I don’t know. A lot of us here are autistic.

We’ve already see baseball start to respond to some of the problems you listed, but I see it continuing to be a major issue for most leagues as the teams have got caught up in the asset appreciation seen in other kinds of assets.

We don’t really know. I expect things to degrade until we hit a constitutional crisis of some form.

Saudi Arabia tends to have a tradition of ambitious projects that fail due to various reasons.

I was being recruited on to work on that project and I worked with some engineers who ended up working on it.

Some people like spreadsheet sims.

The game series also mixed in a lot of mafia movie vibes and satire.

Then Rockstar realized you can release a lot less content by pushing online gameplay, stopping the release of single player content.

And Mamdani has stated that he is keeping on the current Police Commissioner for now.

I don’t see the coming administration targeting police reform outside the stated goals of a new agency being created to handle mental health related issues.

Similar backdoor control capabilities, usually at least officially frowned upon in Western tech companies, weren’t found in buses bought from Dutch company VDL.

Looks like that was discussed in the article.

Killswitches may be common, but it is major security implications if infrastructure is sold with them without the buyer knowing about them, which appears to the case here.

It also makes a case to not buy hardware from China if their manufacturers install these killswitches and don’t notify their owners.

Amazon, like a lot of other tech companies, has also been cutting product lines as increased interest rates has put a cost to money and a push to profitability.

That said, there is likely some use to AI, even if it is error prone.

The issue with kicking someone out of the royal house completely is that they are highly incentivized to trade their fame for money. This can include sponsorships and tell all books.

By providing some economic support, it keeps a leash on Andrew formerly known as Prince.

I don’t see that working today.

If it is a house, get good insurance on it that will pay out on the cost of the structure. If they demolish the house, keep the land undeveloped and invest the insurance payout rather than rebuild. Taxes will be low because the land will have dropped in price thanks to the local community. Continue as the town has to raise taxes because they are destroying rateable properties and insurance rates rise due to the increased likelihood of property damage. Hope for either pushing the locals out or getting a municipal bankruptcy to put the town under state control.

Likely not.

Am important part is that the local economy could be on board, but it is likely that some investor would see what is happening and buy the property.

There are studies showing that LLM AI is competitive against human C suite managers. When issues like AI hallucinations are brought up, it turns out that human C suite managers also make shit up all the time.

One interesting thing they found was that AI doesn’t do as well if there is a shock to the economic system like Covid.

It depends, though.

There are cases where parts of a struggling company is worth less than the sum of its parts. At that point, the fiscally prudent option is to sell it off, either in one piece or multiple pieces. There are plenty of cases in American corporate history where the best option is to cut losses and leave a market.

That being said, I’m surprised that private equity is still allowed to be a thing given the massive disparity shown in how a lot of financial disparity in how a lot of private equity companies run their companies against their fiduciary responsibilities to their companies’ stockholders and bondholders.

I’ve taken a listening course taught by a former cop. It turns out there is an active curriculum for police on how to actively listen to diffuse situations; it just isn’t taught as default to all cops.

Going for three from Against Me!

The military also doesn’t want to go back to a draft army. Discipline and morale suck with a draft army and there is severe political blowback to casualties from drafted personnel.

A lot of reforms post Vietnam were made to make sure that the US military didn’t need to draft.

It isn’t just a failure in education or misunderstanding.

For the most part, “OK Boomer” gets used when someone is expressing something as fact which may have used to be true, but no longer is. Maybe the use of the term has shifted over time, but that was the crux of that use.
