<p>Wouldn't the proverbial reasonable person jump out of the way of a vehicle that's already nearly on the verge of colliding with them? Pulling out a gun seems to be the less instinctual thing to do in such a situation.<p>I also wonder if they'll ever find out who screamed "F*ing B*tch" at her in that moment.</p>

<p>He shot while only being a few feet away from the car, which had already started to drive off.<p>Why would a trained officer believe that shooting at the driver from only a few feet away would have a higher chance of improving his chances against being hit by the car (which was already well in motion), than trying to physically move out of its way? That makes no sense.</p>

<p>For the record, I totally agree that you should have this ability.<p>But they are likely orienting themselves with GDPR and similar laws around the world, under which data exports and portability only include your own data, and specifically exclude that of other "data subjects".<p>This is one of the few areas where I think that GDPR may be too strict.</p>

<p>I wonder how they'd handle this under the GDPR, which has an explicit "Right to rectification".<p>The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her.<p>Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject shall have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.<p><a href="https://gdpr-info.eu/art-16-gdpr/" rel="nofollow">https://gdpr-info.eu/art-16-gdpr/</a><p>Obviously if you change your email address, the old one ceases to be correct, even if it was correct before.</p>

<p>Raffles are meant to increase engagement and participation, and getting conference participants to interact with prize sponsors and remain until the closing remarks. If employers started to demand that any prizes won be considered property of the company instead of the person who won, participants would likely start paying less attention and probably skip raffle activities altogether.</p>

<p>I welcome the initiative. At the same time, there probably needs to be some kind of "freedom of panorama" exception to take and use pictures where someone's likeness just happens to be featured incidentally/in the background, like pictures of tourist attractions, public events, urban photography etc.<p>Otherwise everyday photography in public spaces would become legally risky or impractical, especially in crowded areas where avoiding all faces is nearly impossible and where the focus clearly isn't on the individuals but the landmark or scene itself.</p>

<p>Airlines have hugely benefited from moving travelers from paper tickets to the use of their phones, where everything is done in the airline's app. Even if a few flights get turned around now and then, that seems trivial compared to the benefits:<p>- No need to print/distribute physical tickets<p>- Check-ins via the app reduces the need for ground personnel<p>- They can push inflight menus, shopping items, promotions etc.<p>- Flight updates and other notifications can get pushed to your device<p>- Integration of loyalty systems like airmiles<p>- They get to track various user behaviors</p>

<p>That's true, but those safeguards can be disabled. ChatGPT on Azure for example, allows Azure account managers to disable filters/safeguards depending on the customer.<p>Given that this product is apparently used to give people with disabilities a voice, that should definitely qualify. Yes of course they should be able to swear, just like everyone else.</p>

<p>Interesting approach.

<p>Aren't puberty blockers primarily meant to prevent children with gender dysphoria from experiencing the physical disadvantages of going through the puberty of the wrong sex? Obviously a study where children are given the puberty blockers won't be able to measure the impact of all the harmful effects that were prevented (neither physical nor mental health-wise).<p>The way the article is worded, it almost sounds like they were expecting them to work like mood enhancers. I mean, it's somewhat interesting that there were different outcomes in both studies, but it doesn't speak in any way against the use of puberty blockers.</p>

<p>It's not just about the potential effects on the stock market.<p>Allowing insider trading would also incentivize leaders to make business decisions that primarily serve their personal interests, rather than their company's. They would prioritize decisions that create short-term changes in the company’s stock price, just so they can profit from trading on that information.</p>
