Can you explain what you mean?

We’re moving apartments and it’s a REALLY great time to trim up all the stupid stuff we haven’t touched in years. heh

Thank you for your misplaced sarcasm. I am quite aware, friend. I have been seeing down votes for decades, warning people about the fascism that was coming. But thank you, you have judged me very well on one simple post and all of that time was for naught. I bow down to your superiority.

Oh yeah, I assume it’s that level of stupidity. Idiots in charge with zero concept of laws or IT or security.

Either way, letting them know we’re about to strike is stupid, so of course that’s why he can’t keep his trap shut about it.

Can we fucking not.

Also:

“He is spending a lot of time thinking about this,” one source said.

No he fucking is not.

My brain always reads this as “/handjob” and it breaks my brain for a sec. :)

And that has what to do with anything I said?

Let’s have a bit of real talk here.

Why were flying cars a failure? Because on the ground, if something goes wrong, you can just stop. Pull over and stop. In the air, you have to have a trained pilot to handle problems and even then people still do occasionally die. So flying cars were never going to be a thing.

Self-driving cars, however, just requires time and research. We will get there, it’s just early. The tech is not ready for prime time yet. But it will eventually be.

And in fact, to wrap it back around to flying cars: At some point, we will have self-flying transportation of some sort.

Once the safety improves to something like 10x that of humans driving/piloting, it’ll all be self-driving.

We’re just not there yet.

That’s the thing - they are not driving them, they’re telling the cars where to go to get out of the situation. It’s not great, but it’s tired seeing the hype of “FERR’N PEOPLE DRIVIN’ CARS ON OUR ROADS”.

My investigation into Alpha School also reveals that the massive amounts of data the company collects on students, including videos of them, is stored in a Google Drive folder that anyone with the link—even if they’ve left the company, or if it was sent to them—could access. In turn, that sensitive material is viewed by more Alpha School employees than students and parents may realize.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I’m gonna stop you right there with a huge huge WHAT the FUCK. That is an incredible decision to have made. Stunning.

I saw that Alpha School maintains a spreadsheet which contains a list of student names, their grade, and an archive of their recordings which shows what’s happening on their screen, their remote tutor, and a video of the student taken via their webcam. This spreadsheet is not only available to anyone at the company, but is also shared in such a way that anyone on the internet who has the link can access the spreadsheet and the videos of students.

“If I wanted to, I could go there and just watch students. Anybody who worked in this capacity could watch the videos of students working on their laptops,” one Alpha School employee told me. “So many hours of just students’ faces […] I’m not sure parents understand exactly what’s going on with that data […] I don’t think that this is clearly communicated, because I’m sure there’d be a lot more opt outs if it was.”

Wonder how many pedos work for the company.

Dunno if that’ll be better, but I created it to see if it helped :)

I did more skimming than reading of the linked article because I don’t care that much abou tthe topic, but I just want to say: We need more of this journalism. THIS is what journalists should be doing so much more of. Calling out lies and specifically this is a great format for that.

Ahhhhhh, gotcha. Well, something like that can indirectly hurt because lower wages means shittier employees who care less and make crappier food slower. Many fast food locations across all the brands suffer from this. But if you have a good one with good service and food quality, it’s more likely you’ll patronize them.

For a long time I didn’t eat Burger King because the only ones near me were crappy. But we’ve moved to a place where we have one that’s decent, so it’s something I get very occasionally.

But yeah, most of fast food’s problem is the larger problem of companies in our country: Nobody can afford to buy anything. Or rather, at all levels, budgets are tighter. :)
