No time is universal because time moves at different speeds under different gravity. The point of this initiative is to be able to accurately measure time in the moon’s lower gravity.

Part 1

Part 2

Unfortunately, it’s much worse than that

It’s like Hogwarts houses for non-transphobes

This implies that Harry Potter is for transphobes and I refuse to let JKR being a big ol POS take away Harry Potter from me. Death of the author exists for a reason.

Yeah calling a woman a bitch just oozes extra sexism that calling a man that doesn’t. That’s definitely in slur territory as far as I am concerned.

I saw a headline today about Trump (in private) calling Kamala Harris a bitch and someone referred to it as a slur (presumably against women). Since there’s not an exact equivalent for men, but bastard is usually the “equivalent” male-aimed curse word, I was wondering when we would see someone on beehaw arguing that “bastard” is a slur, but against the children of unmarried parents.

Bastard is only a slur against a person born to unmarried parents if being born to unmarried parents is considered wrong. In older times, this WAS seen as wrong, because sex outside of marriage, and raising a child outside of a traditional family unit, was seen as wrong.

Bastard lost its ‘slur’ edge a long time ago. Trying to call it a slur is assigning “wrongness” to the state of being born to unmarried parents.

Words change meaning over time. Calling someone “queer” used to be an insult (now it can be used as hate speech but I can also say “Oh my friend Lucy? She’s queer.” without it being hateful). For that matter, queer didn’t always have sexual implications (it meant weird) — I feel like trying to call bastard a slur is the same as trying to say “queer” is a slur against the neurodivergent.

You cut off the second part of that sentence. The scam isn’t doing the work from a different location, the scam is that they’re using the money to fund North Korea. This isn’t “Kim gets a job online” it’s “Kim is a state actor that is a security risk at any moment and meanwhile causing KnowBe4 to send money to a sanctioned country.”

Oh, it’s on a smart dimmer already. The placement in the room relative to where I sleep/lie in bed makes it super annoying even at low light, so I’d rather just replace the full thing with something more useful or at least nicer looking.

That’s so cool! Also, CT represent!

Basically, yes. Each of the 650 constituencies votes in a single member of parliament, even if they don’t get 50% of the vote, just more votes than anyone else. So if you have 3 constituencies that all vote 40% Labour, 35% Conservative, and 25% Lib Dem, you will get 3 Labour MPs, even though if it were proportional, you shpuld get at least 1 Conservative MP (sorry Lib Dems, too small a sample to let you have one too)

The register providing contrast to the AWS infrastructure build out:

The Register is aware of government agencies building on-prem private clouds – sometimes on open source platforms – so they can scour code to soothe their security worries.

That’s just a local data center, guys. Like how everything was done before “the cloud” became a buzzword.

Citing an internal investigation, the Chinese ByteDance-owned app said its systems correctly identified the breach, but the ads were approved due to “human error” by a moderator.

This makes it so much worse. If it were “our algorithms didn’t catch it” that’d be one thing, but “our algorithms caught it but we ran them anyway” reeks of malice.

The least terrible option is not invading…

Sure but on a human scale?

There’s a great Veritasium video recently about this exact thing: https://youtu.be/d6iQrh2TK98

It’s a human thing, though. This is just more evidence of LLM’s problem with garbage in, garbage out: it’s human biases being present in a system that people want to claim doesn’t have them.

Holy crap this site is absolutely unbearable without an ad blocker.

Seriously though Mohdi, if you don’t want people to be suspicious about you arresting your political opponents then you probably shouldn’t make a fuss when people are concerned. “Normal criminal arrest here, nothing to see” is much less guilty than calling in a diplomat to yell “How dare you question me!” at them.

Yeah, it just replaces the cert files and reload/restarts nginx for me. I don’t want it anywhere near my config files.

Microsoft has been trying to be more proactive about this: they changed all their documentation to say Entra ID instead of Azure Active Directory…before actually changing Azure AD to be called Entra ID…

I’m surprised it’s both this early and this late. The fact that he came in second in Iowa and then dropped out before New Hampshire is baffling.

The Volkswagen e-Golf was literally just an electric GTI hatchback but they discontinued it…
