Yea in fact the ACA law caps insurers to a maximum of 15% profit. Anything extra must be rebated back to the customers. The debatable part is the rebate is back to the employer who is allowed to simply pocket the money, though one could arg

This is public housing. Some people simply can't afford AC as the city isn't paying for utilities in all buildings (it does in some). Some people you can see have an AC unit in the bedroom instead of the living room and so on. But

Don't worry, I assume BNPL service integration will come and it will become the default payment method. The capitalists want people to spend spend spend spend spend. Consequently, its why we have the term lifestyle creep and people hav

Home Depot is still garbage at shoplifting preventation. Can never walk in and buy a p-trap kit without every one of them missing parts.

Yep, paying out the remaining value of the contract is generally the default-court acceptable manner to terminate a contract. And it's probably in there as a clause. However, if Flock was really being evil, they could argue in court th

I have a Yoga Slim 7x, which has the ARM. Screen quality is fantastic along with build quality, touchpad and keyboard feel :shrug: It really depends on what Laptop line you buy. Dells have overwhelmingly become garbage, right next to HP. Sp

I think the point is it's green washing. True sustainability is public transit, or biking or walking. This is just a line item got a company to blast as sustainability in marketing. This will let Waymo absorb some money from green wash

Those "local presence" numbers are highly depleted and highly unlikely to be available for MVNOs. Not to mention you don't need to be basically present in NYC to use those numbers. The real reason this shit is in NYC is becau

I would wager a huge majority of text messages in NYC will go through either RCS or iMessages which skips the SMS layer and instead goes direct to data.

It's likely a "crime-web" service host. They are probably somewhere in Manhattan or Brooklyn to have enough tower cells to handle it (tis the benefits of a dense city for this type of operation). They probably gradually grew

Were they? I haven't seen that stated anywhere. The news report from NYTimes does say "the cartels were using it too". >One official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said agents also found 80 grams of cocaine, ille

"Within 35 miles" is basically all of NYC and the surrounding suburban area lol. It's a ridiculous statement. This was probably just a phone botnet for online botting purposes, where you want IP addresses in not-obviously-thi

Yep. Consumers are screwed and $500/month electric bills are coming for the average consumer within a year or two. We do not have the electricity available for this.

I can't tell if this brain rot statement is sarcasm or not. If technology is identifying a real trend, that isn't due to some training bias in the machine learning, then it is a real trend. And in this case, Kmart is not targeting

Not even the government at this point. The oligarchs are now in full control of the US and are dividing up their kingdoms. The plans for glulags for detractors are also being placed.

It's a CRM. AI won't help there, customers already hate getting harassed by cold calls and endless AI support bot loops. They are just hitting market maturity.

Buy some diy flashlight kit. There's an entire community of people that build flashlights for fun and hence a ecosystem of parts. Then put in the strongest 455mm wavelength diode you can find off Digikey that fits the kit parts.

Consuming a 24/7 feed of doomerism media does nothing for fighting authoritarianism. It simply just gives ad revenue to oligarchs. If you want to do something, get involved in local politics and groups, stay off social media where Face
