No, being a member of a “terrorist organization” and the government allows itself latitude in defining that. It’s much easier to associate someone with an organization than to show personal acts of terrorism.
Right but to demonstrate that you lied about X they have to demonstrate X. So by the time you're deporting someone for the lie you could just as easily have deported them for the thing itself.
But the method of due process may be different, and the standard of proof to meet may be different. Revoking a visa is easier for the executive branch to accomplish.
Having formerly been a member of a terrorist group is different from currently being in one - it may not be illegal, but lying about it is a deportable offence.
You're making assumptions the thing they lied about and the thing they are being deported for are the same, and quite often the thing you're actually being deported for is not a reason to deport anyone at all.
You come to the US and make a social media post saying Trump is a big fat dummy head.
You get deported for lying about being in a terrorist organization.
This pattern of government behavior is everywhere. One common one is the yellow sheet (form 4473) for buying a firearm in the US.
Here is an example of a question
> “Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?”
No matter the state law, federal law says it's illegal.
So, what happens. At some point you buy a gun in Colorado. Then lets say you get on the news and talk about legalization, or you talk about anything that catches social media popularity and someone in the government doesn't approve of. Well, you better not have any record of a marijuana purchase anywhere, or pictures of you doing it because you've just committed a federal crime and the ATF/FBI can kick down your door as they please.
But is insulting the president evidence of being in a “terrorist organisation” ?
I thought free speech was the one principle that is untouchable in the US
Member of a terrorist organization. Did you protest for Palestine action? Then you're a member of a terrorist organization, and they don't have to prove you did any terrorism or planned any terrorism. It's a form of thoughtcrime.
> Windows cheats here because it also manages BIOS updates
Is this (relatively) new?
I don't use TPM and I rarely update BIOS unless I really need to, but I thought there was an option on my BIOS/UEFI to use USB drive to update it. How would Windows know about it?
Window can get BIOS updates through windows update, if the OEM participates and packages them. I haven't seen BIOS updates through windows update on my systems where I built it from components, I've only seen it on integrated systems from major builders (HP, Lenovo, etc).
The BIOS update instructions for my retail packaged motherboard indicate to turn off BitLocker before doing upgrades to prevent loss of TPM turning into a loss of access, but it'd be easier if it were automated.
You can update with a USB drive, but if you have bitlocker enabled and don't temporarily disable it before the BIOS update, you'll need to reformat and reinstall Windows.
I believe you can also get it from your online Microsoft account if that's what you logged in with once. I ran into this a while ago and had to do it that way. I didn't even know I'd set up Bitlocker.
Notch (the original creator of Minecraft) mentioned he got inspired by DF:
> Infiniminer is the main inspiration for the blocky design and the terrain deforming. Dwarf Fortress is the main inspiration for the survival game mode, and this is where I want to take the majority of the gameplay.
> I had this great idea to apply for a job at Mojang as working on Minecraft might be very inspiring. I didn't get any reply, and later on, I decided to try to make something on my own.
Offtopic: could people that write news titles please learn how to capitalize words? Or can we make sure that at AI will know it, when most of news are written by it?
Took me 3 tries to parse the title.
"Rivian Joins Forces" - is that name of an organization? - "with Tesla"... nope, that doesn't make sense.
"Rivan Joins forces" (somebody to do something), syntax error got "with".
"Rivan joins forces with Tesla" - yay!
And you know that person who wrote this knows about lowercase, because of "with" and "for"...
The article is titled correctly per most style guides:
Generally speaking, AP style uses title case for headlines, which means all words are capitalized except for certain short words, such as articles and short prepositions.
In AP style, headlines capitalize the first word, proper names, or proper abbreviations, verbs, pronouns, adjectives, and adverbs.
Words that should not be capitalized include:
Articles (a, an, the)
Short (fewer than 5 letters)
Coordinating Conjunctions (and, but, for)
Prepositions (at, by, from, etc.)
What you say about AP style is not quite correct. Actually, AP uses sentence case for headlines. Title case is only used for composition titles, i.e., the titles of books, movies, plays, etc.
Don't be so smug. This title follows the AP style guide for headlines, which is the norm. So it's not so much that "people that write news titles" need to learn to capitalize words, it's that you need to learn how to read them.
It's often confusing to native speakers as well, especially in a domain like this where words like "join" and "force" can easily be used as buzzwords.
Title case makes a certain limited sense in newspapers. But on HN, where most articles don't use the title case even when the underlying media do use it, there is a lot of potential for confusion.
I've never understood the point of this. This capitalization standard carries no information. How many nouns in German can also be other parts of speech? It is easy to learn, but how useful is it?
Many nouns have forms shared by corresponding adjectives and verbs. Some words are overloaded in other ways (e.g. pronouns and nouns). It actually happens quite often and I'd say it helps clear up confusion.
I think "with" should be capitalized but "for" should not. I believe AP style guide says that propositions that are four or more letters should be capitalized.
A personal target I have is that I compare my intelligence to an LLM by seeing if it correctly interprets things people say that I have trouble with. In this way, I can see where the LLMs are beating me. I had no trouble with this headline but had I had trouble, I would conclude that ChatGPT-3.5 is smarter than I am on headline interpretation, because it interprets the headline concordant with the story first time.
In this model, I would judge myself as less able to extract information from other humans than ChatGPT. I believe that the ability to extract signal is a good marker of intelligence. Low-spec intelligences often require high-precision: they are more like formal language parsers than natural language parsers and are therefore less sophisticated.
As a non-native English speaker I was confused by the need to capitalize so many words (but not all) in headers. I make frequent use of https://capitalizemytitle.com/ to make sure that I follow some type of standard.
You can't sign stuff without crypto (unless you mean by hand, on paper). Cryptographic signatures by design involve cryptography.
I know what you both meant, just playing with words, sorry. I just hope now that the dust has settled, we can go back to the world where "crypto" meant "cryptography", not anything else[1]
Sure. I just mentioned crypto because that's what I'm familiar with, and there's already some infrastructure in place to facilitate it. But you will likely need to sign messages posted online - crypto or with your encryption key.
If username is an e-mail then an app probably checks if e-mail domain has configured single sign on (SSO) and, if it has, it redirect you to your company authentication server instead of asking for password.
Interesting. I have 2 endpoints (login and get settings) I use for testing in a desktop app and sometimes firing up insomnia for that project is a hassle. But rider has that rest client too so maybe I’ll try it for this one thing.
