Imane is literally a cis-gender woman and there's no evidence that she is intersex, trans, or anything that indicates non-normative chromosome or hormone production.

It is completely fair for her to compete and it's just right wing people who are trying to claim and decide that she's not womanly enough to be considered a woman.

There are literally no trans people competing in the Olympics this year and only two non-binary competitors. This is all being posed as if the entirety of the Olympics is being skewed by trans competitors when there aren't any and this controversy is just being invented for the sake of affirming control over women.

Even within the field of physics, I find her a little questionable. She stated once that she thinks falsifiability is overrated. That just flys in the face of testability and verification, which opens up room for any untestable theory or hypothesis to take root.

The "problem" is that gender is a spectrum and there doesn't exist any real metric to discern or categorize people into a social binary. Honestly, I'm surprised this topic is even popping up again when I thought this was hashed out several years and Olympics ago when right wingers were bringing this up back then. Trying to categorize and disqualify women by testosterone content just doesn't work. This is all ultimately a method of trying to police and control women's bodies.

In a similar vein, why aren't men looked at in the same manner. Why not say that any particular man either has too much estrogen and is either too womanly or not manly enough to qualify or compete. It's because these people aren't looking for fairness, safety, or any other dog whistle they might cry about. It's all just about controlling women.

If they aren't willing to release it, then the situation is no different from them not having one at all. All these claims openai makes about having whatever system but hiding it, is just tobtry and increase hype to grab more investor money.

Some Ford cars already have camera systems that can recognize speed limit signs and limit cruise control speeds. They could just use that instead of developing something that fines and jails people

It's always been a big deal, it just died down as Photoshop as a tool became normalized and people became accustomed to it as a tool.

I personally am ok with the rounded corners since it makes it more ergonomic to handle. Part of why I got rid of my s22 ultra was the corners bit into my palm whenever I held it with one hand.

As a counterpoint to this articles counterpoint, yes, engineers should still be held responsible, as well as management and the systems that support negligent engineering decisions.

When they bring up structural engineers and anesthesiologists getting "blame" for a failure, when catastrophic failures occur, it's never blaming a single person but investigating the root cause of failures. Software engineers should be held to standards and the managers above them pressuring unsafe and rapid changes should also be held responsible.

Education for engineers include classes like ethics and at least at my school, graduating engineers take oaths to uphold integrity, standards, and obligations to humanity. For a long time, software engineering has been used for integral human and societal tools and systems, if a fuck up costs human lives, then the entire field needs to be reevaluated and held to that standard and responsibility.

It's moreso, unless that tax debt is paid, you're never coming back to the US. Of course, some will say they never will.

I love Julie London's rendition.

I hate articles like this. Implying some sorta of causal relationship with any and all scientific papers that have a correlation between two properties. You can't write that the paper "suggests" lowering body temps would improve depression when the paper only finds a correlation between the two.

How would the original comment encourage either more HOA's or be considered libertarian? Weren't they asking for more regulations and the addition of tax repercussions to disincentivize rental properties?
