Wasn’t an R shot at the congressional baseball game a few years ago. Didn’t seem to do shit.

Robot cars can be crashed with tinfoil and painted cardboard (www.theregister.com)

A team of researchers from prominent universities – including SUNY Buffalo, Iowa State, UNC Charlotte, and Purdue – were able to turn an autonomous vehicle (AV) operated on the open sourced Apollo driving platform from Chinese web giant Baidu into a deadly weapon by tricking its multi-sensor fusion system, and suggest the...

Because humans have more accountability. Also it has implications for military/police use of self-guided stuff.

I mean 60y of service ain’t too shabby for an ocean vessel that submersrs like 80% of itself.

It is sad that the ONR and Scripps didn’t have the 8-10mill to keep it functional.

It depends on what payment thing they use. Most places use a third-party payment POS and stick with default settings.

Clover or whoever also gets money for letting whoever use their system. They get an upfront fee then a percent of sales.

That’s only if criminals are elected. Biden used the pardon in 2022 and 2023 to pardon many minor weed related offenses.

Yeah but that is less likely to have more sex.

Because it is a Hail Mary option. He can appeal but doing so unsuccessfully ensures that Cannon switches from this passive help of the defense to being outright against the prosecution which makes things harder than they already are. A successful appeal still creates a delay in the trial because the new judge has to get up to speed.

And Trump would “finish the problem” nbcnews.com/…/trump-israel-gaza-finish-problem-rc…

And Nikki Haley wrote “finish them” on an Israeli missile.

Just a reminder the GOP isn’t a better option here. We need to primary out the corpos on both sides but presidentially there isn’t a anti-genocide candidate that has a chance.

The rest of their politics are important as well.

They stopped being hosted by the league of women voters in 1988 because both political parties wanted to be able to frame the debates as they wished and as such started sponsoring their own debates and tried to impose several restrictions on how LWV debates would be ran. As a result LWV backed out of presidential debates but they still sponsor other debates.

1988 to 2020 presidential debates were run by the “commission on presidential debates” basically a nonprofit co-founded and run by both the DNC and RNC. This year both campaigns opted out of the CPD debates and are only doing 2 at all, one sponsored by CNN and the other by ABC. Last year debates were a shitshow so it’s not exactly surprising.

Scottie is the top golfer in PGA, was arrested and released on way to his tee time. Officer bodycam was off. Scottie supposedly dragged an officer by car and was irate about traffic instructions(due to a crash he was not involved in). Officer hit Scottie during arrest.

Charges dropped and officer “counseled” regarding bodycam being off.

Short answer is no, not long-term.

Depends on the nursing degree. Usually only 2-4, some programs are only a year.

The MDs and DOs do 4+

You may well ask: “Why direct action? Why sit ins, marches and so forth? Isn’t negotiation a better path?” You are quite right in calling for negotiation. Indeed, this is the very purpose of direct action. Nonviolent direct action seeks to create such a crisis and foster such a tension that a community which has constantly refused to negotiate is forced to confront the issue. It seeks so to dramatize the issue that it can no longer be ignored. My citing the creation of tension as part of the work of the nonviolent resister may sound rather shocking. But I must confess that I am not afraid of the word “tension.” I have earnestly opposed violent tension, but there is a type of constructive, nonviolent tension which is necessary for growth. Just as Socrates felt that it was necessary to create a tension in the mind so that individuals could rise from the bondage of myths and half truths to the unfettered realm of creative analysis and objective appraisal, so must we see the need for nonviolent gadflies to create the kind of tension in society that will help men rise from the dark depths of prejudice and racism to the majestic heights of understanding and brotherhood.

I must make two honest confessions to you, my Christian and Jewish brothers. First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

Democratic US lawmakers introduce bill to bar foreign payments to president (www.reuters.com)

Democratic U.S. lawmakers introduced legislation on Tuesday that would bar the president and other top officials from accepting payments from foreign governments while in office, a measure clearly aimed at Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump....

This is political theater to keep the fact that we (probably) had a foreign agent as president in people’s minds.

No, this could pass because rich folk can set their kids up even better while simultaneously avoiding income tax. Ain’t the average single parent that can put multiple thousands per year towards child accounts (e.g. 529) after contributing 30k+/y (23k 401, 7k ira, and brokerage) to their own retirement.

Hey, maybe when the rich (who fly a heck of a lot) start getting a little uncomfy we can actually do something about that climate change thing.

phdepressed ,

The rich go international more than most. And boats are a heck of a lot slower than planes.

