I think they mean something like at laundromats. Or those large commercial laundry services should be using them behind the scenes.

I probably wasnt raised right, but none of that matters if you can't shoot down other planes, buildings, something, anything. And if you can shoot down planes the bells an whistles don't matter. 1942 was perfect.

According to the article Interior is just centralizing the release of the information. That sounds reasonable to me rather than letting any NPS employee discuss it with the press, and is consistent with many other agencies and employers pol

That's what bugged me about the old MS Flight Sim games. It felt like the actual job.

Are these laws already on the books places like Europe, Japan with strict gun control laws?

"Because “publicly available with some friction” has a fundamentally different character than “indexed on Google/available to AI scrapers”" people have already forgotten the lessons of all those mugshots websites.

I certainly believe that, but why did school systems jump on board, especially to be such early adopters as the 2010s, when the iphone was just a few years old? We used to use TV to keep kids quiet, but schools always talked about how bad i

You also see the behavior in the middle of the woods on a hike, or as the article mentions at upscale cafes. The whole point of the article is the near universality of wearing airpods. So a comment dwelling on US urban subways tells you mor

" they wouldn't be getting sued and aggressively pursued for takedowns" I don't think so. That behavior only tells you the modest cost of sending takedown notices/threatening letters is less than the (supposed) lost

"because of what I learned." Do these books/seminars actually teach you something new about being married or a father, that you didn't know before? Like what? I always figured they were more about coaching, persuasion, c

I certainly didn't claim " this notion you’ve thought of outweighs the demonstrable real-world system ". However the original comment requires that " " this notion you’ve thought of [doesn't] outweighs the demo

adversarial process = anglo-american trial system = a defendant has an attorney who is looking for prosecutorial misconduct

by jasonfarnon 4mo ago
Yeah, again, there are some incentives to fabricate evidence like career advancement. Now why should those, on a mass scale, outweigh disincentives like getting caught in an adversarial process and (presumably) some qualm about regularly co

"we discovered that at minimum 10% of people on death row were innocent" How did we do that? I never heard this: certainly 10% of people on death row weren't exonerated by DNA? This is some kind of shaky extrapolation I assum

That is true--the checks and balances the founding fathers fought so hard for were thrown out the window with overlegislation and expansion of prosecutorial discretion in 20th century. To make a convincing argument that "double digits&

" if I ever saw it in my lifetime, would be something locked up behind the walls of big corporations and governments." Who knows, maybe the good stuff is locked up. If one of these corporations had something very special they may

I'd forgotten all the government attempts at controlling crypto like PGP in the early internet days. It is one straightforward way to look at what's happening here without resorting to speculation about this administration's

"Now we know how that the person who said this has the coding skills of a Claude Opus 4.5 or whenever the frontier was when they flipped." Well, once folks like Linus Torvalds concede, this doesn't carry much sting.

I can't get my ipad to shut up about iCloud storage. At least with windows I know how to turn that stuff off (worse case registry fix). I have no idea how to hack Apple's stuff.

One possible exception, do you consider youtube an "intended method"? (A legit question for those of us who remember what a legal gray area they were in, in the 2000s.) Because the convenience of youtube replaced downloading music

Maybe things have changed but finances mostly forced my kids and those in the neighborhood to grow up this way. No dishwasher, bidet (we're in the US anyway), electric toothbrush, and definitely cooked all meals. Maybe takeout pizza or

"Leaving my bike unlocked in Shanghai 10+ years ago, it was stolen about once every one or two months." Seriously? How many times until you started locking it up?
