No, it’s like banning e.g. Quicken from an accounting competition. Or banning calculators from the AMC. Allowing AI would make the contest meaningless.

The only source I would trust here that you linked is the famous 1998 CJR article. It just points out the misnomer caused by what we call the incident to point out that mass killings happened elsewhere while students were peacefully evacuated from the square itself. Of course I also trust the photos you linked are real. But just like the aforementioned myth (also explored by the CJR article), you perpetuate the myth of the crackdown being on primarily student protests when far far more of the dead were of the inspired workers’ protest, especially those killed as the army was heading into Tiananmen. Such violent crackdowns made it so Deng could not recover his influence until 1992.

Yes, students did stone and kill soldiers and Molotov APCs, including the lynching of (just) one soldier as depicted in the photos. But that does not justify the hundreds of protestors killed with live ammunition. Yes, there was no carnage in the square during the Tiananmen square massacres. Misnomers abound. But as a person I try to get others to understand me in communication. Yes, the “Tiananmen square” part is a misnomer. But who’s gonna understand me if I go about every day saying “June Fourth Incident”? Not to mention a lot of the killings were also committed around 11 PM the previous day.

I also did a bit of a misnomer: It’s dubious whether you could define the mass killings as massacres. My point was that China ordered the army to do what they did. It sounds to me like Kirp was characterizing the other regions’ hatred to blame for what happened around Tiananmen, which hopefully we can agree was not what happened.

China gave orders to massacre, so it’s no surprise they got a massacre.

Since that’s organized under each state they probably feel good about their own states.

sorry buddy but it’s “me” not “mi”…

WIN10 ACRYLIC MENTIONED

I wouldn’t say it’s to enter the games industry. It seems to just integrate into Apple the flagship game of their existing Apple Arcade distribution service and guarantee the indie devs some stability.

RAC7 is a two-person studio whose previous credits include indie titles Dark Echo and Splitter Critters. In 2019, the team released Sneaky Sasquatch as an Apple Arcade exclusive. The adventure game was a breakout hit among the service’s 71 launch titles, according to Apple, and it has received regular updates since launch. Now, the team will continue its partnership with Apple as an internal studio.

hey bikes are orderly!

What’s the news? I don’t trust this guy if he thought it wasn’t known that AI is overdriven pattern matching.

If you redirect it all, it’s not a tiny portion.

The argument is that ICE can always find some rich BlackRock-esque real estate holder that doesn’t give af to host the camp instead if the asker terminates the lease, thus from a utilitarian perspective it’s probably more useful to hold the lease and use the money to lobby against ICE.

I’ll never understand people who apply an extra layer of bold to headings

Isn’t that what the Ethicist column always has been? Philosophy has even historically been a bourgeois subject. (I don’t think people usually put Marxism in philosophy classes.)

Also, I don’t think the response is providing cover. It encourages the question-asker to use this rental income for lobbying against ICE.

She should have obtained her degree in 1959, but at the time she wasn’t allowed to student teach — a requirement for graduation — because she was pregnant with her and her husband’s first of four daughters. But Justin Dimmel, associate dean for the College of Education and Human Development, and other officials determined this year that when Alexander worked as a full-time aide for a preschool program in the early 1980s, that was enough to satisfy the mandate.

The octogenarian graduated with a bachelor of science in education.
