It’s so hard to even conceptualize if it would be better. A few common divisions would be, but is it easier than a decimal system? Would switching to one ever not feel weird if you previously learnt the decimal system?

I think they did briefly mentioned they improved the sticks, but they never clarified what exactly.

I’m tempted to say that although many of these are gaming icons, they’re not PC-exclusive so they’re not really PC-gaming specific mascot material. Most of these characters are playable on consoles too.

I guess this makes MMORPGs and RTS games prime candidates, like a character from Runescape, Starcraft or WoW. Or perhaps something that shows off modding, like the Thomas the Tank Engine dragon (even if the game isn’t PC exclusive).

The Kerbals from KSP could be mascot material too. Dwarf Fortress would be an option too. Or what about a guest from Roller Coaster Tycoon 1/2?

Even sitting on a couch moves your phone more than simply laying on a table. They can use accelerometer data to determine how, if at all, it moved.

They likely have the data to show it didn’t move at all. Eg it wasn’t on your person.

I’m not sure a technical solution is feasible, other than dns-blocking these trackers. I suppose lawmakers need to spring into action to make this shit illegal.

Yeah it’s Javascript that’s the issue that can just take all this data in the client and send it wherever. And that’s exactly what’s happening.

You are unique!

A lot of those things are also required to render a webpage correctly.

It’s a pretty simple concept. Train any kind of model on only “good” data, and it fails to distinguish between that data and bad data.

Take image recognition. Feed it hundreds of images of an orange and ask it to find the orange. After training, it will be very good at finding that orange.

Then add a picture of a Pomeranian dog in there, and watch as the model confidently marks it as an orange.

The model should have been trained on lots of images that don’t feature what you want it to output as well, so it knows to distinguish that.

Left is always supposed to be off. If not, the UI/UZ designer who made the page messed up.

What I mean by immediate effect is that a switch is supposed to toggle something instantly. Checkboxes are more common in forms, where you expect to submit your choices later.

Switches with more than one option are generally bad, agreed with you there.

It’s real. Batman #98.

Left is always off, right is on. Generally a toggle switch indicates an immediate change, whereas a checkbox can have a delayed effect. Colours are optional but generally a colour indicates the switch is turned on.

This seems rather unlikely. Ukraine for example takes care to inform journalists and simply asks them not to compromise their locations, checking phones and cameras where necessary.

They don’t hold journalists at gunpoint, delete all images off of each device, then threaten the journalists if they dare come back.

Israel has committed crimes in Syria too, which they seem keen to cover up. Intimidation of the press fits in that pattern. They wouldn’t behave like this if it was jusy opsec.

Sad indeed, it really sours it.

I hate that I’m pretty sure I know who you’re referring to.

Perhaps a slightly less doom-and-gloomy scenario (because not all muslims hate women): in many muslim cultures it’s expected that a relationship turns into a marriage quickly. A non-muslim colleague of mine started dating a muslim girl and her family was totally supportive of the relationship, but he did have to marry her within just a couple months of dating. They were both happy to do so but they’re a fair bit older than you are. Your girlfriend might not feel ready for such a thing.

Talk to her about it, and ask if she’s worried about her family’s reaction, what she expects and why. Don’t pressure her into introducing you to the family, but clarify that you’d just like to know why. You can express you’d like to meet them of course, but just remember that her decision should be final in all this. That will help your relationship going forward, and once she is ready for it you’ll get to meet them.

The judges were personally sanctioned I believe.

That’s all conjecture. I’m not sure lawmakers would be particularly swayed by the Haka, particularly not the proponents of the bill (who probably care even less about it).

Even then, an impassioned speech tends to be far more effective in parliament than disruptive protests (historically speaking).

The bill was already fairly controversial, so it probably wouldn’t have passed through legislative apathy.

Yeah but why bother? That same parliamentary process defeated the bill?
