I don’t tip as well. But I live in a civilised country where everyone gets at least a tolerable minimum wage. No one is paying me extra money just for doing my job. So I won’t either. If they want more, they need to talk to their employer. It’s not my responsibility.

Would I live in the United States of Idiots though, where a severe lack of ethical economic behaviour is observable, I indeed would tip the waiters, as that’s sadly their financial lifeline.

because some bureaucratic board has been bullied into being quiet about it

That’s a bold thing to claim.

They are not quiet about this.

And yes, until there is sufficient proof for the genocide allegations and/or the ICJ rules it as such, I can’t confidently say for myself that it’s genocide.

There is a tremendous amount of work invested in this case by people much more qualified than you or me.

Still, from my side this is in no way a justification for the cruel deaths of so many innocents. Civilian casualties are in no way tolerable for me.

That’s indeed unbelievably cruel.

This does not constitute a genocide though.

Humans are not made to kill other humans. And those who fight the wars of the mighty, are those who are among the ones who suffer the most.

War is really stupid. And it’s astonishing how we continue to be such a stupid species. Given how far we’ve come, one would think that we’ve finally realized how much humanity could achieve if we were working together instead of killing each other.

By the way:

It’s obvious that what Israel is doing is very much a genocide

The international court of justice has not ruled on this yet, but continues to observe and investigate whether such genocide allegations could apply.

However, I am not a fan of anyone who practises or participates in wars and so easily tolerates the deaths of innocents.

Is this actually confirmed? Do we have a source on that? Or is it just a rumour as Lucas and his team often drew inspiration for the design from everyday objects?

I love those catchy titles. It’s not something like “The Molecular Basis of Taste Perception in Mammals: A Comprehensive Review and Future Perspectives on Taste Receptors in Male Reproduction”

Nah, they go with: “Taste perception: from the tongue to the testis”

Short and concise to the point. Scientists have a sense of humorous wordplays after all.

No, it’s a surgeon who is trained to use robotic assistance tools to do the surgery. Can help with precision for example.

Balls no taste. Taste IN balls not “on” balls. Taste not really “taste” like tongue, but rather sense how is sperm doing and tell body.

When deputies first arrived at the scene, they realized the restaurant’s doors were locked, despite employees still being inside. The employees unlocked the doors for the deputies and explained that many upset customers would act out violently or even resort to talking, so they were just trying to be safe, according to the video.

Oh no, the customers might resort to talking! Quick! Lock the doors!

For the non-roboticists: SLAM = Simultaneous Localization And Mapping.

In robot navigation problems we often face the problem to get a grasp of the environment and the robot’s position in it. It’s easier if there’s already a map provided and some sort of external observer who knows where the robot is relative to the map.

Since people don’t usually go into your home to map it out and install some sensors in order to locate the robot, SLAM is the way to go. While moving through an environment, a map of the environment is created and by utilzing some fancy techniques based on sensor data like from cameras, mic+loudspeaker, LIDAR or whatever, it is possible to also infer the robot’s position.

Did you sue them?

OpenShot. But that’s a video editor and not a conventional video player per se.

media player that plays almost everything

What doesn’t it play?

God forbid people have some self expression

They do indeed forbid it.

10 "If you go to battle against your enemies, and the LORD your God delivers them into your control, you may take some prisoners captive. 11 If you see among the prisoners a beautiful woman and you desire her, then you may take her as your wife. 12 Bring her to your house, but shave her head and trim her nails

Deuteronomy 21

Oh man, religions are batshit crazy.

Probably has to be renamed to “ClosedAI” then.

Rebranding a Markov Chain stapled onto a particularly large graph

Could you elaborate how this applies to various areas of AI in your opinion?

Several models are non-markovian. Then there are also a lot of models and algorithms, where the description as or even comparison to Markov-chains would be incorrect and not suitable.

The level of your argumentation:
Are you a firefighter or a medical doctor? If not, you’re obviously in favour of fires, death and disease.
Why aren’t you donating all of your stuff to homeless people? Or are you happy all those people don’t have a home?
Why aren’t you saving the world already???

You know, demanding change and maybe showing some sort of protest does not mean you need to do those things exactly as you would like to see them, especially if those efforts wouldn’t change anything on the larger scale and rather lead to a bunch of problems in your life.

Reading through the comments here makes one thing apparent again: clear and direct communication about one’s intentions can solve all of these misunderstandings. Being upfront will avoid that unnecessary “are they into me or not” over-analasys or missing such more or less subtle hints at all.

If you’re interested in someone, go for them! Tell them about your interest. It benefits you both. They’ll know, which can help in case they’re interested as well, and you’ll know what to expect whether they’re interested or not. This can also save you a lot of time, heart- and headache.

Where do you get this attitude that everything should be provided to you for free and you’re entitled to it?

From (non-capitalistic) utopic ideas, where humans try to be excellent to each other.
