I'm saying exactly the opposite. Your example statement being equivalent to the one I gave would imply that white people face more harassment, which isn't the case.

It's a group of cells on a plate? What is there here that would be illegal? This isn't any different than growing some rat intestinal lining cells in a petri dish.

That's not really an equivalent statement. In general, women do face more harassment and unwanted touching, which often doesn't translate to the "white" example you give.

Mostly to make a point; more people are likely to care about it not being okay if it's phrased that way. (Something, something, toxic masculinity, "suck it up tough guy, can't handle a little pat-down?")

The fact that the TSA agent a woman doesn't automatically make someone else comfortable with whatever liberties the agent feels like taking. It's still likely worse if it's a man doing it, but sharing a gender isn't an excuse for the agent to do whatever they want.

It was a female agent, that doesn't mean that it's okay to start groping someone without warning.

Not shocking they seem to have pretty low professional standards. I recently had a friend travelling from the US back to Canada get suddenly thoroughly frisked without warning after the scanners showed some object near her thighs. She didn't have anything but clothes on her body on below the waist. The TSA agent spent time groping around, convinced there was something, then after there couldn't possibly have been an object under her clothes, accepted that (paraphrasing) "there must have been an issue with the scanner".

She called her partner (who I was with at the time) afterwards, upset and shaken by the experience. @TSA in one of the NYC airports: If you're not going to get consent to grope girls, at least let them know that you're about to do it.

Who would think that? At every corporation where I've worked it's been explicit in both the contract and in HR training that this is explicitly not allowed.

I was chatting with an old classmate at a homecoming a few months ago, and he mentioned that, during the polygraph top get Canadian Top Secret clearance for a co-op job, he had to say how many drinks he had each week. Being a university student, it got brushed aside, but the answer was considered to be alcoholism-level.

Interesting, but I am very sceptical. I'd be interested in seeing actual verified results of how it handles a road with heavy snow, where the only lane references are the wheel tracks of other vehicles, and you can't tell where the road ends and the snow-filled ditch begins.

The issue is that it's no longer actually RISC-V M at the point, you're changing the instruction set. If you're compiling RISC-V M code, that doesn't need the extra NOP.

That being said, the disabling of MUL is being done at a software project level here, not by the CPU vendor. It's in the same linked commit that added in the NOP instructions to the arithmetic routines.

Why would that be any better of a defense than "that preschooler said that I should do it"? People are responsible for their work.

This particular topic is covered in the "Are there billions of fake people?" section of the linked article.

That's not a reasonable solution. Have you used the Patreon app? I use it regularly on Android, and have dozens of audio podcast files downloaded through it.

I use mine at Costco for purchases over $300 (limit for tap). At least here in Canada, they only accept Mastercard, not Visa, and I don't remember the PIN for my Mastercard.

Given how many of these stories have been coming out, I'm sure they're considering it.

Ah, great, they're copying the worst part of the Play Store. I use Android, and avoid opening the Play Store unless I already know exactly what I'm looking for, it has been enshitified to within a centimeter of its life.

I would actually spend more money through the Play Store if it wasn't such an awful user experience.

I personally don't need a bunch of screens of widgets. I've got my first screen of the 17 apps I use the most, a clock/weather widget, and the app drawer button to bring up the (iconized) app list. On the second screen a have a widget for an app used to share pictures with friends.

Launchers are personal, so Niagara works for you that's great! But for my use having everything is a single column is a nightmare.

Be careful when you get down to "(11) General Interference with Organizations and Production", you might start thinking that your coworkers are CIA saboteurs.

I don't love that Carney is relatively conservative-leaning for being Liberal, but I do really appreciate the fact that he's professional, competent, and stable. He speaks like (what I see as) a regular person and he's not there to whip supporters into fervent chanting.

I'm absolutely relieved that Poilievre didn't win the election (or his original seat). Setting aside just how far to the right he is, I've heard him described as an idiot both by another MP and by someone (who is himself pretty conservative) who met him at some social event.
