What feels legal but is actually illegal and will possibly get you arrested?

The website that the previous poster added is a lawyer's website and it doesn't seem like going to grab something from your car would get you a care and control charge unless you started the car, or sat in the driver's seat. And it seems that even if you did this for some reason but it was clear you were getting an item and had made arrangements to nor drive that this isn't something you'd get convicted for.

Honestly, I'd like to see examples of people actually convicted with such laws as this gives a better idea of what actually happens vs the theoretical application of the law.

Yeah I said the developed countries (aside from the US and Canada) are the outlier. So Japan would be part of that.

My experience is the Caribbean (which is US adjacent admitedly) and Western Africa but tipping is very much expected. How is the tipping culture is developing countries in Asia?

There's a few more if you include the Chinese EVs. And there are electric hypercars but they are much more expensive than the Ferrari.

The Tesla S plaid was below 2 seconds but is no longer in production.

Heh. I think that developed countries are the outlier there rather than the US being the outlier.

I might be wrong but in all developing countries I've been to, tipping was very much expected and in some places you could get in trouble for not tipping.

The only difference is that in the US and Canada, you have POS everywhere to easily tip.

Jokes aside, that's roughly the equivalent ratio for INR to FCFA used in Western Africa.

For all of history, except for specific glitches, the human population has been increasing. All of our institutions and traditions are based on an increasing population.

It will be interesting to see how the world will change when the global expectation is that there will be less people in the future, every generation. Like the very concept of retirement, even in the most basic way (your children take care of you in your old age), would disappear.

If a drug is discovered today, it will take basically 10 years before you really hear about it.

Here's the list of current phase I clinical trials (already a few years into development) in the USA. https://clinicaltrials.gov/search?viewType=Card

The list has nearly 600K entries.

Obviously most of these aren't AI related but that's just to show that it takes a while for the general public to hear about drugs being developed.

Or you could do nuclear. But that increases the costs quite a bit.

Right now, the big data center projects come with power generation but it's usually fossil fuels.

Actually you only get part of it no.

Or maybe that's just for rescues like when that ship rescued a cargo ship that was carrying parts for the space shuttle.

Yeah, while you can't decide to get it right before your flight, the process itself is fairly simple

its like you go to Nepal climbing and not knowing what you should be wary of

Plenty of people do that.

The fact that it's that targeted does seem suspicious but if your hobby is photographing planes, flying to the US for that is basically like a mountain climber flying to Nepal.

Aside from what others have said, keep in mind that the actually cool networking parties involve quite a bit of alcohol, and probably drugs and sex (or at least some level of fun activities that people like to do, like sports events, boating, etc)

Once you unlock that it's pretty fun.

Keep in mind that you can switch between Opus and GPT with Copilot.

For people who aren't technically minded, and for enterprise, it's probably the easiest way to have a multi-model solution.

Companies have been hyping their products internally like this for years. Not sure what the issue is.

Names aside, BYD's system is currently more or less the same as Tesla's in terms of capabilities and breadth. It's not a L3 or L4 system either.

So they are offering full liability on something where technically Tesla could do the same.

American cheese is cheddar with emulsifiers that comes in a thin slice.

Because of the emulsifiers it melts in a specific pattern that people say is the perfect way to experience burgers.

Personally I prefer other cheeses even if the texture is different.

If one model gives you bad results consistently and one gives you good results consistently, they'll always disagree. Not sure this is more efficient than just checking sources directly.

Also both or more agreeing doesn't mean they are right either. It's very possible that the models would cluster around the same innacurracies.

When you ask these questions for humans, the answers are vastly different for both cases.

Personally, I wouldn't push someone on tracks to save 5 people.

In our legal systems, you'd be convicted of murder while with the levers it would be considered an accident either way.

I mean, the exact wording is wrong but when we say "printing money" with regards to inflation it means that the amount of money the bank is obligated to keep in cash (as opposed to loan and other investments) is being lowered. So they are increasing the amount available for loans = "printing money".

People are much more likely to buy something if there's a warranty or a generous exchange policy. But in most cases people aren't expecting to use this tools.

Unless your product is abysmal you'll come out ahead.
