Websites have false positives all the time and while it sucks, it's infeasible for them to have human reviewers checking everything and it's better to have false positives than false negatives... What isn't acceptable is that the appeals process uses the exact same models as the flagging process so it gets the exact same false positives and false negatives...

Pic related as it was one of the first to reveal how broken the appeals process in most social media platforms was.

Most places is a stretch... They're invasive in around ⅓ of Earth's land area and where less than ¼ of people live

So you're caving to people who are trying to force their sociolinguistic ideas on the speakers of a different language?

It's not you that's being racist/ethnocentric/xenophobic/imperialist... If you were conversing in Spanish then sure, it'd be Estadounidense/Estados Unidos but in English it's American/America and to try and force either one to change would be cultural imperialism

Theoretically, I guess... But my argument came when introducing the laws of physics into the world of the infinite hotel, but there comes a point where the movement is small enough that the electron orbits are unaffected when the atom next to them "moves" therefore there's functionally no movement.

You're not a criminal who goes around breaking the laws of physics like the rest of those "mathematician" types are you?

The Italian economy always used to be on par with UK, France, Germany, but look at it now...

Yeah true, plus I bought my a770 at pretty much half price during the whole driver issues and so eventually got a 3070 performing card for like $250, which is an insane deal for me but no way intel made anything on it after all the rnd and production costs

The main reason Intel can't compete is the fact CUDA is both proprietary and the industry standard, if you want to use a library you have to translate it yourself which is kind of inconvenient and no datacentre is going to go for that

Same for May in UK and probably a fair few former territories, but I think some places get two days off (Spain?) which may be even better

edit: the UK actually should be yellow here, as there's no Labour Day at all, but there is a public holiday on the 1st Monday in May, whereas green means Labour Day exists but can't fall on 1st May

It's always in the term after mismanagement that the effects are felt, eg. in the UK how the tories are raising funding sky high for everything, then will inevitably blame Labour for both underspending and making cuts when they get in later this year

Reason 3674 why representative democracy absolutely sucks

Shellfish already beat us too it!!!

They've been enacting a conspiracy to release billions of tons of a metal so hazardous it explodes on contact with water into our oceans, and they've been at it for millions of years with nobody to stop them

A rough estimate for global life expectancy. It's actually slightly over 73, so the chances of dying in a car accident are marginally higher than I said.

The data I used wasn't related to driving frequency or age, it was purely the number of people in a random global sample of 100,000 people you would expect to die in a car accident in a given year. That of course includes people of all ages and people who never drive at all, but also taxi & HGV drivers. Even if we say people aren't in cars so much under the age of 5 or over the age of 60, that would push up the deaths per 100,000 people per year between 5 and 60 by the exact amount to keep the chance per year over a human lifetime at 17.4/100000.

However that's an issue with the legal system rather than anything else and could also exist without capitalism - it's possible for the legal system to be dominated by any powerful entity from corporations to the state to unions depending on the political system, and if you don't have enough sway within one of those powerful entities then tough luck

Copyrights and patents
Used to collect the products of another person's labor

If you ask me it's the exact opposite... Copying someone else's work with no benefit to them removes a big driver for innovation.

This also only really applies with corporations - you could in theory have everyone be self-employed in a capitalist society
