I don't think the Feds do work release, they have their own industries that you can slave away at for $0.17/hr. But you are right she will go to a camp since she is non-violent and only has 2 years. It's a points system and assuming she hasn't committed any crimes prior then her points will be low enough to go to a camp.

Yeah it was surprising but this is from NIH, they didn't have a stat for daily drinkers so I took the most extreme.

According to the 2022 NSDUH, 16.0 million adults ages 18 and older reported heavy alcohol use in the past month (see glossary for definition of heavy alcohol use)

Heavy alcohol use (or heavy drinking):

NIAAA defines heavy alcohol use as follows: For men, consuming five or more drinks on any day or 15 or more per week For women, consuming four or more drinks on any day or 8 or more per week

https://www.niaaa.nih.gov/alcohols-effects-health/alcohol-to...

I was surprised too, a quick search produced something a bit different.

"The top 10 percent of American drinkers - 24 million adults over age 18 - consume, on average, 74 alcoholic drinks per week"

I'm not sure the courts would consider it a workaround, it's a legit way to host your own model.

How exactly are they going to stop the NYPD from using this service? Just not register it in their subscription as a service? And does it really matter? If I can use Azure's cognitive search and host my own model that doesn't stop me from using Azure for the same purpose.

Thanks, updated. It would take a little over a day for them to generate $196 million.

Let's assume the combined daily gross profit of the three companies is:

T-Mobile: 15.5 million (estimated gross margin of 34% on 45.5 million revenue) AT&T: 42.5 million (estimated gross margin of 34% on 125.6 million revenue) Verizon: 121.5 million (estimated gross margin of 35% on 349.3 million revenue) Combined daily gross profit: 15.5 million + 42.5 million + 121.5 million = 179.5 million

To generate $196 million in gross profit, it would take the combined daily gross profit of the three companies approximately:

179.5 million (combined daily gross profit) ÷ 196 million (target gross profit) ≈ 1.09 days

It would take the combined daily revenue of T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon approximately 9 hours to generate $196 million in revenue.

To estimate the time it takes for T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon combined to generate $196 million in revenue, we need to calculate their combined daily revenue.

Let's assume the combined daily revenue of the three companies is:

T-Mobile: $45.5 million (as estimated earlier) AT&T: $125.6 million (as estimated earlier) Verizon: $349.3 million (as estimated earlier) Combined daily revenue: 45.5 million + 125.6 million + 349.3 million = 520.4 million

To generate $196 million in revenue, it would take the combined daily revenue of the three companies approximately:

520.4 million (combined daily revenue) ÷ 24 (hours in a day) = 21.6 million/hour. 196 million (fine amount) ÷ 21.6 ≈ 9.07 hours.

In other words, the government would be able to deputize an unknown amount of the private sector into acting as its own personal intelligence asset. Indeed, Hamadanchy gives some examples of companies that might potentially fall under this category and they are numerous: “Commercial landlords, grocery stores, barber shops, hardware shops, fitness centers” or, as he puts it, “anyone with a WiFi” connection.

How is this not spying on American's?

"the unique experiences each person accumulates as their life unfolds. Good navigators, it appears, are mostly made, not born"

As the self proclaimed worst person in the world with directions, I can vouch for this. I was never taught how to find north, south, east, west as a kid, was never told to pay attention to landmarks on your way somewhere, never told to pay attention to street names, so on. And as a ultra runner my wife actually stopped coming to my races for a while bc you are expected to arrive at the next aid station around a certain time and if I wasn't familiar with the area I would get lost and she would worry that I was killed by a bear or smth. Since the advent of GPS on your wrist and such I don't get lost nearly as much. I honestly liked getting off course, being somewhere and seeing views most of all humanity would never see. But I still fail the test of 'point towards the lake' from sitting on my own couch. I can't quite make the connection in my mind, like driving I can't quite map out the entire route and often get streets confused.

AI isn't selling their music either.

Agreed. I just paid $409 for two tickets to a concert in Aug, yesterday. I'm not sure how much of that goes to the artist. But those prices make it really difficult for me to feel sorry for them as they cry out that they don't make enough money.

It seems their main complaint is that AI companies have used their copyrighted music to train AI.

It alleges that some of the "biggest and most powerful" companies (unnamed in the letter) are using the work of artists without permission to train AI models, with the aim of replacing human artists with AI-created content.

How is this any different than HS kids using their music to learn to play a song, an instrument, write music? Isn't this done today on a much larger scale by humans?

Wholesale decriminalization seems like a bad response based on the outcomes in many areas, but it really seems like there should be an option that doesn’t result in immediate criminal records for life.

Isn't this what the drug diversion programs are for? https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/diversion-programs.h...

There is also the mouth guard for apena.

As a former ultra runner who never competed in barely, women traditionally do better downhill, they are lighter, have a smaller stride length (more agile), and Barkley has a lot of downhill. It's a loop also so comparing it to utmb or any race that isn't a loop or onb isn't quite the same. Men do better uphill traditionally where there is more power and lung capacity required, which Barkley has plenty of also. One thing no one has really pointed out is most ultras alow for a pacer after a certain point. This is vital once you start to lose your ability to think. It keeps you from getting lost, keeps you on pace, ensures you drink and eat at the correct times, mentally it gives you someone to keep you motivated, keep you sane, so on. In Barkley you see runners grouping together to compensate for the lack of a pacer but the fifth loop they send each runner out in the opposite direction so they do the final loop solo, when everything is at its worst. For example, in 2022, Karel Sabbe was found asking a trash can for help getting back on course because he thought it was a women, on his fourth loop.

