Kiwi diners have mixed feelings on replacing human service with technology, with many preferring face-to-face interaction. Those 46 and older showed negativity towards QR code and app-based ordering, with half 18-to-35-year-olds neutral on the topic. Restaurant Association president Mike Egan says many diners prefer the tactile experience of using a menu they don't have to scroll through. He also explained there were other issues that could impact workers as well - as kitchens could be slammed if diners ordered during peak times.

On the weekly Chipped Ham & Football podcast, host Adam Bittner welcomes Ed Bouchette, former Steelers insider for the Post-Gazette and a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, to react to the team's 2024 season and where it goes from here. Is Mike Tomlin closer to a messy exit like Chuck Noll? Or a Super Bowl-winning revival like Bill Cowher? How would Dan Rooney have handled the team's current playoff wins drought differently than son Art Rooney II as owner, if at all? And is Tomlin's long tenure more about loyalty? Or belief in doing business the way ownership would like to? Ed tackles those questions, then weighs in on roster issues. Why does he prefer Justin Fields over Russell Wilson or outside options at quarterback? What are his feelings about WR George Pickens and whether GM Omar Khan should explore trading him this offseason? Is it time to break up the defensive core of Cam Heyward, T.J. Watt and Minkah Fitzpatrick? And why does Ed like Joey Porter Jr. and Keeanu Benton as young players who can grow into bigger roles? Then our duo wraps the show with some Hall of Fame talk with a focus on Hines Ward and James Harrison.

The co-founder of Microsoft, Bill Gates, quietly dispensed approximately $50 million in support of a group favoring Kamala Harris, despite withholding any public endorsement for the Vice President, as per some sources. Future Forward USA Action, the entity on the receiving end of Gates' munificence, asserts that the technocrat's patronage was meant to remain confidential. It is suggested that Gates harbored anxiety over the possibility of Trump winning over Harris in the November race. When probed for comments on his financial backing, Gates preferred to elucidatively express: 'I back those candidates who manifest a palpable dedication towards enhancing healthcare scenarios, allaying poverty levels, and combating climate change, domestically and globally.' Preferring not to delve head-on into the specifics of the donation, Gates emphasized his sustained practice of collaborating with leaders spanning the political gamut. However, he didn't refrain from underscoring the distinctive importance of the current election for the Americans, as well as the world's most susceptible populations.

Ruth Schimel, 84, has original ways to make the most of life's possibilities. An author of over 70 published articles and seven books, she was previously a diplomat/foreign service officer at the Department of State. She has also taught at four universities. With her mother, Ruth created the Schimel Lode to promote collaboration and innovation in the DC area.In her 40's, Ruth designed an inside-out approach to career and life management that transcended narrow labeling of her clients. Preferring to honor their complexity using adventure and good judgment, she continues to provide the tools and experiences to help clients access and keep developing their true selves independently. As a child, Ruth and her family were isolated by a flood for four days. She learned first-hand the power of uncontrolled water. That experience makes her involvement with efforts to mitigate climate change reality based. Finding ways to transcend isolation during the pandemic, Ruth and her long-time friend and colleague, Shari, developed a process for using art to generate engaging conversation, deeper relationships and visual intelligence. Their mashups of juxtaposed paintings with poetry became recordings to share online to benefit others' explorations and insights."Becoming courageous is a process accessible to most people to step into the life they want."Her PhD research on courage, international experience, work with a range of clients and continuing curiosity are catalysts for her own growth and her work assisting others. Ruth knows that becoming courageous involves “the willingness to realize your true capacities by going through discomfort, fear, anxiety or suffering and taking wholehearted, responsible action.” It is a process accessible to most people.CONNECT WITH RUTH:Website: https://www.ruthschimel.com/Website: https://artingconversations.com/Website: https://www.theschimellode.net/Books: https://www.ruthschimel.com/books/

