I don’t understand why this wouldn’t be a clear violation of a plea agreement. She is basically witness tampering with herself. She’s completely destroying her credibility before the future trials where she is obligated to testify “truthfully.”. Please, please, @Teri_Kanefield, or someone, tell me how the law (and a judge) can be so broken as to allow that? cc @karoli.

@shoq If you don’t understand, then read the article. The article explains why this isn’t a clear violation of her plea agreement.

@shoq Then you stopped right before the part where they explained it. Literally the next five sentences.

    @MadisonMonkey @ned I worked at a toy store part time back in 1979 and young kids definitely gave multiple f&$ks about gender roles when adults weren’t around reinforcing them (which was most of the time, because parents would drop kids off & leave for multiple hours). What do you think changed?

    Remarkable how most of the major companies have the same AI business model, which is "how can I pay the least amount of money to humans to create an app that does a bad job replacing humans?"

    God forbid they pay a bunch of humans to build a good product that augments what other humans are doing.

    @maxkennerly But that’s not the problem the article identifies. Instead, it’s saying that companies spend too much on IT infrastructure, and can’t make it back with the usage fees they’re charging. The first example the article gives is a product that customers love, but, it says the per-month subscription fee isn’t enough to keep the infrastructure running.

    The events in Israel today represent an enormous failure of "military intelligence".

    @lauren As to the failure of intelligence, I seriously wonder about the sociological implications of the divisions within Israel when it comes to the military. Commanders are absent. Key people are picketing. It has to be having an impact on unit cohesion, on morale and on staffing.

    @RememberUsAlways In the years before the internet, someone would stand in the corner of the backyard at a barbecue and bellow, “The FCC should create standards for broadcast and cable news so great that syndicated ‘news opinion’ is relocated to radio or social media! And if they don’t, they’d be fined for broadcasting political opinion!!” And everyone would look up and say, “Oh, shut up Jimmy. That’s just unrealistic.”

    GOP Candidate Will Hurd: “Donald Trump is a loser”

    Of all the Republican candidates for president, former Congressman Will Hurd of Texas is one of the few who has been willing to speak out explicitly and unapologetically against Donald Trump. “If we're going to be the party of law and order, then we need to stand up for law and order,” says Hurd.

    @Free_Press So let me get this straight: “Of all the Republican candidates for president” he is “one of the few” who’s willing to do it? So what you’re saying is: Of all of them, he’s one of them. I will be sure to keep that in mind.
