Gyges posted:So is Florida going to be doing DNA testing on anyone who Gator Country Barney Fife doesn't think looks either masculine or feminine enough for their Driver's License? My understanding is that most if not all of identifying documents already let you change your gender. Realistically here's what I think will happen, based off of exactly what was written on that notice in the tweet: 1. All applications to change the gender stated on the licenses will now cease to be processed. 2. All applications for new licenses (from people just getting their first one) are gonna be checked against the supporting document they provided as part of the application, and at the end of the day the genders should match. 3. They will start to review driver licenses they reissued in the past x years where the only change is the gender field. The memo states that gender, for their purposes, is defined a biological sex, and that it is fraud to misrepresent your gender on your driver's license. 4. They will start to review the applications from step 1 that they stopped processing and also flag those for fraud.

Bellmaker posted:Boeing planes continue to have a shitton of problems. His lawyer said he was found dead in his truck from gunshot wounds. https://www.corporatecrimereporter.com/news/200/boeing-whistleblower-found-dead-in-charleston-after-break-in-depositions/ quote:"Today is a tragic day,” Knowles wrote. “John had been back and forth for quite some time getting prepared. The defense examined him for their allowed seven hours under the rules on Thursday. I cross examined him all day yesterday (Friday) and did not finish. We agreed to continue this morning at 10 a.m. (co-counsel) Rob (Turkewitz) kept calling this morning and his (Barnett’s) phone would go to voicemail. We then asked the hotel to check on him. They found him in his truck dead from an ‘alleged’ self-inflicted gunshot. We drove to the hotel and spoke with the police and the coroner.” It's almost as believable as randomly falling out of a window in Russia.

So that Boeing quality whistleblower who was found dead in his truck the morning he was suppose to finish testifying? Totally normal coincidence right? https://abcnews4.com/news/local/if-...abc-news-4-2024 quote:When Jennifer needed help one day, Barnett came by to see her. They talked about his upcoming deposition in Charleston. Jennifer knew Barnett filed an extremely damaging complaint against Boeing. He said the aerospace giant retaliated against him when he blew the whistle on unsafe practices. Yeah what a strange coincidence.

Bel Shazar posted:Or even stop differentiating based on arbitrary societal norms and find measurable KPIs to group competitors. There are very good reasons to differentiate and have competitions targeting certain groups of people. An example brought up often is chess. People often ask why there are women's only competitions when there appears to be no advantage gained by being a man? In this case being a man is the advantage. For a whole lot of reasons, societal, cultural, norms, etc, being a man is an advantage in and of itself. Men don't systemically get told to stay in the kitchen, and men in general don't have to face the sexism and vitriol that women do when they participate in a male dominated things.

Goatse James Bond posted:My understanding is that the weed rescheduling process is going at pretty much the normal speed of the administrative state. Maybe a bit slower because the DEA is cranky about literally everyone else in the government telling them to reschedule weed, but they're still on the high end of the regular pre-public-comment window. Quoting you cause of the topic, not asking you specifically. Is there anything being done about people driving and smoking weed at the state level? I'm in a newly legal state now and I take public transit, so I walk along the streets or wait at bus stops next to the streets every single day. There has literally never been a single day where no car has driven past me smelling dank af. This isn't hyperbole: I smell at least 1 car driving past me every single day smelling like they just lit up. I'm all for legalization but I seriously don't understand why people feel like it's acceptable to smoke and drive?

It's an older model of 737 though. Not sure if that's better or worse. quote:The plane is an older model of the Boeing 737 than the Max jets. Boeing is under heightened regulatory scrutiny after a January incident when a door plug blew off a nearly new 737 Max 9 when the Alaska Airlines flight was at 16,000 feet, causing a near-catastrophe.

What I do know is that there are a lot of crazy people out there, including someone who was arrested for shooting at cars on the highway on Monday because the eclipse triggered them into thinking god or whoever was telling them to commit light domestic terrorism.

I saw on BBC that 60 out of 96 potential jurors immediately got out of it by saying they could not be impartial. How is it possible for anyone to be impartial when the defendant is a former president and the US has de facto only 2 political parties? I can't see how even the most independent of "independents" could say with a straight face that they can be impartial.

I have no doubt that won't happen, if only because you would have to be the most incompetent person on the planet to bring anything less than an air tight slam dunk case to this trial. But even if we are all going into it like "of course he fuckin did it," I'd still expect them to do their job and I'm not going to side with a bunch of incompetent cops just because Trump deserves it. I would 100% vote guilty the moment the trial started, before hearing any arguments. Possibly before the judge even gets in the room.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:The NHTSA released the findings of their multiyear study of Tesla self-driving safety and found that Tesla FSD was involved hundreds of crashes and dozens of deaths. That's not what the loving article says at all. The report found Autopilot being involved, not Full-Self Driving (FSD). The report "only" found 75 instances where FSD was involved, not "hundreds." What Tesla calls Autopilot is what other companies call things like "Lane Assistance" or the feature where it automatically adjusts your cruise control speed to match the traffic ahead of you. Tesla and Elmo 100% call it Autopilot to mislead drivers. I'm sure you know the distinction between Autopilot and FSD so I'm not sure why you're doing the same thing that Elmo is doing and mixing them up. The entire report seems to be about Autopilot being misleading. [/quote]

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:The title of the article was: Then the article is completely wrong because the report that the article is sourcing does not mention FSD except for just one single time. The report is about crashes involving Autopilot, and FSD was only mentioned as a footnote (it was identified as involved with 75 out of 956 crashes it investigated). quote:Notably, the term “Autopilot” does not imply an L2 assistance feature, but rather elicits the idea of drivers not being in control. This terminology may lead drivers to believe that the automation has greater capabilities than it does and invite drivers to overly trust the automation. Peer vehicles generally use more conservative terminology like “assist,” “sense,” or “team” to imply that the driver and automation are intended to work together, with the driver supervising the automation.

Kchama posted:That would seem to indicate that FSD is part of the 'hundreds of crashes' though. And in fact the report seems to conflate Autopilot and FSD since it is mentioned as a part of the Autopilot crashes. It's not even in a footnote, it's in the chart breaking down the crashes involving Autopilot. It's in there under 'Condition' with 'Frontal Plane Struck Vehicle / Object / Person in travel path' and such. No, the table is saying that the NHTSA investigated 956 crashes total where they thought Autopilot was involved. Of those 956 they excluded 131 because they couldn't determine if Autopilot was involved, 165 because it was the other car's fault, 81 because it wasn't related to Autopilot, 37 for various other reasons, and 75 because it involved FSD not Autopilot. The rest are broken down into Autopilot related conditions. E: Elmo wants the average dumbass to think Autopilot and FSD are the same thing. Don't let him get what he wants.
