It forgot all other locations where the lines are too long to read and you cannot scroll (e.g. the part about embeddings) - from Firefox on Android.

IJ is a seperate character (?) in Dutch There are more like this: ei, eu, ui, oe, ch (and I'm probably forgetting some others)

It's a ligature:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligature_(writing)

A specialized font glyph but not a special Unicode character.


I think you're forgetting about accountability: who's to blame when AI messes up?



The Guardian doesn’t have a paywall


In some circumstances it has a registration wall. I recently ran into it on one of my computers, and it prevented me from reading some articles until I removed the modals with browser devtools. Stupid and pointless, and just pushes people away or towards workarounds like archive.is. I've given The Guardian money in the past but I don't have or want an account.


Just because you immediately clicked "yeah sure sell all my data so I don't have to pay" doesn't mean it's not paywalled, please be a little more discerning.


There's no button that says that.


It does. I pay with money (eg I'm forced to pay for a subscription) or ads (I'm forced to pay with resources)

> In the event that someone is directly attacking Americans in America

Didn't Trump have the army attack democratic cities earlier this year?


No, he did not. Where did you come up with this idea?


It's a complicated bit of American constitutional / federal law. Tl;dr...

The US military cannot be used to perform domestic policing functions (Posse Comitatus Act https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posse_Comitatus_Act ), except in times of insurrection or when state unable or unwilling to suppress violence that threatens citizens' constitutional rights (Enforcement Acts https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enforcement_Acts ).

Hence Trump's continual (and false) claims that the cities he's targeting are lawless and dangerous places.

The above applies to federal US military forces. The laws specifically exclude the US Coast Guard. Non-military federal forces (FBI, ICE, etc) are also excluded.

It also, in the more complicated quirk, excludes state military forces (i.e. "National Guard" units). These forces can be activated under a variety of different legal frameworks (see https://www.nationalguard.mil/Portals/31/Resources/Fact%20Sh... ), some of which allow their use for domestic police functions (Title 32 and SAD), because they're still under the command of the state governor (who can use military forces to perform domestic policing functions inside their state or a neighboring state).

There's also a special exclusion for Washington, DC, as technically the president is sort of its governor for many purposes.

Given that background, what actually happened...

- Trump activated National Guard units under Title 10 (aka federal active duty service), because this doesn't require the consent of a state's governor

- Trump then deployed these units to several cities, some with the support of Republican governors and some without the support of Democratic governors

- The administration's legal team realized performing policing functions with the above forces was on extremely shaky ground

- Therefore, they mostly claimed (loudly) that they were deploying "the military", but in actuality used them for extremely limited, non-policing purposes (picking up trash, talking to tourists, guarding federal buildings, guarding other federal agents performing law enforcement functions)

- After state governments sued, the courts generally agreed the deployment was unlawful ( https://www.reuters.com/world/us-supreme-court-rejects-trump... )



I suppose it would help if I could read the whole page: I cannot see the left few characters on Firefox on Android. What did you make this with?

Note that fixing the site won't increase my chances of donating, I'm from the ASML country ;)


Should be fixed now. Cheers!


That's annoying... I made it with Next.js and Tailwind CSS tho. Hosted on Vercel.


I live in the Netherlands for almost 50 years and never heard of it either.
