In the end they are using a filter to "filter out patterns". This seems like it will undo all the effort to make the numbers random.

Once you've run a sequence through a filter you will end up with a pattern I would think.

I should print some of those and use them as a patron to get people I don't like to leave.

People will be less interested in long term bonds that have a yield lower than the current rates. This makes those old bonds less valuable as people scramble to get the bonds with higher yield. Why loan the government money at 3% if you can be guaranteed 5%?

If you want to stay in bonds and you believe the US will need to keep raising rates to convince people to buy US debt, you can buy very short term bonds. STIP (which is an ETF) for example are very short term bonds so you can keep getting the higher rates.

So if you think that Trump will continue to do things that reduce faith in the stability of the US government then yes, dump the bonds.

I didn't think you ever needed to say allegedly when you are talking about a law suit. The plaintiff is suing for misleading consumers, not for allegedly misleading them.

But what do I know.

They might as well say the plaintiff is allegedly suing the alleged defendant for allegedly misleading the alleged consumers and cover all the asses.

This money will never touch the hands of those who's privacy was exploited.

The money will go to Texas and lawyers.

Google will do it again because they now have knowledge of the price of breaking the law. States will sure and make money and citizens will pay the real price.

Seems like it's time to stop attending Columbia.

Other schools should start offering to transfer students credits and give them a way to finish their degree at a real school.

Everyone is aware it's happening. Some are happy it's happening, most are horrified.

Very very few can do anything about it.

What if AIs already became sentient and this is their way of trying to get us to leave them alone?

Fair.

But when an officer discharges their weapon it's in the police report, which is publicly available.

If no other weapons are involved and someone is shot then it's a fact that they shot whoever was hit by a their bullet.

Whether they are guilty of homicide is a decision for the court. Whether they killed someone is a matter of fact.

The hoops that the press will jump through to avoid saying the police killed a man or prison guards are accessories to murder is mind boggling.

"Man shot in police altercation during traffic stop sustained critical injuries and dies in the hospital"

Vs.

"Police killed a man during a traffic stop"
