Watch any random sampling of body cam footage and you won't think the majority of violence was the cops. I'm amazed at the restraint honestly.
Now when I was a kid...getting thrown into a paddywagon while hammered after mouthing off to a cop was a right of passage.

Exactly.
Case in point: I worked on an investment team that had a product that at the time would close at $2b in assets. We were top 5% on 1/3yr performance, so we had incoming demand.
The dept head was paid on sales per calendar year, so he forced us to accept the last $300m of assets in December at 0.60% fee. Our average fee on the existing $1.7b? 1.25%. If we had waited for the other pipeline biz to close in Jan-March, it would have been at least 1% fee.
Many dumb buisness decisions are just logical decisions for a individual based on incentives that you can't see. They happen to be at odds with the goals of the firm as a whole.

I was in investment management for a us bank - here the requirement is all officers must take 5 consecutive days off to ensure at least one weekend is covered.
Considering I never touched money, it was one of those fun perks of working for a bank, like taking 2 hours of elder abuse classes for regulations in a state I didn't live nor work in, and being tested yearly all about money laundering laws and regulations.

Weather is not rare.
This algorithm is going to have speed,acceleration, traction, steering vs direction as some of the inputs. A good rainstorm or snowstorm is going to tough to differentiate from drunk or high driving. Those aren't edge cases. And how long then will the car decide you need a time out? 5 mins? 1 hiur? 4 hours? There is no way this doesn't get pushed back from a 2026 implementation anyway. You can't just drop this in when those model year cars are almost fully designed by now

Do you go out of your way to pay more tax than is legally required? If not, are you morally bankrupt? Of course not.
Tax laws are the rules of the game. If you don't like the rules, change them (democracy and all) and enjoy the positive and negative consequences as they unfold.
Re:Adobe charges subscription cancellation fee
on Wednesday April 14, 2021 @08:02AM (#26805879)
True. But any refill that doesn't state the fact upfront is also fraud.
If a company is transparent that you will be automatically charged every year, and has an easy way to cancel before the date, well then that's on me. I've paid those obligations even if I'm not using the product.
But if the rebill terms are hidden during the marketing process, and buried away in fine print....good luck collecting from Sammy Davis, Sr, Dirtbag Co.

Sorry, I didn't even think to look myself before asking.A quick look at the source seems ok, but you might want to run it through "view as google it" on GSC.
My question was instinctive to ask because I've heard that incorrect canonical settings make you open to this sort of attack.
Good luck either way - ranking is hard enough without dealing with these issues.

Serious question: Are the off-duty police allowed to do anything if a "small" crime happens? Or is this for security theatre only?
I mean, if I steal a 4TB SSD, it's unlikely there's going to be a prosecution right? So are they going to risk the career damage of brutalizing me when I resist, or knocking out some teeth tackling me if I decide to run?
Re:B8ta closing another San Francisco store after armed robbery

True, but those places don't put up with the rampant public antisocial behavior on the streets San Fran seems to embrace.
I've been around the world to many dangerous places for work and service, and the only place I saw someone take a dump in public on a sidewalk was in San Francisco. He was 3 feet from one of the public toilets the city had installed (this was 2001, I think they cost $0.25 to use at the time?)
This isn't some new phenomenon.

Legally. I don't believe the path to citizenship is paved if you are working and staying in either of those countries illegally.
Both Australia and Canada are quite picky on whom they let in. It's points based, supposed to be fit to the needs of the country.
For giggles, I took my score for Canada. As a middle-aged individual, I wouldn't be able to get in under the normal program even while nearly topping out most other categories (I speak English and French, have advanced degrees, etc).
Of course, you can buy your way in to almost any country.

Its a little strange that an article mentioning funding running out a few times never gets around to mentioning just how much funding this experiment has gotten over the years. Feels like a key piece of data that could help inform the reader.
In any case, hope they eventually get this to be net energy-positive.
