how about instead you give me back the extra $25 I paid to the innocence project so you'd get your law-school cred for it. :clint:

(I already said I'm not gonna self-harm; I'm sure the media tweets about it will be sufficient to sate my sadism.)

wasn't evolv a scam for special health water that that one webcomic guy "hapajap" in the old politoons thread shilled for

no idea. I didn't see anything in the brief searching I did, but who knows.

they HAVE been in trouble before: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-68547574 It seems like they did the AI version of when medical device manufacturers claim their devices are "FDA-approved" when all they did was submit a form to the FDA that says "our device doesn't really do anything so it can't harm you, please let us sell it."

quote:

The company had said that its AI weapons scanner had been tested by the UK Government's National Protective Security Authority (NPSA)

On 20 February the company put out a press release, including a claim that the NPSA was one of a number of testers who had "concluded that the Evolv Express solution was highly effective at detecting firearms and many other types of weapons".

But BBC News can reveal the NPSA does not do this type of testing.

When BBC News put this to Evolv, the company said: "After discussion with NPSA, we updated the language used in the February 20 press release to better reflect the process taken."

Instead, it said: an independent company had "tested and validated" Evolv's technology, using NPSA standards.

But the UK company that did this testing, Metrix NDT, told BBC News it was "not correct to say we 'validated' the system".

Metrix NDT managing director Nick Fox told BBC News that Evolv's system had indeed been tested against NPSA specifications.

But when asked if Metrix NDT had found it "highly effective at detecting firearms and many other types of weapons", he said: "It is not within our remit to pass any value judgements on the results."

Yeah they probably won’t even give him the good drugs tonight either so it might be funny but I still don’t think I could stomach the self congratulatory let’s act like it’s the good old old days, while Obama faux roasts Biden and everyone knowingly chuckles and then he’s like but seriously, folks.

lol remember the 7 dudes sanctioned in israel

The United States sent a letter to the Israeli Finance Ministry earlier this week informing Jerusalem that the sanctions imposed by the Biden administration earlier this year against violent settlers were not intended to compel Israeli banks to close the accounts of targeted individuals, an Israeli official tells The Times of Israel.

HOAs are really good, actually

They’re always strictly better than local governments

quote:

An HOA is superior in its organization to local government. Almost all HOAs are instituted by the developer and agreed to by everyone who wishes to move there, so as to minimize transactions cost and the problems of free-riding mentioned above. Unlike local government, it wants to maximize the total value of the property, so it will not restrict the building of housing below what is optimal. On the contrary, it will restrain itself to providing the amenities and aesthetic preferences which people actually want. According to this study, people are willing to pay 13,000 dollars, or 4% more, to be in an otherwise identical property which is in an HOA. People have a great deal of choice in the housing market, and can choose non-HOA properties, or HOAs with different attributes, for every labor market in America. People simply prefer the HOAs. Nor is the charge that consumers are unaware of the behavior of HOAs until after they move in with any merit. Purchasing a home is one of the biggest decisions in a person’s life. It is not undertaken carelessly or frivolously. To the extent that people wish to know, they can choose to know.

The issue of HOAs teases out the difference between what I see as reasoned libertarians, and temperamental libertarians. Autonomy is valueless if you cannot agree to abrogate it — what good is a right to your body, if you cannot allow someone to cut you for surgery? What good is a right to property, if you cannot commit yourself to paying for anything in the future? A reasoned libertarianism allows people to do whatever they voluntarily agree to, even if we don’t like it, or wouldn’t choose to do it ourselves. By contrast, temperamental libertarianism is a reflexive opposition to authority of any kind, even if fairly earned. It opposes not coercion, but anyone being allowed to have power at all, and is a knee-jerk reaction to the forms of power.

I believe that people, when faced with a spectrum of options, will always choose the one they believe will make them best off. This does not always mean that they are right; but they are more likely to be right about their specific wants than anyone else could be. This includes even things you may dislike, such as homeowner’s associations. Because they are voluntary, they should be allowed, just as we allow any other sort of voluntary organization.

as far as I can tell, the school thing just started with the one leader's twitter username. they were mad about california school bond programs at the very start, but moved past that once they got a following for arguing on twitter with chapo listeners. people started copying the username format and hanging out in groupchats together and before you know it you've got... whatever this is
