That has to be illegal right? It’s so obvious what they are doing. Buying insurance companies then forcing the customers to use their other product. And the “customer” didn’t really have a choice of what insurance to get because their company chooses for them.
I worked in a few skyscraper type offices and they are pretty awesome. The view was always crazy and there were always good food options nearby right in the middle of the city. You could make a nice house in there. Just need the bathroom and kitchen to be near the center of the building. You could probably fit 4 nice size units on each floor of my old building. But they would want to make a ton of tiny overpriced ones instead so they will say there isn’t enough plumbing lol.

Justice is not a term I would associate with that man it’s so weird it’s allowed to be his title. We should take it away from him already because he is disgracing the highest court. How are there no laws against that? And since there are none people will need to take action in some other way. That’s asking for trouble. What the hell kind of system is this?
I never ask it things I don’t know. I don’t think that’s really what’s it’s useful for. It’s really good at combining words though. So it can write a better sentence than I could. Better in a sense that it’s easier for others to understand what my thoughts are if I feed them in as input. Since they were my thoughts originally I can spot the bullshit pretty fast.
A New York judge sentenced a woman who pleaded guilty to fatally shoving an 87-year-old Broadway singing coach onto a Manhattan sidewalk to six months more in prison than the eight years that had been previously reached in a plea deal.

It sounds to me like they are developing some tools to help map things inside the store. So they can give you directions to things you are looking for maybe. Also with this information they could do something similar to those Amazon stores where you just pick things up and walk out and it charges you automatically.
Not saying you all want to share the info with them. It is invasive. But as an engineer I can see so many cool features I could build with this information.

I guess that should have been the only focus. All I remember is that before he took office we couldn’t leave our houses and people were dying from COVID like crazy. It’s not Biden’s fault that wages haven’t increased with inflation since before I was born. Sure he could probably do more but I don’t see anyone else jumping up to help in any meaningful way either. No one will even primary him and his major opponent is just litigating things from 3 years ago to save his ego and or freedom. I don’t see anyone else stepping up from a position of power.
Having worked on all 3 of those I prefer python. I think C# is a much better Java alternative though. But it would depend on the project of course. Something like Python of JavaScript is nice for faster development. That’s my jam lol.
As for it sucking ass. Idk about that but it may be a cool feature to try out

If I remember correctly he asked them first and wasn’t just in their room naked. They just felt they couldn’t say no because he was in a position of power.
Although I think this is a little different because it involves children who may think they know what they are doing but don’t fully understand yet. So a little different
Loading animations on websites and some apps that give you a percentage and messages about what’s going on are usually faked with animations. The frontend for things like that usually just puts fake messages and animations because it’s not easy to track the stages of complex steps happening on the backend. It’s possible in some cases but I don’t think I have ever seen a real working version of a loader like that in my 15 years of experience.
