google does a lot more than simply find you a website


"ghosting" just means ending all interaction without warning. not necessarily in the context of a relationship. one can ghost a job, a friend, or even someone selling things on craigslist.

"He ghosted me after finding out I have kids."


Ghosting can also be situational.

For instance, you can ghost from a bar or party, which is essentially just disappearing without saying goodbye and trying to avoid anyone noticing you leaving. Also called an Irish Goodbye.


FWIW in Spain is a French goodbye


I've heard it as the Irish Goodbye as recently as the monologue of last week's Saturday Night Live with Saorise Ronan!


do you have a source on that?


I know it in my heart of hearts. Nice try.


It feels true, therefore it is true.


ok. people can be offended by things that weren't intended to offend them. this does happen from time to time.

buy why would the speaker withdraw instead of contacting the event organizers? if it bothered her, she wouldn't necessarily have to go into any detail as to why she found it offensive. she should just chew them out for this debacle and threaten to withdraw if they don't alter the image.

this whole thing seems like a poor choice by the event organizers, followed by a poor reaction from a speaker, which led to a poor response from the organizers.

you aren't automatically "right" just because the other guy is wrong.


She wanted to be taken seriously, that undermined it, she has that right. That the organizers responded the way they did says enough:

This is not how adults handle situations.


Perspective - if someone photoshopped my face onto pancho villa I could choose to be undermined or be a good sport about it, regardless of how wrong the other party may have been.

I will say this, being outraged may vault her into the limelight and accelerate her name recognition, if not for a moment. Almost sounds like an incentive to choose to be a victim


Or maybe she had a legitimate reason to be offended. You don't get to chose that.


I think you missed my point where i would be offended and still handle it with grace.

Oh and to shortcircuit the strawman observation, I've been in many professional situations where my latino heritage is used in a malicious and insulting way which offends me but I CHOOSE a constructive non confrontational conflict resolution that includes dialogue


it could be related to power draw inconsistencies in cells with concave angles


but what would congress do?


my speculation is that these talks are specifically in regard to tracking some biometric that the current line of apple watches doesn’t yet have sensors for.


they said 1 gig symmetrical


Doesn't necessarily mean that's what their family are connected with (to the backup server).


maybe we need to re-evaluate free speech protections to bring them into alignment with today’s world, where certain corporations can be (arguably) more powerful than governments


google glass wasn’t really AR the same way that arkit is.

glass was more of a novelty camera you wore on your face. it was extremely unfashionable, and quickly became associated with “people trying to record you” and invasion of privacy in general.

i think if apple releases some kind of headset, it will look more like regular eyewear. it will also unquestionably be for augmented reality. society probably won’t conflate it with someone trying to snap candid shots like glass.
