NYC has approximately several million more students than the city of Zurich.

And several million more immigrants than the entire country of Switzerland.


PER CAPITA, come on now

That's irrelevant. Scale matters when you're discussing costs because costs increase nonlinearly.

That's only true if the picture was specifically commissioned by the company.

If it's a stock image or a licensed image, they need a license to alter the original image.


Google has a history of doing account wide bans. If after more than a decade of complaints they have finally figured out service specific bans they need to tell people that.

This is why lawyers have been getting in trouble using AI to review case law or (worse) to generate documents.

It creates citations and references that look close enough to be plausible but are just made up of thin air. CA passed a law explicitly requiring lawyers to review AI-generated documents that is now before the governor for signing (previously, lawyers were ethically expected to review documents submitted to the court or provided to clients but that doesn't have the same level of force as an explicit requirement).


Even worse than lawyers is the government doing it: https://newrepublic.com/post/215001/judge-rfk-jr-hhs-fake-ai...

LA and NY are both border cities that accept millions more immigrants than the red cities that do all the complaining.

Today I learned on the Internet that Tylenol is more dangerous than meth, cocaine, or fentanyl.

Wait, no I didn't. That's absurd. Tylenol can cause long term health issues if used in excess (or death, for extreme overdoses), but most illegal drugs are illegal because they can cause immediate death even at normal usage amounts.


> but most illegal drugs are illegal because they can cause immediate death even at normal usage amounts.

Huh. The amount used on the street is not a "normal usage amount". Most fentanyl deaths are due to the fact that the medical usage amount is not something you can generally measure with your dealer's scale or the scale you bought at the local head shop (we, as paramedics, would typically administer 50-100 micrograms, and for anything more than 300 we needed to consult with a physician).

In those use cases, properly dosed, fentanyl is an exceptional, powerful, and short-lived, analgesic.

When people die from fentanyl ODs they're taking dozens, hundreds, or more, than the "normal usage amounts".


You would have had a better point if you didn't include cocaine which is only really dangerous for people with severe heart problems or by using it in combination with depressive drugs that it temporarily suppresses.

If cocaine was really a problem then C-suites and politicians would be regularly dieing.


Meth used to be available over the counter in pharmacies in the US.

No drug I'm aware of causes immediate death in normal usage, except perhaps those used for lethal injection. Would you like to elaborate on that? Tylenol, on the other hand, causes an unpreventable (no antidote) slow drawn out death over about a week, where your body will be slowly decaying and you have time to say goodbye to all your loved ones, if you take a few times the normal dose by mistake


Unless Congress passes a law so SCOTUS doesn't have to.

Congress doesn't need to pass a new law. Federal gambling laws were not removed from the books when Congress created the CFTC because they did not intend for gambling transactions to be regulated by the CFTC. (Federal gambling laws were not struck down until 2018, by SCOTUS, on First Amendment grounds. Yes, the decision was written by one of the justices known to have accepted gifts from companies doing business before the Court.)


It's not clever at all.

Congress didn't eliminate the federal prohibition on sports gambling when they created the CFTC. Ergo, it is clear that Congress did not intend for sports gambling transactions to be within the jurisdiction of the CFTC.

The only clever thing they did was putting members of the Trump family on their board.


$25 is difficult to manage even in California, with millions of customers. I can't see how its economically feasible in Alaska.

The CEOs at my current job, last job, and previous job were all my height or shorter, and I'm several inches below 6ft.

Challenge them to a measuring and take your rightful place at the top table.

It's a sign your in line to be the next CEO
