She’s being sued because while working for her they had sex. And then, like it always does, the affair came out.
That said the basis that allows the suit in NC is that she sent a few texts while he was there- neither Sinema nor the guy lives in NC. (And presumably? Neither does the guys ex wife.)
So there’s a good chance it’s a money grab or vindictiveness or something.
Imagine, a person follows you around. Tracks everything you do- they know when you go to the hardware store. Know what you buy.
They know when you go to the grocery store. Know what you buy there.
Target and Walmart too.
They all know your car. They know what you stop to look at before moving on. They know what you don’t stop but grab quickly.
This person knows what you look like, can recognize you just by how you walk, and knows when you’re speeding, they know how you drive.
They know when you go to the doctors.
They know when you go to planned parenthood.
They know your credit score. How much debt you have. How much you make, what hours you work.
They know everything about you, including the last time you had sex because you put an Amazon dot in your bedroom and they paid Amazon for that knowledge.
Imagine all that.
Now start asking what kinda stalking charges that person is guilty of.
Now realize they’re doing this to 350 million people.
But it’s okay because cops happen to be some other clients.
Fitt’s law being true or well known, and explaining why it works doesn’t mean they hired a behavioral psychologist.
This is like saying an architect hired physicist to explain why arches work; when everyone already knows that they work.
With the other UIs, like Mac’s next step and dock; they saw the same basic concept and had the ability to see real world feedback from that, no behavioral psychologist needed.
See my response to the other guy that said similar-
Everyone in the armed services are trained to kill. Not everyone is a trigger puller.
Even if all you’re doing is serving as a cook- that role is to support and enable others; and is part of the overall job of killing enemies of the state.
During our basic training we spent all of half a day at a range learning to shoot. Not exactly a ton of learning how to kill. Most people in the military aren't taught how to kill. There are far more people doing logistics work than doing the deadly stuff.
They just taught you to wing ‘em?
More to the point. Everyone in the military is taught to kill. Not everyone is taught to be the trigger puller.
At no point in history has the trigger puller, the spear-stabby-stab-guy, or the rocky-smash-smash-man ever gone to war without others fighting along side them- or indeed, people providing logistical support.
All of that is what allows a military to function.
The purpose of the armed services is to kill the enemies of the state. Ostensibly for the protection of the state’s citizens.
That is why you being deployed to a polling place would “disturb” people.
“I think my view is, what we have to do is articulate why this is in the best interest of the United States of America, and actually get out there and talk about the ways in which it is in the best interest of the United States of America.”
Please do. this should be entertaining. and embarrassing. (he's gotta earn his AIPAC slop, like a good little piggie)
The qbasic version we had was graphical in the sense of not being in dos like how nano works in the terminal today, but was not graphical in the sense of a mouse clicking things.
Granted I was like eight? So I could be miss remembering. Pretty sure the only interest I had was the gorilla game where you were chucking exploding bananas at each other.
Like you don’t need a behavioral psychologist to explain why people are going to prefer putting menunthingies out of the way.
Even back before a mouse, graphical applications (like q-basic) would place their menuthingies at the top, in a header. They had already established a pattern we still largely follow today- the most general menu category goes to the right, the most specific to the left.-
File is stuff relating to the document- opening, closing, savoring; document wide settings, etc, where help is… uh… extremely specific and almost never used.
So you already have this pattern in UC design; applications are already following it because it makes sense. So now, your devs need to place another menu bar somewhere, and they place it at the bottom, so it’d out of the way of everything else, and they follow the pattern.
Worse. Much. Worse.
