    @Aqua-Letifer said in Replacing Journalists with Artificial Intelligence: @Horace said in Replacing Journalists with Artificial Intelligence: You'd think the lefties would admit that pop culture is on their side, by and large. All of it? Absolutely all of it. Globally, you're saying. "by and large" doesn't mean an absolute.

    Yes, I like how binary digits map to the idea of including/excluding things from a set.

    Scrambled, well done, if possible cooked in a little grease leftover from the bacon.

    @89th said in Why are absentee ballots OK and mail in ballots not OK?: Also, I’m surprised we haven’t ventured into online voting yet. Maybe that’d be a bad thing... Abuse, fraud and corruption would be much easier. But what matters is if one side or the other sees an advantage in the fraud.

Roberts Jr. joining the court’s liberals in the 5-to-4 vote. Roberts wrote that state officials such as California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) had leeway to impose restrictions to prevent the spread of coronavirus, and had not singled out places of worship for unfair treatment. ...” https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/Supreme-Court-votes-5-4-to-let-Gov-Newsom-15304978.php

    Thanks, now I could finally replicate your problem, Rainman. I tried it with Edge and Chrome. Edge does this a little bit better. But in both cases, the problem only occurs if there is very little vertical space and plenty of horizontal space (if there's little horizontal space, too, the answer window turns into the "mobile phone" layout). So, you can either force "mobile layout" or allow more vertical space to get a usable emoji window.

    @Rainman said in Emerging Hotspots: I'm watching the riots in several cities this evening. These people are not practicing social distancing. Good thing the pandemic is over, otherwise this could be a catalyst to that exponential growth of the virus in urban areas. Whew! That was a close one. Yeah, but many of them were wearing masks...

    Link to video The entire point of any piece of music is to entertain. The idea of a polka band covering Guns and Roses and then knocking it out of the park like that resulted in something that I found fantastically entertaining.

    Nice, may be some day similar technology can benefit victims of female genital mutilation.
