AI can be very useful, the problem here is humans trusting it to be accurate all the time.

In this case it should be used to narrow down results, but even then the police need to do their job. They need to do an actual investigation to gather evidence that they have the right person before even attempting to make am arrest.

Even removing AI from the picture entirely doesn’t solve this problem. Just look at wrongful arrests that have been made simply because a wanted criminal has the exact same name as someone else.

In most cases, it’s a slam dunk win unless things went really wrong. (say a pandemic)

I think people are severely overestimating how much of an impact being an incumbent actually has with the final results. In smaller elections this definitely has a big impact, but in the entirety of the US history we’ve only had 27 presidents run for reelection, and 9 of them have lost.

That’s a ~67% win rate for incumbent presidents, which isn’t terrible, but isn’t great either, and with a terrible sample size.

I’d rather have “star” or “approval” voting, but I’ll take ranked choice voting over what we’ve currently got.

I think the consequences will be different for every case and based on what was done.

This ruling is a major step forward so that cases can actually be brought against corrupt politicians who are abusing their power in this way.

In this case, Sylvia was falsely accused, arrested, and then the charges were dropped a day later.

That’s different when compared to Trump where he went through the court system and was found guilty on all counts.

Link to the court’s opinion, if anyone is interested in reading through it:

So, roughly a radius of ~415 Miles (667km).

Hold up… there is a staircase going upstairs behind the couch!

Yeah, that shark was definitely trying to eat that turtle…

Anyway, the top comment from YouTube is useful:

They put two different clips together. The original is that the turtle was saved from being eaten by the tiger shark, and then after they released the turtle miles away from the shark, the turtle swam down, grabbed a jellyfish or something to eat, and brought it back up to try and “share” his snack with his rescuer. It was adorable. And they showed the entire thing from start to finish in that one, showing it was the same turtle, and the same man right after the rescue.

As long as they bring some whiskey and rye

Well, it won’t be easy for Florida to go hang with Hawaii and California.

They’re gonna have to build a wall to keep the water out!

I thought I read something earlier today that mentioned that the current deal is that the hostages be returned and then Israel will pull out it’s troops.

Hamas wants to alter it so that they release a few hostages, then Israel pulls out, and then they release the rest of the hostages.

It sounds like Israel had already agreed to that deal so isn’t this in Hamas’ ball park to accept or not?

Then again it sounds like every time the deal is altered, the other side wants to male new changes,

As Blinken mentioned in a different article:

“At some point in a negotiation, and this has gone back and forth for a long time, you get to a point where if one side continues to change its demands, including making demands and insisting on changes for things that it already accepted, you have to question whether they’re proceeding in good faith or not.” https://apnews.com/article/israel-palestinians-hamas-war-ceasefire-negotiations-ab6925549d8f523a6e5c61e88e7eec8a

Has anyone actually published the entire deal (at any stage) in its entirety so that everyone can see what is being debated?

Corporations are big into lobbying. “Studies” like this help them to convince lawmakers to make decisions that benefit them.

In this case, they might not be able to easily lower minimum wage, but they can say that it’s been a burden and try to get a break in other ways.

Edit in response to the edited comment above:
Poe’s Law, should have included a “/s” at least. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe’s_law

Somewhat similar, this might be a fun thread to ask if anyone has experienced Synesthesia:

I’m on board with some sort of age cap, but it shouldn’t be a specific age/number cutoff.

That number should be dynamic and change according to some other metric like the average life expectancy of someone in that country. Maybe something like 90-95% of the life expectancy of the country?

At least that way we can provide another incentive for politicians to push forward legislation that will help increase the overall life expectancy of the nation as a whole.

It also helps when the ears are angled in a way that makes it look like a unicorn.

I read through way too many articles that failed to mention this important detail.

Sometimes tar just comes up naturally from underground and ends up in the ocean.

This is especially common if they’re talking about “tar patties the size of a sand dollar”.

Edit: Looks like this is actually ‘asphalt’ that comes up naturally. For those who haven’t heard of this phenomenon before: https://tarpits.org/experience-tar-pits/la-brea-tar-pits-and-han*removed*-park

It occurs throughout the world in a number of different locations. I’m not saying that this is what’s happening here, but it’s definitely a possibility, especially when people describe “tar patties the size of a sand dollar”.
