I can see it being a great stylistic choice given the context. AI is able to nail the lowest point of the uncanny valley, and that makes a lot of sense for the shapeshifting stuff going on in this series.

But from a broader social choice, I think it's in bad taste. I personally think that AI art is copyright infringement on a massive scale. It rubs a lot of artists and people invested in art in the wrong way.

In the example before that, she reported bad behavior to the event organizer, who did basically nothing.

Some people don't want to have to risk their careers in order to enact change. When women speak up, they have a legitimate risk of being labeled as difficult or profiteering The author's hope is that men don't face the same level of criticism or skepticism when calling out other men, and that more voices will make women safer and this whole endeavor more productive.

The suffragettes were repeatedly arrested, they were branded terrorists. Later, their hunger strikes while in prison were broken with force feeding via stomach pump.

Suffragettes also bombed buildings and committed arson and vandalism, even if their means were effective, maybe we shouldn't advocate for their strategies.

And Comic Sans is missing small-caps versions of the letters ᴀᴄᴅᴇᴊᴋᴍɴᴏᴘᴏᴛᴜᴠᴡᴢ (which is most of them), which would put reading your code from hard to nightmare difficulty.

It often takes decades before a revolutionary technology is first discovered/invented, to when it js implemented. Not only does the end product need to work, but its constraints need to be practical, it needs a process that is economical, and it then needs to be scaled up, and the issues caused scale need to be ironed out.

As such, once the technology is actually implemented, it seems like a much more incremental change than the leap forward that it was a decade ago.

This is for churches, not specific ministers. Businesses are allowed to insure themselves against their employees committing crimes.

But the fact that abuse and molestation in the church is so common that this is something remotely entertained is absurd.

Linux doesn't show drive letters because it doesn't use drive letters at all. Instead, everything is a file off of the root directory.

Linux doesn't have drive letters. They use an entirely different system, where everything is a file.

It was likely not even that. It was a browser background update that made the request to Pornhub.

But Hannah claims that her husband didn’t touch her phone and that no one had visited Pornhub. Instead, she says, her phone had made a network request to the website’s servers as part of a background app refresh from a frequently visited tab on her Chrome browser.

WIRED tested Hannah’s claims that Covenant Eyes flags background network activity from websites that aren’t intentionally viewed. Using an iPhone, we visited Pornhub enough times that it was a frequently visited tab on Google Chrome. We then installed Covenant Eyes and restarted our phone. Within minutes, Covenant Eyes alerted our designated accountability partner that a request to Pornhub was made from our test device, even though we never touched it.

This is a known issue with Covenant Eyes. The alert Covenant Eyes sent when it detected a network request to Pornhub explicitly stated that the software cannot determine if the user “intentionally viewed” the webpage because “some apps generate activity in the background without the member’s consent.” The company has public documentation about the shortcoming.

So because they didn't clear their web browser history before agreeing to the terms of the bond and installing Covenant Eyes, the husband is back in jail.

Most EVs don't even have CVTs. They often don't even have multi-speed transmissions at all. The type of electric motor used produces maximum torque at 0 RPM, so it no longer needs a transmission to prevent stalling and its torque-RPM curve is so flat that a multi-speed transmission would reduce performance under most driving conditions.

Bus rapid transit is a thing, as are bus lanes. It's cool! No flying buses necessary.

When I lived in a city with good transit, biking and then taking the bus was more reliable than driving to work. Driving puts you at the whims of traffic and construction, some of which may or may not be forecastable.
