  3. Most websites with adult content are already rated on Wannabe Prime Minister Andrea Leadsom Thinks Websites Should Be Rated Like Films (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 2

    While there's no "standard rating system", pretty much any site that is not appropriate for kids have either on its rules or on the main page a warning that its not for minors.
    Of course, this might be just a censorship move that both the old conservatives and new libs want, while the old libs and new conservatives dont.

    The problem with some of those optimizations is that they make the "regular xbox one mode" be different in timming, sometimes enough to break some games, and this is a big no-no.

    Clearing up a pile of guesswork with hard data is always helpful.

    Past yes, present, not as much.
    After all, Inheritance is a thing, and the terrible racial bias of the past and cultural factors etc did indeed created a gap.
    But it's not with even more racial bias and cult-like shaming of people etc.. that you will solve that.
    You simply treat everyone as equal, and combat poverty regardless of the color of the skin, past or anything, giving those actually chance to thrive and get a better life.
    Also you avoid that funny side-effect of having this massive passive-agressive racist system socjus imposes, where you basically call people of different ethnicities as "inferior species that needs a crutch from the system to get in a equal stance to the CIS white scum".

    Also Tflops are very useless as a measure of anything performance related.
    It's entirely possible to get some FPGAs and make a machine that does a lot TFLOPs by shoving several useless floating point negate circuits that keep processing a register.
    And while it's not as drastic on the case of the Xbone, it's quite possible they use the same architecture as on the Xbox one to keep backward compatibility, and this means the "6Tflops" it will offer are slower than the "6Tflops" you find on a modern videocard.

    After all, when the corrupt members of the EU finish doing their plans and turn the block into a supercountry ruled by a group of unelected dictators with its own army and thirst for the rest of europe, they will attack UK both physically and via internet to take it down and conquer the land for themselves, thus indeed putting the UK's cybersecurity at risk.

    Well, thanks for putting several, several words on my mouth based on your insane collectivist view of the world.
    But to answer that, no, the world is not a perfect meritocracy, but its quite a lot more complex than just "racial group x oppresses racial group y", but most likely poverty and lack of access to a good education pay much bigger role than racial bias on making people living terrible lives, and the cult is doing nothing to fix it.
    Actually it mostly use those people as stepping stones for power, ditching em as soon they're not useful anymore.

    Actually, that's not how a social justice warrior world would work.
    They don't seek to make a "politically correct world", but a world where everyone is forced to be equal and repay for what your ethnical group did in the past etc etc etc, to not mention always defining people into "oppressors" and "oppressed".
    It would be a insane world where people would be monitored 24/7 to stop any kind of oppression, and you would need to pray for your ethnical group to not be defined as "oppressors" that week, or well, its oven for you, even if you didn't actually did anything.
