I feel ya. Mentioned that Windows doesn’t actually shut down when you press the “shutdown” button to a friend a few days ago, we were talking about best cleaning practices and he just looked at me like I was stupid. I elected to just drop the topic instead of explaining the whole Fast Startup mess.
The absolute ridicule! I’m sorry, but I might not survive this! How could this come to be?!
Partly. A feed is typically a set of rules showing you only your interests and filtering out everything else, and within this subset you then go about choosing.
Ideally we would not only have “women\men\bi” categories, but also “orthodox (cis only)\regular(mixed)\frisky(trans only)” categories. Otherwise, we might run into the problems which Saltesc describes, now that being trans is becoming more commonplace.
There needs to be space for everybody (or “everybody whom I don’t mind” depending on who you ask, sad lol), but while choices always have some consequences, we need to be careful that our freedom of choice doesn’t become another’s choice of freedom. I think trans people are (sadly) very well acquainted with this.
I’ve heard of people who have complained about trans people showing up in their dating feed, mixed in with the cis population, being labelled as “transphobes” and harassed, but good to know that we’ve overcome that.
I’m with you here, Neptune’s definition seems to overspecify the extract from Oxford they presented.
If we boil stereotyping down to its core components, then it appears to simply be an instance of correlation using subjective and non-complete data: “This individual exerts traits a, b, and c, which means they are highly likely to also exert traits x, y, and z.”
Or: “This individual is operating a car (unique trait/type of person), therefore their visibility and attention capacity are likely reduced or under strain (overgeneralization as driving might come natural to them, and fixed as I might assume that no one is a natural).”
^This is, of course, an oversimplification, as I’m going purely by Neptune’s words and my own understanding, and have not looked up additional sources.
“Some kind of infrasound waves”
Haven’t read the article yet so please excuse my ignorance, but wouldn’t driving the pillars for the foundation into the sediment produce infrasound? And once the turbine is running, it’s hard to imagine such a large device to not cause any kind of sub 20Hz vibrations. After all, you can usually hear and sometimes feel them when standing close by the mills on land. (Edit: or, you’re really only hearing the ripples propagating along the infrasound wave, or “woosh”, of the blades passing the tower. The time-1 between two “whoosh”-es being the frequency of this particular infrasound wave.)
Though, whether the infrasound is loud enough to be a problem is questionable.
One could see it as a bad thing as the AI is lying on two occasions, and that the letter was sent in bad faith (laziness, automated ads, perhaps even passing off others’ content as your own/wording).
In extension, or rather because of the two first points, one could call this a “scam for Tim’s time”.
The scam in OPs post might just be worse than regular scams, not because it is dangerous, but because it makes us lose trust in others. How hard would it be if you actually happened to be a Nigerian prince who wants to share his wealth? Well, now smaller developers can finally find out!
I had quite some beef with the tethered caps in the beginning when they didn’t latch properly, but have since gotten used to them. That said:
- Cap on top -> Funny hat for nose!
- Cap on bottom -> Beard gets to take a moist nap.
- Cap on sides -> Mustache also gets to take a sip!
Obviously not much of a problem. I’d need to clean my facial hair either way if eating ice cream or other messy foods, but cap rotation might not be effective if your “face” sticks out 1-2cm from your mouth.
One could also attempt to rotate the cap in a way to achieve quantum tunneling, but I don’t feel that I’ve achieved that level of “tethered cap proficiency” yet.
When was this written, in the 1980’s?
