Not really. There's no real way to manipulate other traders and they all use algorithms too. It's people monitoring algorithms doing most of the trading. At best, AI would be slightly faster at noticing patterns and send a note to a person who tweaks the algorithm.

People who don't invest forget: there has to be someone else on the other side of your trade willing to buy/sell. Like how do you think AI could manipulate housing prices? That's just stocks, but slower.

But settling a dispute requires compensation for the party that was damaged. That's what a settlement is.

You can't say "If you don't do A, B, and C you can't sue me! Nah nah nah!" Without compensation courts are not going to believe that anyone knowingly agreed to the settlement.

Now if they gave everyone like $5 and said "Sign here where it says you can't sue," that would be different.

They're senators. They can literally call up the FTC (who should be investigating this) and complain. They can increase the FTCs budget as well. They can subpoena the head of Ticketmaster and ask them questions directly.

Well that was wild. I think the best thing to remember from this is that religion is not going to give you "advice" like a friend would. The Bible doesn't know whether you should get a different job. It's not logical, it's emotional.

If a loved one dies or you have to make a tough moral decision, that's where it can help. Same with any philosophy. You wouldn't ask Immanuel Kant some boring question, so why ask God? No He doesn't care about your football game. Sorry.

In Japan, women-only cars were introduced to combat lewd conduct, particularly groping (chikan).

People on the subway are quiet and respectful

This is the country with "women only" subway cars because there's so much sexual assault on the subway? You were a tourist. That's why they were polite to you.

In Singapore, minimum wage is based on your race (country of origin). For a domestic worker, they literally tell you to pay some people less money.

Please. The superior rigatoni looks down on your petty bickering.

Nitinol is an alloy of 60% nickel and 40% titanium (usually). It can be used in memory materials or to capture energy from heat. Basically it can be bent when it's below a certain temperature (like a regular metal) and it creates force to restore its shape when it's heated.

Yes, I did learn that by playing modded Factorio. Why do you ask?

You can't trust tiny random "self-hosted" Uber services. They could use any random drivers with criminal records, or even without drivers licenses. They could have terrible cars and charge extra fees. You would never be able to trust the driver ratings. They could tell you the car will arrive in 5 minutes for 30 minutes.

These are all the problems people had with small taxi companies. Why would you replicate that in an app?

I guess there's no onion powder, but the ingredients are pretty simple to taste.

The "secret spices" are salt, pepper, paprika, powdered garlic, powdered onion, and some other stuff. Cayenne in the spicy ones. It's not a secret. People didn't discover fried chicken yesterday.
