Rubbish. You make it absolutely clear from day one that they will be graded on work produced under exam conditions written on paper, with pens and no electronic devices in the room. After that, it's up to them.

Re: Bah

Re-write history why don't you. The crash of 2008 was caused by the US government forcing mortgage lenders to lend to people who weren't going to pay it back. Remember the term 'sub-prime mortgages'? Everything else followed from that.

Re: Privacy at a public gathering?

DefCon isn't a public gathering. You have to buy a ticket and agree to their terms and conditions. Walking down a high street is public and there is bugger all you can do about being filmed there.

Re: Where's the beef?

Dammit! Someone let the communist out.

Re: Disappointing

Environmental protection lawyers will have their piece of flesh first.

Chinese researchers, or paid by PRC.

Re: The word you are looking for

Badly? That's an odd way of spelling 'better than any nation in the history of the human race.'

Re: Total C-Suite fail

"Yes it's possible to opt out of all this stuff, but it's incredibly difficult to do."

Piece of piss for me. Don't watch TV, don't own a TV.

Re: adults have learned critical thinking?

Capable? Your world is weird.

Cosplayers

These people are cosplaying revolution. They will have zero actual effect on policy or businesses but cause lots of real harm and frustration to normal people. Utter scum, the lot of them.

Re: Hopefully this excludes collectibles.

It's called Brexit. Or Polexit. Ot Hunexit. Or...

Re: The first but not the last

I have been in Tesco's three times now when some shit-wit did a grab and scram. If security were allowed to intervene physically, we wouldn't have this problem.

Re: Hiding behind morals

So you think 'anti-immigration nonsense' should be censored? Do you not believe in democracy then?

Re: Cottage industry of tax justice advocacy

Corporations do not pay tax. It's just a cost of business that is passed on to the consumer. All these idiots are saying is: we want to pay more tax.

Re: Civil Service

Nope. The civil service are just fucking incompetent.

Re: "young earth creationists believe it’s 600 years old."

Why is it that almost all the worst (pseudo)religious whackjobbery originates in the US, and mostly a small subset of states at that ?

You have a very short memory.

Re: Mixed feelings

"I don't know what motivates major editors"

Those that control the past, control the future.

Do ou have any evidence of this?

Re: Value

Adverts? What adverts?

Re: always amuses me…

You understand that by forcing you to use AI, they are testing whether they can get rid of you completely?

If you think the internet is just a "big advertising machine and/or spy tool" and "political hate bating and celebrity/streamer style drama ragging", you're doing it wrong.

Re: Simple solution.

English Common vs The Code Napoleon. Again.

Re: Where's the Popcorn?

"...Reform are now campaigning to ‘keep Starmer in’."

and

"...he is so utterly hated by the general public as to be utterly toxic."

I see no contradiction here.

Re: Maybe "move fast and break things" isn't the right method...

You think you know better than SpaceX? The SpaceX which is about three months away from having launched more satellites than everybody else combined, ever? I think they know what they're doing.

Re: £86.3 million

It's a drop in the ocean of UK government spending and the royal family bring in far more to the UK economy. Cheap at twice the price.

Re: "My enemies are bad people"

This works both ways, of course.

How to tell me you're a communist without admitting you're a communist.

Re: Analyzing for control

But when a Democrat owned Dominion it wasn't a problem? Hypocrite.

Re: The free ride is nearly over for so-called AI.

They're scared shitless they're going to get left behind. It doesn't mean it's going anywhere.
