It depends on what your goal is in talking to the council. Here, the goal was media attention. If you want the council to actually engage with your comment - because it’s reasonable and not insane - then wearing an outfit probably will not

A reminder that city council public comment meetings can be more like Parks and Rec than anyone imagines. That said, showing up and making comments at local meetings can really matter. The number of people who actually participate in meetin

I’m not talking about a literal Marketing 101 course, but I’m also not entirely facetious about this all being taught in a first or second Marketing class (having attended those). I agree we should not expect everyone to have taken a market

Some of the collection is creepy, and I’ve largely stopped using mobile apps and loyalty programs myself. However, some of the concern seems very misplaced. “Oh no McDonald’s runs a Customer Lifetime Value algorithm, a thing in use for deca

I recently got the slightly smaller sister (the Solterra). The Trailseeker is actually known as the e-Outback outside North America, and it looks it. On a straight line full pedal down it will spin the front tires. Absurdly fun. Not as nimb

The state as a whole does not have a financial motivation. The interests of the criminal justice system on the other hand is heavily financially benefited from the current state of affairs. More incarcerations means more judges, more lawyer

More importantly Apple can effectively bring up the shadow of this lawsuit whenever OpenAi tries to acquire money. They can make legal fillings and calls to Bloomberg to keep the story going as long as they want to and suck some oxygen out

It’s even more ridiculous when choosing to do it Apple. It’s hard to think of a company with more legal resources and which is more protective of its hardware IP.

Apple kindly wanted to make OpenAI add in some legal liabilities to their IPO filling. Discovery is going to be great fun (for Apple).

They don’t own the contest, an Israeli company sponsors Eurovision. I suspect the song on Israeli participation is not over yet, but that’s a side tangent.

Many countries effectively have a live registry of where people live, updated to within a few weeks. A door to door census isn’t needed because they can do something like: SELECT a.province, COUNT(DISTINCT b.id_num) FROM registry a INNER JO

The pure audacity to get caught and chewed out by a judge and then continue not reviewing briefings for hallucinated cases.

Which is clearly illegal. Congress would need to declare any official language(s). Moreover, by treaty and law (NALA of 1990) obligations to Native American tribes there must be more languages than merely English.

Unlike North Korea, Israel is highly globally economically integrated. I’ve only ever seen anti-Zionists propose defeating the state the same way the last apartheid state (and Israel’s nuclear weapon development partner) was: a mix of extre

I believe it’s in reference to the humor TV show Letterkenny which has a beer brand called Puppers. Characters on the show often ask for another fucking puppers.

Because it would be really nice to know if some of the currents collapse when it happens rather than months later. Even beyond that immediate need, the oceans are incredibly poorly studied and are of massive economic and military value to t

If you are worth $52 Billion how petty do you have to be to go after your ex girlfriend for cash for any reason? Also the arbiters write up is incredibly biased and not at all what I would expect a neutral party to write. “One can also conc

The EU also lacks incentivizes to not harm SpaceX. The US government as a whole, and DoD in particular wants SpaceX around to deliver cheap mass to orbit. Europe on the other hand would love any judgements which give their rockets a chance

Tbf UBI-lite during COVID was paired with 2 things: 1) massive handouts to business owners through forgiven “loans.” Predictably this had massive fraud, some of which was prosecuted but not much. 2) massively constrained supply chains which

If power plants and bridges are targeted, would imagery of that be released “on a case-by-case basis for urgent, mission-critical requirements or in the public interest?” Is there any recourse for the media to seek an exemption? If a hedg

What a mad idea. The aesthetic ended up pretty cool but I can’t imagine the thought process that lead to capturing the launch on a 3DS.

It’s not in the article. They list their findings but no data. They effectively are just issuing an opinion. The opinion may be more considered than the rest of ours, but it’s not data.

There’s probably a reason the analysis has not been made public. It’s not evidence until published because it can’t be disputed.

Not only trans athletes, but any biologically born women the IOC thinks are insufficiently feminine. It’s an unfair advantage apparently. You know, like being born tall for basketball players. Curious how no other biological advantages are

It’s impressive the optical complexity some of these systems use. Custom and complex prisms and mirrors to show the AF points. Arguably more complicated than the anutofocus optics. The engineering of electromechanical cameras fascinates me.
