It's a pain in the arse to do it on mobile.

If I had to search a reference from every arrogant prick online, I'd have no time for anything else. You make an assertion, you back it up, simple. It ain't your work.

I will say thank you for the source. It's a good one. Could have saved so much time if you just shared the link. Does seem that ease was not then plan. Your fragile ego needs to try and lord it over random strangers online. I'll help you with that. You're so wise and smart. So adult. I hope one day your self esteem gets to the point where you don't need this song and dance.

You question my maturity, when you sulk/tantrum when folk ask for a source... You wouldn't survive in academia. Too insecure and defensive.

I wasn't even OP. You were just wrong and I had same question.

Your point about knowing search engines is irrelevant.

Please, provide a source, or we can only assume you're talking out of your backside which by your response seems a reasonable conclusion.

You quote, and don't provide source. Your post is incomplete.

Surely missing that process, you forget error handling. As you write, its consistently, what if this is null, what if the input is like x. There are many questions you should ask yourself and if you AI it, you'll forget.

Thanks. You do realise it's an official role parties need to have. Selection will likely be done by members like everything else.

In Labour, under Corbyn, selection was run by local parties and there is no reason to assume it wouldn't be the same.

There seems to be an active process to discredit left-wing parties. Allowing folk to to that let's them win.

I'm not saying you have to like the guy, but every large party has absolute dickheads in. You ignore them and they'll mostly be irrelevant. His position and influence is being blown up to look like he has more influence than JC which is ridiculous.

Source on candidate selectons?

Plus, the guy might be in the wrong, but he's one person and isn't in charge of policy. Before long, he'll be irrelevant. Unfortunatelybtransphobe fucks exist in all parties. Gotta drag the fucks along and edge out when they no longer relevent.

These attack lines are always brought out to attack left wing movements. Before long, Reform have won and shit is far worse. We cannot allow perfect to be the enemy of good.

UK Age Verification Data Confirms What Critics Always Predicted: Mass Migration To Sketchier Sites (www.techdirt.com)
 

A month old now, but it's important on the unnecessary surveillance creep we keep having. First this, then digital ID.

Worrying levels of authoritarianism that solves nothing. Government are supposed to represent us, not ignore us and treat us like children. Who are they working for?

BBC apologises after Robert Jenrick accused of xenophobia (www.bbc.co.uk)

On Wednesday, Dr Kandiah, founder of refugee charity The Sanctuary Foundation, referred to a Mail on Sunday article written by Jenrick this weekend.

He quoted a line from the Conservative politican that said: "I certainly don't want my children to share a neighbourhood with men from backward countries who broke into Britain illegally and about whom we know next to nothing."

Dr Kandiah continued: "These words echo a fear many have absorbed – fear of the stranger. The technical name for this is xenophobia. All phobias are, by definition, irrational. Nevertheless, they have a huge impact.

xenophobia "extreme dislike or fear of foreigners, their customs, their religions, etc."

Sorry, I'm confused. BBC apologising for accurate reporting? Accurately calling out racism?

Still got a Tory appointed chairman and many board members. I remember when they used to attempt to be impartial.

Looks like the UK is leading the world by shamelessly sacrificing AI safety at the altar of Trump. Appeasement never works and we have gone backwards towards again being spineless lapdogs in this special relationship.

I remember when we shamelessly followed them in supporting the Iraq war via a sexed up document.

AI can be very error prone and has the potential to be seriously dangerous. It has been said to be used for military purposes and when life and death is in the hands of a computer's decision, who is going to take responsibility for this? Dangerous. We need protections.

We may be on the wrong side of history here. Cowardly from Keir's Labour. I wonder if we traded this for zero tariffs.

Gaza Strip in maps: How a year of war has drastically changed life in the territory (www.bbc.co.uk)

Analysis from the BBC (who are usually quite motivated and effective at justifying Israel actions).

The sheer devastation is incredible. 66% of buildings damaged. 90% of the population displaced. Water and sanitation systems non-functional. 53/500 needed lorries entering the territory per day (down from 142). They're not even trying to look they're helping now. The population have been squeezed into over-populated tent cities.

It feels like they think if they create the conditions for disease and it kills people, they don't get blamed.

To me, it's hard to think of a way this could get closer to genocide. Absolutely sick.

Israel seem to be galvanised by inaction of the world and probably looking to do the same in Lebanon. Is Yemen after? Where does this stop?
