that’s a good thing.

you can’t sign away your statutory rights (eg to report a crime), and such an agreement can’t legally override legislation. Irrespective of any payout or agreement, if a crime was committed police can investigate and the state can prosecute. I suspect a …

cool story. That’s several thousand dollars per year back from the power companies? Or do they deduct from your power bill?

It’s unlikely that any AI has a copy of the book scanned yet. Which means it’s scraping the internet for data patterns to form into opinion. If you are using that particular AI a lot, know that it is trained to give you information you want to hear and it …

The title wasn’t released until the launch last night. For obvious reasons. My guess is that this meant it wasn’t on websites etc. I see it’s now for sale on multiple websites.

What healthlines are you talking about? Healthline is a triage services that tells people to go to their local GP or afterhours clinic. Bad luck if you don’t have one. Hence the policy of loans to GPs to set up in practice. This is a very very good policy …
