Can someone explain the “Mark of the Beast” thing?

It seems commonly mentioned by US posters, but I’m not from the US and have no context. I know it’s a Bible thing, but I’m always seeing it on posts that have nothing to do with religion, like this one, and I’m lost on what it could mean here.

We who take Aaron’s side

We are in the right, so we don’t have to obscure facts.

Yeah, sounds about right. This isn’t a case of “Google maliciously takes down a Google Maps competitor” like people are saying.

Strategy? You are assuming there was any intent behind it. The reviewers in third world countries are probably spending 30 seconds per app and are bound to make mistakes. Which in this case was reverted.

According to the article police opened fire at the car because she refused to stop when they tried to pull the car over. Which is just as unacceptable (to my European mind it’s ridiculous police carry firearms), but contrary to the title there is no indication what she was wearing had anything to do with it. In fact the article says her windows were tinted so the police couldn’t know what she was wearing.

I guess he can ignore a court summons, but then he can never enter the UK again, which he might want to do at some point.

I’ve been banned because something glitched and posted my comment 10 times instead of once, without my knowledge, so I’ve been banned for spamming.

Not an example of censorship though.

Sure, then it’s Meta that’s lying. Saying the AI is lying is helping these corporations convince people that these models have any intent or agency in what they generate.

Internal documents on how the AI was trained were obviously not part of the training data, why would they be. So it doesn’t know how it was trained, and as this tech always does, it just hallucinates an English sounding answer. It’s not “lying”, it’s just glorified autocomplete. Saying things like “it’s lying” is overselling what it is. As much as any other thing that doesn’t work is not malicious, it just sucks.

You asked about beaches, so are you interested in how they form geologically, which ones are good for surfing, or just looking for a sunbathing destination?

The person you replied to was joking based on your typo.

The question doesn’t imply communism is totalitarian, just like asking if you ever drove a car or bicycle doesn’t imply cars are bicycles.

No, it’s not. It’s part of React internals that you shouldn’t use because your app will break. It’s a warning for developers using React. It’s not a secret of any kind.

I would never use anything else for Java or Kotlin. Through the free and open source JetBrains IDE of course.

Two actually. The one from the before the suit change is also left there, and Catherine said he will wake up in a day or two. Maybe they can meet up actually.

What do you mean he wasn’t so lucky, after all he lived out his live in Toronto. That he did a brain scan at some point of his life doesn’t matter. Sucks for the robot who thought he was him.

I was just annoyed at the protagonist for expecting anything else. The exact same thing already happened 2 times to the protagonist (initial copy at beginning of the game, then move to the other suit). Plus it’s reinforced in the found notes for good measure. So by the ending, the player knows exactly what’s going to happen and so should the protagonist, but somehow he’s surprised.

Only if you copy and paste to the same disk. When copy pasting to a different disk, as any consciousness transfer would entail, it is very much actually copied and actually removed (from the index).

Yeah we are in their comment thread
