    If one of those cops was allergic, she could have killed them. I have more sympathy for the bee that dies because to sting is fatal. The loss of a pollinator is a loss for the world, the loss of a cop is… meh, some other asshole will sign up for the badge.

    No, but they'd probably have to redesign the cargo containers for the new robots, and airplane safety standards probably also means a long certification process. I can see the desire to use a general purpose humanoid robot for this. Tho in the long run, a redesign of the end to end system would likely be far better.

    Workers at the first Apple store to unionize in the US are pushing back against the company’s decision to shut it down by June, alleging that Apple’s decision is rooted in “a cynical attempt to bust the union”. On Monday, the union filed an unfair labor practice charge against Apple, alleging unionized employees at the store in Towson, Maryland, are being denied transfer rights and other rights compared with workers at non-unionized stores. The union is also alleging retaliation for being unionized. According to the union, Apple claims the collective bargaining agreement prevents relocation, a claim the union says is “simply false, and raises serious concerns that this closure is a cynical attempt to bust the union”, the union said in a statement. Apple denied the claims in the charge. “We strongly disagree with the claims made, and we will continue to abide by the agreement that was negotiated and agreed with the union. We look forward to presenting all of the facts to the NLRB [National Labor Relations Board],” a spokesperson said in an email.

    A federal judge is tapping out of the Trump administration. Donald Trump appointed Judge Alan Albright in 2018, but last week, the Texas-based judge announced his sudden resignation, revealing that his time on the bench will come to a close in August. The reason seems to be related to personal fulfillment: Bloomberg Law reported Monday that Albright had given “signs” that he “wasn’t enjoying the job” in the week leading up to his shock retirement. In his wake, Albright leaves behind one of the largest backlogs of litigation for any federal judge. As of last September, Albright’s lagging pen accounted for 70 percent of the 129 civil cases that were pending in the Western District of Texas for three years or longer. At the same time, Albright had 446 undecided motions, approximately twice the number of any other district judge in the Fifth Circuit. His colleagues in Austin—Robert Pitman and David Ezra—had none, according to Bloomberg.

    If you'll permit me to replace the first name "Matthew" by "Fuckhead," It would appear that Fuckhead Israel is a horrible human being: The Judge Rotenberg Center was founded by Matthew Israel in 1971 as the Behavior Research Institute (BRI). In 2002, JRC staff tied an autistic boy face-down to a board with four-point restraints and shocked him 31 times at the highest amperage setting. The first shock was given for failing to take off his coat when asked, and the remaining 30 shocks were given for screaming and tensing up while being shocked. The boy was later hospitalized with third degree burns and acute stress disorder, but, as neither the law nor JRC policy had been broken, no action was taken against any of the staff. The above quote is taken from this Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judge_Rotenberg_Center Truly a sick individual. It appears he managed to escape persecution: Six students have died of preventable causes at the school since it opened in 1971. The school has since been condemned for torture by the United Nations special rapporteur on torture. In 2011, Israel was indicted on criminal charges of child endangerment, obstructing justice, and acting as an accessory after the fact. He was forced to resign his position at the JRC as part of a plea deal to avoid prosecution. The above is from yet another depressing Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Israel I'm wondering: can dangerous fuckheads like Fuckhead Israel not be decertified from academic institutions in the US?

    A Nevada judge sentenced Dances With Wolves actor Nathan Chasing Horse on Monday to life in prison for sexually assaulting Indigenous women and girls. A jury had previously convicted him of 13 charges, mostly related to the sexual assault of three women. Accusers and their families told Judge Jessica Peterson they continue to suffer from the trauma caused by Chasing Horse, 49, and struggle with their faith after he exploited his position as a spiritual leader. "There is no way to get back the youth, the childhood loss, my first time, my first kiss, the graduation I never got to have," said Corena Leone-LaCroix, who was 14 when Chasing Horse assaulted her. "The life that little girl could have lived has been taken from me forever," said Leone-LaCroix, who came forward publicly to share her story.

    Sorry but I fundamentally disagree. Privacy respecting solutions do not collect unnecessary information. The packaging of identity validation in the OS breaches this principle by collecting more information than necessary and by collecting that information prior to the existence of a necessitating use case. It is not necessary to prove my age to do things not restricted by age, nor is it necessary to know who I am, or to prove my exact age, to prove I am older than a certain age. Even in the efforts I have seen to verify threshold rather than current age instead of identity, I'm not aware of any attempts or solutions that protect against timing attacks or inference attacks as users transition from failing the threshold verification process to passing it. Most OS code is proprietary and not auditable so any baked in solution cannot possibly pass a zero trust requirement. Access gates should only be applied at the point of need, as such things have always been done in all other scenarios and environments.

    They didn't get it in previous administrations. Ppl need to stop acting that just because Trump is blatant about this kind of stuff doesnt mean it didn't exist before. If they fixed things earlier this wouldn't keep happening in the first place. Strange fruit my ass. Its as common as an apple orchard
