Ride share is very popular and it offers a similar service to what most people expect from self driving cars.
I think that the majority of people want a vehicle for transportation and those who want a car for recreation are a minority.
A survey of 18,000 Americans released in March pointed to flexible work schedules helping mental health.
It’s almost like the work force actually values the quality of their lives more than … umm, honestly I’ve never been able to figure out a positive side for companies pushing RTO. Report after report show remote work improves productivity, employee retention, is perceived as a significant perk to attract new talent, and reduces corporate overhead (that last one is just an assumption on my part).
Seriously, what is the attraction for RTO?
Odd response. I am curious to know what reportable offense OP thinks I committed.
You seemed really confused why somebody would be upset about 8,000 dead children and also stated that you were “happy” about the updated numbers.
You are “happy” about 8,000 dead children?
Today, under 5,000 women and 8,000 children are now officially listed by the UN as casualties.
Is that supposed to be the good news?
One side is fearful while the other is merely worried. Does that feel like loaded language to anybody else or am I being paranoid about subconscious manipulation by the media?
For those, like me, who had never heard of BRICS before this article.
BRICS is an intergovernmental organization comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates. Originally identified to highlight investment opportunities,[1] the grouping evolved into a cohesive geopolitical bloc, with their governments meeting annually at formal summits and coordinating multilateral policies since 2009.
How is banning TikTok “limiting technological advancements”?
Would you agree that I was able to provide examples of “China doing the same” which you stated that you “did not see”?
Are you kidding? China has some of the strongest censorship laws in the world which includes filtering internet content and blocking access to apps. North Korea is the only country that has more repressed access to free information.

The Chinese government has banned, among others, Google, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, BBC, Wikipedia and … are you ready for this … TIKTOK. The Chinese government agrees that TikTok should be banned (though for different reasons).

In 2020, so-called “AI agents” defeated human pilots in simulations in all five of their match-ups - but the technology needed to be run for real in the air.
It did not reveal which aircraft won the dogfight.
I’m gonna guess the AI won.
Some refrigerators can dispense cold filtered water.
The intentional injection, release, or dispersion, by any means, of chemicals, chemical compounds, substances, or apparatus within the borders of this state into the atmosphere with the express purpose of affecting temperature, weather, or the intensity of the sunlight is prohibited,
So just bring a camera to film it and say the express purpose is to make art, educational videos, documentaries, study dispersal patterns, etc.
It’s totally cool to affect the environment accidentally or as a biproduct of another activity.
The difference is the US government believes that TikTok is beholden to the Chinese government. When a corporation acts this way it is an invasion of privacy. When a foreign government acts this way it is espionage.
If TikTok is sold to an entity the US government thinks is sufficiently independent from a foreign government, then they can continue spying on users.
Alternatively, they may be able to registers under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. I don’t know how that would impact TikTok’s ability to operate though.
The general take away is “Surveillance is oppression and it is the responsibility of the people to stand up against oppression”.
A few other quotes I like that fit the theme.
“People shouldn’t be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people.”
— V (V for Vendetta)
“Without privacy, you can’t have anything for yourself. Saying you don’t care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is like saying you don’t care about free speech because you have nothing to say.”
— Edward Snowden
Am I expected to pay or be paid the $800?
Nooooo! 😭 I so badly wanted this to be real. I had even looked it up by ISBN to try and order it. The ISBN is for a book titled Brute Orbit, if anybody is curious.
The month is Compuary, which is a new cyber-month they added just for doing hacker stuff.
A what now? To do what again?
And they do sex stuff up there as well.
Reeeeealy?
There’s Baltimore Airport, lab-grown to be a swimsuit model but programmed to kill.
Obviously a complex character with depth.
There’s Crusty Silverware…
Say no more … please.

Seriously, I need to read this book or my life may never feel complete!
So the prize was delayed, not denied. Misleading headlines like this really make it difficult to trust the source.
