He added that, while waiting in the minivan for his citation, he caught a glimpse of the agents in the vehicle with him receiving text messages from a group chat called “Chiraq Team 2.”

This was the only bit of the article actually related to the headline, which feels a bit clickbaity.

That aside, it was a good window in to just how far things have gone in the US. Scary stuff.

He actually has a calmer one, but it's not always around. It comes and goes.

OP, that title is dangerously incorrect... I'm not sure if The Guardian messed up and has since fixed it, but in any case, the article's title currently reads:

Historian uses AI to help identify Nazi in notorious Holocaust murder image

You might want to update your title to match.

Is it really that bad? I don't really play metroidvanias, but thought I'd give it a try and have really being enjoying it. You have to go in with the expectation that a lot of fights might take 5-10 tries to learn all the mechanics and build muscle memory. It's a hard game, but also very rewarding when you progress precisely because it doesn't spoon-feed you victories.

Also, IIRC, they've already released a few patches to tone down the difficulty in some of the tougher spots.

hewwo :3

Sadly, that doesn't disqualify him from holding office.

The future of this elegant and proven system was put in jeopardy last month, when Google unilaterally decreed that Android developers everywhere in the world are going to be required to register centrally with Google.
[...]
If it were to be put into effect, the developer registration decree will end the F-Droid project and other free/open-source app distribution sources as we know them today, and the world will be deprived of the safety and security of the catalog of thousands of apps that can be trusted and verified by any and all.

Just quoting a few key excepts here, but the whole thing is worth a read.

EDIT: I used Photoshop's AI to fully corrupt the plate. Nothing kills text harder than AI.

Ahh, that makes more sense. I was trying to understand why only the licence plate looked AI generated. Either that or why it'd have "Valencia College", distorted "Arizona" and something resembling Hebrew script.

Oooh, override! Cute!

Yeah, I was a bit strategically ambiguous, because there are edge cases that could really make it go either way.

Most victimless (or self-victimising) crimes should be legal.

There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can’t take part; you can’t even passively take part, and you’ve got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you’ve got to make it stop. And you’ve got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you’re free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!

Just dropped by to make sure this comment was here... twice.

I'm having a c-section, cause ain't no way that's coming out of my pp.

But when I looked outside of the United States, I found that basically every other country with a major wildfire season is now giving crews masks to protect against smoke. And they have not seen an increase in heat stroke. Firefighters are not collapsing because they’re getting too hot. They basically just take off the mask if they’re starting to overheat.

My sources at the Forest Service told me what’s really going on here is a fear of admitting how dangerous smoke is. They said if the Forest Service were to acknowledge how risky it is to work in smoke, the agency might have to start taking on a lot of extra costs. It might have to start paying for more health care. Or hiring more firefighters so that workers could take breaks. And it could also just become harder to recruit for these jobs that are already pretty grueling and low-paying.

Seems the orphan crushing machine is working as designed.

My first assumption was that it was only the Democrats voting, which seems to have been the case, as it was a DNC internal vote. If there were more than democrats voting on it, then to say that it was the democrats who were voting would seem to me to be unnecessary or misleading.

They certainly could have mentioned the DNC in the title to make it more more clear, though.

Yeah, I understand, I was a huge meat lover too. I definitely took some pride in my ability to cook a perfect steak. One day I just said I can't morally justify it, so I'm done, and went... vegetarian.

From that point, I think I did intend to go vegan eventually, but it ended up taking me quite a while because i didn't think cutting everything all at once would've been sustainable for me. I kept going back to r/vegan and reading/getting in debates about ethics and it all pushed me to eventually cut animal products entirely.

There were definitely people who were quite blunt with me along the way who I now appreciate, and wish i could be more like, sometimes, but I'm way too non-confrontational for that.

But one thing I found I asked myself a lot was: "am I really doing my best to live according to the morals I believe in".

The beatings will continue until morale improves.
