As a hydrocarbon enthusiast, I'm going to have to say it's not really optional.

Squirm.

Mister Beardsley!?

I don't see how her choice to decline the invitation would affect her career. Not going seems like a non-issue that will barely even enter public discourse.

If she had gone and protested, she might have been dropped by her label (I don't know how progressive Island Records is). Even then, the "no such thing as bad press" axiom might have worked in her favor. It seems like her fan base is pretty fervent, meaning she would likely be attractive to another label.

The plaintiffs say that failing to list the individual proposed changes to the charter did not give the public sufficient notice of what might be discussed or put on the ballot, thus violating the Open Meetings Act.

Well, this is the first I'm hearing about any of it, so that at least seems plausible. Where is everyone getting their local election information from these days? I usually check vote411.org when I know an election is coming up, but they don't have anything for November's election yet.

Edit: spelling

That assumes you can unplug it. Most devices I own have the camera built right into the device, and it can sometimes be hard to find an option that doesn't include it. I have a Webcam cover on my desktop and laptop.

I haven't seen one that would work for my phone, but if someone has hacked my phone, I probably have bigger issues.

KnowBe4 has an article about their experience.

They also covered at least one other instance in the US.

So, if I grab an item off the shelf and browse around the store for a while, is the price going to be the price currently displayed or the price when I grabbed it?

If it's the current price, what's the point of a price tag? If I can't actually know the price until checkout, then showing me the price is kind of a useless bit of data. I also suspect that the "speak to a manager" types would make that a major headache for stores.

If it's the price when I grabbed it, how are they keeping track of that? I see two ways of handling that: one requires that you use their app to shop, and the other requires cameras and "machine vision" that are still unreliable, at best. The former seems more likely, but I doubt either is going to sit well with customers.

Edit: someone pointed out that it might not actually display a price, and you'd have to scan it to get your price. Kind of like the first option, but I think it's going to turn off less tech savvy customers.

I haven't seen that aspect addressed in any articles about the "feature".

I'm choosing to see the horn as it's upper lip, and it's actually having the best time.

Thanks! It's surprisingly difficult to get Germans to correct me on things. Most of them are just happy that I can speak it at all, so they tell me not to worry about the little stuff. 😂
