Pre-legislating from the bench. Why don’t we just get rid of the legislative branch and let the judicial branch do whatever it wants? ( …/s)
We used to call them Ag-Nags (AGNG’s)… all gear, no game. It was a derogatory term, but it was more reserved for the type of person that would go buy the best gear and never invest the time to learn how to use it or why it had value other than the sticker price.
Go out and learn something new. Enjoy something new. If you have money to buy gear, that’s fine… but know that most people that pioneered whatever sport/hobby your delving into did a lot more with a lot less. Enjoy it for what it is and worry about the gear less… sometimes the squeeze makes the juice that much better.
It’s more complicated, but you can still use crowd-sourcing to recognize the ads. Then use an algo to analyze the ad, frame by frame, and reject that when it shows up.
It’ll take a bit of time, but their strategy isn’t going to last. It’s ‘arms-race’ style escalation on a digital front. Eventually, the crowd sourcing will be replaced by AI/ML tools. Ad companies, like google, will always try to fight back, but open-source will always respond.
You can’t beat nerds that are skilled and passionate about not getting fucked.
I always thought it was a huge concern to let the insurance company have gps access to my phone because it gives them exact times when I am away from my home.
Insurance companies’ more nefarious employees or employee’s friends have an exact playbook for when it’s safe to break into your home, how much money you have(based on how many and the types of cars you have policies on), how many people could be at home (insured on policy), credit rating… etc. It’s not data that you couldn’t get with a bit of research and time, but having a searchable database full of customer info makes it easy to list out hundreds of targets with little effort.
Do what you want, but don’t kid yourself into thinking you’ll help the situation by exercising a vote for Trump, 3rd party, or abstaining from voting. Expect a lot worse treatment for Palestine, its citizenry, and other middle eastern countries from his opponent.
That being said, you may not have to worry about who you’ll vote for ever again if the fascists gain control… you’ll have a lot of other things to worry about, but voting won’t be one of them.
He is free to say whatever he wants and the government can’t stop him.
He is also accountable to his victims if his actions cause them financial harm.
Freedom of speech remains intact.
… well, yeah… but symptoms can kill you, too.
My tesla doesn’t let me use autopilot or FSD if I set it over 5% of the posted speed limit. How is this guy going 75 in the burbs?
I don’t get their arguement. The federal govt can’t tell them they aren’t allowed to print or report on something… and they aren’t. The govt is just warning the citizenry that the information being reported on is funded by foreign interest and contains biased or non-factual information.
They are specifically not interfering with freedom of the press by letting these media outlets publish whatever they want. That doesn’t means they don’t get to have an opinion and definitely doesn’t mean they don’t have a responsibility to help protect the nation’s citizenry.
People have the misunderstanding that the 1st amendment means you can say anything you want without consequence. The govt can’t stop you from saying something, but you are still accountable for the things you say in the marketplace. The govt is allowed to say you are full of shit and the marketplace can decide if they believe you or them.
This is literally why net neutrality needs to be regulated. Corporations will artificially make problems to induce additional earnings.
Super scummy, anti-customer behavior.
I’m about to throw my google speakers away at this point. I feel like they are becoming more and more useless. Voice commands used to work fine, but lately this is a standard occurance.
“Hey google, turn on the kitchen lights.”
“I’m sorry. It looks like that device hasn’t been set up yet.”
“Hey google, turn on the kitchen lights.”
“Power controls are not available at this time.”
“Hey google, turn on the kitchen lights”
…lights turn on…
You know how much insurance costs on a Ferrari?
