"So the all-the-AC-all-the-time thinking of the US may be excessive," Unfortunately, there are many areas of the US where humidity is the real reason for running the AC so much. In places like the Mid-Atlantic states you might get

"factories generally employ the same amount of workers" Not really. The stats should show that factory workers as a percent of the workforce has been declining. Thw leadership at my company has said they plan to do more with the s

Lol figure 3 shows copilot as being the highest task time savings when in my experience it is the most garbage.

The laws are to complicated to go into a full yes or no. But they mostly are. There are some things not covered by law which generally are controlled, such as the clothes, toys, and food bought for the kid.

"have a right to my own body and choices?" Not sure exactly what you mean by own body. However, under the law children generally do not have a right to their own choices and are expected to be controlled by their parents (really l

We'd have to see the data to say wether it was true or bias. Perhaps comparing similar nations where one had Bluetooth contact tracing and the other didn't. I'm skeptical that it made much difference either way compared to th

"an ideology that will not seek consensus with his values" This just seems normal and expected. Kids are raised by their parents. Parents try to impart their wisdom on their kids, often in the form of rules meant to protect them.

"expect them to be used!" I would expect them to be in the condition they were graded as. I'll avoid poor or fair condition books that have lots of marking in them. Good books that have minimal marking should be fine to me.

I use a folded computer paper as a book mark and take notes on that with a page number for reference. It preserves the book and makes it easier to find what I want.

Their bigger positive in my opinion is that they have massive amounts of data and are working to vertically integrate with stuff like TPUs.

"360/100k US vs 1200/100k UK" That's the violent crime rate. I do see the 28 was an error. Yes, lower murder rate, but higher violent crime rate.

This seems like a consolidation of risk to rely on a password manager, especially software defined, especially if it relies on a password. I like the hardware token idea (yubikey). But even that seems cumbersome because you should be making

The thing I find burdensome is managing all the keys in a secure way. I think I would want a hardware token to store the keys on, have separate keys for every site, need to back up my keys onto a second token in case the first one is lost,

Most people weren't reading documentation when it was written by humans. The low value status of documentation is well supported by the fact your workplace put it off instead of prioritizing it.

Just Google "arrested for AI generated CSAM" and you will find tons of cases, including police officers as perps. Looks like the Protect act of 2003 make it illegal if basically looks real enough (cartoon ok, AI generated realism

I completely get tracking CSAM to get to the creator to stop the abuse. But how does that work for fictional works that are considered CSAM?

If we want to compare cities to New Orleans, then you might as well compare them them to Birmingham. Even with firearms being banned you have a murder rate of 28/100k vs 40/100k. Violent crime between the cities is actually equal

"Knives and screwdrivers are at least only used for close-up combat." Most firearms murders are similarly close-up.

What you miss is that US Code defines militia as the explicit militia that you mention, but also the implicit militia. That implicit militia includes others not in the national guard. It's also worth mentioning that most states have si

Banning firearms isn't "dead cheap" if you have 400 million in existence. The enforcement would cost a lot, even if you didn't perform a mandatory buyback program. Germany doesn't have an outright ban on guns, but s

You can look at the FBI data. Also note that if you are concerned about mass shootings, that more mass shootings occur with handguns than rifles. https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2019/crime-in-the-u.s.-... ht

What I could find was that there are estimated to be about 350-500 million firearms in the US. The closest thing to a breakdown was 30-50 million semi-auto rifles, and probably close to a 60/40 split handgun to long gun over time (arti

Your best bet is to look up case law of a specific license type in your jurisdiction. If you're using GPLv3 or something common like that, then you should be able to GoogleFu plenty of case law on in.

Maybe my perception is off, but it seems like there's a huge push by the legislature and some people to do anything and everything to prevent CSAM, yet almost nothing seems to be done to prevent CSA. For CSAM, there's all sorts of

It's not the technology that is snake oil, it's the way it's marketed. Machine learning that predicts where crime might occur is fine. But knowing that isnt going to help any more than just knowing certain neighborhoods are a
