I feel that. I did my undergrad out in Pittsburgh and picked up 'yinz' (like y'all) while I was out there. Now yinz and yous guys (chicago-ism) do battle in my head and I never know which is going to leave my mouth
The thing is, the line here wasn't some moral conflict. From what I understand, she's mad because the republicans wouldn't back her senate run. All this was ok with her as long as she continued to have a political career.
Not part of a musical group, but he does appear to be a musician:
Chris Austin Hadfield (born August 29, 1959) is a Canadian retired astronaut, engineer, fighter pilot, musician, and writer.
During his free time on Expedition 35, Hadfield recorded music for an album, using the Larrivée Parlor guitar previously brought to the ISS.
His collaboration with Ed Robertson of Barenaked Ladies and the Wexford Gleeks, Is Somebody Singing?—sometimes shortened I.S.S.—was aired on the CBC Radio program Q and released by CBC Music online on February 8, 2013.
Hadfield has been credited musically on his brother Dave Hadfield's albums.
If they want to do things to reduce their total consumption, great. I also do things to reduce my energy consumption, and thereby lower my electric bill, like installing LED lights and using a 'smart' thermostat to more efficiently manage my heat/air system. Is that laudable?
At no point should the cost burden for their actions have fallen on residential electric customers. The things they are doing are the bare minimum, and likely more for PR than any sense of responsibility- Towns are starting to chase out data centers for the myriad problems associated with the data center boom. I don't see any reason to credit them for this.
Web browsers like Firefox don't need AI built-in, regardless of whether it's a local model or through one of the big slop companies. LLM usage is not a base requirement for browsing the web, and thus should not be part of the core product.
If people want them, detection tools and the like should be offered as extensions that users can choose to add.
From what I understand, this is something a German tabloid speculated on and the world ran with it. There's currently no evidence this actually happened.
"This wild rumor started off a few weeks ago from pure hearsay," FIS spokesperson Bruno Sassi told The Associated Press. "There has never been any indication, let alone evidence, that any competitor has ever made use of a hyaluronic acid injection to attempt to gain a competitive advantage."
The ideology you push isn't inherently compliant or not, that really makes no sense.
However, I want to be be abundantly clear: it doesn't really matter if you're breaking the law or not, what you've proposed is fucking annoying to people.
I, by virtue of having previously lived and been registered to vote in a swing state, am bombarded by anywhere from 10-30 phone calls and a few dozen texts at random hours every day by people like you who have supposedly good intentions. It wakes me up in the middle of the night and interrupts me at work. During election season, those numbers reach into the hundreds. There's no escape, and some days I can only use my phone in do not disturb mode, except then my family and friends can't get ahold of me. It's to the point where I'm strongly considering changing my number, despite the significant inconvenience that comes with that. That's what you are proposing doing to people. DON'T FUCKING DO THAT.
If people specifically sign up to get information from you, then it's not spam. However, consent is not binding for all time. People can change their minds, so you have to include a mechanism for them to opt out.
The CAN-SPAM Act in the US defines the national standards for the sending of commercial e-mail, but doesn't really go so far as to explicitly define what is and isn't spam.
Unsolicited calls, texts, emails, or physical mail. If people didn't specifically sign up to receive information from you, then it's unsolicited and almost always unwanted.
Would you care to share this supposed publication? A link, DOI number, or even the title of the paper would do.
