My or Humpty’s ability to choose meaning doesn’t ensure the listener will understand it the same way though. Even if you do expect someone to understand and feel appropriate context is present, misunderstandings occur regularly in all types

The option is becoming rare amongst most large retailers I frequent and only exists in my local Home Depots if I go stand through the contractor lines in the lumber section. I've gotten used to the expectation that I will be my own cas

Ok if the law defines the term, that answers my question. I wasn't sure what level of grey area connotation was being discussed.

The courts may disagree. That's why I'm curious if the comment was from a legal context. If we had prior case law of them distinguishing one definition in favor of another, I'd feel more certain about all the assertations bei

Sure it does. I can use words any way I want. But there are agreed upon legal definitions and there are agreed upon industry terms/definition; you are talking about one of them (which sounds like industry not legal). If there's no

I highly doubt they stopped there. If they're doing that already, they're taking the time/expense to scan hours of footage later and they would absolutely go further and assign each face a risk score based on what they think

Is this coming from legal definitions? Because, one of the valid dictionary definitions of "recognition" is simply acknowledging something exists. No prior knowledge needed for that, other than the generic training the facial dete

No. When you look at it that way you need to consider the crime that's never committed due to the risk of being imprisoned poses. Given how shitty people in the US treat each other, just during minor disputes/traffic/misunder

I'm not a trained cashier, if I forget to scan something it's not the same as theft. Not sure how it would play out in a court situation but this is always my go-to when I get accused of fucking something up in the store; also why

As a US citizen, I feel it’s opposite. Hard to imagine they’d want anything related to visas to be easy.

Yeah sorry to make it sound easy. I learned all this on YouTube and tailored those lessons to my needs, so just a nod to the fact that tons of much better resources already exist. I have no official training, if a finance bro like me can fi

What happens to stock market when everyone is given 100k to invest? The inflation adjustment is likely understated as you’re basing on historical factors and this is large macro shock to the system that needs to be adjusted for as well. I a

1.6m in 40 years probably won’t move the needle much more than 100k does today. Besides that, we’re not trying to solve peoples distant retirements we’re trying to solve peoples lives today , or that’s how I interpret the article

This is a fun project to take on. Couple years ago I built an autonomous controlled chassis onto a push reel mower (removed handles of course). It’s not as safe as the typical robot mower given they use tiny blades to trim (and reel mower w

Everyone had problems that winter. It was pretty universally felt. How you recover from it is where your economic status changes your experience. If you are under insured or can’t come up with your insurance deductible you’re pretty screwed

I’m a Texas native and I feel one easy change here is simple and cheap. We should popularize the concept of utilizing residential transfer switches and portable generators for emergency backup. It goes along with our go-it-alone philosophy

Merchants pay what they’re charged on a transaction by transaction basis. That is unless they have some agreement with Stripe or similar that provides a fixed percentage. If you get a full merchant account as a business, with IC+ billing or

Absolute stability in that manner is nearly never the goal. Plenty of web standards have been deprecated. They gently push things in a direction and cull what is seen as low value or high risk. I'm not advocating for or against this sp

The card issuers used to prohibit it, not been the case in a while though. They used to prohibit having a minimum transaction amount or charging transaction fees to your customer too. It never stopped small merchants though
