But you're right, and the management who kept ignoring problems is going to be tried here. It just so happens that the producer was also an actor and happened to be the one given a bad prop. Alec was the manager of everyone: he hired people, and decided they were doing a good enough job. After employees complained about safety problems, he ignored them. After people QUIT over those safety problems, he continued ignoring them. Alec the producer is the one on trial, not Alec the actor.

This is stupid. Teslas can park themselves, they're not just on rails. It should be pulling over and putting the flashers on if a driver is unresponsive.

That being said, the driver knew this behavior, acted with wanton disregard for safe driving practices, and so the incident is the driver's fault and they should be held responsible for their actions. It's not the courts job to legislate.

It's actually the NTSB's job to regulate car safety so if they don't already have it congress needs to grant them the authority to regulate what AI behavior is acceptable/define safeguards against misbehaving AI.

Lactose curious is a thing, one of my coworkers will have dairy on special occasions and plans for the aftermath

This assumes a level of focus, presence of mind, and training to reliably discriminate between injurious and non-injurious active threats and measure your response with non-lethal force on a gamble that your attacker is non going to be physically violent towards you.

Cops fail at this all the time, it's not reasonable to treat non-injurious threats as acceptable behavior and demand non-police with zero legal protections handle it better.

If you're going to walk up to a stranger in the street and threaten them, then proceed to advance when they respond with "please stop! Get away from me!", you have forfeited any right to benefit of the doubt on their part.

Trained, qualified police doing quality police work keeping dangerous people with guns off the street, got it.

Increased competition is ALWAYS better for the customer.

You're forgetting AppBrain from like 15 years ago.

I agree on the concerns, but it's a virtually universal truth, so long as they're actually forced to treat other app stores fairly. We might end up with a true third party stepping in to claim the throne, at least until the mega-corps reverse all the optimization they've created for their own benefits (even things like searches for apps are not fully intended to benefit the user right now, things most people don't really realize).

Problem is there's too much professional software that simply won't run on Linux, things you spend all day in and even if you can get it to run in a sandbox the experience sucks (because it's too resource intensive, otherwise it would get all SaaSy and force you into the cloud), like CAD software, 3D modeling tools, editing...

Monopolistic behavior is monopolistic behavior. MSFT needs a beatdown.

Not really: for context, the civil rights movement in 50's and 60's was far more violent, like actually violent with military being called in across many American cities.

Your post implies that government is good by default.

There's hiding bad activity the government was elected to perform, like intelligence meddling in foreign affairs to protect the country's interests, and there's hiding activity to shield themselves from voter accountability, like using the apparatus to enrich other parts of government at a direct cost to its own citizens, or shield malicious actors from accountability.

They do lots of both, so why trust by default?

What an awful name: I immediately thought it might be related to Ubisoft and had to look it up to sanity check my feeling of absolute revulsion. Such a good idea but the sentiment of that name won't do it any favors.

Netflix, steam, and Spotify got me out of piracy. Companies who owned the IP just decided they all wanted to replicate what Netflix did without understanding that it was impossible for more than one company to accomplish that.

There is no greater show of dominance than penetrating another man's rectum. All true alphas know this. Betas fear they'll like it.

Doubt SCOTUS ever touches this.

The language matters A LOT: Michigan's mirrors California's, which would absolutely hold up to any constitutional challenge because it requires negligence with an adverse outcome. Michigan's and California's basically say you're a criminal if two things are met: you had any plausible expectation of a child being around, AND something bad actually happens.

Every states are a little different, and at the other end of the intelligence spectrum are New Jerseys and New Yorks, and nobody even cared to challenge those yet. New Jerseys statute says you're a criminal, regardless of circumstances, if the guns are not locked up per some collection of criteria at all times when you're not actively accessing them. I do know that most of New Jerseys rare prosecutions are actual bullshit, for example a cop going door to door to gun owners because of some local crime, asking to see someone's gun to check it and not liking that the safe in the room he was in when they showed up was not completely locked (never mind he lives alone). Expect any challenge to arise there.

If SCOTUS does throw out all storage laws, it'll be because of politicians who care more about their resume than about writing really good laws.

PSA: the second amendment protects molotov cocktails.

