Yeah the sticker sentence especially. That's essentially the same as saying that the kid got the shot. HIPAA doesn't say "it's ok to reveal private health information as long as you do it in a wink-wink manner." Revealing personally identifiable health information is forbidden no matter how you do it.

The leading hypothesis is that the moon was formed when a massive asteroid smashed into the earth and blasted a huge chunk of the earth into space, and that became the moon. If true then the moon's birth and younger existence was wildly cataclysmic

Aside from "ai" it was just as possible 5 years ago. There have been algorithmic random music generators around for at least a decade, and click bots have been around since at least the 90s

It sucks that mercator became the standard map. I know basically nothing about maps, but i know how not-great mercator is. Of the little i know about cartography I like Winkel Tripel the best

This isn't a revocation of a perpetual license. This is about broadcom not offering their support services any more. ATT still has the perpetual license to use the software they bought

Nonsense. I live in nyc and use my bike to get around to a lot of places. You basically can't get a city more dense and mixed commercial-residential than New York

True, but the important thing is that the CEOs made an unimaginable amount of money /s

Because there are enough people who are selfish, short sighted, or disinterested, and an enormous number of things in society require coordination, long term thinking, and decisions made every single hour of every single day.
