It's real weird that he became the ships baby sitter after his child bride ran away from him. Every scene with him and kids makes me uncomfortable.

I'm talking crazy long.
Sidenote, is your user name a DS9 reference?
Can't both be true? Per capita, aren't self driving cars causing fewer accidents than human drivers? I feel like it's possible that the accidents caused by self driving cars are dumber and more obviously and easily preventable by a human, and that there aren't enough safety nets and that they shouldn't be legal because of these reasons... but also... human drivers suck. In addition to people who shouldn't be driving in the first place (drunk, elderly, sleep deprived, etc.) there's a billion things that easily distract people that machines aren't susceptible to.
This feels like comparing car accidents to plane accidents. You're MUCH more likely to get in a car accident, but more people are afraid of flying, since every plane accident is newsworthy on an international scale and most car accidents (including fatal ones) are (sadly) commonplace and not always even covered by local news.
It's crazy how good phones are. I was sat here for an hour or so gathering a time lapse of the sun setting and then doing some long exposures of streaking taxi cab lights. The best single photo I got all day (the one that required the least amount of processing) was this one from my phone.
It's mostly the tripod that's killing me. I'm really into long exposure and timelapse stuff.
My version of this:
"Make sure to pack your tripod and camera and a couple of lenses that you'll decide are too much of a pain to haul around everyday, and therefor use them zero days."
This is all MSFT spin.
The studios mentioned don't all have enough funding to continue to be operational at their current burn rates. Those studios will be doing their own layoffs or may not survive at all.
Those studios account for under 30% of the 1600 jobs that MSFT is removing from their payroll today. As the day goes on there will be news that breaks of other studios under their banner that have layoffs which contribute to the total mentioned. It's likely that their individual stories will be lost under this initial announcement.
As someone unfamiliar with Air Force ranks, I tried to look up how big a deal the rank of major is. Is this something that is after a year or two in the service? A decade? Are there hundreds of majors in the Air Force? Thousands? Tens of thousands?
So the Yiddish word means someone who isn't Jewish. How is it used in those spaces?
This is my first encounter of a Donut Hole in the wild.

I hate how these are being used, both by Meta and by creeps.
I bought a pair of them after trying out a friends (back before they had any AI capability, and had not yet been hacked to dox people) because they're really good speakers and the exact same style of sunglasses that I've worn for 30 years. The first thing I did was disable the always on mic (which required me to log in to meta, which I had to make an account for using a burner email). The second thing I did was purchase lens covers so people could be confident I wasn't recording them. Finding covers that worked for the lens and not just the light was a pain because I apparently everyone is doing the opposite thing with these that I wanted to. Also, I wanted to make sure that the lens cover could be removed because I wanted to be able to retain the ability to make hands free first person videos (in places without other people). It's also super helpful for making footage of things that require you to use both hands.
I hope any future smart glasses (because there's no way this product is going to go away) don't just indicate when they are recording, but they make it obvious to others when they're in a state that they cannot be recording (video at least). A built in lens cover solves that. If I was to buy another pair of smart glasses (which I currently have no plans to do), it would be an absolute requirement that people around me understand that I'm not making video of them, doxxing them, or in any way using an image of them.
