Cause there are always more patients... but more data will let them get more press when it enables more interesting demos.

Modern_medicine_isnt ,

It isn't really about time, it's about energy.

Modern_medicine_isnt ,

People will talk about induced demand and all that. But those people really just want to be able to get around. The fact that they just don't because the traffic is so bad doesn't mean you shouldn't add more lanes. It means you should add a lot more. Same with the one lane at a time approach. The fact that it didn't work does mean you are doing something wrong, but it maybe that you need to add 5 lanes at a time, not one.
Now I'm not saying they should actually do that, just that the arguments against are BS.
A comprehensive public transit system, well maintained and well patrolled is what LA really needs. I am talking Paris metro on steroids. And it is going to cost in the trillions. But it isn't getting any cheaper by waiting.

Modern_medicine_isnt ,

People aren't hitting 60 in LA during rush hour...

Modern_medicine_isnt ,

See you are missing the point. The demand isn't induced, it was always there. They wanted to move and use thier car, but traffic was too bad. My complaint is with the BS argument that the extra lane caused demand to materialize out of no where. It was always there, just unserved.

Modern_medicine_isnt ,

My last paragraph agrees with you.

Modern_medicine_isnt ,

Yeah, the interactions suck. But if dealt with earlier, they could have been mitigated. Same way mass transit does. Express trains. Have a highway over a highway that goes to a specific place. If you stack enough of those, people get on the one they need and go straight to where they need to get. Not realistic though unless planned in advance.

Modern_medicine_isnt ,

But the demand was always there. They wanted to move, they just didn't. So the lane didn't induce it. The choice of that word was intentional. It was to argue against more lanes. It is really unserved demand that they just ignored originally.

Modern_medicine_isnt ,

Distinction without a difference to the point. The demand was always there. It was never induced.

Trouble is, most of the other games out there for kids are the same thing as the roblox games, and many of them cost money upfront, then sell the kids on skins, and tiny game functions just like roblox games. It's hard to find suitable games for kids, and takes a ton of energy.
I have gotten my kids into satisfactory, raft, and games like that. But my youngest keeps coming back to the grinders which all have pay to win. Good games are just not as profitable.

Modern_medicine_isnt ,

You would think... but they new before that it was a bad idea. Someone above them said "I don't care, just do it". They also probably said something about metrics.

Evangelical app 'Bless Every Home' is mapping personal information of immigrants and non-Christians in a bid to conduct door-to-door religious conversions and “prayerwalking” rituals targeting them. (newrepublic.com)

It puts a lot of features at the fingertips of the faithful, including the ability to filter whole neighborhoods by religion, ethnicity, “Hispanic country of origin,” “assimilation,” and whether there are children living in the household....

Modern_medicine_isnt ,

If you tell someone that they are trespassing and to leave and not come back. Can you make a citizens arrest if they return?

Modern_medicine_isnt ,

In that last case, where you have asked them to leave and not come back... but they do. There is a thing called a citizen's arrest. Allowing nonpolice to make an arrest and detain a person. But what the law says and what you can do is often not the same.
I just imagined haveing your doorbell record you saying to never come back, then slapping handcuffs on them if they do. Kinda sounds like fun.

Modern_medicine_isnt ,

Yeah, wouldn't be me. I have kids and no time for the disuption. I also don't live in an area where I would have to worry about such things. But I would love to see someone who does test it. Might put a damper on these people.

Modern_medicine_isnt ,

I read something about this. While they don't get a tax break, they can hold on to the money for as long as they like... I assume, but don't know, they could collect interest on it.

The job applicants shut out by AI: ‘The interviewer sounded like Siri’ (www.theguardian.com)

When Ty landed an introductory phone interview with a finance and banking company last month, they assumed it would be a quick chat with a recruiter. And when they got on the phone, Ty assumed the recruiter, who introduced herself as Jaime, was human. But things got robotic....

Modern_medicine_isnt ,

Until the applicants use AI to handle that part... lol.

Modern_medicine_isnt ,

Yeah, connecting to open networks seems questionable. If it gets infected and you later connect it to your network, they are clearly at fault. So I doubt they do this.

Modern_medicine_isnt ,

They already make money on the ads, and of course you have to make an account, so they sell your info... and then they fire the journalists...
I would pay for a good source of real new that didn't have ads and didn't sell my info. But they don't exist.

Modern_medicine_isnt ,

It's not really about the coding, it's about the process of solving the problem. And ai is very far away from being able to do that. The language you learn to code in is probably not the one you will use much of you life. It will just get replaced by which ai you will use to code.

Modern_medicine_isnt ,

I wouldn't be too concerned. 300k is not really that many compared to the size of the industry. And there is a ton of aging software that is falling apart due to a lack of investment. Like the airlines. And all the utilities that keep getting hacked. And hospitals. With governments starting to hold companies responsible for getting hacked, there will be jobs to rebuild hold software a plenty.

