We went through the immigration process under K-1, then adjusted status to a permanent resident. No lawyer. Many people have done this and there is information out there how to do it, but it can be outdated, especially in the current era. There wasn't a great "here's the overall workflow" back when we did it, and their probably isn't now either.

The forms have instructions, and if you read carefully (together with all reference documents) it isn't too difficult. But I'm a contract guy, most people likely will have difficulty. It would be nice for them to have an official place to ask questions and have all the relevant forms and instructions considered together.

For a more "routine" example, the forms to apply for or renew a passport for a minor are a huge pain. Not all the required documents needed to be brought to an appointment (minor passports must be applied for in person) are listed in one list as of late last year. You have to go deeper into the state department website than you probably should have to. They should just fix all forms which are confusing or have incomplete instructions, but having generative AI assist the user is probably a lot faster to implement.

Sigh. I'll bite.

The question seemed to assume it was a good question, and its premises were correct. They aren't. In fact, the CO2 DOES absorb incoming IR, and with the same cross-section, as it does outgoing IR. It doesn't "know which way the radiation is going."

Now, any honest thinker would realize that the question was silly, because it doesn't admit other mechanisms other than "blocking" [sic] of IR.

if McD put near that much effort into their app, I might go there more often. Even as much as once a month! As is, the app is high friction, it's easier to go inside or through the drivethrough.

Think just a half-thought further, and question one of your assumptions. THEN you might have a point.

They're never going to catch up with Trump, no matter how hard they try.

See, that's the thing. Cities often have easement and right-of-way authority, if not ownership.A city can build-out whatever they want, and rent it to whomever.

But that interferes with the cable and telco's revenue streams. Loma Linda California tried it and was fought hard.

The vendors also objected. If you make zillions of dollars selling fiber to telcos, and telcos don't want pesky municipalities getting in their way, the fiber companies will ally with the telcos. Telcos don't want to fight with two thousand municipalities, they want to do one big bribe/campaign contribution to just a handful of people that they can write the legislation for. Makes it easier.

Monopoly isn't the right word; the right word is: Cabal.

and probably copyrighted it. Composed it. Maybe edited it. Laid it out on page. Perhaps illustrated it. Did the work.

Needs to get paid.

It's like Harlan Ellison said: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3F...

NOT sucked up into an engine.

NOT guided by an "editor" with dubious values.

NOT enhanced by some well-intentioned silicon spew.

Real people. Real work. Getting paid.

Publishers are looking for revenue. Distribution sources, electronic, print, and secondary markets look for their revenue.

Copyright holders, who may not be any of the above (See Author's Guild for litigation models) are another source of "injured parties".

There then becomes the motivation of content creators, authors, writers, researchers, and others who look at their work output becoming sucked in without compensation-- and this might be the biggest part of the problem.

If creators and researchers/etc stop generating source material, the entire food chain stops, and the quality of output to the ultimate consumer, us, becomes mightily stanched, a foot on the garden hose of knowledge.

Correct.

Incorrect.

Perhaps the app could be extended to FlockOff, another privacy rapist, now that the code and EMBEDDED PASSWORD has been hacked.

It's not stealing if you take a little bit from a large number of people.

OMG!!! Ponies!!!

apparently, Samsung's foldables (at least not the first gen) do not wear over time at the folding point. I was surprised, but a friend of mine has been using one for over three years now.

And.... look what pile of crap they scraped, distilled, and the output will be... crap.

Sure, this is about income, but little of this stuff works, even now.

Despite exhortations that New Advances Are Made Every Day and Look AI Employment Is Actually Up!, it's still highly-paid marketing people babbling BS about the power and integrity of their advancements.

Let the Chinese scrape! More is better! Why? It's like the old game of Telephone. The further away from cogent source material, the worse it will inevitably be. Rinse, repeat, and you'll need to rinse a LOT.

Must be amazing living in a place where unexpected traffic accidents never cause delays.
