I take it you’ve never lived in India? Visited Pakistan or Bangladesh? Plenty of people would (literally) kill for those jobs, and have no other useful employment. In those countries, Women are often widely forbidden from doing most jobs, w

The women in this situation aren’t complaining. Very much the opposite. Why the compulsion to paternalistically ‘protect’ everyone even to the point of making them unemployed? I assume they weighed their options and decided this was the bes

Phone cameras typically have IR filters that filter out that light. You need to modify the camera (or have an exceptionally cheap one?) to not have it filtered.

The alternative is…. They don’t have a job? What else is going to happen? For many people, the alternatives can literally be death, wading unprotected through human excrement, sold into defacto slavery, etc. etc. AI can do some of it (now),

I very much doubt just the CIA, but that would be nice. :s

If you think the child porn is the worst part of this mess, I’ve got news for you. We’d all be lucky if it was just distributing child porn.

Construction workers don’t get rest days. Every one I know described the first two weeks as complete hell, until their bodies just stopped complaining. But it still takes it’s toll long term.

It’s almost like it was done… as a team. Where one side provided all the money, the other side provided the direction. Both were necessary. Weird huh?

Now imagine that for toilet paper over the top, or over the bottom, or sitting on top of the toilet tank. And everything in between. We have plenty of bits, at least.

Which nobody does (really) because it turns into a giant narcissist shit fight then for who can come up with the most absurd ‘truthy’ answer for publicity. Everyone has to end up filtering at some point or it’s all just noise.

Also, when there are conflicts, who decides what the ‘facts’ are, eh? is is the Gulf of America or not?

Also, management doesn’t have time to fully understand it, which means they need at least one employee who does. And that employee now has leverage.

Some people like blowing things up, even if it doesn’t necessarily make sense at the time. Some people like building things, even if it doesn’t necessarily make sense at the time. Some people like meeting other people and making money, etc,

Anyone can lie about their beliefs, so I’m not sure what that really gets anyone either.

Applying too much force cuts off circulation and can lead to severe bad outcomes for the hogtieee. Best is ‘firm and unyielding’ not ‘I can’t feel my hands anymore’. Easy enough to do in a few seconds with a big zip tie.

If highway patrol was spending their day harassing loiterers at the mall, everyone would be pissed. Because 1) while they are legally allowed to do it, it isn’t their job, and 2) it is other people’s jobs. Which is the point.

Sure, I’ve just literally never seen anyone use one.

It depends on what you’re doing. If you want to do an artsy hogtie real fast, those other options are kinda meh.

Use a zero clearance cutter which cuts it flat and flush with the lock. The jaws aren’t ’v’ shaped like they are for heavier wires, one side is flat and cuts flush on that side. Usually these are used for small wires. Any electrical supply

Those long ones are great for certain…. Niche interests. That rhyme with ink. Also, law enforcement.

Congrats for being one of today’s 10,000! [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Airlines_Flight_423 ]. Notably in India, there have been a few times where Sikhs have been at the head of violent revolts - and a few times

Just because it’s dumb doesn’t mean people won’t do it. I mean TSA, but it also applies to other groups too.

The purpose of the system is what it does. If enough people actually cared about the failed audits, we’d invest in making sure they didn’t fail. As it is, it’s settled in this funky middle ground that seems to maximize cost/incompetenc

Airport security in India is particularly infuriating on this point. Everything gets scanned and fed through over and over again, and everyone gets wanded and patted down over and over again, with maximum ‘fuck you’ to any passenger that da

The situation re: psychological safety becomes very apparent when you mention to foreigners how often guns accidentally make it through TSA in peoples bags - and get discovered on screening on the return flight. Saucers for eyes, saucers! H

It isn’t actually infinite since it can only do a finite number of iterations per second (though it would be large!), and there are only a finite number of seconds in the universe (near as we can tell).

As long as no one expects updates and ongoing support beyond some pre-agreed time. The issue is a mismatch of incentives - customers wanting things for free - even if they aren’t actually customers. Vs businesses need/want for ongoing

Just charge for support, or if that is too harsh. If that is too harsh, charge for upgrades (but give point/minor bug fixes for the version they have for free). No support contract? Pound sand.

The model you are referring to works fine when the industry is expanding and/or legal entities turn over eventually. Which is not uncommon. It’s also one that is typically pretty good for customers that like to do an investment and the
