“You'd be surprised at how much time I spend educating my colleagues about the fact that the biggest risks of AI are not the creation of an army of evil robots with red laser eyes taking over the world,” said Rep. Jay Obernolte, R-Calif.

INCOMING HOT TAKE - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

The federal minimum wage should be set to equal the following:

[MinWage = (R x 3)/H/W]

Where:
R = Average Rent
H = Federally Defined Full-time Hours (40)
W = Average Weeks per Month (4)

Why?

Because landlords require you to show that you earn 3 times the rent before they will even consider your rental application. This formula would ensure that anyone working a full-time job (or two part-time jobs) could afford to pay rent in the smallest possible sized apartment.

In my area, the average rent is $1,400 for a studio/efficiency apartment.

[(1400x3)/40/4 = $28.13/hr.]

I got an e-mail from Apple today; Upgrade to macOS Ventura. With a link how to upgrade. And the compatiblity list told me what I knew - my machine is not supported for Ventura. So, does it mean Apple knows my OS but not machine model? Else the mail should have encouraged me to buy a new machine also, not only tell me the great (?) things I will not get. Anyway, my upgrade path is likely to Linux Mint instead! #Apple #macOS #LinuxMint #Linux #WalkingToLinux

Ten years ago, Congress was told of a data broker selling a list of "rape sufferers." No laws have reformed the practice since - and, in some ways, the health-data trade has gotten worse.

"They’re building inferences and scores and categorizations from patterns in your life, your actions, where you go, what you eat — and what are we supposed to do, not live?"
