My point is it’s already for sale, both in bankruptcy proceedings and potentially in less legitimate spaces

What’s stopping you from doing it now?

Less than 4% recitivism is pretty impressive compared to the average prison stay.

That said, I think sheltering those unwilling to take accountability and change is a disgusting abuse of the ‘justice’ system. I think criminals unwilling to enter/engage with rehab programs should:

1. Not be released from prison regardless of term

2. Not be separated from Gen pop in prison

Pedophiles and child molesters are literally the most hated and shamed people on the planet.

1 out of 5 to 1 out of 10 children are sexually abused depending on what numbers you go by (it is likely even worse based on report rates for sexual violence and commonality of trauma related amnesia).

Shame doesn’t help anyone. In fact it’s one of the biggest reasons why victims don’t speak out.

Shaming doesn’t work. It just makes people hide and get worse.

Doesn’t this just increase the value of the already for sale 23 and Me data?

I don’t think “depleted stocks” is good way for saying there are tanks available but not usable but I also don’t know what a better wording would be so maybe it’s accurate. Thanks for elaborating regardless.

Even without assuming they’ll use low quality examples, the article also says

According to researchers, only about 1,200 tanks can still be relatively easily restored after major repairs.

It sure sounds like the title is BS.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone with an understanding of religion. Monotheism has always used othering of people not within the clique to insulate followers.

Not only are other people’s beliefs OBJECTIVELY wrong due to everything my God says being true but you’re also commiting sins against the true God for rejecting him.

Wrote down not off.

Debt is written off when deemed unrecoverable.

Assets can be written down when the value is lower than expected. Often this is due to more rapid depreciation of capital assets due to damage or impairments to goodwill (brand failure).

But none of that matters because private equity valuations are all bullshit and mean nothing anyways.

How long will Win 10 IoT be viable for gaming and home use?

Unnamed Feeling by Metallica always resonated on the alexithymia angle.

Honestly St. anger has quite a few that I think resonate well, Invisible Kid for obvious reasons. Frantic for meltdowns. My World for masking.

Also the fact that so many people hate that album triggers my contrarian energy to say that it’s my favorite. People’s expectations of what Metallica should be is why that album was hated.

Metallica catches a lot of flak for being the most commercially successful metal band but when they did something entirely from the gut, folks threw a tantrum. Something about being told to be authentic only to get immediately shat on feels like a pretty quintessential autism experience.

Denmark has not kept pace and devoted the resources necessary to keep this base, to keep our troops, and in my view, to keep the people of Greenland safe from a lot of very aggressive incursions from Russia, from China and other nations," Vance said. He gave no details of the alleged incursions. The U.S. vice president said Russia, China and other nations are taking an “extraordinary interest” in Arctic passageways, naval routes and minerals in the region and the U.S. will invest more resources, including naval ships and military icebreakers that will have a greater presence in the country.

It sounds like there is one one group doing more aggressive incursions.

The human operators are there for when the AI gets softlocked in a situation where it doesn’t know what to do and just sits there, not for regular driving.

It doesn’t even need to be a side quest, just a second screen activity lol

They’ll do it for pennies an hour for 12 hours a day.

Autocorrect only works when you use the enter or spacebar. Sending a one word message is just asking for it

I was referring to the child.

Children don’t get to pick their name or their parents.

No, because it’s speculation.

It’s far more comfortable to think it’s being done for some malicious reason rather than out of stupidity or fear.

I was going to make that joke too but given the real victim of the punchline is someone who had no ability to consent or exercise control in the situation it doesn’t feel right.

The system will only scale if there are enough desperate poor people. Otherwise it quickly become too expensive.

You can also get MMORPG players to do it for pennies per hour for in-game currency or membership. RuneScape players would gladly control 5 ‘autonomous’ cars if it meant that they could level up their farming level for free.

The game is basically designed to be an incredibly time consuming skinner box that takes minimal skill and effort in order to maximize membership fees.
