Yes we had access to Soviet TV. I am GenX and grew up in the 80s. We even studied Soviet culture in Social Studies in High Schools. Because we are supposed to be the better system and not in fear of lesser authoritarian regimes.

But you obviously would rather live in China

Not necessarily. COPPA has no such requirement, for example. Instead, it applies if you know or reasonably suspect a child under a specific age could or is using the platform. It’s sort of a “don’t ask don’t tell” dilemma here.

I understand why but this is unlikely to help Italy ..

If storing data for children has different compliance laws then you have to collect that data to store any data at all and remain in compliance.

Most ad blockers nowadays ad block obtrusive ads such as popups and not all ads.

I guess you agree with my point about forcing employers to pay for work done.

A few grand per year for an employee sounds a bit like a raise. I support it.

Admin costs rise, other costs fall such as hours scheduled but not worked (e.g. calling out sick) fall. Yes, the company is just going to eat these costs. "What if it gets passed on?" That's the point. Wrap up the total cost of a product in the price. Stop externalizing costs that shouldn't be. The cost of paying workers a living wage is a pittance when lumped into the price of a service or product.

Make better algorithms? I'm not sure what you expect. If the company isn't finding suitable hires within their radius they will adapt, like increasing the radius or reducing the requirements.

There are already exemptions for small businesses for onerous costs such as healthcare, as well as models for scaling mileage in rural places with small pizza places. Again, it's making things harder than they need to be. Unsure why you're acting flippantly towards exemptions in your response.

Sounds like we went around the monopoly board and collected $200 rather than full circle, but hey, everyone has a different opinion. Thanks for sharing yours.

I specifically chose my trim model BECAUSE of apple CarPlay. If they didn’t have it I would have stuck with the base. And now that I been car shopping again, apple CarPlay is must. But also I don’t buy American garbage, and especially not a GM lol

This study assumed that politicians assess the content of letters they receive beyond what is necessary to appeal for money. That is bizarrely naive for a social researcher.

but the topic isn't relevant because we're talking about china's current ongoing genocide.

NYPD needs a complete overhaul.

So your telling me that the USA really care about the people of Taiwan.

Their choice. The real question is will openAI care in the end? I mean it their citizens want the tool the work around is probably quite easy as we see in China.

Stay far away, please. Thanks!

They would have to drop all of EU.

Why is Warner even bothering? SCOTUS is well on it's way to bench legislating something far more destructive.

Automobile touch screens are unsafe AF.

All I need is the ability to play media on my phone and cast it to the car's screen and audio system.

That's it.

Anything else to control the car needs some hardware knobs and buttons.

Car companies suck at making digital products and they need to knock it the fuck off.

Police that don't take orders from their legal civilian bosses. Just waiting for the MAGA Messiah to regain power.

Are they actually intelligent?

So what's the penalty for not complying? Is there any? If so is anyone going to enforce it? Will they charge anybody?

I'm going to guess that there's no penalty and/or no enforcement so it's actually just a suggestion, not an actual law.

I predict that the comment before yours will be down-voted. There, I'm off on my journey as a prognosticator.

Nothing new... NYPD is probably one of the WORST for following the law. They literally were running a illegal surveillance shop in NJ spying on Muslims after 9/11 which produced ZERO leads, and cost millions in both running the unit, and the settlements that followed when NJ state, NJ cities, Muslim groups, and others sued them.

I work in the corporate meetings business. Ray was hired one time to give an afternoon keynote speech, and this was many, many years ago. One takeaway I remember was that he predicted that everybody would have their own IP address, maybe even a tattoo or transmitter under one of their fingers. That way anyone can walk up to any terminal and all their lives will be accessible. The justification would be freedom of travel, money access, and medical history, all their data and photos can be accessed without the need to carry anything.

It was a very utopian vision and didn't take into account all the unscrupulous activity that big companies and government would engage in.
