If you look up the study, the exact quote is “nonconsensual penetration or sexual touching involving physical force or incapacitation,”.
The summary is brain-dead, but in a way that *understates* the problem, compared to the actual quote (which doesn't contain the word "rape"). After all, you're interpreting this as lower arms and shoulders, but that's clearly not "sexual touching involving physical force or incapacitation"..
No, that's not true at all. Spoken words are comprised of 0 letters or characters, they are comprised only of sounds (phones). Other languages have fully-ideographic written forms.
I would say it differently: a word is something with at least one widely-used verbal representation (making allowances for accents, variation in voice, and tomato-"tomahto" differences).
We generally don't consider a real-life smile a word, even though that's a well-understood form of visual communication. The middle finger or "okay" hand-sign isn't a word either, even though they have different meanings in different cultures, just like regular words.
Of course, by that argument I think ":)" is, arguably, a word, with a less-used variant spelling of "smiley".
What sort of entry level employer ever gave a shit where you went to high school? I could have sprung fully formed from the head of zeus with my degree in hand for all any employer ever cared.
That's called a transcription error or typo, not a transposition error.
In a transposition error all the right keys are typed in the wrong order. In a transcription error, the wrong keys are pressed but otherwise the order is correct.
We all understand the summary, so on that level it worked, but we can't argue they used the right term because they didn't.
Americans were not opposed to the Afghanistan invasion after 9/11, what are you talking about? Support was near-universal even among groups that generally advocate peace. Some people *today* are tired and think it was a mistake in retrospect but they didn't think that in 2001 or for the most part even in 2010.
By contrast, the Iraq war was widely (though *not* universally) considered a mistake very quickly. Yet public opinion has barely shifted since shortly after it started, in contrast to Afghanistan where it was near universal and is now closing in on 50/50 in retrospect (and using polls that include people who were small children at the time of 9/11).
He didn't say they don't want it, or that they wouldn't benefit from it, he said they don't have it. It's an educational effort.
If the town wants to continue to exist, or have an economy that can support the old people, they should figure out how to. A small town where literally everybody is over 70 doesn't actually work, economically speaking.
Whether this particular effort is useful I don't know.
I wouldn't be convinced that the first generation won't change lanes when safe to avoid obstacles. After all, that's something they have to do even in normal driving scenarios. Suppose there is a car stopped on the road up ahead after an accident. The car isn't going to stop and wait for hours for the obstruction to clear, it's just going to change lanes. The computer is constantly taking in information from multiple vectors so decision-making time isn't a factor. If a sudden obstruction appears ahead, it seems like brake + lane change is going to happen.
Aside from the usual arguments about AI drivers likely driving safely -- an automated taxi has 1 fewer human inside of it to be injured. Even if AI drivers generally had a slightly worse record than humans in this hypothetical future, an AI taxi might have cheaper insurance:).
The right to refuse to fill in a census form is not an important freedom. I know there's a set of people who claim that there are no unimportant freedoms, but they are literally crazy.
You will note that it was and is also illegal in the US and other countries to refuse the census.
Yes, but none of that implies that the cave-dwelling creatures selected for the loss of sight so that their visual cortex could be repurposed. They're blind regardless of whether they could see if introduced to light.
You aren't paying to prevent one trip, you're paying for every trip to the store. As well as their streaming video service.
The $99 + video streaming is weighed against your time, your gas money, and the marginal maintenance costs on your vehicle, and two days of latency.
For me, my time is worth a lot more to me, in most cases, than the a minor shipping latency. If I didn't have it at all yesterday I probably don't need it today either. It's a rare emergency that getting more stuff a day earlier is worth even 5 minutes of my time.
Can you please clarify that? There exist real power plants today based on those technologies, albeit not much for tidal.
The main problem with those that I'm aware of is they are extremely local, even moreso than most other renewables -- that's why they are no general replacement for fossils or nuclear. You can't just pop up a geothermal plant wherever it's convenient to generate power. But Japan has a lock on a good chunk of both. I can try making wild guesses why you think it's bullshit but I'd rather you made your own point rather than inviting me to set up straw men to attack (no, lmgtfy doesn't have the answer).
He wasn't talking about squandering money or labour, he was talking about squandering anti-bacterial potential.
With this said, I'm extremely doubtful that children's toy packaging is so biologically significant to Earth's ecosystem that it would move the needle on disease immunity.
The trick is that bacteria lose their adaptations to bacteria-resistant things when the bacteria-resistant things are removed from their environment.
It is when the search & selection interface differs greatly between Hulu/Netflix/HBO.
I like the Roku interface because it lets you cut through those distinctions and jump straight in, while also allowing you to navigate each service individually. I'm sure there are others that do the same (somebody mentioned tivo, somebody else mentioned a chromecast app).
Yes it is. Different channels, sometimes with overlapping content, are offering their own services for separate prices, all of which can be ultimately displayed by the same end hardware.
That's exactly what a la carte pricing is. As opposed to bundles, which are many channels, or pay-per-view, where individual episodes or possibly TV series are charged for but not a channel of content.
Being born of a certain racial background is something you can't help, and which also doesn't make you a piece of shit.
Being a Trump supporter is your own free choice and is also undeniably directly correlated to your political beliefs. You can argue that it's not correlated to the specific belief that it's okay to call children "half-nigger pieces of shit" for bringing a disassembled clock to school, but it's certainly not in the same ballpark.
Who gives a shit if anybody ever said the word invention? This is such a huge distraction. So many people on slashdot are more concerned with the specific words you use than the actions you take.
It's not about whether he's a genius. It's about whether innocent and safe intellectual curiosity is being punished by society. When the president, and Google, etc. invite Ahmed over, they are trying to counter the signal from police and school which said that it was unacceptable.

It's very clear. It says that it's not permitted in the USA. His follow-up statement is a statement about his intents.

It actually is. A la carte pricing, in TV terms, always referred to charging for individual channels. And channels were mini-bundles.

If I'd brought something like that to school, I would have been arrested too.
You're acting like this is okay, and that the problem is that this made news.
Everybody knew it wasn't a bomb. The evidence is clear: nobody evacuated, and the bomb squad wasn't called in.
Therefore, it did not look like a threat, and reactions as if it looked like a thread were incorrect.
Kid got arrested for the Radio Shack clock. Why are you skipping that part? Nobody would have cared if he wasn't arrested.
There's no irony here.

The firefighter doesn't get to shit on my carpet either.
You didn't do it personally, but your country did.
They aren't asking you personally to fix the problem. They are asking your country to fix it.
It's not like there's nobody left alive from 1966.
