Leave it to a .ml user to ignore all context…

The US currently employs “volunteer” troops, but also requires all male citizens to register for a future draft. Many living veterans were drafted. And many others were in vulnerable situations that recruiters recognized and preyed upon. Once you join the US military, it’s a crime to quit.

There is clearly some nuance needed when taking about US war veterans.

I don’t think any cops have been drafted into police service. They also don’t go to jail if they quit their job. And I haven’t heard of police recruiters using predatory tactics and targeting disadvantaged groups. The military does, or has done, all of those things to recruit troops.

That’s a new one, kids called it “paper view” when I was growing up. It’s pay-per-view, and you could get it on cable and satellite too.

I’m not a lawyer, but I know they can put enough leins on a property to take possession of it. I’m pretty sure police will also forcefully remove someone who’s violating civil trespassing laws, but again, not a lawyer.

Local ordinances can also make things like camping on private property illegal. That would be at the city level, but really an HOA is just another form of local government so I’d argue that counts too.

Yeah, racism is considered normal in many parts of the world and you wouldn’t have a progressive spouse/partner, they’d both be racist.

Local ordinances and HOA CC&Rs can make it illegal to live on your own land unless you meet certain requirements, like having a specific type of permanent building (eg. no manufactured homes).

IMO some people take this too literally. Just because you want to be treated a certain way doesn’t mean other people want to be treated that way.

Depression isn’t the same thing as sadness, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it disqualifies someone from being an astronaut. Most people don’t have depression, but everyone feels sadness at some point in their lives.

To answer your question, astronauts are trained to work under extreme stress, so they would know how to compartmentalize the pain and focus on completing the mission. Similar to soldiers.

Not entirely true… If you write libraries for other developers you can use them as beta testers. Your customers have a production environment, but you don’t. At least, that’s what one of our vendors seems to think…

If they send 2 emails per subdomain per year, that could easily be 10s of millions which would make the cost per email measured in thousandths of a cent. And I could see the number of subdomains being larger by a factor of 10, maybe more.

Another angle: someone with IT experience needs to manage the system that seems emails, and other engineers need to integrate other systems with the email reminder system. The time spent on engineering could easily add up to thousands per year, if not tens of thousands.

I’m guessing their figure is based on both running costs and engineering costs.

If your server goes down you’ll miss incoming emails, and IMO residential ISP and power service isn’t reliable enough for your main email address. If mail can’t get delivered people get the impression you gave them a fake email address, which can be more than embarrassing.

It’s the only service I don’t self-hosted, although I do backup my email on my home server. Email protocols don’t tolerate downtime, if your server is temporarily unreachable you won’t get messages and people will probably assume the email address/domain isn’t even valid.

I’m happy to question my own biases, but only when the other party is willing to act in good faith. You clearly aren’t. I checked, and none of your other posts in this thread cite sources that disprove what I’ve said.

Oops, I didn’t realize I was posting on ML. That’s my bad, I should have expected this bias.

For the record, I don’t see any evidence or sources in your responses to me.

Have nice day.

I understand the subject well enough to know you can’t back up your claims with evidence. You clearly have an agenda here…

“It’s possible, you just have to train your own model.”

Which is almost as much work as you would have to do if you were to start from scratch.

That doesn’t mean it’s straightforward, or even possible, to entirely remove the censorship that’s baked into the model.

You don’t have to use the same unit in all situations. Just ask the British.