Honestly, I am surprised it hasn't happen prior to this year, minus the fact that there are just so few finishers.

I have been to Dell in Round Rock a few times, I used to manage the build and deployment of hardware for a sw dev co that spend about 4 million each quarter on hardware so I would get invited to training events - I was actually there for 9/11 - fun times. They believe in cost cutting to the bone. Keep in mind this was 20 years ago, their facilities were still new, and that we were spending $20M/yr, back in 2000. I came for a tour and our inside rep sat at what could barely be considered a desk in what could have passed as wide hallway, and she would back her chair into the person sitting behind her on a regular basis. No one has an office, they have small conference rooms you can book if you need to talk privately. Who would want to come back to that? And whose home office wouldn't be better than that?

I have been home based since 2006 and I wouldn't be opposed to going into the office under the right circumstances. And there are things you have to do when you are remote that just naturally occur when you are in the office with your peers day-to-day, but it doesn't impact my work. Maybe if you are more junior and rely on your peers more it might impact it that way but usually ppl seek me out for help instead of the other way around.

There needs to be a Pi-hole for cars.

It's DNS

It must run on batteries that can be purchased This is not true, there are electrical outlets in cells and common areas. In cells, it is a requirement for CPAP machines and in common areas there are electrical devices like TV's.

The main complaint and cost for prisoners as I understand it is the high cost of calling family members. Where most people might not even remember pay phones, if you do at their peak it was $0.35 to make a call, versus $6-24 for 15 minutes in prison [2].

When you factor in that most prisoners, that can even find a job in prison, make around $0.10/hr and most of their friends and family members are struggling on the outside bc they are just poor or at least one of the bread winners is now making $0.10/hr, that $15/call is very expensive. And even those that run the prison systems will tell you the number one thing to keeping a prisoner calm is regular communication with their family and friends [1]. It also costs $0.35 to send an email, while the two companies that run the telecoms for the prisons in the US raked in $1.4B [3]

Sorry my rant wasn't aimed at you, just wanted to clarify the part about batteries.

The premise that catalytic converter thefts have plummeted in the last few years is incorrect. In fact, recent data indicates that vehicle-related thefts, including catalytic converter thefts, have surged. According to a report by the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB), the nation experienced more than 64,000 catalytic converter thefts in 2022, with California and Texas leading the country in these incidents[3]. This represents a significant increase from 16,660 claims in 2020 to 64,701 in 2022, indicating a rising trend in catalytic converter thefts[3].

Furthermore, overall vehicle thefts have also increased. The FBI's annual crime report showed that there were 721,852 car thefts across the country in 2022, up from 601,453 incidents in 2021 and 420,952 reported in 2020[2]. This surge in car thefts has been attributed to various factors, including economic downturns, supply chain issues, and the high demand for cars and parts[4]. Additionally, a viral TikTok challenge encouraging the theft of Kia and Hyundai vehicles for joyrides, known as performance crime, has contributed to the uptick in car thefts[2].

Therefore, the data clearly indicates that catalytic converter thefts, as well as overall vehicle thefts, have not plummeted but have significantly increased in the last few years.

What's the point then? It appears only lawyers stand to gain from this, as usual.

"lawyers stand to gain from this"

Was this planned? What is behind this move?

"After a hospital was acquired by private equity, admitted Medicare patients had a 25% increase in hospital-acquired complications, compared with patients admitted before acquisition. Patients also had 27% more falls and 38% more bloodstream infections caused by central lines, which are temporary surgically inserted ports that allow easy intravenous access for patients receiving repeated drug infusions or other treatments.

The increase was seen despite private equity hospitals' placing 16% fewer central lines than before the buyout."

I am not sure who the private equity firms are, but I thought it was alarming when insurers started purchasing hospitals, urgent care facilities and even your standard family med doc, as they would be negotiating with themselves on how much profit they could make off each appointment. But I didn't consider lower standards when it comes to patient care, this adds a whole different dimension.

Does this ban them from using all facial recognition software or just the software they used, which are two very different things.

Also, I think ppl would be surprised at the number of places that use this type of sw (maybe not ppl here.) Walmart has amazing sw that id's ppl before they even enter the store and regularly work with LE in helping find ppl.

My daughter has this in her car after she got a DUI. This summer she had to have her car towed to their facility because it refused to let her start her car after getting gas. She had the option of paying to have it towed to them or having someone come out to fix their equipment at the rate of $250/hr. This type of thing has happened several times but usually they can fix it remotely. So, imagine your daughter coming out of work, someone in the parking lot making her nervous, her getting in her car and it won't start because their sensor is a POS.

Of course it will pass. The government will never willingly give up power and will only seek ways to expand it.

But you also assume they wouldn't give up using it due to frustration.

What's are the names of Verizon, Dish, US Cellular and T-Mobile's equivalent projects?
