Ah yes, I guess they weren't *true* Scotsmen either?
In this case, I mean literally... literally. You can find citations trivially. Everyone should know this by now. If you want to talk about Nazis, you should know something about Nazis.
"Remember, Na-Zi means National SOCIALIST, and that's that fascism is."
Remember, the Nazis literally called themselves socialists to fool stupid people, and you also don't know what either socialism or fascism is if you think one is a type of the other.
He wasn't a Nazi but George Washington did a genocide and was named "Town Killer" for it. And before someone points out that was his father, no, his father (who was also named George) ALSO did a genocide and was called the same thing for the same reason.
If AI has never eaten a grilled cheese sandwich, how would you expect it to know what a protein shake is?
I have the issue where not every mouse click is recognized. On anything. Web page, form, MS Office software, third-party software, Windows itself, text field, you name it. I'll click somewhere, the mouse directly on what needs selected, and nothing happens. I have to click again to do what I want.
I first noticed it in W10 and it has continued to W11.
NT existed when IBM brought out at least two major versions of OS/2 without such features while NT had them, so... No.
Oh, I think I saw that YouTube video!
Generally the "even engineer dads can't make heads nor tails of it" objection is that the engineer dads didn't spend a couple minutes reading the helpfully coloured highlight box in the textbook. There has been a push in math to develop teaching methods that emphasize understanding rather than memorization. Thus 5x3 becomes 5x5x5 or 3x3x3x3x3 instead of "STFU and memorize your times tables."
A better example, also from Internet memes, is a procedure where you add or multiply a pair of larger numbers by breaking them down into component problems. 37 + 55 becomes (30 + 50) + (7 + 5) and some "parent" on Reddit or Facebook with add a comment like "why can't they just do addition like we learned??" Someone sensible will usually point out that people who are good at arithmetic will often use decomposition on harder problems if they're doing them in their head.
The teaching algorithms are pedagogical tools used to increase understanding or illustrate problems from different perspectives, not the final here's-the-algorithm-you-should-always-use".
I said that the 5x3 answer being marked wrong was likely due to a poorly educated teacher. No, primary school children probably won't be multiplying anything non-commutative soon. That was a joke. However, it is important not to instill, and then spend years reinforcing, incorrect facts. You shouldn't tell students things like "multiplication is defined as commutative" because that kind of thing will eventually screw someone up.
Even if it is in the largest font size, is the average person even going to understand what the ramifications are?
No, but it would let people who care know, and it would let people who potentially care google and find out.
My question is, why only 10 hours a month!?!? I'm sure that's the only reason it's free, but that should also alleviate some of the bandwidth usage concerns.
I would tend to assume that if you pay you get more, so it's just a trial version, and this is just an indirect slashvertisement.
There really needs to be an international age verification working group that spends the next five years coming up with a system, then pressures everyone to implement it.
I don't think creating a centralized world ID database is going to be a win at this point.
OS/2 had no security features needed for multiuser support. It might as well have been classic MacOS. Citrix had a multiuser version of OS/2 with security tacked on, but it wasn't a realistic solution and was never popular. Building an OS without security was the moronic decision that killed it. Plus IBM never did anything meaningful to promote it so nobody cared. That it was used anywhere (especially in ATMs) was a horrible decision itself because of the lack of security features and has created untold woes. Maybe nobody ever got fired because they bought IBM, but they should have.
It is neither right or wrong
It's wrong. The processor has a feature. People will reasonably assume they can use that feature. Then they find out it's disabled.
assuming the features or lack thereof is declared upfront.
If that declaration is not in the largest font size used in the materials then it's hidden.
