The same people said Pink Floyd (and other early electronic music artists) aren't musicians because they use synthesizers. It's fundamentally misunderstanding what AI is (and what art is too, for that matter).

Without getting too much into politics, I agree with you 100%, unions are the way to go.

The context was pretty clear here. This particular engineer got asked to do something he knew was unethical and he did it anyway. That is pretty black on white to me. Consumer behaviour is an entirely different thing.

Where are all those people skiing in southern England? I want to get in on the action.

Good. For context, air pollution kills 200,000 in the US and 40,000 in UK every year. You have to consider ethics in your work as an Engineer. Refusing an unethical task is your moral duty.

Do you know of any good resources for doing this in Europe?

Unfortunately yes, apparently: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgin_cleansing_myth People are so screwed up.

I have met one serious flat-earther (working as a QA engineer funnily enough) and I think they may be more common than you think. The person had clearly easily impressionable personality as well as a 'there must be someone behind this&

Our IT dept just sent us an email NOT to upgrade if OS asks. Wonder if the holdout is the new filesystem or something else?

The Web Payments API was actually created just a few months ago (or at least gained public notoriety). https://www.w3.org/TR/payment-request/ It's already in Chrome and Edge, coming to Safari: http:/&#x

Yeah, I am aware his diaries are not a reliable source, however (I should have said) his meeting meeting with Ariovistus is confirmed by other sources, check wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ariovistus#Confronta

I think there is another German who predates Teutoborg by about 50 years, and who really captivated me when I found out about him - Ariovistus. He was a leader of the Suebii (mentioned in TFA), who extended German rule into Gaul around the

Been using Brave on mobile and it's great, but the UI layout on desktop is awkward so I don't use it there.

I used it to transfer money between countries with an exchange rate better than any other available. Surely this is not illegal?

No, it isn't. Sorry but this is exactly the kind of "there must be a hidden agenda to this" thinking which skews your reality. Our governments are simply highly incompetent and terribly mismanaged, but not in the hands of org

Looks like they have two? On the front page, when you scroll down "support the project" they display the one I pasted.

74 subjects over 6 months? Is that even a meaningful sample? Especially considering all the other factors like stress levels etc...

The Saxons also came from area of modern Denmark, to fill the void left by collapsed Roman Britain, which was occupied by Celtic Britons (and Romans from other parts of the Empire)

Except its not minumum and not viable. Its bloated with lots of features added over the years on top of each other, and its terrible.

Absolutely agree, the load time is often very slow and completely unnecessary, just have a thin client in the background checking for updates, and if you want to look at your "Steam Inventory" whatever the fuck that is there shoul

Looks like they slightly adjusted the look of those four rings. I can't see the difference to be honest. Either way I think calling this a rebrand is a massive stretch.

This may not be the case for most people, but an hour walk after heavy drinking with music in my ears and nothing but empty road and darkness is something I really miss because of uber.
