Well you should subtract out the kids. I’m not going to get irritated about someone under the age of 18 not voting. That’s why it should be eligible voters, not Americans.

Drive through seems like a great proving ground. Record every drive through customer / cashier interaction. Match each recording up with the transaction entered into the register. Train a model by having the model “listen” to the recording to predict what the order should look like, then match it to the items on the transaction receipt.

Then, phase 1 of implementation is to use the model in real time by listening to the live conversation at the drive through, predicting what it thinks the order should be, then prompting the cashier to double-check the order to see if the human made a mistake entering the order if the prediction doesn’t match.

Phase 2 is human-supervised, where the order taking system interacts directly with the customer to take the order, the human checks the result, and is able to step in / take over if there’s a mistake or a special case the order system can’t handle.

Phase 3 is “fuck your entry level employment” and no human is monitoring the system.

All 3 phases seem completely doable to me at this point, depending on how much backlash MCD is willing to deal with.

Yes, and conscription for defense is not the same thing as conscription for invasion and occupation.

I mean, he still is at least 10 years older.

That was a hell of a ride with a really weird destination.

He is a first-time offender, and the crime he has been found guilty of is a non-violent paper crime.

Right, first time non-violent felon, like Michael Cohen.

Do you have a source for this? I really wanted to make some snarky posts pointing this out, but couldn’t find mention of it in the summary of changes proposed by the bill:

Trump promised to scrap climate laws if US oil bosses donated $1bn – report (www.theguardian.com)

Donald Trump dangled a brazen “deal” in front of some of the top US oil bosses last month, proposing that they give him $1bn for his White House re-election campaign and vowing that once back in office he would instantly tear up Joe Biden’s environmental regulations and prevent any new ones, according to a bombshell new...

Let’s not exaggerate . He’s just offering to scrap the biosphere. The rest of Earth will be fine.

Isn’t it more lucrative to set up a SPAC that goes public with no assets of real value?

I think that happens whether she’s removed or not.

Now they’re laundering money via SPACs.

Imagine if musk could make billions of dollars on his stock if he quit his job, lol.

Ah yes. The Ballmer manoeuvre.

House of Representatives majority leader, not Senate.

But otherwise, yes.

Conservatives don’t care. The people who stay in the state would reliably vote Republican, so that’s two guaranteed Senate seats.

Passkeys sound great. Where’s the support for Firefox, Proton Pass? Bitwarden has it.

For now, hubitat seems to be a good balance between slowly improving the support and experience vs. price paid. I opted in for their subscription that does automatic backups with recovery to a different device and managed remote access and I’m satisfied with the value received for the subscription fee.

I doubt this will last; if they get successful enough, somebody will buy them like the Samsung / Smartthings scenario and the enshittification will begin (or accelerate, depending on your opinion of the status quo).

Hopefully by then homeseer has a robust hardware ecosystem and migrating isn’t very painful.

And the author is right, no need to touch Matter at this point if you’re already vested in Z-Wave or ZigBee.

Taxes. If by some stroke of miracle he wins the appeal, he won’t have to pay capital gains taxes that he otherwise would have had to pay if the portfolio was liquidated.

I’m wondering what priority the state has over existing lienholders. If State has priority, then some banks may be about to get hosed.

Then given how leveraged the properties likely are, a bunch of them will have to be sold to make the 500 mil.

Trump may have defamed E. Jean Carroll again, one day after posting a $91.6 million bond for last case (www.cnbc.com)

Former President Donald Trump on Saturday stood by his 2019 statement that writer E. Jean Carroll made a “totally false accusation” against him, despite similar claims resulting in him losing a defamation case in January....

Jokes on them, I never associated email addresses with any of my reddit accounts.

I don’t believe DeSantis would go with a stupid Surgeon General.

Why not both?

If Israel stops the genocide, the Houthis stop attacking.

That’s a weird way to spell “as soon as Iran stops fighting a proxy war against Western interests, the Houthis stop attacking”

The Israeli actions merely provide pretext.

Nowhere in your response did you address critical thinking.

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy recently told employees that those who do not want to return to the office at least three days a week should consider finding employment elsewhere. According to a recording obtained by Insider, Jassy stated “It’s past the time to disagree and commit,” adding that if employees cannot commit to the new...

Amazon and several other companies hired like crazy during pandemic. Now they’re trying to shrink the workforce via a combination of outright layoffs and tight policies to make anyone on the verge of quitting go ahead and do it so they don’t have to pay severance.

Bonus points for shedding older, more experienced, more expensive employees vs. cheaper early in career employees.

I don’t want to pay for the full goose right now, I just want to pay for the right to buy the goose later, at a price that’s fixed now. I’ll decide later if I actually want to buy the goose or not.

Alternatively, I’m not sure how much my goose will continue to lay in the future, I’d like to pay for insurance to guarantee me a fixed price to sell the goose later if I want to.
