Investigators found that the company collected geolocation data without consent for over a year. They're double-double sorry
And I'm even more sorry to keep using that joke with Timmie's, but there you go.

Hit'em with a 2-by-4.
For non-Canadians, that's one of their coffees with double cream and quadruple sugar. Or is it the other way around? Either way, the sugar makes it gross.
For East Ponders, a 2-by-4 also refers to the most common size of lumber used by home builders.

We still use "four-b-two" downunder. For some reason, "be" not "by" rolls off the tongue easier.

Making it even more fun, a 2 by 4 isn't really 2 by 4. It's more like 1.75 by 3.75. Inches by the way. I do not know why we are being cheated like that. Been that way for as long as I've been aware some 50 years.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

That's similar to the difference between a US Survey acre of land (43,560 sq. ft.) and a "builder's acre" (40,000 sq. ft.), which is about 10% of the US Survey acre. They use the builder's acre in real estate listings, so you're not getting the acreage they advertised.

Because people used to buy rough cut 2x4's from the saw mill and run them through joiners to smooth out the edges by shaving some off. So when the lumber yards started selling smooth boards directly, they did the same thing. Started with a rough cut and shaved it down to the same size consumers were typically doing.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Artificial intelligence is a common part of everyday life now; it plays a role in everything from shopping suggestions, to entertainment mediums like video games, to the production of art pieces... and it's also pretty easy to argue that AI is still in its infancy.

What scares me more is the lack of sentience in 99% of the population and 100% of government officials.

Because it's always been done that way and because they're too lazy to independently assess candidates' skills other than to ask dumb-ass questions during interviews.