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Humanity isn't remotely longtermist, so arguments for AGI x-risk should focus on the near term, published by Seth Herd on August 13, 2024 on LessWrong. Toby Ord recently published a nice piece On the Value of Advancing Progress about mathematical projections of far-future outcomes given different rates of progress and risk levels. The problem with that and many arguments for caution is that people usually barely care about possibilities even twenty years out. We could talk about sharp discounting curves in decision-making studies, and how that makes sense given evolutionary pressures in tribal environments. But I think this is pretty obvious from talking to people and watching our political and economic practices. Utilitarianism is a nicely self-consistent value system. Utilitarianism pretty clearly implies longtermism. Most people don't care that much about logical consistency,[1] so they are happily non-utilitarian and non-longtermist in a variety of ways. Many arguments for AGI safety are longtermist, or at least long-term, so they're not going to work well for most of humanity. This is a fairly obvious, but worth-keeping-in-mind point. One non-obvious lemma of this observation is that much skepticism about AGI x-risk is probably based on skepticism about AGI happening soon. This doesn't explain all skepticism, but it's a significant factor worth addressing. When people dig into their logic, that's often a central point. They start out saying "AGI wouldn't kill humans" then over the course of a conversation it turns out that they feel that way primarily because they don't think real AGI will happen in their lifetimes. Any discussion of AGI x-risks isn't productive, because they just don't care about it. The obvious counterpoint is "You're pretty sure it won't happen soon? I didn't know you were an expert in AI or cognition!" Please don't say this - nothing convinces your opponents to cling to their positions beyond all logic like calling them stupid.[2] Something like "well, a lot of people with the most relevant expertise think it will happen pretty soon. A bunch more think it will take longer. So I just assume I don't know which is right, and it might very well happen pretty soon". It looks to me like discussing whether AGI might threaten humans is pretty pointless if the person is still assuming it's not going to happen for a long time. Once you're past that, it might make sense to actually talk about why you think AGI would be risky for humans.[3] 1. ^ This is an aside, but you'll probably find that utilitarianism isn't that much more logical than other value systems anyway. Preferring what your brain wants you to prefer, while avoiding drastic inconsistency, has practical advantages over values that are more consistent but that clash with your felt emotions. So let's not assume humanity isn't utilitarian just because it's stupid. 2. ^ Making sure any discussions you have about x-risk are pleasant for all involved is probably actually the most important strategy. I strongly suspect that personal affinity weighs more heavily than logic on average, even for fairly intellectual people. (Rationalists are a special case; I think we're resistant but not immune to motivated reasoning). So making a few points in a pleasant way, then moving on to other topics they like is probably way better than making the perfect logical argument while even slightly irritating them. 3. ^ From there you might be having the actual discussion on why AGI might threaten humans. Here are some things I've seen be convincing. People seem to often think "okay fine it might happen soon, but surely AI smarter than us still won't have free will and make its own goals". From there you could point out that it needs goals to be useful, and if it misunderstands those goals even slightly, it might be...

As the world untangles itself from the aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic, there is important healing work to be done.

From earning her degree in government and politics, Jackee moved into youth and community work, where the quality of listening she received from a supervisor altered her perspective on her own career.Preferring to describe herself as “a human who gets to be on purpose” than as a coach, Jackee's work is currently focused on the therapeutic benefits of journaling and expressive writing. This work has taken her into her zone of genius, and she describes the remarkable changes that manifest when we are in alignment with our work.Jackee opens up about her journey to becoming a successful author, leadership coach and coach supervisor, reflecting on the hardships and the breakthroughs that shaped her remarkable life and career.In this episode, Jackee and host Ruth Saville also talk about:· How journaling can be harnessed as a growth process· Moving into coaching without throwing out your old career· How to skilfully navigate how you show up in the world without losing your sense of identity· Ways to amplify the work you do in your own time: your personal reading, learning and podcast consumptionJackee also generously shares advice and guidance to anyone interested in becoming a trauma-informed coach, and suggests key reading that can act as a springboard into this work.
Tommye McClure Scanlin had a choice. To make the images she wanted to create with weaving, she could either pursue complex forms of weaving that rely on dobby, jacquard, and draw-loom technology—or she could go the other way and place every color and pick by hand using tapestry techniques and a very simple loom. Preferring a drawing pencil to a calculator, she made the choice that now seems inevitable and dove headlong into tapestry. She speaks of herself modestly as a “picture-maker,” but Tommye's imagery reveals the richness of her surroundings. She has lived most of her life in the Southern Appalachian region of North Georgia, and her artwork delves deeply into the natural world that surrounds her. Her woven work comprises many leaves and plants as well as feathers, seeds, and stones. The restrained subject matter is all the better to play with a variety of styles and perspectives. In addition to her main artistic works, Tommye explores creativity through formal restrictions: using the roll of a die to direct her next color, or challenging herself to add an installment each day in a woven diary. The woven diary project has developed into not only a series of beautiful records spanning more than a decade but also her latest book. Marking Time with Fabric and Thread : Calendars, Diaries, and Journals within Your Fiber Craft describes the daily textile practice of not only weavers but also quilters, embroiderers, and other fiber artists. Tommye's first steps in fiber art came as an art teacher, and she went on to establish the fiber arts program at the University of North Georgia. Now retired from her academic career, she has taught at programs such as the John C. Campbell Folk School, Arrowmont, and Penland. Besides teaching in person, she writes articles and books on tapestry techniques and design principles.