Modern_medicine_isnt ,

Yeah, or 3. Lol.

Modern_medicine_isnt ,

Smart locks are fine. Your door isn't particularly secure with a regular lock. If they want in enough to bring tech, they are coming in anyway.

Modern_medicine_isnt ,

And the cameras don't do much for catching either now that most criminals hide thier face. And even when you do catch a face, doesn't do any good unless you recognize them.

Modern_medicine_isnt ,

Technically, some criminals will see it and pass on the house assuming there is an alarm system. The failure modes is a good point though.

Modern_medicine_isnt ,

For me it is that things I am watching suddenly jump ahead large chunks. If I exit the app and reenter, it goes back to the right place. I have both a roku and tivo stick. This only happens on roku.

Modern_medicine_isnt ,

Only the video you see. The time marker doesn't jump.

Modern_medicine_isnt ,

Right? Gosh forbid we stop them from tricking people into spending money they don't have. That would be un-American.

Ticketek ‘glitch’ appears to re-sell fan’s $659 ticket for Taylor Swift concert — “They said, ‘someone else has it, we don’t know who, we can’t check or track who has your ticket’” (au.news.yahoo.com)

Ticketek ‘glitch’ appears to re-sell fan’s $659 ticket for Taylor Swift concert — “They said, ‘someone else has it, we don’t know who, we can’t check or track who has your ticket’”::A Taylor Swift fan believed her VIP ticket was 'stolen' from her account by Ticketek after an apparent system 'glitch'.

Modern_medicine_isnt ,

You would think right? But look at airlines, they can overbook a flight, and tough luck. Rental car places can say they don't have the car you reserved... the law is not there to protect you, it is there to protect business.

Modern_medicine_isnt ,

In fairness, you usualy get severance that is more than 2 weeks, and you don't even have to go to work to collect it.
That said, in like spain, I think they have to employ you until you find a new job or something.

Modern_medicine_isnt ,

Every salaried employee I know got severence when laid off. Not sure what you are on about.

Modern_medicine_isnt ,

A thousand? My anecdotal evidence covered more than that by just reading a news article about one tech company. I am more than willing to admit there is a huge divide between hourly and salaried employees on this subject. But given that the current news these days is about tech layoffs of salaried people, I took the cartoon to be talking about them.

Modern_medicine_isnt ,

Sure, but anyone working without a residence permit knows that going in.
Noone is say companies are giving out severance from the goodness of thier heart. Just that for most positions 2 weeks notice of quitting is a reasonable ask. And honestly, the company can't do anything if you don't give it. It's really your coworkers who will speak poorly of you to other companies.

Modern_medicine_isnt ,

Sure, and people in tha industry regularly quit with no notice to. So not really what the cartoon was talking about.

Modern_medicine_isnt ,

Big thanks to those who make this happen

Side question, is there a guide to tweaking things so jelly works well on roku? I have issues that I don't think other people have. But I don’t really know where to start looking for the source of my issues.

Google’s CEO faces employee questions about layoffs — “Why has there been such an extraordinary effort to limit the internal visibility of layoffs announcements?” (www.theverge.com)

Google’s CEO faces employee questions about layoffs — “Why has there been such an extraordinary effort to limit the internal visibility of layoffs announcements?”::During a recent TGIF all-hands meeting, Google CEO Sundar Pichai addressed what sources describe as a growing morale crisis inside the company.

Modern_medicine_isnt ,

I worked at a big company, after 16 years they let me and many of my coworkers go. I ended up at a late stage start up. They were starting to become more "corporate". Now I work at an early stage start up. They actually care. I am not sure I will ever take a job with a company that is publicly traded again.

Modern_medicine_isnt ,

So one way you can think about it is this. The people who traded thier info for the tv can't sell thier info for anywhere near that value. So they got a good deal.
The reality is that all our info is already out there some where anyway. So these breaches mean very little anymore. It's getting to the point that an contract agreed to where identity is verified by personal info will be easy to challenge in court.

Modern_medicine_isnt ,

I think the first two repliers have never heard of Ockham's razor.
I mean a micro meteorite could have struck some part of the wheel and knocked it off too, but probably not. Though that would be boeing's fault to, because they didn't make it micro meteorite tolerant.

Modern_medicine_isnt ,

Most dryers these days should be using a moisture sensor, not a timer.

Modern_medicine_isnt ,

Even worse... dryers often use a moisture sensor to determine when it is done. Load shifts, sensors gets more moisture, time goes up.

Modern_medicine_isnt ,

how many of us, if we woke up like that, wouldn't leave the house unless it was to buy a big mirror.
