The empire covered something like 20% of the entire worlds landmass. If they spent time in school for every part of it which went on to become something noteworthy, they'd run out of time for any other history at all.
The foundation of the US really isn't as important to the rest of the world as the US thinks it is
An experimental capability being kicked out of the kernel, so that it has to settle for being a kernel module or custom forks of the kernel, is absolutely a minor matter
This is a non-issue, being over-reported by people looking for clicks. A minor technical matter being handled by the person ultimately responsible for handling such things
Israel and trump appear to be claiming to have defeated the Iranian air defense, and achieve air supremacy over the Iranian capital.
If that's true then Iran is in deep trouble, and inviting them to surrender wouldn't be unreasonable. I very much doubt that it is true, but that's what they seem to believe
It's far harder to achieve mass manipulation of the ballot when it's all being handled by a lot of human hands. If it's managed by computers, then by finding a bug or other vulnerability in the software or database you could alter the whole election.
Meanwhile, to manipulate a paper ballot & hand-counted election in the same way you'd need the cooperation of a huge number of people, and you'd need them all to keep their mouths shut. That's far more difficult than defeating a computerised system
That really isn't how that works. The US has declared that they won't allow the international courts to get involved, but that doesn't necessarily prevent those courts from disagreeing.
"Jurisdiction" is only a thing when a court answers to some higher authority who has limited what that court can do. Since the international courts theoretically don't answer to the US government, they can make any ruling they like.
They're unlikely to bother, since they probably won't be in a position to enforce any ruling against typical foot soldiers, but they absolutely could if it came to that point
It probably wouldn't be cheaper, and certainly not if one of your requirements is that the code actually work.
AI companies are all operating on the idea that they can get the technology to work in the way that they need before they run out of funding and/or customers. In reality ther are virtually no legitimate uses for it as it currently exists, or will exist in the near future, so these companies are trying to keep up appearances by lying. Either they lie about their use of AI, or they lie about how reliable or effective their AI is, and they count on their sales teams and investors to keep the lights on despite that
The point is that people are going to see that the post was edited, because most platforms will tell them, and the poster is saying "yeah, it's edited. Don't worry, the meaning hasn't changed".
Asking how you'd tell if they were lying is really missing the point. It's not evidence being presented in a court of law, it's social etiquette.
Handshakes date from a time when the person you're meeting having a knife they intend to stab you with was a serious concern, so the custom of grasping each others dominant hand to say "look, I'm not holding a knife" became popular. Doesn't stop people from having a weapon in their other hand, but would you say handshakes are pointless?
Sure you can, but there's a lot of etiquette which was originally supposed to signal trustworthiness which liars fake all the time. That doesn't stop it from being considered polite
It's polite to justify and/or summarise an edit, because many platforms label edited posts and it helps reassure everyone that the conversation they're reading really happened.
There's a big difference between "edit to totally change what was said and make everyone responding to me look like fools or racists" and "edit to correct a typo"
That's an implementation detail, not really relevant to my point.
I don't think you appreciate how powerful those magnets are. Any ferromagnetic object would be doing well to avoid binding up completely when held right up to the device
We really don't. Our history curriculum is much more concerned with ancient history. As far as I can remember, we spent a little time on the colonisation of the Americas then didn't mention them again until the world wars.
