Aside from air, ocean water, sunlight, and a few types of rocks, I don't know if that's ever the case. Pretty much as soon as something is declared "free", people will consume so much more than you could have ever imagined.
Starbucks and Black Rifle both sell coffee in cans right next to the energy drinks now. I haven't personally seen any high-caffeine products marketed to kids personally though.
To really stop inflation, the fed would have to ramp up interest rates, stop printing money, and Congress would have to cut spending and raise taxes. It's worth it to reward businesses who offer cheap prices, but inflation is inevitable without severe austerity measures.
The only tax incentive for employers is deducting it as a business expense. I.e., paying with pre-tax income. Individuals can also do that if self-employed.
Individuals are the one with huge tax benefits under the ACA. Last year, the government paid 73% of my health insurance premiums as a tax credit.
Police don't do anything after the fact. The problem is with attorneys general and/or judges either not prosecuting people or giving them too light of sentences. All police do is arrest and collect evidence, and they're generally even more frustrated by the problem than most people.
Depends a lot on where you live. My village is pretty fresh cuz I update it lol. My impression is that it's quite good in western Europe, might take a month in major US cities, and probably years old in most other places. I think Indonesia, Israel, and Japan are decent as well.
You can buy bottles of ink on Amazon. Tank printers, jerryrigging, and people refilling cartridges have all been decently common for a long time, so there are plenty of random companies selling it.
That study doesn't say "freak out". It says 83% ever showed "any fear" of fireworks, which is a huge variation. My doesn't like going outside when there are fireworks, but the sound of rain freaks him out way more.
With IPv4 there's zero chance of that. At most, you could get all the people who were using [Gmail] around that time. With IPv6, mayyybe, but that assumes the hotel does as much data collection as possible and does it correctly.
No, if they violate a clearly defined right, you can often still sue them individually, although that's usually suboptimal as the government has deeper pockets.
This is how California is legislating it—requiring the OS to let an admin set the user's age, then let browsers and through them, websites, to query that setting.
If you can "just type stuff", it is absolutely trivial to download absolutely any payload you want as long as you have network access and your antivirus doesn't stop it.
To be honest, I don't use it at all professionally except I guess transcription or search engine summaries to point me to actual documents. I mostly come across it when a client makes a contract or legal memo on his own and sends it to me to review. If I'm drafting a lease or a trust or whatever, I already have forms that cover everything they need, have been used thousands of times, and can be easily tweaked as needed cuz I half have them memorized at this point.
I can't imagine using them for a court filing. Those are either so short that they're trivial or they require painstaking research, precision, and often citations for every single sentence.
Not that either is great, but there is a world of difference between saying "a 16-year-old can marry another 16-year-old if the couple and both sets of parents agree" (an often a judge too) and saying "a 12-year-old can marry a 30-year-old against her will".
As an attorney, I feel like vetting AI output takes longer than just doing it from scratch, let alone versus just using a traditional form.
With AI, I have to read through everything, often explain why it's wrong, and then rewrite everything anyways. I mean, I get way more billables, but I think it's symptomatic of how AI loses its advantage of being quick and accessible to those who don't understand the subject matter.
