Someone's name comes up as a duplicate, so they are purged.
All that means is that they need to register again. Big deal.
But this won't catch much actual fraud. Other steps like tighter controls on absentee voting and requiring identification at the polling place are what's really needed.
Here's how it works. You pay someone to participate in a protest and then have them do something that's really ugly and angers people.
Same thing happened at Tea Party rallies. Some random guy shows up with a racist sign, news media films him then asks rally organizers why they didn't toss the guy out.
I used to work at GE, they did occasionally try to fire someone for poor performance. It was always a major hassle documenting the reasons, discussing the problem with the employee, etc. But it did happen once in a while when the person was truly a non-performer and sometimes resulted in a lawsuit against the company.
Much more common was a RIF - Reduction In Force. Those involved a large number of people (like this one at Tesla) and usually effected older employees, poor performers, and people with the misfortune to be in a poor performing business group. Yea, it's illegal to layoff older employees in order to cut salaries so they always threw in a few younger employees to make it look like a mix.
There were usually a few really poor performers around before a RIF. We called them "canaries", because like a canary in a coal mine, as long as they were around you knew you were safe.
We don't know if the big storm off the coasts of Ireland and Scotland that destroyed much of the Spanish Armada in September/1588 was a hurricane. Probably every bit as powerful as Ophelia though.
I have to believe it's both. Fruit trees (e.g. apples) depend on a certain number of cold days before they are ready to break dormancy. Maple trees start pumping sap in the Spring when the temperature is right (warm days and cold nights).
Instead of moving it to within a few weeks of Winter Solstice they should have moved it the other way. Or gotten rid of it all together. Then the Sun would come up later and it wouldn't be so warm.
The hard part is defining the requirements and architecting a solution based on those requirements. The hard part of "coding" is understanding those two things. I don't see AI getting there for a long time.
If you're comfortable with doing it yourself, sure. I'd at least have it notarized. As I said in my original post though, a lawyer won't charge much for a routine service like this.
It doesn't cost much to have a will prepared by a lawyer. Sign it, have it witnessed, and make it known to prospective heirs; it saves everyone a lot of bother. Just do it.
When I was in the Navy we would pick up schools of porpoises on the radar. The sea has to be perfectly calm when the school approaches, their splashing looks like a small cloud on the radar screen. The sonar picked them up too, sounds like a basketball game with the guys' sneakers squeaking on the floor.
There was a net decrease of 33K jobs, compared to the net increase of ~175K that would have been expected without the storms. How many people enter the workforce, change jobs, or retire isn't the issue here.
The story is that Russian hackers stole documents from the contractor's laptop, which he had stolen from NSA.
What I haven't seen is how NSA learned that the Russians obtained that information, and how do they know it came from a compromised Kaspersky installation on that particular guy's laptop?
It sounds like all the spooks are hacking each other.

Kind of like requiring all students to learn "coding". Next they'll need to know how to "AI"

there just happen to be some very good horror genre movies this year
More like one big and one okay hit. Take away "It" and the numbers are mediocre.

Maybe because three times as many people are killed in traffic accidents versus shootings.

Nobody is asking Microsoft to go to Ireland in order to retrieve the data; it can be accessed from the US.
I have to believe it's both. Fruit trees (e.g. apples) depend on a certain number of cold days before they are ready to break dormancy. Maple trees start pumping sap in the Spring when the temperature is right (warm days and cold nights).

The issue has nothing to do with Ireland. It's data on a US citizen that Microsoft (a US company) has.
Even a "secret" Swiss bank account can be subpoenaed in a criminal trial.
Everything in Australia is the most dangerous in the world. Even things that are not in the world at the moment.

If drone owners don't go along voluntarily they will be forced into it by government regulation. Which do you prefer?
If you're comfortable with doing it yourself, sure. I'd at least have it notarized. As I said in my original post though, a lawyer won't charge much for a routine service like this.
What's the problem? It seems pretty clear that the owners (aka investors) have been kept informed of the change in strategy.

Can it be used as fuel for spaceships?
In a science fiction story, sure.
In reality, no - it's far too sparse.
Nobody has done it.

Economically there is no advantage to randomly destroying infrastructure and an apparent "construction boom" resulting from a storm
That's true, but the point was that the jobs "shed" in September will be replaced quickly. The economy is still growing very nicely.

Do you have an Elon Musk mention quote to meet every freaking day? Because yours is the first mention of Musk I see on this thread.
No, but I did read the summary. Did you?