Most of space is empty, analysis of the path beforehand and a structure that can withstand the smaller objects is really all that’s necessary. But those are just as theoretical as this engine.

phdepressed ,

Yes, as I said theoretically. If/by the time this heavily theoretical engine comes to fruition there will probably be ways to detect asteroids better than we have now. Also materials/structural design that are better than what we have now for sustaining the smaller hits. Maybe quantum prediction scanning, maybe a forcefield. Who knows by then.

So the brain organoid grew normally after thawing and kept the phenotypes tested (normal and epilepsy).

Organoid is very different from a full organ or organism though. Useful for research, extreme doubt for any clinical utility though.

Hey man some people are into that, no need to kink shame.

Russia is happy with a warmer world. Their land will become more temperate, they’ll get a shipping passage up north. And of course the oligarchy will get richer. Gazprom their state owned and run oil and gas companies is one of Russia’s main economic drivers.

To the curious what these mean: a phenylalanine(F) is changed to a leucine(L) and an arginine® is changed to a Threonine(T). These changes occur at the 456th and 346th amino acids in the protein (I’m assuming the “spike” protein). How these changes actually matter to viral infection and spread is mostly unknown but these variants are most prominent in people actually going to their doctor or the hospital (as no one else is likely to test anymore).

The mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) is mom exclusive, however the majority of mitochondrial proteins are coded for in the “regular” nuclear genome. So both mom and dad end up contributing to your mitochondria.

Hard to tell how much Biden will lose. He’s definitely not liked but a lot of the “not going to vote because Palestinian genocide” is probably trolls (likely Russian/Chinese). Things would be worse for Israel and Ukraine under Trump and they know it. I’m more interested in whether Dems can be shifted further left to stop the genocide, help Ukraine more, and get some basic rights back.

Trumps’ base is still loyal but I think many non-extremists are just fucking tired of him and his ilk. His base is also old and more Rs than Ds died by not vaccinating.

More weapons and egging the IDF on, not giving even the aid they get now. No air drops, no “red line” for ground invasion and full eradication. Possible US military involvement. Not even verbal reprimands about hostage killing and war crimes. Strong pressure on other governments to support Israel “or else”.

Needing to support Israel was one of the first things the house GOP used to prevent aid for Ukraine, requiring them to be tied together. It is already horrendous but Trump and the GOP would take making it worse a challenge.

Murder on both sides, less murder on one side more murder on the other side. When those are the options I’ll pick less murder.

phdepressed ,

Israel lobbies both sides and owns more of the GOP than they do Dems. Look at the votes, look at what they say, look at their funding. The GOP uses support for Israel to antisemitism the same way as saying " I have a black friend" is to racism. Most Dem voters no longer support what Israel is doing, as originally retaliation against Hamas made sense. As that turned from anti-hamas with some collateral damage into a genocide support by Dems has continued to reduce. Most GOP voters still support Israel (according to various polls). Pro-Israel dems have also been primaried in a number of races (e.g. against members of “the squad” who are against the genocide). The GOP continues to support Israel “getting on with it” and the “settlers”. If it was just for show by the GOP it wouldn’t have needed to be added to the final aid bill that passed. The GOP and conservative/bought Dems did similar things back when Obama was president to prevent support for Palestinians.

And since the GOP doesn’t care about brown people there will be worse if Trump wins.

And then you’ll also have a Ukrainian genocide at the same time as Trump withdraws and vetos any support going there. So double less murder better than more murder.

I would also point to the recent Republican bill that stops Biden from preventing or slowing weapon shipments to Israel something he had used to prevent a ground invasion.

Don’t think Barron is in media enough for that kind of fame/infamy. So far he’s been “quiet”. We’ll see if that changes now that he’s an adult.

He was being pushed as an RNC delegate but that seems to have been turned down.

At a societal level young people arent getting the benefits of their work. We’re getting what is paid for. They’re paying those old guys pensions+benefits but their own has been cut to the marrow. Consumers pay isn’t going to them. And good fucking luck to any of them trying to start up against behemoths both local and national that can nip them in the bud before they become competitive.

Not a weeb but I think that’s most places if you don’t look or speak like them. I’m American but I’m brown, west coast, bigger cities there’s enough brown people I don’t stand out. Down south, rural small towns, most of Europe those reactions and percentages sound about right.

Welcome to being a minority.

No, and no. My PhD thesis was on gene delivery. We’re barely getting into the simplest modifications for disease treatment. Multigene stuff, and spatiotemporal control is still a ways off.
