The underlying phenomena could also be that "people who own dogs also have enough income to donate to charity" or "people looking into getting a dog also look for other causes that bring them happiness" etc. but usually there is not enough data to make any in-depth connections. Science press is usually mostly a joke; how many "breaking news on life on Mars" we have gotten and still, only evidence of very strong maybe to the side of "yes, there used to be bacteria here".

Profiling poorly isn't even a new concept: watch a comedy on "action channel" and you get ads for activity parks, cars, tools, hobbies. Now watch the same movie again in a family channel and you get ads for toys, sales at supermarkets, hygiene products, holiday resorts etc. And you most probably selected the channel because that time slot was more convenient for you, but the system does not care about one instance, when the expected trend is somewhere else. So yes, its a guessing game where all the individual numbers are meaningless but the trend is the thing.

On some TV channels all the ads ever would be online casino's, cars and alcohol, but the local laws here forbid alcohol ads entirely and online casinos can only advertise after 2200 in the evening.

Okay but isn't whiskey usually brown or yellow? Something to do with barrels or something? And that beverage is a very clear pink. Like the pink was added to a colourless beverage, not a brown one. A pink vodka would be fine, but a pink whisky is shenanigans.

Generally code enforcement is civil until your gently caress up kills someone. Then it may still be civil. The AHJ for this can vary a bit. I know the Office of the State Fire Marshall does some code enforcement in CA. I imagine local code enforcement departments might review it during permitting. It's also possible the University system is exempted but I doubt it's likely. So the local building code office and the Fire Marshall is your best bet.

I don't touch fire code very much, but NFRPA 101 does specify how many doors per people is required. 2 is the minimum. And the number goes up per X number of people. Someone here likely knows the fire code better and could say how many it is but it's more than 2.

I absolutely believe a lot of the advertising industry is analogous to how much of social media is grifters and bots following and "interacting" exclusively with other grifters and bots, hardly a single genuine human fan involved despite the appearance of thousands.

Insurance companies don't need a reason to deny a claim, that is something they do by default, given the choice. But they're obligated to cover your loss, whether or not the doors were locked or even closed.

What if you are, in fact, young? “Can I go to prison if I have sex with my girlfriend?” is a question that does concern teenagers in a number of places.

Of course, hardly any of those teenagers are libertarians. Hopefully.

This is definitely an underappreciated aspect of these "disruptive" app based services. I think most people, at this point, recognize that they're ignoring regulations and gig-ifying labor costs, but on top of that a ton of them aren't even concerned with making money. The business plan is literally

1. Burn through VC money to capture the market
2. ???
3. Profit
