Re: Political suicide.

>Anyone who uses TikTok, especially those who make their cash from TikTok will vote against the regime that does this.

It has 'interesting' tri-partisan support.

The GOP are for it cos China is the new bad

The Dems are for it cos a lot of foreign 'alternative truth' targets users who are likely their voters

The chosen one is against it cos a donor is a ByteDance investor he is fundamentally committed to free speech above mere global politics

Re: Photo ID in UK

> I have no doubt that if a UK citizen went off to fight for Russia against Ukraine you'd not want them back.

Ireland wasn't exactly friendly post-war to those who went off to fight for Britain against the Nazis

Re: The burden of proof

Which is why Judges are chosen by lottery.

Imagine how fscked your system would be if a government could stack the courts with lifetime political appointees

Re: Photo ID in UK

>As much as you would like to blame Labour, this is just yet another Tory fuckup.

But if Labour hand't kept losing elections then a series of disastrous Tory PMs wouldn't have been in power and so really all this is Corbyn's fault

Re: Photo ID in UK

>Could you provide the necessary paperwork to show you are a citizen of whatever country you think you are a citizen of?

Yes cos I'm a filthy rotten immigrant

Bring me your Physics PhDs, bring me your entrepreneurs yearning to form companies

Re: AI == Absolute Idiot

But would be capable of making a video of a president collapsing and being put in an ambulance, that could be aired continually by a vulpine news network on election day.

Re: Photo ID in UK

Naturally, dead conservative voters are much more politically involved than dead labour votes - you just have to look at the Tory party conference

Re: Photo ID in UK

>nothing is stopping younger people and minorities getting ID cards, you can get one for free from the government site.

So all those black people deported in the Windrush scandal could have avoided being rounded up and deported if they had just thought to apply for and carry a free Id card to prove they were real people?

Really how much simpler could we have made it? Perhaps some sort of badge they could sew onto their clothes ?

Re: Hillary is an AI creation

Unlikely, AI models generally spout nonsense, make up words, go off on tangents and make nonsensical statements totally unrelated to the subject and hallucinate events and facts that didn't happen

No way they could reproduce a presidential candidate

Re: Photo ID in UK

Because pensioners vote for us and students vote for them

Re: Photo ID in UK

We must get to the root of the problem. Bears are being forced to dress as people to achieve their political goals. Universal suffrage for Ursine mammals now

No it's a simple 1 dimensional board - but you can only make a new word by adding a compound to the existing word

Re: Still too low.

>To them, "infosec" is a foreign word

Ingsoc is double plus ungood

Re: Still too low.

Wouldn't a cybernaut travel by trireme?

>worst irresponsible

They are noble benefactors of us 'professionals'

They are the ones that pay for all the stuff we get for free and they distract the ad-slingers from getting more aggressive targeting us.

If everyone runs an ad blocker they are either going to get more intrusive about putting ads into the content or just put more stuff behind paywalls

Re: Really???

Also in Canada, people call visiting their lakeside holiday home 'cottaging'. Interesting to hear your boss announce they are looking forward to going cottaging at the weekend

Re: No shortage of helium

>The US used to keep a cave full of helium but is selling it off because there is no strategic reason to maintain a reserve.

The original panic was that they were ordered to sell the reserve off in a ridiculously short time to meet some political budget deadline. So it would almost all have been dumped just to prove that the government wasn't involved in owning things and therefore commies.

IIRC there were some quiet behind-the-scenes words and sanity prevailed.

Not very, 800 - 1000nm ?

They are flexible chips printed directly onto the flexible interconnects, mostly used for things like sensors or antennea

IIRC they are a descendant of the inkjet-print-transistors Cambridge spin out in the 90s whose name I have forgotten

It's not bad news - but this isn't a fab in the TSMC sense.

They make flexible circuit boards, NFC antennae etc, useful and they are good at it - but this isn't the UK competing with Taiwan and the USA

Re: Nice trip hazard

With feature sizes of a fraction of an inch

Re: The rot has already happened.

Not sure it's fair to blame the NTSB for Boeing. Generally the NTSB are involved after the plane has already had the bad day

Re: Musical chairs

>and they're just rearranging the deck chairs

That's a bit unfair to Boeing management. They are not re-arranging deck chairs.

They have actually sold the division in charge of deck chairs who gave replaced the deck chair arrangers with gig workers. And by making it merely a re-arranging there is no need to include it in any safety plan.

Re: Whether they will look outside the company

It's no-frills. You want frills ?

Ryanair will just charge more for a seat with an opening window

Didn't he replace the last CEO after the MAX crashes?

He's getting fired to be seen to be doing something about the door plug

At this point you could just wire 'send press release firing the CEO' into the black box

Re: Whether they will look outside the company

>Indeed, and I think that they ought to start recruiting senior executives from the likes of Airbus and Embraer.

They tried to buy Embraer to get some cheap non-union younger dynamic engineers but it got shot down by the monopy authorities

AMDs software has been crap, to the extent of fundamental bugs in the fft lib being reported and unfixed for 2years.

They can't get onboard with Intel's API if Intel are competing with AMD for graphics card sales.

And nobody is going to get behind an open standard that doesn't give them the advantage everyone else implementing the standard, so it becomes a box tick 'opencl support(*)' in the same way that Windows 'supported' OpenGL and POSIX.

* for minimum values of support

Same reason people keep having children when perfection was obviously reached with YAANONC

>What specific information do you think people will be angry about telling the government but willing to put into a Facebook form? I can't think of anything.

In some of the more G*D-fearing states: that you are a friend of the star of wizard of Oz or that you are expecting a baby ?

Or suppose you were a sovereign government outside the USA, possibly one which encompassed 27 European economies, and thought to yourself:

You know, those American chaps are right, it's totally unconscionable to have the private data of your citizens in the hands of filthy foreigners

Apple, Microsoft, Google, Facebook, TPFKAT you have 180days to divest all your companies in the Eu

Congress aren't owned by China. Congress are owned by Russia and Russia is more afraid of China than the US is - so Russia's people are anti-China

The one notable example is the guy who used to be anti-China when Russia employed him is still anti-China, but is now being paid by somebody who is invested in TikTok

Re: What are they using as their zero point?

Verne equinox is when the sun leaves the southern hemisphere for the north.

Frankly it seems unfair of the south to hang onto the sun all winter when we could really use it
