Between the comments here and the article itself, there are exactly three mentions of whatever tf it is you’re talking about… all from you.

So, in three days?

That appears to be fundamentally false.

A CEO.

Lytvynchuk is charged with violations of both the Endangered Species Act and the Marine Mammal Protection Act. If convicted, he faces up to one year in prison for each charge, along with potential fines of up to $20,000.

This! I don’t care if it’s endangered. I don’t care if it’s marine. I don’t care if it’s wild. Throwing rocks at any animal is enough to get your ass beat. Full stop.

Social media, at it’s core, is people communicating with each other. Effective communication requires using the correct words to convey the message you’re trying to send.

Using poor spelling, grammar or punctuation risks people A) misunderstanding what you’re trying to say, or B) thinking that you’re ignorant or uneducated and that therefore your input is of no value.

Wait, what?!?!

Holy Shit. Ok.

Well, I hope it’s as good as the first 3.

/crawls back under rock/

One of the best series ever on TV. I was sad when it ended, but ever grateful that they didn’t ruin it by trying to milk it’s popularity to death.

From OPs linked article…

In tests involving 197 participants, the researchers said the system identified individuals with nearly 100% accuracy. The recognition remained effective regardless of viewing angle or how the participants walked.

Also, I tried plugging the patch cable directly into my own wifi router and nothing.

The router would need to be explicitly configured to connect to your account on the network, which would require certain information provided by the ISP, which it sounds like they weren’t going to provide.

Well …

You mean Comedy Central? Home of The Daily Show?

I think I’ll continue to enthusiastically support The Daily Show.

Same. This seems to be the correct link.

It’s time.

I kinda get one of the realtors’ complaints, that Zillow shows how long a house has been on the market, so if you price it too high, it languishes, and that looks bad.

But, then don’t overprice it! As a home buyer, how long it’s been sitting there looking for a buyer would be very useful information to me.

Plus, as a home seller, I would expect my realtor to market the house to every god damn potential buyer alive, both to increase how quickly the house sells, as well as how much I could potentially get for it.

I would be supremely pissed if, after signing a contract with an agent, I found out they were essentially holding my house hostage in a private database that only their agent friends could see.

The only lesson I take from this story is, don’t list your house with Compass or any other agency that pulls this private listing horse shit.

Yes, but also no. Plenty of people will buy and read these books and watch AI slop movies. Everyone can cook healthy meals at home, and many do, but there’s still a big market for fast food restaurants and prepackaged microwave meals.

Reminds me of a case many many years ago. A guy had been in prison for decades. Science finally caught up and DNA evidence proved he was innocent. The prosecutor for the case, who now happened to be the state Attorney General, doubled down, essentially saying “the case was already tried, he was found guilty, end of story.” Even once the public got wind of it and there was a huge outcry, it still took forever for the AG to budge. Downright fucking evil.

Relevant Tangent:

When you try to link two financial accounts (in the US) for the purpose of transferring money from one to the other, and the originating financial institution offers, or in many cases now outright insists you use Plaid (a third party company) to make the connection…

YSK you’re giving Plaid permanent access to all of your financial records on the target account. They can immediately download your entire history and go back whenever they want to get an update.

Sometimes they obfuscate that they’re even using Plaid, so here’s how to tell.

If they “inconveniently” ask for routing and account numbers, and tell you that they’re going to make two small deposits into the target account and that you need to watch for those deposits in the next few days and then come back and enter how much those deposits were to verify that it’s your account, then that is NOT Plaid. This is the version you want!

If, however, they “conviently” jump to a window for you to log into the target account to instantly make the connection, THAT’S Plaid. Once you enter your login info, you’ve just given Plaid permission to paw through your account history and come back to rummage for more whenever they’d like.

Yes!

Oh, wait. You weren’t asking us.

Dammit.