Was this based on sentencing guidelines at the time?

But yeah... Brought to you by the same people who convince juries that nullification is not a real thing for malum-prohibitum crimes.

Carbs are carbs, sugar is sugar, high glycemic sugars need somewhere to go quickly

I have a relative, a PhD no less (albeit in English), who "only eat natural organic GMO-free" and will absolutely not accept that fruits are sweet because of sugar and count against you like any other sugar

From the screen grabs, Since when is a legally street parked RV a homeless encampment? Looks like picking low hanging fruit for campaign talking points.

Only when there's enough people that it's bordering revolution. Note how many national guard were not only deployed, but actually found themselves in gun battles (over civil rights), it was nuts by today's norms.

Looks like Gina from Brooklyn Nine-Nine, I expect acts like the character too...

We calls those "freedom seeds"

Can every KVM do this please?

Strictly speaking, management at Big Tech are all normies and they make the decisions.

I think the point is solid: non-tech-people sell capabilities to other non-tech-people to make money, and this forms a feedback loop and drives direction. A non-big-tech world is wildly different because it's more like tech people building an environment for doing things with other tech people.

Nobody defended communities discussing illegal things, then nobody defended communities discussing questionable legal things, then nobody defended disfavored things like firearms channels/YouTubers, now it's your turn.

But what will replace them? Uni-party doesn't work either (e.g. NYC)

No no no, calendar is stopping, so March 1 can be a day later. We're not jumping, we're waiting for some time to pass before resuming counting.

There are enough games out there that I can game all I want without ever spending a penny on any games from any companies in this video.

EA games were shit starting around the time of Battlefield 3, I did not need to buy Battlefront to know it would be shit. Absolutely refuse to spend a penny on ANY game from ANY studio owned by EA, and this will not change until the board and entire executive team have turned over.

I expect based on Fallout 76, Starfield will run but be weaksauce with bare mechanics and go the DLC route w/ content to maximize revenue. Studios got shit for that but not as much shit as broken games, so why not give THAT a shot this time?

Battling aliens on a different planet. Is that too much to ask for?

Talking about a politician who insider-trades her way to tens of millions in gains each year.

The real fix here is to ban speculative trading on anything with either industrial or everyday use (like metals and real estate).

Is there a name for giving people a platform by attempting to cancel them?

Just how many people did firing her prevent her from reaching? I for one follow everything star wars but would never have seen her tweets if not for this drama.

There are two kinds of companies in tech: hard tech companies who invent it, and tech-enabled companies who apply it to real world use cases.

With every new technology you have everyone come out of the woodwork and try the novel invention (web, mobile, crypto, ai) in the domain they know with a new tech-enabled venture.

Then there's an inevitable pruning period when some critical mass of mismatches between new tool and application run out of money and go under. (The beauty of the free market)

AI is not good for everything, at least not yet.

So now it's AI's time to simmer down and be used for what it's actually good at, or continue as niche hard-tech ventures focused on making it better at those things it's not good at.

That's just a critical mass to revolt entirely, needs to be like 15% of the population actively involved. Read about Blair Mountain in 1921 if you're unfamiliar.

Your gatekeeping credentials are?

SteveMRE1987 wants it

Any kind of energy can be used for good or diverted for evil. Transport vehicles have a lot of kinetic energy, etc.

Well, it is, because newsom got an exception for restaurants with a standalone "bread" menu item and some caveats that basically made it only apply to Panera Bread.

(Incidentally, This is the essence how the whole federal tax codes and tariff schedules work)

More or less exactly how every major political issue works: people with no or extremely limited personal experience repeating things they've been told by someone in their tribe.

Grayjay.app is the way forward

It's Oregon, with a population of a whopping 4 million across the entire state, so you know what, maybe actually cheaper to cut the state off than to establish DIY supply chain for repairs parts that will undercut your whole product portfolio.

You know where this is going, can't trust the vote of a misinformed voter, so... No vote until the government figures out what information you need for deciding on further changes to government.

Yes, because then they can avoid any liability for the business as well as avoiding blame for the administrators who are guilty of 8 negligent homicides because they ignored the 8 after the second death that meant there was definitely something more than a freak accident going on