During a recent press briefing in Italy, US President was seen on a narrow line with the press over a query that unsettled him. This incident happened during his combined press conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Angered by the question's departure from the intended topic, Biden urged the reporters to adhere more strictly to the proceedings. Preferring to focus on the urging Ukrainian matters, the President appeared frustrated at the deviation from the agenda. Biden rebuked, 'You're sidelining the issue at hand. I'll get around to your query in depth later.' It was apparent that Biden's priority was the situation in Ukraine and not elaborating on other topics. We have set forth an agreement. Our plan has garnered backing from the United Nations Security Council, the G7 nations, Israel, underlining its credibility,” he emphasized. Most notably, he addressed the resistance from Hamas, failing to approve even though they have proposed a similar solution. The actualization of this problematic scenario is yet to be seen. We are persistently pushing for progress. Regrettably, I don't have a final verdict yet,' concluded the President. Interestingly, these firm remarks were not taken lightly by the journalists present at the venue. Kelly O'Donnell, the president of the White House Correspondents' Association, retorted to the President, addressing the fundamental tenets of a free press. She maintained that it's essential to underline the public's right to information and clear knowledge about proceedings, regardless of the setting of the press interview. No leader has the authority to dictate the nature or number of questions asked at a press address. While it is within the White House's powers to control the count of reporters that the President answers, the question's subject matter falls within the ethical judgment of professional journalists, O'Donnell underscored. Despite any leader's preferences, the questions posed by reporters should not be constrained to a single topic. A truly independent press should enjoy the ability to ask questions across a spectrum of topics, she stated. O'Donnell expressed the need for more such inclusive interactions with the President, instead of narrow, monothematic proceedings. Biden's strain with the press isn't news. An occasion in December underlines his tendency to lose his composure amidst a flurry of questions. During another press session with Zelensky, cable news journalists threw barrage questions, taken aback; the president couldn't hold his peace. After having an extensive dialogue with Zelensky, the journalists present began posing their inquiries to both leaders. Biden, taken off guard by the volume and the range of questions, asked them to quiet down. Varied questions perturbed him, prompting him to say, 'Hold on! Slow down! I have something else to say.' The President, while juggling a stack of papers, added, 'I have another point to make.' He announced a substantial defense budget allocation for Ukraine while sharing a quiet moment with Zelensky, 'An additional $200 million has been allocated from the Department of Defense for Ukraine,' he stated. Biden communicated the urgency of this budget allocation by adding, 'This will be enacted promptly.' Ever so enthusiastic to support Ukraine, he exchanged nods with Zelensky. Once Zelensky uttered his gratitude, reporters once again bombarded them with questions, a testament to the feverish nature of these press conferences. On another occasion after a short campaign event in Philadelphia where he was rallying the black voters, the President found himself at odds with another reporter who posed an unsettling question about potential power transition. 'President Biden, do you intend to complete your term, or will you be passing the baton to VP Harris?' a journalist asked. As he engaged with his audience on a runway in Philadelphia, the question struck him as absurd, leading to a sarcastic, dismissive response, 'Are you okay? Have you injured yourself? Have you fallen and hurt your head?' he asked in disbelief. Recently, Biden and Harris initiated an outreach endeavor to attract black voters who are seemingly leaning towards former President Donald Trump, as suggested by some polls. It is noteworthy that a number of these voters have voiced their frustrations with the Biden-Harris leadership, citing financial strain. These voters argue their financial conditions have worsened under Biden and Harris's watch. Furthermore, they express discontent with the lax immigration policies and weaker border security under the current administration. This has been met with stiff criticism from local Democratic leaders as resources are being reallocated away from citizen-centric programs towards the support of illegal immigrants. After seeing these series of events, it indicates that Biden's rapport with reporters needs mending, keeping in mind preserving the independence of our free press. While his focus on pressing matters is appreciated, an understanding of the complex and critical role of journalists at these press conferences is of paramount importance as well.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this special episode of RVing with Joe & Kait, I had the pleasure of sitting down with my mom to reminisce about our incredible "Summer with Mom" family road trip.

Coming from a family of divers made it natural for Ben McCallum to earn his first certification and eventually find himself in a professional role. Preferring the fun side, he took a step back and combined his love of diving with his love of photography.

As I talk to tattooists all over the 408, many names consistently come up whom I have not interviewed. But one in particular came up for often than any of them: Klem. Preferring to go by his last name, Klem has been tattooing for over 30 years. Born and raised in South San Jose, Klem started tattooing at 22 and hasn't stopped. In this episode, he takes us through his time at his first two tattoo shops: San Jose's own Pinup Parlor and Marks of Art. If you'd like to book an appointment with Klem, email klem1891@gmail.com Klem's origin playlist --- Show Support: Rate and Review: Love Tattoo 408?
