From what OP described she was trespassing.
If, while I am asleep, my cat knocks over a glass of water onto a hardwood floor, and then a burglar breaks into my house and slips on the puddle of water, should they sue me because I didn't have a wet floor sign?

Reply to [EU] Dumbledore is called away by an apocalyptic emergency. In order to keep Hogwarts safe, he casts a spell that will summon the ideal person to run the school in his absence and protect it. What he didn't expect was that it would be one Ron Swanson... by superanth
I have never written any kind of script before and this is definitely not how you do it but here it goes.
HOGWARTS EXTERIOR - DAY
We see the hogwarts courtyard as students go about their business. Pan up to see Ron Swanson on a balcony overlooking the courtyard.
>Ron Swanson (Voice Over)
>
>I don't really know where I am or how I got here. I'm not really sure what this place is other than it's a school, and I appear to be in charge.
CUT TO SUBURBAN HOME INTERIOR - NIGHT
Ron Swanson is asleep on a chair in his living room.
>Ron Swanson (Voice Over)
>
>All I remember was drinking what a lesser man might call an obscene amount of alcohol, but what I would call moderation. I then fell asleep watching a re-run of This Old House.
Ron Swanson Vanishes from the room in a flash of light.
CUT TO HOGWARTS OFFICE - DAY
We see Ron Swanson in a close up shot sitting in the headmaster's chair speaking directly to the camera.
>Ron Swanson
>
>Next thing I knew I was in this office. All I can say for sure is that I like it here.
Ron Smiles
>Cont.
>
>I mean these people really know how to run a school. We're talking strict discipline. We had one kid try to sneak out at night to go to some restricted section of the library. I told him as punishment that he had to go deep into what these people call the "Dark Forest". I was sure some of the other faculty would be pissed.
CUT TO EDGE OF FOREST - NIGHT
We see a lone student walk into the forest holding a lantern.
>Ron Swanson (Voice Over)
>
>Turns out that was the normal punishment for sneaking out at night.
RETURN TO OFFICE
Ron swanson laughs giddily.
CUT TO POTIONS CLASSROOM
In a classroom full of students sitting at cauldrons. Professor Snape can be seen holding a student by the hair and yelling in their ear while the rest of the students stare at a large hole in the floor where a desk used to be.
The camera zooms into the background to see Ron Swanson holding a steaming coffee mug standing in the doorway looking approvingly at professor snape.
CUT TO CONFERENCE ROOM
The various teachers and faculty of hogwarts sit around a large table with Ron Swanson at the head.
>Ron Swanson
>
>From what I've learned this school is funded by your government. Is that correct?
​
>Professor Flitwick
>
>That's correct.
​
>Ron
>
>Excellent, we're going to need to cut our spending as much as possible. We'll start with the kitchen. I mean do we really need all these oversized bi-pedal naked mole rats making the food? Surely the kids can figure it out on their own.
​
>Professor McGonagall (Shocked)
>
>Those are house elfs Mr. Swanson. We don't pay them.
​
>Ron (Happily)
>
>Really? Excellent. Next let's move on to living spaces. We don't need these four separate living spaces. I say we give the kids some blankets and have them sleep in the dining hall. That way we can rent out the empty rooms to people who will pay for them. Capitalism at it's finest.
​
All except Ron look at each other concerned.
​
>Ron (Serious)
>
>Now how much are you charging for medical services.
​
CUT TO HOGWARTS OFFICE - DAY
We see ron sitting in the headmaster's chair looking directly at the camera.
>Ron
>
>It's going pretty well so far.

Reply to A study shows that patients with the most serious health issues who thought that continuing the treatment would result in destitution only had an estimated 24% chance of continuing treatment, while those thinking paying fees would not negatively affect their financial situations had a 95% likelihood by nmhhg8
That's crazy that's it's that high though. I would expect it to be a lot lower.

Reply to comment by ThenaJuno in The internet has become essentially 5 giants sites all sharing screen shots of each other and not much else. by DominosFan4Life69
The best way to use the internet is to use it to get information from quality sources.
Online articles with no sources from dime a dozen websites are not quality sources.
Oh and just a quick pro tip. If you are looking for information about when a show or movie comes out, any article that has the words "release date" in the title do not have the release date in the article. At best they will be making a poorly educated guess.

>When AI is developed or used in ways that don’t adequately take into account existing inequities or is used to make decisions for which it is inappropriate, we see real-life harms such as biased, harmful predictions leading to the wrongful arrest of Black people, jobs unfairly denied to women, and disparate targeting of children of color for removal from their families.
Basically. Machine learning tries to fit the trends of the data. Data someone has collected from the world. The world is racist. So the models tend to come out racist. Essentially this is saying that models being bigoted shouldn't be taken as a validation of and justification for bigotry.

Well for starters, the lady was trespassing on private property, and she was stealing stuff.
You don't have to make sure your private property is safe for burglars to use.
