Hmm. When my boyfriend drove under a toll camera in my car, I called to explain that I wasn't the one driving at the time. The lady on the line asked if the vehicle was stolen, when I said no, she said I had to pay the fine and if I didn't, I may not be able to register my vehicle. Naturally, I paid the fine.
We have some precedent with red light cameras and the like repeatedly being held up. Courts are equipped to handle bad actors and if that becomes an actual problem, they're not going to just shrug if someone has 25 speeding violations that they're not paying. I could see this working once or twice, but if you're driving past that camera every day, it'll be a good idea to start obeying the law sooner rather than later.
Theoretically, it might cause drivers to drive more unpredictably, but I'd expect that those are typically rear-end colissions as drivers slam their brakes to try to avoid a ticket. Those are the safest type of traffic incident and I'd happily trade a pedestrian getting hit for a couple rear-endings.
There is world PvP. With the world population being so low, and the world size being so large it's pretty rare. There's also a lot of ways to avoid it, but whenever you're outside your own base it's always a risk. If you play smart, it's almost always possible to get away from a player, even if they're very highly geared. Most clans are pretty insular, a group of friends who have been playing for a long time. I've never joined a clan, personally, so I have no idea what they're like.
Haven and Hearth is a slow base building MMO. You build up skill points exploring and finding new items, spend the skill points to unlock more stuff, build a base and start upgrading your stuff from there. It's honestly really cool.
And no, seeing how cluster ammunition is practically used, russian civilians are not going to disproportionately harmed. It’s going to be military targets which will be fucked up.
The issue with cluster munitions isn't how they're used, but what happens when a bomblet fails. Cluster bombs release hundreds to thousands of submunitions, and when one bomblet fails, it can remain armed and ready to detonate if/when someone comes by and bumps it, picks it up or runs over it with a tractor.
This can lead to issues long after the war is finished, as people are doing their own thing and get hurt or killed.
If a platform is only usable by someone of average tech savviness, then its reach is limited to half the population. This would be extremely limiting for a mass market product. As such, platforms cater to the least savvy 20% or lower.
The daughter plead guilty, scheduled to Jul 20th for sentencing. The mother is going to trial on the 14th. If convicted, she'll get another sentencing hearing.
As a 70-qubit quantum computer, it's not going to be doing many helpful calculations. The benchmark used is random circuit sampling, which is doing a bunch of random quantum operations, and then reading the result, and it is compared to a supercomputer simulating the various random operations. This algorithm isn't useful outside of benchmarking.
This also makes Sycamore a particularly ineffective "weapon" considering that we don't really use encryption that's less than 1024 bits, which is well outside of the capability of our current quantum computers.
It's a 70-qubit quantum computer. It doesn't have enough memory to break even rudimentary 128-bit encryption.
The algorithm that it executed was also not Shor's algorithm (the one that could potentially break encryption). The benchmark used is called random circuit sampling, which is just doing a bunch of random quantum operations between pairs of qubits and then reading the output. It's one of the fastest quantum speedups of any known algorithm.
This. As much I would like someone to really change things for the better, I could absolutely see laws like the ones passed in Florida and Texas being passed nationally if elections go poorly.
Careful, you only capitalize prepositions of three letters or shorter by default. Though different style guides might say otherwise: Chicago style doesn't capitalize any prepositions, while MLA doesn't capitalize any words 3 letters or fewer (which presumably could lead to the odd lowercase "i"). And AP doesn't capitalize any words 3 letters or fewer unless they happen to be verbs.
Everyone has their own definition of love. For me it's about what you say: A close friend that you trust. And that's exactly who my boyfriend is. He's my best friend, I help him out, he helps me out and we both trust each other. Occasionally we have sex, but that's not a huge fixture of our relationship, it's fun for 15 minutes every week, but that's around 0.5% of our total time together. Hanging out and playing games and doing chores is the other 99.5% of our lives together.
Then it becomes a competition not in who can provide the best service to customers, but in who is able to look the best to the boss. If that means being fast and efficient, and not minding if you step on customers' toes, then the customer experience will falter. If that means talking about other employees' mistakes behind their back, then the workplace culture can become acidic.
