I’ve always wondered 1) if those things are real and, if so, do they 2) ask for permission to include the logo.

Yup, email is usually the preferred communication tool of record. In a previous job, our messages on Teams were wiped after 8 days so anything that needed to be recorded had to be in an email or some form of document.

It isn’t universally awful in the US. Washington, DC’s system is great and should be the cornerstone of any revitalization that isn’t so reliant on the federal government.

How are they estimating migration costs? It claims my tiny personal website hosted on Netlify would cost between $2500 and $5800 to migrate.

No, not at all. The surveillance state nonsense is overplayed online.

The sales problem being there isn't anything viable to compete with the established players. Europe has the capability, even without immigration from the US, it just needs a kick to make good enough products.

Yes, however the next paragraph outlines why it wasn’t surprising to other observers. Summarized, low competition and structural constraints.

Illegality is a floor, not a ceiling. It is justified to adhere to and promote a morality that sets higher standards than the law, including taking the view that creating and distributing indecent images of people should be prohibited.

I fear we are at the point where descendants of ICE employees will be embarrassed to acknowledge the relation.

This is awesome. I had no idea Lyft publishes ride data, time to explore the DC version!

The downward trend seems to start ~2017, and was interrupted by a spike during the early months of COVID-19. I'd be interested to know what drove that jump, perhaps people were less hesitant to post when they were working from home?

My prior POV was that Apple would jettison the feature globally, but the discussion elsewhere in this thread suggests that salami slicing at the software-level is a cost larger companies are willing to bear.

My hope for laws such as the ones Japan and the EU enacted was that companies would see the writing on the wall and change their practices worldwide, if only for cost reasons (it presumably being more expensive to maintain multiple sets of rules.) However, these companies are now so large that they can choose to absorb any inefficiencies on a country-by-country basis.

What collective term would you use to describe the parties referenced in the poll?

I was braced for more doom and gloom, so I’m pleasantly surprised that one explanation is reduced pollution.

I'm not so sure this argument is valid. The invention of the wheel barrow created new jobs in wheel barrow manufacturing and distribution. On the other hand, the promise/threat of AI seems to be the complete displacement of humans in many industries without creating alternative employment for the vast majority.

This is approaching Saparmurat Niyazov levels of weirdness.

You can get larger packs of painkillers OTC by speaking with a pharmacist (OTC in the literal sense) or ordering online. For example, Boots sells a 96 count 400mg ibuprofen.

If Universities are anything like other large public/public-adjacent organizations, the bulk of the in-house IT department was long since replaced by Microsoft resellers posing as IT. It’s insidious.

Fascinating that they came up with 14 questions and none of them addressed the price of the service.

It seems he graduated early this year so hasn't been in the market for too long. A few months out of work is a soul destroying experience, however, it can get worse, unfortunately.

The average person in the real world is more likely to encounter documents made in Office, that would be a major barrier to adoption.

It seems like AI companies have grown skeptical too. The recent spate of browser releases and OpenAI launching a social network suggests to me that they’ve hit a dead end for now and are falling back on tried and true methods of monetizing.

And people should have the technology to monitor this kind of overreach.

This is a nice allegory that hits on a few of the key tensions we're seeing at the moment.

The social and economic order is in constant flux, however, there has been tendency to totalize one preference over the alternatives. The abuse of the "invisible hand" metaphor is one way we see this, being used, as it is, to wave away the 50-year trend of increasing selfishness, moving away from seeing the economy as a potential welfare maximizing technology.

We're in a period in which the massive transfer of wealth to a few people is accepted as inevitable and should be pursued at any and all costs. The original post highlights that (individual and collective) human agency remains, people can make the choice to do things differently.

Punishment and rehabilitation aren’t mutually exclusive. Arguably, the punishment aspect is served by the removal of freedoms that being locked in prison entails. Rehabilitation can be any number of things that the prisoner does while in prison.

Presumably the "big names" are able to (or have already) implemented the requirements under the law and have an economic and reputational incentive to comply.
