Can prisoners deny work placements? Like do they get any say in this? I'm guessing there would be some sort of retaliation which is why they accept them, that or there's a promise of a shorter sentance or something.

I thought the typo was going to be 'calm mediation' at first and just thought it would be lawyer ASMR.

That cat has a 1000 yard stare, it's been through some shit. I wonder if it'll keep doing the cat thing or if it'll be scared of boxes from now on.

Wouldn’t it be good to have the truth during investigations?

Well, yeah, but the mind is fallible. That's why eye witness testimony usually only gets a case so far, people tend to forget specifics and fill in the gaps without realizing they did.

In the gaming world, for example, MSI announced this year a monitor with a built-in NPU and the ability to quickly show League of Legends players when an enemy from outside of their field of view is arriving.

...So it just lets them cheat? I remember when monitor overlay crosshairs were controversial, this is insane to me.

Fun fact, even if you try to hold a breaker in the 'on' position, it would still trip the exact same way. Pretty smart design (to stop pretty dumb people killing themselves or others).

Great photo! If that were my cat, I'd have a metal print done of this and hung on my wall.

We had to tighten up security after the great maple syrup heist.

Greed is the reason, because they can. People need housing. Same way grocery stores are getting away with charging so much, people need food. The working market theoretically should fix this in time, but so far it isn't. New houses and competing grocery stores don't appear overnight. I fully agree with you, rentals have their place and there can be many benefits, but without proper oversight and rent control this was always going to be the outcome - squeeze as much cash out of people until you literally can't anymore. I don't think there is some secret collusion going on between landlords (at least in most cases), there's really no need. Just watch rental prices, then when the area average becomes higher than you charge for your unit, you raise yours slightly above that. By doing that you've now ever so slightly increased that area's average, now other landlords will raise their prices slighy higher, causing other landlords to raise their prices slightly higher, rinse and repeat. Note that I might be completely off the mark here but this lines up with my experiences at least.

If a consumer watches something on their Apple TV and then presses the pause button, a Roku TV set could use either audio or video-based content recognition technologies (known in the industry as ACR) to identify what’s being watched, match the current scene to a database and extract relevant information to pair an ad with it.

Wow somehow their idea is even worse than I imagined, glad I don't own a Roku now.
