the technology acts on their side, and 2)The lack of any authority, central or otherwise, makes t
