The "Are you a cop bro?" thing, is completely made up by TV/movies. Police have always been able to lie, otherwise undercover work wouldn't be able to exist.
Entrapment is a very specific thing. The police has to encourage you to do a crime that you wouldn't have done previously.
For prostitution: Cop walks down street, sees a pretty lady, the cop asks "Would you like to have sex for money?" = Entrapment Cop walks down street, sees a pretty lady, the lady asks "Would you like to have sex for money?" = Not entrapment
Devils advocate: I'm assuming the code that checks if a return is valid is also the code that flags returns for audits. You wouldn't want to make that open source because then people would know exactly how much they could steal and not caught buy the automated system.
But they should totally have a "Is this information correct" online version of the tax forms.
1. Kids don't produce anything, striking saves resources 2. Education is for their benefit 3. Their parents may be liable for them not going to school 4. This is obviously mostly done because of they want to skip class. That is why it is a Friday. 5. Who are they are they trying to influence? You protest at a bank because of the policies of the bank. Schools are not causing CC 6. Are they doing "productive" things during the time? Or just playing games or whatever?
While I enjoyed the movie, it did seem a touch too much "girl power" for me. If you made compare it to Wonder Woman, it was never a big deal that WW was female, there was a couple "don't underestimate her" moments. But for the most part it would have worked if the gender was switched.
Captain Marvel was trying a little bit too much. The biggest thing that stands out was the fight sequence towards the end to No Doubt's "Just a Girl".
I'm glad the movie is doing well. It's funny is because the people who were getting the most upset over this were the people who you know are going to see it anyways. You can't skip the movie that is right before Endgame.
While that is a good point that I hadn't considered before. I'm still not convinced:
- Other search engines already exist in a censored state in China (bing)
- I think if a country was going to be an asshole, I don't think it would depend on Google. They would just tell google search that they can't exist there without there without being censored.
Yes, being in China would suck. But their policies certainly aren't going to change because of a google.cn site.
There are numerous benefits to them setting up shop there:
- Taking money out of the Chinese economy and putting it into ours
- Giving Chinese citizens more information is better
- Allows Google to create a foothold in China. If they become a major player there, they might be able to effect change down the line
The only real downside is the fact the engine will probably fail and thus cost money.
In the US being an Equal Opportunity Employer is often more about the applicants than the people working. After all you can't control who quits or leaves, but you can control who you hire.
But in either case, you kinda have to know how many apply to say that you aren't discriminating. If you only hire 20 white males, that might look bad. But if you only had 100 white male applicants, that is ok (well, mostly). But if you hire 20 white males out of: 20 white male applicants, 20 white female, 20 black male, 20 asian male, 10 black females, 10 asian females. Than it looks like you have a bias.
Well obviously if you use a club card type thing that can be tracked. Also if you use the same credit card to pay for things, they know how often you come, how many snacks you buy, etc.
Yeah, as it written with out current level of technology. I don't think it is feasible. A true UBI type system seems very Star Trek. Food, energy, space would have to become much lower cost to allow society to absorb the inevitable deadbeats without feeling it too much. That's an interesting aspect with the gig economy, it could help level things out.
Well, if unemployment was 600 and pay was 800. It might not be worth it. But if I got to keep the unemployment after getting a job, that would then be 1400 for the 40 hours which is much better.
The main theory behind a UBI is reducing the diminishing returns from going from unemployed to employed. The loss of benefits (unemployment, food stamps, disability, etc) often is as much or close to the income from an entry level job. So instead of getting paid ~$12 / hour for work (after taxes, etc.), you're only seeing a ~$1-2/hour increase. For many people it's not cost effect to get work when they already on some programs.
The UBI is basically supposed to say "Go get a job, look at all the extra money!"
[Not that I agree/disagree. It has has some interesting ideas, and I think experiments like this is a good idea. But, people are selfish bastards, so I'm not optimistic.]
Most places don't have quotas, some small towns might. But bigger departments are normally better run and have better defined policies. They will look at the number of citations given of course, basically if you are getting paid for 10-12 hours of a shift, you should do something. Tickets, arrests, reports, written warnings, etc.
Asset forfeiture is also really rare, it's not like they arrest people for a DUI and then take their car.
Fun fact, depending on how the courts system is setup, departments might not get revenue from citations. Our local county police department gets 0% of the money from citations because it all goes to the state.
Most (all?) of the schools in my state don't have general tv-style lockers. All our campuses are open, where classes are in many different buildings and you have to walk outside to get from class to class. An open building with lockers outside would just invite break-ins at night.
Generally the only lockers were inside of the gym, but they weren't assigned to you, you used them for the day and I don't think you even locked them.
It is worse than that. Google "loses" money on news.google.X. Generally they don't make any money it since there isn't ads on it (I just confirmed on stock IE). [Obviously they get user analytics, and maybe some sites may pay them for click-throughs] Which is why they are so quick to drop the whole product for a huge amount of people.
The first episode is probably the worst one. Normally people I know who recommend the show, just say skip the first episode. I would really recommend giving it another shot. A million merits or white Christmas are good.
john deere just won the right to keep their customers from repairing the tractors. If this were transferable to the scooters, then bird has a case.
IIRC, it was mostly about the homebrew software that worked with the JD equipment. A strange copyright infringement because the software has to talk to the hardware a certain way. I don't think that would apply to ripping out all of the JD boards and replacing them with your own, which is what this 'hack' does.
This has to be a troll. You know any sort of "real" AI is VERY far off. We are not even a little close. Not in All our 'AI' falls into one of two categories: 1) If / Then / Else type statements, 2) Rapid trial and error to solve this very specific narrow problem.
Google's Deepmind Go program is no closer to taking over the world than an average 3 year old.
Throwing more CPU cycles or RAM will not make it suddenly "smart".
I would be very surprised if we get anything remotely in the same ballpark as "smart" in our lifetimes.
But machine learning can have awesome positive effects on society.
They release a notice saying that every camera that is damaged, they will add X% to the fuel tax to repair the equipment. Granted this slightly punishes everyone for the action of the jerks, but it would make the actions of jerks less "sexy" to the public.
At first I thought this was about SEOs or something, but it is a legit attack/bug/thing. I've never seen anyone post about this issue before. This just allows you to attach any info panel to any search result. So you could make one: "Where was Obama Born" and have it show a full width info box about the planet Mars. Which definitely makes it seem that Google says he was born on Mars. https://www.google.com/search?...
This would be good for businesses too. Make a URL for "What is the best restaurant in Chicago" with the info panel for you business, and put that link on your site.
This will totally get fixed. I guess it will bet set that if you go to a url with a search and info panel, ensure that the info panel would display with that search.

Do you have a source for that?
The one I found cited a $0.00397 per stream rate for Spotify
[ https://thetrichordist.com/201... ]
Which works out to be $3,970 per million streams.
Interestingly Apply does seem to pay almost twice as much at $0.00783 / stream.
Ugh. Sooo stupid. I don't have words.

Ok. I lied, I guess I do have words.
They specifically call it a low security type lock. The iris scanner was removed to make the hole punch smaller.
The recommend using the fingerprint for biometrics.

Well, kinda. If you take less than 16 MP photos or 1080p video, the free service is the same as the paid. If only limits very large photos/videos.
Which change are you referring to specifically? How do you feel that the web is made worse by the changes in the new version of Chrome?
Or are you just whining in general?

I've never heard the term either and it is losing relevance.
It peaked in Nov 2005, it is about 34% as popular now.
