There's not enough information in the article. For example has complaint actually been raised, because it's sort of sounds like she's just complained online about it but hasn't actually done anything official.

It also doesn't apply outside the US (there's a whole planet out there guys) so regardless of the nuance of its construction, it isn't relevant here anyway.

A local bar has banned them already with a sign that basically says "this ban is as much to prevent you from getting punched as anything else".

In theory they shouldn't be a problem because I think there's a little LED that lights up when the camera is on, but in practice people don't know that so assume the worst.

That's like the least offensive use of AI as well. I'm perfectly fine with voice transcription that's hardly even an AI

Not to defend the glasses because they're obviously a problem, but that's more an individual doctor issue than a problem with the product.

I'm just don't really find the Twitter experience to be all that much use. I was never a big Twitter user anyway.

So I've tried to this and it doesn't work.

I tried going to work for fun, but it wasn't and I suspect that if I leave early that won't be fun either.

All of that is correct however I am also currently watching my government fail to be able to construct a train station along an existing track. So far the process has been going on for about six years and no one has so much has dug a hole yet. It's barely even a construction project, they just need to pour some concrete into a rectangle and then add some stairs and call it a station. But apparently even that requires six years worth of committees.

If you're going to have a tattoo you should do something interesting with it and not just get some random Chinese symbols, or a butterfly.

If you're screwed up political system that's responsible. I'm pretty sure the US is the only country in the world where bribes are actually legal. Bribery is illegal even in Russia even if it isn't actually enforced but at least they don't pretend that what they're doing is right.

You won't move over to green energy even though it's more economically viable because of lobbyists.
You have private health care because of lobbyists.
Your food would be considered toxic by every other nation, but it's allowed because of lobbyists.

By all means shoot some health insurance CEOs nobody will shead the tear for them, but they are the symptom not the cause. If your country allows lobbying then don't be surprised that you get lobbyists.

They were on a different radio channel than the distress call

There is a particular frequency that distress calls go out on, you are required by maritime law to always be tuned into that channel. So to claim that you are innocent because you weren't tuned to the channel is like claiming that police didn't respond to a 999 call because the operator was using the line to talk to their friends. They are still basically admitting to breaking the law.

By the time they switched to the same radio channel, another vessel was already helping

Should they were not tuned into a illegally mandated frequency for a good while then. They still have questions to answer.

The fact that the vessel wasn't in immediate danger is irrelevant because they had no way to know that because they weren't listening to the distress frequency.

Fancy being a top economist and therefore being privy to knowledge that is beyond the capabilities of us mortals. We thought the AI was a profitable business, and it turns out it's a giant scam, who would have thought it?

When you reveal a spoiler the black rectangles go away and it then renders the text in white, but on a white background (light coloured theme) The text renders is exactly the same colour as the background and so you can not see it unless you highlight the post, this renders the background of the post as light grey and there is just about enough contrast difference to now read the text.

When spoiler text is revealed it should render in the same colour as normal text. I'm not sure why it's white.

See images below for demonstration.

spoiler text is hidden

spoiler text has been revealed but is invisible

text post is highlighted and now you can see the spoiler text rendered in white
