Yeah. The bill is about banning the use of AI or other editing to make it looks like candidates or public officials said or did something that did not happen.

I’m not looking to debate how this might be abused or if it is warranted, but the sensationalized headline is very misleading.
I disagree. People already run tires dangerously bald. We shouldn’t attach further economic disincentives to replacing safety critical components.
Napoleon Dynamite
They’re much too crunchy imo. They really hurt my mouth and throat.
The recruiter sent you an inelligible candidate. That’s just as much their problem as it is yours.
Give a man a login and he can scam for a day. Teach a man to phish and he’ll scam for a lifetime.
Hi-lift jacks as well.
Thermal insulation: yes
There’s uncharred wood less than an inch from glowing embers. That temperature differential is kinda insane. Wood is a great thermal insulator. It just happens to also be a fuel.
Get a job at a turkey processing plant.
People focus on Katy Perry as representative of the whole stunt, because she has been portrayed as the main figure all along.
Pop star Katy Perry and five other women safely returned to Earth after reaching space aboard Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin rocket. - BBC article immediately after the flight
They literally pulled a Katy Perry et al. Do you think that framing just happened without any input from KP and her publicists? Did Katy Perry use her ample airtime to credit all the female engineers that actually worked for years made the flight happen, or to correct notions about the flight not actually accomplishing any significant firsts? Katy Perry gladly took the center of the media spotlight, so naturally people use her image as emblematic when ridiculing the stunt. She is a vapid celebrity doing annoying celebrity messaging like “making space and science glam.”
“This is all for the benefit of Earth,” she added.
Katy Perry is an eager participant in the outrageous messaging around the flight. She earned the ridicule, not by being a woman, but by acting ridiculously.
If you have 41 minutes to spare, this rant from a theoretical physicist does a good job explaining why people react negatively to the publicity surrounding the space tourism launch.
A lot of it boils down to the fact that women have been instrumental in traditional space programs all along. Publicizing passengers on a tourism flight as if they are pushing boundaries is insulting to all the professionals who dedicated their careers to actually expanding boundaries. They aren’t even the first all women crew as claimed. Valentina Vladimirovna Tereshkova flew a solo mission on Vostok 6 in 1963
The media messaging on the flight has been terrible and regressive. Complaining about that isn’t misogynistic.
What’s more devestating, the -35% miss on EPS, or the notion that Musk will be spending more time meddling with the company?
The North Carolina legislature has a supermajority of far right republicans. The NC GOP is currently brazenly attempting to throw out legitimate ballots to steal a state supreme court seat, and the courts are going along with it. If they want to move for political concerns, I don’t think NC is enough of an improvement to justify the disruption involved.
Have you ever taken it apart before? I wonder if the liquid metal thermal interface has leaked out or oxidized.
Free federal, $15 state filing and they’ll try to upsell you on some support and audit defense schemes. Overall a pretty decent value for the convenience factor of not having to fill out paper forms, copying, and mailing. Just make sure you pay for the filing fee directly with a card. Do not choose the option to have them take it out of your refund. That incurs an extra $25 fee.
Another way to view it is that college classes are filled with your future colleagues, and should be treated similar to a workplace. Students should generally dress similarly to how they expect to dress in their future workplaces. Whether that excludes a tank top is a matter of discretion, but clearly the proffesor did not find it to be professional. There’s no hard and fast rule, but I am surprised by the indignant tone in the comments here. Lectures are the domain of the professor and its not outlandish for them to set expectations about what they consider acceptable conduct for their lectures.
The issue is that it’s a waste of resources. A dam is harnessing energy from the rainfall over hundreds to thousands of square miles of land area. So the resources required to build it, even though large, are very efficiently used over decades of use.
A tiny system uses orders of magnitude less materials but harvests many orders of magnitude less power. A tiny system probably isn’t going to ever generate more energy than it took to manufacture.
Systems like this are at best a novelty. We need to all be wary of greenwashed scams, and this is one of them.
Hegseth has got to stop leaking his chats.
Is he mad that young adults can stay on their parents’ health plan until age 26?
Little jars are great to hold screws when you need to take something apart to work on it.
