…and likely has better compatibility with more Windows games, which are most games.
Microsoft has the existing expertise and access to source to build a very effective and basically seamless compatibility layer, akin to how 32-bit apps run on x64 windows using WoW64 (Windows on Windows 64). I guess the real question is if it will be running real windows with an Xbox compatibility layer or a version of the Xbox modified windows with a regular windows compatibility layer.
It’s interesting that you concluded with “this must be an exceptionally violent case” and not “culture is shifting enough that explicitly calling these cases ‘rape’ is becoming more acceptable.”
Cynicism. Well founded cynicism. Though if this is the beginning of a trend and not a one-off I’ll be happy to see it.
Two charges. Two sentences. Be surprised if she gets even 5 years in actual prison.
I mean, it’s much more often called “a romp” or “an affair” when it’s a female predator and a young male victim. Usually the r word is reserved for female victims. Hell, one of the experts who did a bunch of the foundational work in studying SA in an interview about a decade ago balked at the idea that men could be victims of women at all.
Epstein’s friends get softened language because they’re rich and powerful. Women usually get softened language by default. I wonder what made her so awful for this to be reported as a “rape” and not a “romp”?
Were they? I’ve never seen any real evidence to support that.
Post 8chan Q is very probably Ron Watkins, 4chan era Q is less certain but there are indications it was a South African software developer named Paul Furber.
Not saying they didn’t take their marching orders from Bannin or Epstein, but I’d want evidence of such. And no, the evidence that Epstein played a role in /pol/ existing at all isn’t enough on its own.
Really? I would have figured the Rapture route would be workable with the right engineering. Especially given the massive amounts of borderline free cooling and non-existing regulatory environment if outside territorial waters.
Adding one more person adds more than one comparison. Assuming birthdays are evenly distributed (they aren’t), 2 people have a 1/365.25 chance of sharing a birthday. But adding a third person adds 2 more chances. Adding that 23rd person adds 22 more chances than adding the 22nd person. 1+2+3…+22=253 separate checks, of which only one needs to match.
People at the heads of nonprofits are often highly compensated, and it’s rare that any of them solve the underlying problem or even make meaningful headway. It’s why there is so much “awareness” and short term band aids involved. A nonprofit that solves the problem it’s supposedly trying to solve has no reason to exist and will cost people well paying jobs managing it.
in Canada, basically if it’s not winter (hard to drive because of conditions and almost complete lack of visibility of the road and signs), it’s road construction time…
You’ll note that Waymo is really only launched in places that tend to have mostly pleasant weather most of the time, because the tech is relatively new (but probably already much better than human drivers most of the time - humans are broadly awful at driving so that doesn’t take much) and they don’t want to try it against the much more difficult conditions in many places yet.
I’m pretty sure this is the world scalies want, not necessarily atheists in general.
I would hope it would collapse under 24A if nothing else, but I don’t trust our current SCOTUS that far. Best to be prepared for it than to hope it fails.
Nah. This isn’t that. It’s bullshit, it’s unnecessarily cruel, but “get a new ID with the M or F switched to the one you don’t identify with” isn’t all that relevant to SAVE when either way that ID alone wouldn’t qualify as documentary proof of United States citizenship per SAVE. If you’re already taking time out to go to the DMV though, you may as well get what you were already going to need to meet SAVE while you’re out and dealing with government bureaucrats. See this as an excuse to get the other sorted too.
Seriously though, everyone needs to read SAVE and ensure you have what you need. Do it now, don’t wait until the election. Don’t even wait until SAVE passes. Be prepared for what they want to pull before they succeed at pulling it, because after they’re only going to make it harder.
You’ll have to get a passport or move to one of the 5 states with an enhanced driver’s license that meets the requirements under section 2(b)(1).
I mean yeah, it’s almost certainly unconstitutional under 24A. But theat requires a SCOTUs who cares about the law and the constitution instead of putting Heritage first, Trump second and all that other stuff a distant third.
Again, read SAVE instead of making assumptions based on practices of other agencies that are tangentially related.
SAVE calls for “documentary proof of United States citizenship”, which it defines in the act itself. A RealID that also verifies citizenship counts (normal RealID doesn’t, and only 5 states that offer an “enhanced driver’s license” do), so does a passport, a military ID combined with a record of service indicating you were born in the US, a federal, state, or tribal photo ID showing your place of birth was in the US or a federal, state or tribal photo ID combined with a birth or naturalization record.
Most people will fall in that last category. And most valid birth records explicitly require the record be of the same name. The big question I’m not sure of is if in all the small changes amended to the law by SAVE if documentary proof of United States Citizenship is required to vote or merely to register.
No reason to use the I9 instead of the actual bill: https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/22/text
That’s the version that passed the house. And the relevant bit is near the top, section 2(b).
What does the IRS have to do with anything? Read the actual bill: https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/22/text
Section 2(b) is the relevant bit regarding what counts as documentary proof of US citizenship.
Does SAVE require documentary proof of citizenship to vote, or just to register? As I understand it, documentary proof of citizenship is the specific requirement that’s hard for anyone who has had a change of name to meet short of a passport or an EDL in the 5 states that offer one.
Sure, but is the full human brain the minimum set necessary?
Sentience/sapience is probably an emergent property of a set of neurons needing to coordinate, plan, predict the future and oneself in relation to it.
I suspect that AI is capable of sentience with sufficient complexity and training, but it’s not there yet. I also suspect we’ll be well past the point where it is there before we realize it is, but not until we make some kind of fundamental change in how we do it - we know human level intelligence is possible in the volume and power consumption of, well, a brain so we’re orders of magnitude off of efficiency limits.
