  1. Re:People In Need on Facebook Spares Humans By Fighting Offensive Photos With AI (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    how good will it be at differentiating from artistic nipples, male nipples, offensive female nipples, accidental nipples? Until it can 100% spot and block only the offensive female nipples there's always a job for you...

    Oracle needs to define, explicitly, why it feels the instructions to the jury that has already decided the fact of the case that has now concluded were in any way improper.

    I'm pretty sure they'll have a problem with that one seeing as both parties had to agree the text of the jury instructions

    At this time, the driver had the opportunity to cancel the action by pressing CANCEL on the center touchscreen display; however, the CANCEL button was not clicked by the driver.

    Blowing mod points here, but this is where Tesla fscked up... by defaulting the selection to time out to accept it... the dialogue message should have been 'Press to Accept'... and cancelling if it times out...

  7. "At will" employment contracts are largely illegal.

    Which in the UK, they've invented Zero Hours Contracts (ZHC) where the employer will not guarantee any work for you and you are also free to seek other work elsewhere, unless they're a scumbag employer who've inserted an 'exclusivity' clause where you have to get written permission to be able to work elsewhere...

    Currently, people are now terrified to refuse any hours offered from employers as they are worried they'll not be offered any further hours if it is refused...

    how about reviewing the licensing and all the other petty laws restricting the community?

    I'm not to impressed with wikipedia one of the things they do is make sure that biographies/discographies of indie label artists are not published even if they top the cmj charts, are on many the ordinary digital music services, have CDs in distribution to music specialty stores, and have played for crowds of over 50K.

    so how did these people make it into Wikipedia then? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

  18. Re:"Clean diesel" is an oxymoron on Nearly All New Diesel Cars Exceed Official Pollution Limits (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    the 'trick' to getting your diesel car through the MOT test is to take it for a ten mile drive just before test time and drive a gear or two below the correct gear...say 50 mph in third instead of fifth... this cleans out your exhaust and the diesel particulate filter... getting it to the test with a well warmed up engine helps to pass the test...
