Powermods took over reddit a long time ago. Hell, I'd go so far as to say reddit secretly promoted r/the_donald and other extremist subreddits, and had a direct hand in getting him elected.
Crimes require proof beyond reasonable doubt, unfortunately all we have here is a balance of probabilities. In other words, it is more likely he did it than not, but it isn't certain.
Yes, but I've heard theories and read studies in the past that suggest the differences in sexuality change over time, also. Like, studies have documented that women can go back and forth from being gay and straight, while men might go gay later in life but never change back. Supposedly there is some mental rewiring that goes on alongside this, however not as something that has been quantifiably measured, only qualitatively observed.
I think this AI processing could be a useful tool in further analysis against this and other hypotheses, but I worry that given the emotionally charged discussions around transgender nature the results will be far too easily misconstrued.
Height is pretty consistent. You grow until adolescence, then maybe you shrink a bit later in life. Men are generally taller than women, but only on average. That doesn't really have anything to do with neurology.
Class actions need to be made. Not just against AI, but Facebook, Google, Microsoft, banks... Basically anyone who collects data for profit while slipping it in as a secondary transaction in the terms and conditions, without providing any consideration.
The data brokerage industry is a $400bn industry, yet there are only 8bn people in the world. Even if we assume everyone is online and everyone's data is of equal value (both are far from true), that means an individual's data is worth at least $50 per year on the market. These are just people buying and selling data, and does not include companies that keep proprietary datasets and only sell advertising, or the value of peoples' written works online (which is likely of even greater value). Businesses are now selling off our copyrighted work for far less than its worth, all the while not paying the creator their rightful dues.
It simply isn't the case that data is traded for access to the website or service. That isn't how the transaction is presented. Front and centre, the services are offered free of charge (or sometimes, eg with Microsoft, you already pay for the service) and then a second transaction is buried in the fine print in obscure language. The entire purpose of this is deception, so the user does not understand the value they are giving up, and so as to deny them a fair opportunity to assess any supposed value exchange - because it isn't an exchange, you're giving it up for free, just like they give you access for free. It's two separate transactions deceptively run parallel.
You can't build a car without paying for the nuts and bolts. They steal the nuts and bolts we produce and then sell them on as their own products.
Edit: weird formatting issues from posting with low signal.
Ohhhh, I thought for a moment he literally paid $230k for a hooker. Like, that's what it would take to get someone to suck him off. You're talking about the bribe after.
It says a lot that the first thing is still kinda believable, though.
Poor wording on my part, the immediate fascist takeover they planned was avoided. Then, when people in the US learned of Nazi atrocities and the US was drawn into the war, their efforts were curtailed long term. However you're right in saying they were never fully killed off.
Wikipedia has more than enough money. It still needs support and protecting, but the servers have sufficient funding for the foreseeable future.
Let's just hope they don't do a reddit and waste that excess of funding on exorbitant pay for executives, who then undermine the core principles that created that income. Jimmy Wales isn't likely to do that, he already made enough money in softcore porn during the early days of the internet (which he then used to start Wikipedia).
Now, do you know the syntax to run anything on it? That was my problem with my BBC Micro XD
Also you need to be very careful working inside the monitor, particularly as you've run it recently. There are some beefy capacitors in there that store a potentially fatal charge.
I’m sorry you can’t stand it be so, but that’s literally how language works.
I think you wooshed on my joke about the definition of "literally".
the incredibly petty baby inside me upon reading your initial comment wanted to invent a dish called Sheperds Pie (spelling intentional because I’m a jerk) with steak to fuck with prescriptivists.
I'm all for that! The difference is you know you're doing it wrong and are choosing to do that, rather than just saying the wrong thing.
Yeah I have no problem with it being a common term, I just feel the need to point out it's wrong hah. People say wrong things all the time colloquially, but they know it's wrong.
Calling a cottage pie a shepherd's pie is worse though, along with calling a wind turbine a windmill.
Definitely, though it depends on the type of accident. She was hit from behind, so if it was a relatively slow speed collision near a traffic light or junction or something you'd probably be right.
Fair enough, I'm still highly skeptical of this study. I haven't read the full paper, but if they're replacing salt weight for weight I don't think it's much good replacing it with 2/3 NaCl.
Really, we need to ween people off added salt altogether. We don't need any extra salt, food has enough of it already, and having it in processed food is more about marketing and exploiting addiction than anything else.
Almost all of them extend from an action that still holds true:
Roll down windows - you still get manually operated windows, and the motor rolls in electric ones.
Dial phones - the verb has a separate definition to the noun.
Use a clicker - not sure what you mean here, but things do still click.
Write on computers - a piece of writing can be typed or hand-written. It's about making a marking on a surface.
Blackboards/chalkboards/whiteboards - the first two are generally wrong, whiteboard is the only one that would apply to a digital surface.
I'll throw in another one:
Windmill - they're not windmills, they don't mill anything. They're wind turbines.
Some of these terms stem from marketing people, who are only a couple steps down from estate agents in terms of the evil they bring into the world. This should not be celebrated.
Many of these can be considered acceptable, even in the ways that they're wrong, but it's still acknowledged that they are wrong. With biscuits, people think they're right.
Biscuits are established because people were wrong. That doesn't mean people today are right.
Your example of plumb and level doesn't work, because plumb is still considered the correct term for vertical alignment. People will generally know what you mean when you say level, but the other term is still considered more correct.
"Biscuits" are nice, but they're not really biscuits, they're savoury scones. Meanwhile, most store bought long shelf life cookies are biscuits, in spite of being sweet, while fresh cookies are generally not. Similarly, tomatoes are fruits, not vegetables.
You can say it the wrong way all you want, but when it goes against the core definition it can never truly be right. I literally can't stand it being so.
